need you need an umbrella right however in british we have a very interesting informal word for umbrella
34
which is broly broly have you taken your broly today don't forget your broly

Pour down.
44
Now, what does pour mean?
45
Imagine you have a glass full of water.
46
Then you tilt the glass and then the water starts pouring down
47
and that's where this phrasal verb comes from
48
if it's pouring down it means it's raining heavily as
49
if somebody's up there with a bucket
50
and is pouring down the rain oh look it's pouring down
51
outside we cannot go to the park it's pouring down now
52
pour down was a phrasal verb we actually have a noun
53
for it downpour what is downpour it's exactly the same thing
54
but instead of a phrasal verb it's a noun downpour downpour means
55
when it rains very heavily for a long period of time
56
for example we had a downpour yesterday the streets are flooded flooded means full of water
57
and here's a very fun and informal word spit you know what spit is it's

that is called spit it's as
62
if somebody's up there is spitting on us for example it's just spitting a bit

but it's not too bad you don't need your brulee
64
when it's spitting do you get soaked no when it's spitting outside do you need to take your brolly?
65

68
that if you are a good person
69
and you die you will go to heaven now here is
70
the phrase the heavens open it means up there the doors of heaven are open
71
so water is coming down the heavens open means to rain
72

73
past tense you can say the heavens opened for example we were having a picnic
74

95
breeze today now let's talk about the weather now the weather

126
and talk about extreme weather conditions the first word we're going to learn is a tornado tornado
127
but what is a tornado a tornado is a powerful windstorm
128
that goes around it's also called a cyclone for example there was a tornado warning on tv yesterday
129
and we had to go to the basement
130
another type of extreme weather condition is a hurricane hurricane
131
but what is it it's a very big storm with strong winds
132
and rain that comes from the ocean so
133
if your town is next to the ocean you may have hurricanes there is a hurricane coming this weekend
134
so we have to be careful now another type of weather is
135
when you have wind but instead of rain you have snow
136
and that is called a blizzard blizzard
137
when there is a lot of strong wind and snow that's a blizzard for example
138
there was a blizzard last night schools are closed today so i think students are very happy
139
now in many types of extreme weather conditions you will hear a sound like
140
and you will see a light in the sky what is that called well the light is called a lightning
141
and the sound is called a thunder so thunder
142
and lightning many people are afraid of thunder
143
and lightning how about you are you afraid of it now we know what rain is
144
and we know what snow is
145
but sometimes ice comes down from the sky it's in the shape of a little circle little ball
146
and it can cause damage but what is
147
that called it's called hail now as a noun hail means the little ice balls
148
that fall from the sky it can cause damage sometimes they
149
are in the size of tennis ball as a verb it means the falling of all those little ice balls
150
so hail is noun and a verb just like snow just like rain it hailed yesterday
151

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
