3
and you will learn a new english vocabulary today
4
i'm in bath in the west of the uk it's a pretty famous place to come
5
so going to go take a look around
6
Bath
7
and let's see what I can find here as you can see I'm at the train station right
8
now I'm at the Digcott Parkway train station
9
and this is my first stop on the journey
10
and I'm going to get on a train right here
11
and I'm going to head to Bath that's where I'm going today I'm going to Bath.
12
I woke up bright and early to wake up
13
and make this video today bright and early so
14
so yeah I'm about to head over to Bath now I'm going to get on the next train
15
and I'll head over there now.
16
So let's go to Bath.
17
I'm going to take a look at this one, and I'm going to take a look at this one,
18
and I'm going to take a look at this one, and I'm going to take a look at this one,
19
and I'm going to take a look at this one, and I'm going to take a look at this one,
20
and I'm going to take a look at this one, and I'm going to take a look at this one.
21
The train doors will open on the left -hand side in the direction of travel.
22
Please certify that you have all of your personal belongings with you
23
and find the gap between the train and the platform edge.
24
Okay guys as you can see I have reached
25
Bath so I am now in Bath and you may be wondering why why is it called Bath?
26
Why is this place called called Bath?
27
Well the reason is because there are baths here.
28
There are Roman baths here so that's that's why it's called Bath and it's a really nice place.
29
To get here from London only takes about an hour
30
and 20 minutes on the train so
31
if you do ever find yourself in London I would recommend a day trip to Bath.
32
Now if you've watched enough of my videos by now I'm sure
33
that you know that the first thing I like to do
34
when I make a video like this is I like to get a coffee,
35
just a small cup of coffee just to perk me up a bit
36
so that's what I'm going to go and do now.
37
thank you very much put the lid on it here
38
as you can see I got my cappuccino coffee I just need this just to perk me up a bit
39
before I start talking to the camera because when you're walking around
40
and you're talking to the camera you need to be awake you need lots of energy
41
so this just helps to perk me up a bit before I start filming
42
okay so I can hear music coming from that direction so I'm just going to go and Check it out.
43
Let's see where this music is coming from.
44
It seems like she's visiting.
45
you see the problem with the weather today is
46
that it's just it's a bit hard to know what to wear
47
this morning i was like okay i better wear three layers
48
i've got my jacket my shirt and my t -shirt because i was thinking oh it's quite cold
49
so three layers is a good idea but now we're at midday now i feel a bit too hot
50
you know so now i'm gonna have to take off this jacket
51
and change layers again
52
and that's that's what i don't like about the weather today
53
you know the weather is a little bit keeps changing there's clouds
54
and then there's sun
55
and then there's clouds it's just like the weather is decent
56
i guess it's kind of okay it's not freezing cold
57
it's not boiling hot like i wish the weather would just
58
decide what it wanted to be it's like the weather just keeps changing its mind
59
it doesn't want to be too hot it doesn't want to be too cold
60
and it's just like it keeps changing between like hot
61
and cold which is like it's really annoying so i don't really like today's weather to be honest
62
Don't really like it.
63
It's annoying.
64
So this here is called a weir.
65
Yeah, it's called a weir.
66
I mean, don't worry too much about that word, but you can see this controls the water of the river.
67
So I don't know exactly, but it controls the water levels.
68
And it's called a weir.
69
If you had never heard of a weir before, then don't worry, because I had never heard this word in my life either.
70
so it's my first time learning what a weir is
71
so don't worry too much about this this word you probably won't need it in your daily life
72
here there's a little bookshop see we have lots of paperback books so these are called paperbacks
73
here
74
and we have some more paperback books this is a john grisham book
75
i'm just gonna flick through the pages here see i'm just flicking through the pages
76
there let's take another paperback book and let's flick through the pages on that one
77
Now the reason that this place is called Bath is because there are Roman baths here.
78
The Roman baths are about 2 ,000 years old
79
and you can go in and you can take a look at the old Roman baths.
80
Tickets cost about £29 so I've decided
81
that I'm not going to go into the baths myself to film
82
but here are some images here are some videos of the roman baths
83
so that you can see for yourself you see bath is actually built on top of a natural hot spring
84
so naturally there is hot water a hot spring underneath this area
85
and the romans built on top of that
86
and that's where they built their roman baths a really important part of british history is during the roman period
87
so I believe it was about 43 AD
88
when the Romans actually invaded England for the first time
89
and the Romans stayed here for about 400 years
90
so a big part of early British history is the Roman period you know
91
and all over the country you can see things from the Roman period old Roman walls old Roman architecture
92
so yeah the Romans invaded England for about 400 years the
93
funny thing is they never invaded Scotland the Romans briefly tried to invade Scotland
94
and then I think they just kind of realized it just wasn't worth the hassle to try and occupy
95
Scotland at that time because the Scottish people were quite hard to deal with
96
so instead the Romans just built a big wall
97
which is called hadrian's wall hadrian's wall is still there today by the way you can go
98
and see hadrian's wall
99
but the hadrian's wall was built to keep out the scots to keep out the scottish people
100
because they were just too much to deal with for me
101
the funniest part of the roman period of history is
102
that most of the romans didn't really like it here
103
when they came to the uk they basically said they hate this country
104
because the weather is always miserable it's raining it's cloudy
105
and the romans also said the british people were kind of uneducated kind of stupid kind of not very sophisticated
106
that's what the romans thought of the british people when
107
when they first arrived here and for a lot of roman soldiers having to go
108
and spend time in britannia as it was called the Romans are the ones who named this place yeah
109
they called it Britannia but
110
when the Roman soldiers came here
111
it was kind of a place one of the worst places to go
112
they didn't really like coming here they would prefer to be in Italy
113
or in France you know but having to come to Britannia
114
that was kind of a bad deal for the Roman soldiers they didn't like the weather
115
and and they didn't like the British people either.
