Hello and welcome to another episode of Elephant English Podcast.
2
Today I'm going to be talking about what I do in the evenings.
3
I'm going to be following some speaking questions
4
that you might have in your speaking exam and I'm going to answer these questions.
5
The first question is, what do you do in the evenings?
6
In the evenings I usually relax because I come home from work in the late afternoon.
7
Some things I do to relax are watch an episode of my favourite series,
8
play with my cat or do some exercise.
9
I enjoy going for a short walk around my neighbourhood
10
when the weather is nice so that I can spend some time outdoors while doing a bit of exercise.
11
I sometimes need to go grocery shopping in the evening
12
but I don't usually go to many different places in the evenings after work.
13
Question number two is, do you do the same thing every evening?
14
I usually do similar things every evening from Monday to Thursday because of work.
15
I have a routine that I normally follow every day.
16
However, my evenings are different at the weekend.
17
On Friday and Saturday evenings, I usually go out to do something different,
18
like meeting my friends or going for a drink.
19
Question number three is, do you spend your evenings with family or friends?
20
I only spend my evenings with friends at the weekend,
21
but my family often comes to visit me in the evenings from Monday to Friday.
22
When my family comes to visit, it is an informal occasion, but when my friends visit,
23
it is more of a special occasion.
24
This is why I prefer to spend time with friends only at the weekend.
25
Question number four is do you ever work in the evenings?
26
Yes, I sometimes work in the evenings.
27
When I have a lot of exams to correct, I have to do them after work.
28
I try to avoid marking activities and exams at home but sometimes there is just not enough time.
29
Question number five is what is a popular activity that young people in your country do in the evenings?
30
I think that a lot of young people in England like spending time at the gym or going for a run.
31
They enjoy these activities because it makes them feel refreshed after coming home from work.
32
Also, it is quite motivating to see how you improve every time you go for a run or go to the gym.
33
The last question is, what did you used to do in the evenings when you were a child?
34
When I was a child I used to spend my evenings doing my homework,
35
playing and looking after my pets.
36
I used to take about an hour to do my homework which I used to start at 4 o'clock.
37
After that I would play with my brother for a few hours.
38
Sometimes we played in the garden and other times we stayed inside playing lego.
39
Then we would feed all of our pets and take our dogs for a walk.
40
This would take more than an hour because we had so many animals.
41
In today's video I've talked about what I do in the evenings.

Gramática en este vídeo
Las estructuras que más usa el hablante, con las palabras exactas del vídeo:
| Estructura | En el vídeo |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + verbo — un hábito o estado pasado que ya no es cierto | used to do · used to spend · used to take |
| Present perfect have/has + participio pasado — una acción pasada que sigue importando ahora | I've talked · have enjoyed |
| Futuro con “going to” be going to + verbo — un plan o algo que se ve venir | I'm going to be · I'm going to answer |
| Obligación: must / have to / need to decir que algo es necesario | need to go · have to do |
Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
El hablante usa 6 contracciones y formas reducidas, como I'm, don't, I'll. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: refresh /ɹɪˈfɹɛʃ/, examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/
Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- /z/ — sonora, no /s/: exam /ɪɡˈzæm/, examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/
- /h/ — una aspiración suave, no la “j”: homework /ˈhoʊmˌwɝk/, neighbourhood /ˈneɪbə.hʊd/
Cómo practicar con este vídeo
- Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
- Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como homework, relax, motivate.
¿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.
