Coffee Break English, Season 1, Episode 1.
2
Hello everyone and welcome to Coffee Break English.
3
My name's Josie.
4
And my name is Mark and we are very happy to be here.
5
Josie, tell us a little about Coffee Break English.
6
Coffee Break English is a podcast which will help you improve your English if you're learning English.
7
Each week, we listen to a text from somewhere in the English-speaking world and we focus on a language point,
8
something about grammar or maybe vocabulary.
9
And what level is Coffee Break English for?
10
Well, we'll be starting off quite basic.
11
To start with, we'll review some basic grammar.
12
So I would say the level is about A2 or pre-intermediate.
13
So if you already know some English and you want to get even better, this podcast is for you.
14
We are going to be listening to texts from all over the English-speaking world.
15
But Mark and I are both Scottish and we live in Scotland.
16
We'll be hearing lots of different accents in the episodes of Coffee Break English,
17
so this will help you understand lots of people.
18
That's right, Mark.
19
So, let's get started.
20
OK Josie, tell us about today's text.
21
Today, we're listening to Katrina, who is also Scottish, but she lives in Manchester in the UK.
22
At the moment, she's on holiday in Italy and she's telling us all about what she's doing there.
23
Okay, and what language point are we learning about?
24
We are learning about the difference between the present continuous tense and the present simple tense.
25
That sounds good.
26
Let's listen to the text.
27
This week I'm on holiday with my family in Italy.
28
I'm with my husband, our son, my sister and her three children.
29
We are staying in a small house in the countryside on the Amalfi Coast.
30
We live in Manchester, which is a busy city in the UK, so it's very quiet for us here.
31
The weather is beautiful.
32
Today the sun is shining and it's very hot.
33
In Manchester, it isn't usually warm.
34
It's usually rainy and cloudy.
35
The children are enjoying the sun because they love playing outside and swimming in the pool.
36
Back home, we often go swimming in the local pool, but we never swim outside.
37
It's too cold.
38
At the moment, we are having breakfast in the garden.
39
The adults are drinking coffee and the children are drinking fresh orange juice and we are all eating some chocolate pastries.
40
At home, we hardly ever have pastries for breakfast.
41
We normally have cereal and toast.
42
We are enjoying the cool morning weather and planning what to do today.
43
This morning, we are going to the beach and then later we are having lunch in a little pizza restaurant.
44
The food here is delicious, especially the ice cream.
45
In the UK, we rarely have ice cream, but at the moment we're buying it every day.
46
Oh well, we're on holiday.
47
It sounds like Katrina's having a lovely time.
48
She's very lucky.
49
OK, now let's read the text again,
50
more slowly, and we'll explain about the vocabulary and the language that we hear.
51
Mark, would you like to start reading the text again?
52
Okay.
53
Katrina said, This week I'm on holiday with my family in Italy.
54
Good.
55
Remember, holiday in British English, and we can say vacation in American English.
56
I'm on vacation with my family.
57
I'm with my husband, our son, my sister, and her three children.
58
We are staying in a small house in the countryside on the Amalfi Coast.
59
Good.
60
So they're staying in the countryside.
61
The countryside is not the city.
62
So where the mountains and the green spaces are, not in the city.
63
So Katrina says we are staying in a small house.
64
Here she uses the present continuous tense.
65
We are staying.
66
Why do you think she says we are staying instead of we stay, Mark?
