1
Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr English Channel,
2
where learning English is easy and fun.
3
I'm Emily.
4
And I am Paul.
5
It is so wonderful to be here with you today,
6
Emily, and with all our fantastic listeners at home.
7
I am so happy too, Paul.
8
Today we have a very relaxing and fun topic for our beginners.
9
Oh, I love relaxing topics.
10
What are we talking about today, Emily?
11
We are talking about our daily routine on vacation.
12
We will learn how to talk about our holiday habits in English.
13
That is an amazing topic.
14
When I think about vacation,
15
I immediately feel happy and relaxed.
16
Me too, Paul.
17
It is so different from our normal,
18
busy, daily routine at home.
19
It really is.
20
So Emily, let us start with the morning.
21
Do you wake up early on vacation?
22
Oh no, definitely not.
23
At home, I wake up at 6 in the morning,
24
but on vacation, I like to sleep in.
25
Sleep in.
26
That is a great phrasal verb for our listeners.
27
It means to sleep past your usual waking time.
28
Yes, exactly.
29
I usually sleep until 9 or 10 o'clock when I am on a trip.
30
What about you, Paul?
31
Well, it depends on the place.
32
If I'm near a beautiful beach,
33
I actually like to wake up early to see the sunrise.
34
Wow, really?
35
That is so beautiful, but it sounds like hard work for a holiday.
36
It is not hard work at all because the air is so fresh and calm.
37
But don't worry, I usually take a nap later in the day.
38
Ah, a nap.
39
A short sleep during the day, right?
40
Yes, exactly.
41
In some countries, people call it a siesta.
42
It is a perfect holiday habit.
43
That sounds much better.
44
So after you wake up on vacation,
45
what is the very first thing you do?
46
Well, at home, I run to the kitchen to make coffee immediately.
47
But on vacation, I just lay in bed for a few minutes and look out the window.
48
Oh, that sounds so peaceful.
49
I do something similar, but I usually check my phone to see the weather forecast for the day.
50
Oh, that is smart.
51
Why do you check the weather on vacation, Emily?
52
Well, if it is sunny,
53
I know I can go to the beach or walk around the city.
54
If it is rainy, I can plan to visit a museum or a nice café.
55
That makes a lot of sense.
56
It's always good to have a plan,
57
but it's also good to be flexible on vacation.
58
Yes, exactly.
59
Now, let us talk about the best part of the morning.
60
Let's talk about breakfast.
61
Oh, yes.
62
Hotel breakfast is my favorite thing in the whole world.
63
Really?
64
What do you like to eat for breakfast when you're traveling?
65
I love a big breakfast buffet.
66
I like to eat eggs,
67
pancakes, fresh fruit, and drink a big glass of orange juice.
68
Wow, that is a huge breakfast.
69
At home, you usually just have a small toast and black coffee, right?
70
Yes, that is true.
71
But on vacation, I feel like a king,
72
so I eat a lot more.
73
That is very common.
74
People love to try different foods when they stay at a hotel or a guesthouse.
75
What about you, Emily?
76
Do you prefer a big hotel breakfast,
77
or do you look for a local café?
78
I actually love to find a small,
79
local café near my accommodation.
80
I like to sit outside,
81
look at the people, and have a croissant with a nice latte.
82
That sounds very romantic and peaceful, Emily.
83
It's a great way to feel like a local person.
84
Yes!
85
To feel like a local is a beautiful expression.
86
It means you feel like you live in that city.
87
So, after breakfast, how do you usually get ready for the day?
88
What is your routine?
89
Well, I go back to my room,
90
brush my teeth, and put on my clothes.
91
But there is one thing I never forget on vacation.
92
Oh, let me guess.
93
Is it your camera?
94
No, guess again.
95
It is something for my skin.
96
Ah, sunscreen.
97
Yes, that is super important,
98
especially if you are walking outside all day.
99
Yes, exactly.
100
I put on a lot of sunscreen and I always pack my bag with a bottle of water and my sunglasses.
101
Good job.
102
Packing a small bag for the day is essential.
103
I always pack my wallet,
104
my phone, and a portable charger.
105
A portable charger is a lifesaver.
106
Why do you need it so much on vacation, Paul?
