Hello, and make yourself comfortable.
2
I'm Sarah, and this is Everyday English Academy.
3
Mike and I are spending some time talking about September.
4
Hi, I'm Mike.
5
We were checking our calendars earlier.
6
You've kept your Wednesday evenings free, which looks rather nice.
7
Yes, once September gets busy, I want an evening when I don't have to go anywhere.
8
That's my entire September plan.
9
I usually want something to look forward to.
10
September feels like a transition, a change between one kind of month and another.
11
Especially when routines return.
12
My Tuesday exercise group starts again, so I'm returning to something familiar after the August break.
13
And I'm looking for something new.
14
You want your usual Tuesday back.
15
I want a reason to write somewhere else on my calendar.
16
You can have that.
17
I just don't think September needs to give me a whole new personality, complete with special shoes.
18
I haven't bought any shoes, but I do like that feeling of choosing something after a quieter stretch.
19
I understand the appeal.
20
My August wasn't especially quiet, though.
21
Work continued, and the dentist still expected me to turn up.
22
That's true.
23
The month can change without your life changing much.
24
What makes September feel different around you?
25
Mostly the air when I open the door.
26
It's cooler in the morning, but by the afternoon, I'm carrying my jacket.
27
I like those mornings.
28
You step outside and actually notice the temperature instead of walking straight past everything.
29
I noticed that I chose the wrong clothes.
30
Yesterday, I left wearing a sweater
31
and came home with it over my arm that's why you
32
need layers a shirt underneath a sweater over it perhaps a
33
jacket you can remove something as it gets warmer yes clothes
34
over other clothes i manage two layers quite happily after
35
that i'm carrying half my closet around town two should cover most ordinary afternoons, although you do feel colder sooner than I do,
36
especially when we sit outside.
37
Because you choose the table in the shade, you call it peaceful.
38
I sit there wishing I'd brought another sleeve.
39
I'll let you choose the table.
40
I still want to eat outside while we have those warm afternoons.
41
So do I, actually.
42
I like September weather
43
when I can enjoy it without needing to trust it completely
44
there's a lot of variation here monday might feel warm
45
while tuesday feels much cooler those differences are the variation
46
and sometimes the differences within one day last week i opened my windows at lunch
47
and closed them before dinner was it getting cold already
48
or was that the evening someone nearby started practicing the trumpet both unfortunately
49
The temperature dropped and the trumpet player found a particularly difficult song.
50
I hope they're enjoying the practice.
51
At least you had a reason to close the windows.
52
Mine stayed open and several insects took that as an invitation.
53
The temperatures fluctuate here throughout September.
54
They go up and down rather than getting steadily cooler every single day.
55
That describes it better than saying September is cold cold.
56
We can have a warm weekend after several cool days." And its getting cooler describes a gradual change.
57
Its cold describes how it feels now.
58
My jacket comes with me either way.
59
Mine usually stays by the door.
60
I check the weather when I leave, but I'm sometimes out longer than I planned.
61
Especially if you stop to take photographs.
62
You can spend 20 minutes waiting for someone to move away from a doorway.
63
Sometimes it's a very good doorway.
64
But you're right.
65
The light changes earlier now, so I have to plan around that.
66
Where we live, yes.
67
We should leave room for listeners whose September days are getting longer instead of shorter.
68
September brings spring to the southern hemisphere.
69
A hemisphere is half of Earth, and here we're talking about the southern or northern half
70
so someone in new zealand might be looking forward to warmer days
71
while i'm checking whether my jacket pockets have holes
72
and in other places wet and dry seasons matter more than our summer
73
and fall changes september doesn't come with one weather forecast
74
i like hearing those differences a rainy september somewhere else could look completely different from the month outside my window.
75
Even nearby towns can feel different.
76
My cousin lives closer to the coast, and she usually brings a jacket when I wouldn't.
77
She sounds prepared.
78
Does she also stand around photographing doors, or is that just your September activity?
79
Actually, I picked up a booklet at the community center.
80
I wanted the photography class, but someone had tucked a swimming schedule inside.
81
I brought home both although I only needed one I prefer
82
a printed schedule sometimes you can compare the days without opening
83
separate booking pages I draw circles around the times I can
84
actually manage that's what I did the photography class looked good
85
because beginners could use their phones then I noticed it was Thursday evening, which is usually when I buy groceries.