116
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
117
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
118
guys one of the best things you can do for your english if you're quite a busy person
119
and you don't have a lot of free time in the
120
day is to try to get at the minimum 30 minutes
121
of comprehensible input in english each day a lot of people
122
waste time sort of deciding what to do they sort of sit around thinking okay
123
I want to study English today should I get out a textbook should I try
124
and do some speaking practice should I read something
125
and they just sort of waste a lot of time
126
and they waste quite a lot of time just deciding what to do maybe they waste 10
127
or 15 minutes each day just sort of deciding oh what
128
should I do today to study English a lot of people
129
I think feel a bit lost in terms of what they should do right they're at the intermediate level
130
and they just don't really know what they're supposed to do to get to the next level of English.
131
A lot of intermediate learners just feel like they they're not really improving and nothing is really changing.
132
If you're an intermediate learner of English the answer is actually quite simple.
133
You need more vocabulary.
134
Most of the time what is holding you back is that you just don't know enough words.
135
Like yes you know some words you can kind of express yourself in a way
136
but you don't know that many words and that's kind of the problem
137
if you were to get a few more hundred hours of comprehensible input your level of vocabulary would increase
138
and increase and increase and all of these new words
139
that you learned with comprehensible input would be learned with the correct pronunciation
140
and in a context so that you deeply understand each new word
141
that you learn so that you deeply understand each new word and each new expression idiom phrasal verb
142
because it's been used in context and then
143
when you come to speak English you actually have a really deep understanding of all this vocabulary
144
that you've learned because you've learned them not in a dictionary not in a list of words
145
but you've actually learned them in context
146
in videos like this in comprehensible input videos and
147
when you learn vocab through comprehensible input you'll find
148
that it just gets very deep in your mind and that
149
when you speak you can sort of use it more naturally
150
and more smoothly anyway like i was saying the great thing
151
about comprehensible input is you don't really need to decide what to do every day
152
if you've got half an hour you can go straight to this youtube channel
153
or straight to english sponge .com and just start watching immediately
154
and start making the most of your time learning english and you're not really wasting time deciding what to do.
155
study english that day because it is obvious what you're going to do you're going to go
156
and get your 30 minutes minimum daily comprehensible input
157
and no time is wasted because you can go straight to the comprehensible input videos
158
and you can just start watching immediately
159
and there's no messing around sort of deciding what you should do on each day
160
so that's a really another benefit of comprehensible input i think is
161
that you you really waste no time of course on english sponge .com we have more than 900 videos now.
162
So you don't need to waste any time deciding
163
which way you're going to go to watch your comprehensible input videos or trying to find the right video for your level.
164
On EnglishSponge .com we have organized all of the videos into their correct level.
165
You know we have spent a good amount of time making sure
166
that each video is in its correct level so
167
that you know what you're getting
168
and you don't have to spend time looking around YouTube trying to find like the video
169
that feels like it's right for you anyway that's enough of that I'm gonna keep looking around
170
Bath probably for like another hour I'll look around
171
Bath a bit more and then I'll head home so let's go
172
let's take a look inside this church now I assume that the door is open so let's take a look inside.
173
Please take off your hat whilst in church.
174
so guys this is the curb down here
175
you see this this is the curb right
176
there this is called a curb there you go
177
i'm going to keep reminding you i'm going to keep reminding every video
178
that this here is called a curb i'm just going to remind you every single video from now on
179
so guys I'm just going to enjoy a nice little stroll
180
by the canal here just by this nice canal the thing with doing these travel videos is
181
that it really takes
182
it out of you you know what i mean like walking
183
around all day traveling here doing a lot of walking a lot of steps every day doing all
184
this uh walking around for the whole day
185
it really takes out of you like it's really tiring is what i'm saying it does make you feel tired
186
and by by the time i finish one of these chapel videos i do feel like quite tired
187
and like i want to go and line down and lie down
188
but what i'm saying is
189
that it really takes out of you doing these um doing these travel videos
190
so doing these travel videos it really takes out of you sometimes however
191
i really do enjoy making these kinds of videos
192
so i'm definitely going to keep doing it it gives me a good reason to go to new places
193
and and travel to places that i've been before
194
but travel around to you know random areas like this like the canal in bath
195
i don't think i've ever been here before
196
so doing these videos definitely gives me an excuse to go and go places that I wouldn't usually go
197
which is pretty cool at the same time it does take
198
it out of you doing these kind of long travel videos overall
199
Bath really is a very nice place
200
it's probably one of the nicest places in England it's just really pleasant really pleasant just to stroll around
201
Bath and just look at the georgian architecture
202
and check out the roman baths so
203
if you are going to visit the uk i would definitely recommend it's about an hour
204
and 20 minutes from london and you can take a train here
205
so it's quite a good option i think
206
if you're thinking of um of visiting the uk i I would definitely check out
207
Bath if I was you.
208
Okay, guys, thank you for watching this video of me walking around Bath today.
209
I hope you enjoyed watching me wander around this nice town.
210
Like I said, if you do like learning English with comprehensible input, on EnglishSponge .com.. we have more than 900 videos now
211
that you can watch but
212
if you would prefer to stay here on youtube
213
you can check out this playlist here where you can watch me wander around different places in the uk
214
and learn english at the same time anyway thank you for watching this video
215
and I will see you in the next one.
216

Come esercitarsi con questo video
- Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.

- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come bath, input, weir.
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.
