1
Welcome back to our Cornwall adventure.
2
We are showing you all around Cornwall and teaching you some useful English along the way.
3
We have arrived in Penzance.
4
I have memories of coming to Cornwall and going crabbing
5
and it was so exhilarating to pull up the bucket
6
and see all these crabs and then obviously you let them go afterwards
7
so you catch the crabs in a bucket you go look at my crabs
8
and then you let them go again you release them well that's interesting over there that's pretty cool is
9
that a swimming pool
10
so this was built in the 1930s
11
but in 2020 they launched a geothermal pool so it's heated
12
so in the natural water in the salt water
13
but they heat it to 35 degrees that's nice that's nice
14
because I bet the water's cold right now but if it's heated that's lovely let's have a look
15
This is proper vintage.
16
This would have been the original turnstile from when it opened in 1930.
17
So you walk up, pay your fare, go through the turnstile, go for a dip.
18
i've noticed a lot of these in cornwall
19
and actually a lot of them across the uk they're actually everywhere
20
if you look close enough and what this is is
21
that there used to be a window here
22
but at some point i'm going to guess like 100
23
or 200 years ago the government to make more money introduced window tax
24
which is where they basically said
25
you have to pay more tax depending depending on how many windows you have in your house.
26
So a lot of people, in order to avoid the tax, boarded up their windows.
27
What do you reckon, Laura?
28
Do you reckon I'd be a good fisherman?
29
I think you'd be an excellent fisherman.
30
I don't know, I do get a bit seasick.
31
And you're a bit scared of the sea, so actually I think you'd be a terrible fisherman.
32
And I don't love fish.
33
that crab sandwich yet again hit the spot oh
34
it just hit the spot okay
35
we're going to go to saint michael's mount depending on what the tide is doing
36
sometimes you can take a boat there
37
and then we were going to take a boat today yeah we're going to take a boat
38
but the sea's a little bit choppy basically there's a there's a path
39
that you can walk to the mount to the castle but
40
when the tide is in obviously you can't walk on the path there is a little boat that transfers you but
41
yeah the sea is a little bit choppy today
42
so the boats aren't running
43
so we're gonna walk gonna walk to st michael's mount have a look around um
44
i've not been there before no we've always seen it
45
but we've never actually i've never walked across crossed over to to be on the little island
46
so yeah we're gonna go there
47
so let's go to saint michael's mount right let's cross over
48
to saint michael's mount look at how we're dressed the good old british summer time eh yeah
49
you can never rely on it because it's june it's currently the fourth of june look at us
50
So you can see we've got a lot of pebbles here.
51
A lot of beaches in the UK are pebble beaches, not gorgeous sandy beaches.
52
A lot of them are like this, but this beach kind of has both.
53
So we've got a pebble part and then we've got a sandy part over there,
54
but it's still not kind of golden sands that you'd get in the Caribbean,
55
but I think it's got its own charm to it there's something about wearing a hat
56
and a coat and your wellies
57
and walking like on the beach in the wind i don't know
58
it's got its own charm to it i associate
59
this beach with a day in the summer a few years ago where laura's dad
60
and her stepmom lived down here and they brought their dog down here and there were people windsurfing
61
up and down the coast
62
and the dog chased them he took off
63
he took off like a rocket like i just went i'm having them he took off like a bullet
64
and just ran
65
and laura's dad was like oh he'll come back why isn't
66
it coming back no sign of him coming back no sign
67
and there was no sign of him getting him back
68
so we legged it yeah down the beach we absolutely laid
69
it it's quite hard to leg
70
it in wellington boots as
71
well in wellies
72
the wind
73
is blowing up my nostrils and i can smell that sea air
74
so clearly i actually think it's quite big credit like clearing up my sinuses laura
75
it's absolutely mind -boggling because we're now
76
so exposed to the elements here you know we it just chucked
77
it down a second ago it's the wind is blustery uh i just can't imagine building such a thing
78
when did they build it uh i mean there's they i just read there there's evidence
79
that there has been a human settlement on this island dating back 3 000 years 3 000 years wow
80
but the the monastery i think was built kind of like 1100
81
or something wow i mean just imagine building that
82
and now you were saying that there are actual people oh yeah
83
so so there is actually a family that live in
84
that castle i can't imagine having a residence like
85
that that's insane that's honestly like imagine just like christmas day
86
and you just imagine
87
that like asking the family i'll want to come over for christmas
88
i would feel like i'm living in a disney movie yeah
89
absolutely like it can't feel like real life have they got like like have they got netflix in there honestly it's insane.
90
Do they have, like, yeah, I can't imagine they're having a TV.
91
Amazon.
92
Does Amazon deliver?
93
Like, they must do.