86
Shopping sounds movable, though.
87
A doctor's appointment would be different.
88
Do you like that particular shopping time, or is it just what you usually do?
89
Mainly habit.
90
The store is quiet, and I know where everything is.
91
The class and my usual grocery trip would overlap.
92
They'd happen partly at the same time.
93
You could shop earlier.
94
Unless the vegetables have asked specifically for Thursday evening, I think you've got some space to change things.
95
They haven't contacted me.
96
I did ask the employee, do you offer the photography class on another day?
97
She said they offered a single session each week.
98
That's a reasonable question.
99
You're asking what options exist.
100
You're not asking them to move an entire class because you need carrots.
101
She also showed me the room information.
102
The venue is the place where the class happens.
103
This one uses the smaller community building near the grocery store.
104
Oh, so you might combine the two trips.
105
I thought you'd have to cross town, which would make the evening more difficult.
106
I could, but I'd rather shop on Wednesday.
107
Carrying a bag of frozen food through a photography class doesn't sound particularly relaxing.
108
I agree with that decision.
109
My exercise group has a shelf for bags, but nobody needs to know what's slowly melting inside yours.
110
I haven't registered yet.
111
I checked the price, the dates, and whether I need any equipment.
112
My phone is enough, so the plan looks possible.
113
That sounds manageable.
114
You're changing one shopping trip, not rebuilding your whole week.
115
I'd still keep my Wednesday evening free.
116
Even if there was something you really wanted to try?
117
You sound quite protective of that empty space.
118
I am.
119
Returning to my exercise group is familiar.
120
Adding another activity needs more energy, even if the activity sounds enjoyable.
121
For me, something new can give me energy.
122
If every evening is exactly the same, I start wanting a change.
123
I get that.
124
But I enjoy knowing I'll be home.
125
I can make something to eat and decide what happens afterward.
126
No need to leave again once you've taken your shoes off.
127
That part makes complete sense to me.
128
Especially when it's getting dark earlier.
129
Sometimes the hardest part of an evening activity is putting your shoes back on.
130
Yes, leaving a comfortable chair takes effort.
131
I usually enjoy the activity once I'm there, though.
132
That's why I keep considering the class.
133
Have you checked how long the course lasts?
134
One evening can sound easy until it becomes every Thursday for several months.
135
It's six weeks.
136
That's short enough for me to try.
137
And there are no extra weekend trips I need to attend.
138
Then it's different from a big, ongoing obligation.
139
An obligation is something you have a duty to do, even when you don't feel like it.
140
Like my regular promise to drive my aunt to her appointment.
141
I arrange other things around that because she's depending on me.
142
Yes.
143
Wanting to try a class is different.
144
Although, once you register, you should check the attendance rules and any payment agreement.
145
I asked about those, too.
146
Reading the details isn't the exciting part, but I'd rather know before I pay.
147
That's the version of September enthusiasm I can support.
148
You can enjoy a new idea and still read the information underneath it.
149
There was a photo from last year's class in the booklet.
150
Everyone was taking pictures of the same red bicycle.
151
Somehow, the results looked completely different.
152
That would interest me more than pictures of expensive cameras.
153
It shows what you might actually do when you get there.
154
Yes, and nobody needed an amazing view.
155
One person photographed the seat with rain on it.
156
Someone else stood back and included the shop window behind it.
157
I'd probably take the whole bicycle first.
158
Then I'd notice my own reflection in the window and wish I'd stood somewhere else.
159
That's something I'd like help with.
160
I notice an interesting detail, but my photo often includes three things I didn't want.
161
You have a specific reason to join then.
162
You're not buying six weeks of an activity simply because the booklet arrived.
163
Although the booklet helped, seeing people enjoying an ordinary evening made the idea feel possible.
164
That's the September feeling I like.
165
I can understand that better than a new life schedule.
166
You want a different Thursday, and Thursday seems able to manage it.
167
My calendar is still fairly empty anyway.
168
There's room for a photography class without turning every evening into a busy one.
169
There's also a swimming schedule tucked in your booklet, just making sure it hasn't quietly become a plan.
170
That paper has more ambition than I do swimming isn't happening.
171
I only want one new activity.