107
Because I take so many photos and use map apps to find my way.
108
My phone battery always dies very quickly.
109
That happens to me too.
110
Using maps on our phones uses a lot of energy.
111
It really does.
112
So, when you leave your hotel room,
113
do you prefer a very active day or a slow day?
114
I like a mix of both.
115
In the morning, when I have more energy,
116
I like to go sightseeing and visit popular places.
117
Go sightseeing is another excellent phrase.
118
Can you explain what it means for our beginners?
119
Of course.
120
To go sightseeing means to visit the famous and interesting places in a town or city,
121
like monuments or parks.
122
Great explanation.
123
For example, if you visit Paris,
124
you go sightseeing to see the Eiffel Tower.
125
Yes, exactly.
126
I love walking around old streets and taking pictures of old buildings.
127
That sounds nice.
128
I like sightseeing too, but I prefer to do it on a bicycle.
129
Oh, wow!
130
Do you rent a bicycle when you travel to a new city?
131
Yes, I do.
132
It is very easy to rent a bicycle in many cities now.
133
It is faster than walking and you can see a lot of things.
134
But isn't it dangerous if you don't know the streets, Paul?
135
I think I would be a bit scared.
136
It can be a bit scary at first,
137
but many cities have special paths for bicycles.
138
You just need to be careful and go slowly.
139
That is true.
140
It is a very active holiday habit.
141
I think I prefer walking because I can stop whenever I want.
142
That is the beauty of a vacation, Emily.
143
Everyone can choose their own perfect routine.
144
Yes, that is so true.
145
Hey, Paul, look at the time.
146
I think it is time for a quick break to talk to our wonderful viewers.
147
Oh, yes.
148
Let us do that.
149
If you are enjoying this conversation,
150
don't forget to like the video,
151
subscribe to the channel and share it with a friend who is learning English.
152
Yes, please.
153
And we also have a fun question for you today.
154
If you are still listening, comment VACATION below.
155
That is a great word!
156
We love reading your comments,
157
so please write it down below.
158
Awesome.
159
Now, let us go back to our vacation routine.
160
What happens after a long morning of walking or riding a bicycle?
161
Well, around 1 or 2 in the afternoon,
162
I start to feel very hungry.
163
It is time for lunch.
164
Oh, lunchtime was fantastic.
165
Do you like to go to expensive restaurants,
166
or do you prefer simple food on vacation?
167
I prefer simple, traditional food.
168
I like to go to small restaurants where local families eat,
169
because the food is usually authentic and delicious.
170
Wow, I agree completely.
171
Authentic food is the best.
172
It means the real, traditional food of that country or region.
173
Exactly.
174
For example, if I am in Italy,
175
I want real Italian pasta, not fast food.
176
What about you, Paul?
177
I love trying street food.
178
It is fast, cheap, and often very tasty.
179
You can buy it, and eat it in a nice park.
180
Eating in a park sounds lovely.
181
It's like a small picnic during your holiday daily routine.
182
Yes, it is.
183
And after lunch, my favorite vacation habit begins.
184
It is time to relax and rest.
185
Ah, do you go back to your hotel room to rest,
186
or do you stay outside?
187
If it is a very hot day,
188
I definitely go back to my room.
189
I turn on the air conditioning,
190
lay down and take a short nap.
191
I knew it.
192
You love your afternoon naps on vacation, Paul.
193
I really do.
194
It recharges my batteries.
195
After 30 minutes of sleep,
196
I feel fresh and ready for the evening.
197
To recharge my batteries is a fantastic idiom.
198
It means to get your energy back after working or walking a lot.
199
Yes, exactly.
200
What do you do in the afternoon to recharge your batteries,
201
Emily, if you don't sleep?
202
I usually find a quiet spot,
203
like a bench in a park or a chair by the hotel pool.
204
Then I read a good book for an hour.
205
Oh, that sounds very peaceful, too.
206
Reading on vacation is so nice because you don't have to look at a clock or worry about time.
207
Yes, that is the best feeling.
208
There is no stress and no hurry.
209
is slow and calm.
210
So after your reading time or my nap,
211
the afternoon is ending, what do we do next in our travel routine?
212
Well, around five or six in the evening,
213
the sun starts to go down.
