Pratica di Shadowing: My Daily Routine on Vacation | Learn Travel English for Beginners | Mr. English Podcast - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr English Channel,

where learning English is easy and fun.

I'm Emily.

And I am Paul.

It is so wonderful to be here with you today,

Emily, and with all our fantastic listeners at home.

I am so happy too, Paul.

Today we have a very relaxing and fun topic for our beginners.

Oh, I love relaxing topics.

What are we talking about today, Emily?

We are talking about our daily routine on vacation.

We will learn how to talk about our holiday habits in English.

That is an amazing topic.

When I think about vacation,

I immediately feel happy and relaxed.

Me too, Paul.

It is so different from our normal,

busy, daily routine at home.

It really is.

So Emily, let us start with the morning.

Do you wake up early on vacation?

Oh no, definitely not.

At home, I wake up at 6 in the morning,

but on vacation, I like to sleep in.

Sleep in.

That is a great phrasal verb for our listeners.

It means to sleep past your usual waking time.

Yes, exactly.

I usually sleep until 9 or 10 o'clock when I am on a trip.

What about you, Paul?

Well, it depends on the place.

If I'm near a beautiful beach,

I actually like to wake up early to see the sunrise.

Wow, really?

That is so beautiful, but it sounds like hard work for a holiday.

It is not hard work at all because the air is so fresh and calm.

But don't worry, I usually take a nap later in the day.

Ah, a nap.

A short sleep during the day, right?

Yes, exactly.

In some countries, people call it a siesta.

It is a perfect holiday habit.

That sounds much better.

So after you wake up on vacation,

what is the very first thing you do?

Well, at home, I run to the kitchen to make coffee immediately.

But on vacation, I just lay in bed for a few minutes and look out the window.

Oh, that sounds so peaceful.

I do something similar, but I usually check my phone to see the weather forecast for the day.

Oh, that is smart.

Why do you check the weather on vacation, Emily?

Well, if it is sunny,

I know I can go to the beach or walk around the city.

If it is rainy, I can plan to visit a museum or a nice café.

That makes a lot of sense.

It's always good to have a plan,

but it's also good to be flexible on vacation.

Yes, exactly.

Now, let us talk about the best part of the morning.

Let's talk about breakfast.

Oh, yes.

Hotel breakfast is my favorite thing in the whole world.

Really?

What do you like to eat for breakfast when you're traveling?

I love a big breakfast buffet.

I like to eat eggs,

pancakes, fresh fruit, and drink a big glass of orange juice.

Wow, that is a huge breakfast.

At home, you usually just have a small toast and black coffee, right?

Yes, that is true.

But on vacation, I feel like a king,

so I eat a lot more.

That is very common.

People love to try different foods when they stay at a hotel or a guesthouse.

What about you, Emily?

Do you prefer a big hotel breakfast,

or do you look for a local café?

I actually love to find a small,

local café near my accommodation.

I like to sit outside,

look at the people, and have a croissant with a nice latte.

That sounds very romantic and peaceful, Emily.

It's a great way to feel like a local person.

Yes!

To feel like a local is a beautiful expression.

It means you feel like you live in that city.

So, after breakfast, how do you usually get ready for the day?

What is your routine?

Well, I go back to my room,

brush my teeth, and put on my clothes.

But there is one thing I never forget on vacation.

Oh, let me guess.

Is it your camera?

No, guess again.

It is something for my skin.

Ah, sunscreen.

Yes, that is super important,

especially if you are walking outside all day.

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

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

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.

303

Well, everyone, we hope you learned some useful words today to talk about your vacation routine.

304

Yes.

306

go sightseeing, dress up, and recharge your batteries.

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.