172
Then you have my support.
173
I might even come along to see your photographs after you've taken a few.
174
We could meet Thursday before the class starts.
175
There's a public garden near the building, and it's open until early evening.
176
Thursday doesn't work for me.
177
I'm helping my sister choose paint for her hallway would saturday
178
afternoon work instead saturday works how about around two we could walk through the garden
179
and decide afterward whether we want something to eat
180
that suits me i don't need a full afternoon schedule a place
181
and a time are enough to start with same here although
182
your sister's hallway sounds like a serious appointment has she narrowed it down to a color yet green
183
but there are apparently many greens she has five paper samples
184
and i'm supposed to help her choose between them i would probably choose the color with the best name
185
that would make me a terrible person to invite you're staying
186
home then i need someone who notices the wall not someone
187
who falls in love with forest mourning i'll stick with saturday
188
afternoon for listeners those time phrases are useful in october
189
but on saturday a month uses in and a day uses on
190
and the usual pattern differs from a particular plan i usually
191
shop on thursdays describes mike's habit i'm shopping on wednesday describes his arrangement this week
192
which feels quite real now i've talked about changing my shopping days
193
so much that i should probably change it your food will still be there on wednesday you might discover
194
that the store is quiet then too maybe
195
but before i fill another evening what would you say if i invited you out on your free Wednesday.
196
Thanks for asking, but I'm staying home that evening.
197
I don't need to invent an appointment.
198
I'd suggest Saturday if I wanted to meet then.
199
I'd be comfortable hearing that from a friend.
200
I might be disappointed, but I wouldn't assume you were avoiding me.
201
That's what I hope.
202
An empty evening can be something I've chosen.
203
It doesn't automatically mean I'm available for anything.
204
I'm learning that about you.
205
I like invitations even when I can't accept them.
206
But you also like a quiet night without deciding.
207
Yes, and I still want you to invite me.
208
Just leave space for an answer that isn't always yes.
209
I can do that.
210
We've got useful language for both kinds of September now, the busy calendar and the quieter one.
211
Our garden plan still depends on the weather, though.
212
I'd rather agree on Saturday without promising to spend a whole afternoon outside.
213
The weather report mentioned scattered showers, which are short periods of rain in different places, so we might need somewhere to wait.
214
Rain is possible, but it may not rain everywhere or all afternoon.
215
We can check again before our walk.
216
It might brighten up after lunch.
217
If the clouds clear and the sky becomes lighter or sunnier, it brightens up.
218
I hope it does.
219
The garden has a covered entrance, but spending our entire visit underneath it sounds less appealing.
220
There's a free photo display inside the community building.
221
We could look at that if the weather makes the garden uncomfortable.
222
I'd enjoy that.
223
We can keep the afternoon and choose the place later.
224
I don't mind a plan that leaves us some choice.
225
So your calendar allows plans, provided the plans behave themselves.
226
I think Saturday has a good chance.
227
Saturday sounds promising.
228
Listen to these sentences and leave yourself a moment to say each one aloud.
229
I prefer layers on cooler mornings.
230
It might brighten up after lunch.
231
Could we choose a different venue?
232
Does the class overlap with your plans?
233
We're expecting scattered showers on Saturday.
234
I don't want another obligation this month.
235
Well done!
236
Keep the pace easy when you use those.
237
That line about the weather fits our weekend.
238
I want to keep walking outside, but I don't need a perfect forecast.
239
Neither do I.
240
I want to keep walking too, but I don't need to stand in the rain to prove it.
241
A short walk still counts as a pleasant afternoon.
242
We can turn back if the weather gets unpleasant.
243
I usually bring a warm drink when it's cooler.
244
My insulated cup keeps the heat in so the drink stays warm longer.
245
Insulated things slow down heat moving in or out.
246
That same cup can help keep a cold drink cool on a warmer day.
247
Mine works well, although the lid needs a careful turn.
248
I check it before putting the cup anywhere near my bag.
249
Sensible.
250
I carry water most of the time.
251
I don't want to buy something whenever I leave the house.
252
That's another reason I like walking.
253
September doesn't need to involve paying for a class, buying clothes, or booking a trip.
254
I agree.
255
The photography class is something I want, but I could also practice with my phone outside for free.
