To be honest with you, heatwaves in London are really shit because there's a lot of concrete,
24
there's a lot of concrete and a lot of really high buildings There's not a lot of breeze.

27
It's just impossible to escape the heat.

Finding an outdoor garden like an outdoor cafe
33
or an outdoor bar is a really common thing to do

52
on people, on dates.
53
I love trying to work out if I think it's going well.
54
or not so We're eavesdropping, eavesdropping some free furniture.
55
Thank you.
56
- - Something that I think lots of people don't know or maybe don't see in London when they're here.
57
are the canals and the canal boats.

Oh man, maybe more hens!
59
Oh, shut up.
60
- Yeah.
61
That's a moorhan. with chicks.
62
Thank you.
63
- Thank you.
64
Oh my god that's so cute.
65
But if you come to London, I think walking down by the canals It's so lovely.
66
So this is Victoria Canal.
67
There are others in the city as well.
68
There's a place called Little Venice which is full.
69
of canal boats and I definitely recommend checking it out while you're here - There are so many birds chirping.
70
Thank you.
71
London is a massive city.
72
I think it's 9 million people live here in London.
73
But it's very sprawling.
74
So sprawling means it's very wide.
75
Obviously the city of London that I showed you earlier has a lot of skyscrapers but
76
This area we're in right now has lots more of these like small
77
old townhouses and this is accessible by tube it's a cool place to visit Maybe if you're here for...
78
more than a weekend.
79
Like if you're here just for one weekend, There are probably some more I don't know, impressive?
80
landmarks to see like all of the museums, there are so many museums.
81
There are so many museums to see and so many monuments, so maybe you won't make it here, but if you're here for like a few days or If you're in London for study abroad,
82
This is a really cool area.
83
If I were moving back to London, I would probably, I'd probably move back into this area.
84
It's also quite green.
85
As you can see, there's lots of flowers and things on the streets.
86
It's gorgeous gorgeous in summer.
87
- some cute whites Terrace houses.
88
Probably Victorian, I think.
89
and straight ahead here is the Victoria Park.
90
Thank you.
91
I'm sleeping all that this time.
92
There are lots of people sunbathing.
93
A lot of us like to be tan.
94
So there's lots of people sunbathing.
95
There's also people like running.
96
which is crazy because it's 30 degrees.
97
But honestly, we're not very used to the heat.
98
So I think a lot of us just don't actually know like what you should be doing.
99
Lots of people like to have like a tinny A tinny in the park so I have a rhubarb and what?
100
A gin.
101
rhubarb and ginger tonic and what people will do is They will come to the park on a sunny day.
102
and yeah just buy a drink from the local supermarket.
103
from a nearby supermarket and yeah, just enjoy a drink in the park with their friends.
104
might bring a speaker or they might sunbathe and just have a have a tinny So.
105
Cheers.
106
We're going to finish up these drinks and we're going to head back towards Shoreditch area.
107

108
Um, well...
109
I am now in a hotel.
110
This afternoon I said I was going to show you around Brick Lane.
111
and Guys, I haven't chained you around Brick Lane.
112
I came back to the hotel and I fell asleep.
113
I've been up since so early this morning.
114
So I'm just feeling like so Tired like really really tired and I just needed to have a nap,
115
but It's now about 6 :00 p .m.
116
I think actually half six and Oh!
117
It's actually it's 10. to seven.
118
I'm now going to meet a friend for dinner and maybe get some drinks as well.
119
The plan is I'm going to get ready super quickly.
120
I'm just in the same outfit as before.
121
I'm going to head out into London.
122
So Today is Thursday.
123
Thursday is quite a fun night, I think, because not everybody, but many people work from home, especially like on a Friday.
124
So usually like people like to get drinks on a Thursday.
125
It's quite fun.
126
So there's usually a pretty good vibe, especially on a warm, sunny day like today.
127
It should be nice to go out and grab a drink.
128
I also am really hungry.
129
I was planning on eating something else today, this afternoon, like a late lunch and then have a late dinner.
130
But I fell asleep, so I think I'm going to get a pizza with my friend from from uni.
131
Lots of people worry that London is maybe like a dangerous.
132
city There's lots of discussions about like knife crime and phone snatching and stuff.
133
I think London, I feel very safe in London.
134
Actually, as far as like anywhere I've lived, I feel very comfortable in London.
135
I feel happy walking around at night.
136
I felt happy like going around by myself in the day.
137
I actually think even in like four years I never had a bad experience living in London,
138
which maybe that's like me being very lucky or being very privileged in the places that I'm in.
139
I personally have had way more bad experiences in the United States.
140
Well, the United States, only California.
141
I lived in California for one year.
142
Personally, for me, compared to like my experience in the US, the UK feels very safe.
143
So come to London, it's a great city.
144
And yeah, I'm going to head out now.
145
I'm on my way to my friends now.
146
I have ordered a pizza It's only from Domino's.
147
Is that so bad?
148
She wants like a proper Italian pizza and I was like I'm gonna bring one from Domino's.
149
Which normally I think I have good taste in food but Domino's is like a guilty pleasure. of mine.
150
It's like I shouldn't love it, but I do.
151
Also, ignore my shoulder.
152
It's a little bit sunburned. That sucks.
153
I forgot my sun cream today.
154
It was in my big suitcase, so I didn't actually put any on.
155
Anyway.
156
- Thank you.
157
I'm in the same bathroom.
158
So I have just got back from being out.
159
I went to one of my friend's apartments to have pizza.
160
She is doing an internship in the city so I got to catch up with her.
161
And then I met up with my brother for some drinks.
162
It's been a really good day.
163

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