67
Because she's seeing what she is doing at the moment.
68
Exactly.
69
We use the present continuous tense to say what we are doing at the time of speaking.
70
So it's for actions in progress or temporary actions.
71
Josie, how do we form the present continuous?
72
Good question.
73
To make the present continuous, we take a part of the verb be in the present tense.
74
In this case, the subject is we, so we use we are.
75
Next, we take the main verb, so the verb with the meaning in this sentence,
76
and we add ing to the end, staying.
77
This is also known as the gerund.
78
Staying, doing, making, playing, they are all the gerund.
79
Okay, shall we continue?
80
Let's go.
81
We live in Manchester, which is a busy city in the UK, so it's very quiet for us here.
82
Good.
83
So here, Katrina says we live in Manchester.
84
In this case, she uses the present simple tense because she lives in Manchester all the time, in general.
85
So when we talk about something which is generally true, like a routine or a habit, we use the present simple tense.
86
But when we talk about an action in progress or a temporary action, we use the present continuous.
87
We are staying.
88
We live.
89
Okay.
90
The weather is beautiful.
91
Today the sun is shining and it's very hot.
92
Okay.
93
Today the sun is shining.
94
Here we have another example of the present continuous.
95
Katrina says, this is happening today.
96
So we use the present continuous, is shining.
97
In this case, we use the third person form of the verb be, is.
98
The sun is it, so we use is.
99
The sun is shining.
100
But Katrina said it is very hot.
101
Why is that the case?
102
Good question.
103
The present continuous doesn't work for all verbs.
104
So for the verb to be, we don't use that in the present continuous.
105
We can't say it is being very hot, for example.
106
That's right.
107
It sounds a bit funny.
108
Yes, it does.
109
So even if we're talking about an action in progress, we just use the present simple form of to be.
110
It is very hot.
111
Okay.
112
In Manchester, it isn't usually warm.
113
It's usually rainy and cloudy.
114
Yes, this is typical UK weather, isn't it?
115
Rainy and cloudy.
116
Absolutely.
117
Yes, but warm, that's somewhere in between hot and cold.
118
The perfect temperature, I think.
119
And in this sentence, it isn't usually warm.
120
Katrina uses the present simple again, because she's talking about something in general.
121
In Manchester, in general, it isn't usually warm.
122
This word usually, this tells us that we should use the present simple.
123
It's called an adverb of frequency.
124
And we'll see more adverbs of frequency later in the text.
125
The children are enjoying the sun because they love playing outside and swimming in the pool.
126
Yes, so the children are enjoying the sun.
127
Again, this is an action in progress with the present continuous because they love playing outside.
128
This means not in a building, not in a house.
129
So outside, in this case, in the pool, outside.
130
Back home, we often go swimming in the local pool, but we never swim outside.
131
It's too cold.
132
Yes.
133
So here we have more examples of the present simple.
134
We often go and we never swim.
135
Katrina also uses adverbs of frequency here.
136
Often and never.
137
Okay.
138
You said often and I said often.
139
That's right.
140
I didn't make a mistake and you didn't make a mistake either.
141
We can say often or often.
142
They're exactly the same.
143
That sounds good.
144
Okay, we're going to take a short break now
145
and we'll be back soon to find out more about Katrina's holiday on the Amalfi Coast.
146
Each episode of the Coffee Break English podcast is free and you can use our podcast to help you improve your English.
147