214
I love to find a good place to watch the sunset.
215
Oh, watching the sunset is magical,
216
especially if you are at the beach.
217
The colours in the sky are always so beautiful.
218
Yes, it is the perfect moment to take beautiful photos to remember the trip later.
219
Definitely.
220
Many people also like to have a cold drink while they watch the sunset.
221
It is a very popular holiday habit.
222
That is true.
223
It is a nice transition from the day routine to the evening routine.
224
Do you change your clothes for the evening, Paul?
225
Yes, usually.
226
I go back to the hotel,
227
take a refreshing shower, and dress up a little bit for dinner.
228
Oh, dress up.
229
That means to wear nicer or more formal clothes than usual.
230
Yes, exactly.
231
I put on a nice shirt instead of a casual T-shirt.
232
It makes the evening feel special.
233
I agree.
234
I like to wear a nice dress in the evening.
235
Then we go out to find a place for dinner.
236
Dinner on vacation usually happens later than dinner at home, right?
237
Yes, that is very common.
238
At home, people often eat dinner at 6 or 7,
239
but on vacation, people often eat at 8 or 9 in the evening.
240
Yes, and dinner lasts a long time,
241
because nobody is rushing to go to sleep or get ready for work the next day.
242
Exactly.
243
You can sit, eat slowly,
244
talk with your friends or family,
245
and just enjoy the atmosphere of the night.
246
Atmosphere is a great word it means the feeling
247
or mood of a place a restaurant can have a warm
248
or romantic atmosphere yes exactly after dinner I love to take
249
a slow walk around the city before going back to the hotel oh a night walk is wonderful
250
The buildings are often illuminated with beautiful lights and the air is cooler.
251
It is very nice.
252
But tell me, Paul, do you ever go to bars or clubs at night when you are on holiday?
253
Sometimes, if I'm traveling with a group of friends,
254
we might go to a place with live music and stay out late.
255
Oh, if I stay out too late,
256
I feel very tired the next day.
257
I prefer to be in bed by 11 o'clock.
258
That is fine, too.
259
The best thing about vacation is that there are no rules.
260
You can do whatever makes you happy.
261
Yes, that is completely true.
262
Speaking of doing things that make us happy,
263
we have a wonderful group of people who love to practice English together.
264
Oh, yes.
265

278
Now, Paul, let us talk about the end of the day on vacation.
279
The bedtime routine.
280
Is your bedtime routine on vacation different from your routine at home, Emily?
281
A little bit, yes.
282
At home, I usually watch television before bed,
283
but on vacation, I like to write in my travel journal.
284
Wow, a travel journal.
285
Do you write down everything you did during the day?
286
Yes, I write about the places I visited,
287
the food I ate, and how I felt.
288
It helps me remember the happy moments forever.
289
That is a beautiful habit, Emily.
290
I don't write in a journal,
291
but I like to look at the photos I took during the day on my phone.
292
That is a great way to reflect on the day, too.
293
It makes you feel grateful for the holiday.
294
Yes, it really does.
295
And then I turn off the lights and fall asleep very quickly,
296
because walking all day makes me tired.
297
Yes, physical fatigue from walking is a good kind of tired.
298
You sleep very deeply on vacation.
299
Absolutely.
300
And then, the next morning,
301
the fun routine starts all over again in a new and exciting way.
302
It is the best feeling.

Consigli per la Pratica
Per shadow speak efficacemente mentre ascolti il video, ti consiglio di seguire questi passaggi: ascolta attentamente le frasi pronunciate da Paul ed Emily e prova a ripeterle subito dopo. Devi prestare attenzione alla loro intonazione e ritmo. Considera che il loro modo di parlare è rilassato e chiaro, il che rende più facile shadowing in inglese. Non avere fretta; meglio fare pratica lentamente per imparare l'inglese con youtube e ottenere una pronuncia chiara. Inoltre, puoi fare delle pause per riflettere sulle nuove parole e tentare di usarle in frasi proprie. Se un termine ti sembra difficile, ripetilo diverse volte fino a quando non ti senti a tuo agio. Ricorda che la pratica rende perfetti: più ti eserciti, più migliorerai la tua fluidità e pronuncia!
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.