94
I can't decide whether or not the isolation would be a good thing or a bad thing, because obviously sometimes
95
the isolation might be great
96
because you can just hide away from the rest of the world
97
and just live on your own but then on the flip side, on the other side of the coin,
98
you are just really far away from everything and everywhere.
99
this is one of the coolest things
100
i've ever seen in britain laura as you can see the tide is coming in
101
so we better get our skates on get back to the coast before we uh end up underwater that was
102
amazing so cool i'll do you know what yeah
103
that was fantastic one of the coolest things one of the coolest places
104
i've been in the uk definitely a very memorable birthday a very memorable birthday
105
and i actually think this birthday is going to get even more memorable
106
because we're about to head over to the minak theater
107
which is i think without doubt the coolest theater in the
108
country oh undoubtedly yeah what a place to be we're not going to the minak theater today
109
because there's a performance on so we thought we could go
110
and visit but the silver lining is tomorrow it's going to be better weather hopefully hopefully
111
and we can come back to visit at 10 a .m
112
so even though it's out of our way
113
it's a bit of a detour we're going to come back just to show you
114
because i think it's worth it
115
so tomorrow morning we will go to the theatre do you know what you should do
116
because we're doing all this subscribe to the channel yes
117
if you are enjoying these videos subscribe it really helps us give the video a like as well
118
so we're gonna go have some food
119
there's not a lot of choice of restaurants around
120
we're kind of in the middle of nowhere there's quite a lot of cafes
121
but they all close at about five
122
so we found we think we found a good place on google maps
123
so we're gonna go have some dinner check into the airbnb
124
and then chill i think because we've done a lot of walking around in the wind and rain today.
125
So we've just parked outside where our restaurant is and we've stumbled upon this hidden gem.
126
This is beautiful but this place is not plastered all over the tourism guides or whatever, it's just kind of tucked away, hidden and it's beautiful.
127
i love cornwall i'm stood here
128
now i've clambered over these rocks to get here just to
129
get a closer look of what's going on laura's quite risk of her
130
so she hasn't come here but i think this is a very very special moment this is amazing
131
We're in our Airbnb.
132
And it's so cute.
133
It's like a little studio.
134
I think it used to be a garage.
135
And I think they've converted this garage into this studio place.
136
And it's cosy.
137
And look at this view.
138
What more can a person want?
139
Have you had a very happy birthday?
140
I've had an amazing birthday, to be honest.
141
A very memorable one.
142
I think a lot of birthdays, especially in kind of COVID times, they all kind of blur into one.
143
But this one is very memorable.
144
This one really stands out.
145
So plan tomorrow.
146
We're going to get up bright and early to go to the Minack to show you that theatre because it's amazing.
147
And then we're going to St. Ives, which is my favourite place in Cornwall.
148
It's iconic.
149
We're going to show you
150
St. Ives and have another lovely day.
151
So we'll see you in the morning.
152
So this is the Minak.
153
It was built in 1931 and as you can see it's very impressive.
154
I can just imagine
155
if you are a director your mind must boggle at all of the possible things you could do in this theatre.
156
You could have people up there, you could have people over there, you could use the backdrop.
157
It's just it must be amazing seeing something like an opera here.
158
I can't even imagine how beautiful it must be with the sun going down oh
159
so cool romeo romeo wherefore art thou romeo we actually
160
we have been to see one production here we came to see some comedy improv
161
and it was very distracting because
162
when we were watching we could see dolphins behind the actors
163
which was i don't think you get
164
that in any other theater to be honest yes it was made by this lady here Rowena Cade
165
because she lived on a cliffside house
166
and some local people wanted to put on a production of The Tempest
167
and she said oh we'll make a theatre kind of in my house
168
because then you can have the sea as the backdrop
169
and then that was a really successful show and
170
so she thought I should make a theatre with the sea as the backdrop.
171
Yeah so when we came to see a show here it was glorious for the first hour
172
and then suddenly you saw everyone reaching for their umbrellas
173
and putting their hoods up because it started raining
174
but it didn't last for too long probably about 10 minutes
175
and then the sun shone again i think
176
that this would probably be the best job for an actor possible
177
when it's glorious sunshine and then probably one of the worst jobs ever
178
if it's chucking it down i think yeah
179
because then the novelty they probably go to
180
so many just non -descript like bog standard theaters true i would take it
181
if it was raining here
182
and i was performing shakespeare here yeah i'd take it i'd feel
183
so alive to the drama sometimes like imagine if you're performing hamlet
184
and you're doing to be
185
or not to be it's raining like it might add to the drama that's true
186
that would be really special yeah like the weather is a
187
character the weather is a another part of the set design yeah yeah yeah
188
that was beautiful i love the minac highly recommend
189
if you're ever here now we are heading to saint ives yeah everybody's favorite place in cornwall
190
it's iconic it's beautiful everyone loves it some great shops
191
i'm excited to have cornish pasties go to the beach

¿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.