256
And if Saturday is wet, I might stay home and sort through my printed photos.
257
Some are still in the envelope from the store.
258
I'd enjoy that.
259
You find details you missed when you took them, especially people doing ordinary things in the background.
260
My favorite is a family photo where everyone looks serious except my uncle who's trying to open a packet of crackers.
261
That sounds worth keeping.
262
I prefer those pictures to the ones where everyone looks uncomfortable and perfectly arranged.
263
So do I.
264
An afternoon looking through photographs sounds good to me, even without joining anything or improving a skill.
265
You make a strong case for staying home.
266
I still want my class, but I don't need a new activity every month.
267
And I might try something later.
268
September isn't a deadline.
269
If October suits my week better, the idea can wait.
270
School calendars influence that feeling too.
271
Around here, September brings more students onto the morning buses, even for people who aren't studying.
272
But other listeners might be halfway through a school year, or their work schedule might change every week, regardless of the month.
273
If you work weekends, our Saturday garden plan might become your Tuesday morning plan.
274
The useful language still fits.
275
And some people are caring for relatives, looking for work, or studying at home.
276
Their September changes may be completely different.
277
What actually changes where you live when September arrives?
278
Tell us in a comment, perhaps about the weather or something that happens in your town.
279
I'd like to hear that.
280
My September preference is quite small.
281
Comfortable clothes, a regular Tuesday activity, and Wednesday at home.
282
Mine is the photography class, if all the details fit, and keeping some outdoor time.
283
I can leave the rest of my calendar alone.
284
Before we say goodnight, let's do a gentle recap of our September words, starting with the changes outside.
285
Transition means a change from one state to another.
286
For us, September can feel like the change between summer and fall.
287
Hemisphere means the northern or southern half of Earth in our weather discussion.
288
We remembered that September brings spring to the southern hemisphere.
289
Layers are clothes worn over other clothes.
290
Sarah's shirt and sweater let her adjust when the afternoon gets warmer.
291
And I'll still choose the sunny table.
292
Your lovely shady corner can wait until the weather is hot again.
293
You can have the sunshine.
294
Then we had two words for weather differences, variation and fluctuate.
295
Variation means a difference or change in something.
296
We He noticed the variation between warm September days and much cooler ones.
297
Fluctuate means to go up and down.
298
Our temperatures fluctuate, so a cool day doesn't guarantee that every following day will be colder.
299
Which is why my sweater travels home over my arm.
300
It's useful even when I'm no longer wearing it.
301
Our weekend forecast brought us another pair.
302
Scattered showers are short periods of rain in different places.
303
They could affect our garden walk.
304
Brighten up means to become lighter or sunnier.
305
We hoped the clouds would clear after lunch before we went outside.
306
And if they don't, we have the photo display.
307
I quite like having somewhere dry to go without ending the afternoon.
308
Me too.
309
Insulated means made to keep heat in or out.
310
My insulated cup keeps a drink warm during a cooler walk.
311
Provided you remember to close the lid carefully.
312
Your cup sounds reliable, but it still needs your help.
313
The lid gets checked twice.
314
Then we had our class and calendar words, starting with overlap.
315
Overlap means to happen partly at the same time, like my class and usual grocery trip.
316
Venue means the place where an event happens.
317
Mike checked the class venue and discovered it was near the grocery store.
318
That made getting there easier.
319
Choosing Wednesday for shopping solved the other problem without changing much about my week.
320
Obligation means something you have a duty to do.
321
We used your promise to drive your aunt as an example.
322
She depends on that ride, so it comes before an optional class.
323
I can enjoy September without treating every interesting idea as a duty.
324
That's a comfortable place to leave it.
325
some familiar plans, perhaps something new, and enough room to enjoy the month.
326
If you enjoyed spending this time with us, leave a like and subscribe.
327
We'd be happy to keep you company again.
328
Thanks for listening to Everyday English Academy.
329
I hope September brings you something pleasant, whatever the season looks like outside.
330
Enjoy your week and save yourself an evening you actually want.
331
We'll talk again soon.

इस पाठ के बारे में
आप "Talking about September in english | Easy English Podcast" के साथ Shadowing तकनीक का उपयोग करके अपनी अंग्रेजी का अभ्यास कर रहे हैं।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