148
That's right.
149

151

153
Welcome back.
154
Let's continue with the text.
155
At the moment, we are having breakfast in the garden.
156
Good.
157
That sounds nice, doesn't it?
158
Breakfast in the garden.
159
Absolutely.
160
Yeah, we rarely do that in Scotland.
161
But Katrina is doing this at the moment in Italy.
162
So she uses this phrase at the moment to say that it's happening at the time that she's speaking.
163
Is at the moment an adverb of frequency?
164
Ah, good question.
165
It's not an adverb of frequency.
166
Adverbs of frequency always go before the verb in the phrase.
167
So, for example, we often go, we never swim.
168
However, when the verb is to be, the adverb of frequency goes after.
169
For example, it is usually rainy.
170
So to return to your question, at the moment is not an adverb of frequency.
171
It's just a short phrase that we put at the beginning of the sentence to tell us when the action is happening.
172
So usually when we use at the moment, we use the present continuous.
173
That's right.
174
Okay, the adults are drinking coffee, and the children are drinking fresh orange juice,
175
and we are all eating some chocolate pastries.
176
Good.
177
So, all of these actions are happening as Katrina is speaking, so they are all in the present continuous.
178
are drinking, are drinking, and we're eating some chocolate pastries.
179
That sounds delicious.
180
I'm feeling hungry at the moment.
181
And good use of the present continuous there, Mark.
182
Thank you.
183
Okay.
184
At home, we hardly ever have pastries for breakfast.
185
We normally have cereal and toast.
186
Good.
187
So Katrina is comparing her breakfast in Italy to her breakfast at home.
188
So she uses the present simple to talk about the breakfast at home.
189
We hardly ever have pastries.
190
We normally have cereal and toast.
191
This is what she does every day.
192
It's a routine for her.
193
So we use the present simple.
194
So, hardly ever and normally, are these adverbs of frequency?
195
Yes, they are.
196
Hardly ever means almost never, nearly never.
197
And normally, well, that's the same as usually, generally.
198
Okay, let's continue.
199
We are enjoying the cool morning weather.
200
And planning what to do today.
201
Good.
202
So Katrina is back to the present continuous.
203
We are enjoying. And planning.
204
That's also the present continuous.
205
We are planning.
206
This morning, we are going to the beach.
207
And then later, we are having lunch in a little pizza restaurant.
208
Good.
209
So here we're using the present continuous again.
210
This morning, we are going to the beach.
211
But Katrina already told us that at the moment, she is having breakfast.
212
Right, Mark?
213
Yes, she can't do both things at the same time.
214
No, exactly.
215
So here we have a different use of the present continuous.
216
We can use it to talk about our future plans or arrangements
217
when we are very sure about what we're going to do in the future.
218
So, Katrina knows that soon they are going to the beach and later they are having lunch.
219
That's right.
220
These are their plans.
221
So they use the present continuous.
222
So, Mart, I could ask you, what are you doing this evening?
223
This evening I am watching a film with my family. That sounds lovely.
224
What are you doing this evening?
225
Hmm.
226
This evening, I'm not watching a film.
227
I'm reading a book, I think.
228
Okay, that sounds good too.
229
Let's continue with our text.
230
The food here is delicious, especially the ice cream.
231
Good.
232
So the food here is delicious.
233
Delicious means very good, very tasty food.
234
I agree with Katrina.
235
Italian food is delicious.
236
Yes, I love it too.
237
Okay, let's continue.
238
In the UK, we rarely have ice cream, but at the moment, we're buying it every day.
239
Good.
240
So in the UK, we rarely have ice cream.
241
So present simple here, talking about Katrina's normal life.
242
We rarely, we almost never have ice cream.
243
But at the moment, present continuous, we are buying it every day.
244
Oh well, we're on holiday.
245
And here, Katrina says we are on holiday.
246
So remember, no present continuous with the verb to be.
247
We are on holiday.
248
Even though she's on holiday at the moment.
249
That's right.
250
Okay, shall we listen to the text again?
251
That sounds like a good idea.
252
So we can listen and listen out for everything we have talked about today.
253
Sounds good.
254
This week I'm on holiday with my family in Italy.
255
I'm with my husband, our son, my sister and her three children.
256
We are staying in a small house in the countryside on the Amalfi Coast.
257
We live in Manchester, which is a busy city in the UK, so it's very quiet for us here.
258
The weather is beautiful.
259
Today the sun is shining and it's very hot.
260
In Manchester it isn't usually warm.
261
It's usually rainy and cloudy.
262
The children are enjoying the sun because they love playing outside and swimming in the pool.
263
Back home we often go swimming in the local pool but we never swim outside.
264
It's too cold.
265
At the moment we are having breakfast in the garden.
266
The adults are drinking coffee and the children are drinking fresh orange juice and we are all eating some chocolate pastries.
267
At home we hardly ever have pastries for breakfast.
268
We normally have cereal and toast.
269
We are enjoying the cool morning weather and planning what to do today.
270
This morning we are going to the beach and then later we are having lunch in a little pizza restaurant.
271
The food here is delicious, especially the ice cream.
272
In the UK we rarely have ice cream, but at the moment we are buying it every day.
273
Oh well, we're on holiday!
274
That's all for this episode.

דקדוק בסרטון הזה
המבנים שהדובר משתמש בהם הכי הרבה, עם המילים המדויקות מהסרטון:
| מבנה | בסרטון |
|---|---|
| משפטי זיקה (Relative clauses) who / which + clause — מידע נוסף על אדם או דבר | podcast which will · Manchester, which is · something which is |
| פועל + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — פעלים שמתחברים ל-ing אחריהם | love playing · start reading |
| הווה ממושך (Present continuous) am/is/are + -ing — משהו שמתרחש כרגע או בסביבה הקרובה לזמן הזה | you're learning · we're listening · she's telling |
| עתיד עם “will” will + verb — החלטה, הבטחה או ניבוי לגבי העתיד | will help · we'll be · we'll review |

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
