1
In today's video we are going to talk about transport.
2
The first question is What transport do you usually use?
3
I usually use my car to go to work.
4
It is very far so I can't ride my bike to work
5
and it rains often in England so it's dangerous to use a motorbike.
6
How often do you use public transport?
7
I use public transport when I go on holiday or when I visit a city in England.
8
I live in the countryside in England, so there aren't a lot of buses or trains.
9
And, of course, there isn't an underground.
10
How often do you take a taxi?
11
I take a taxi when I go on holiday.
12
I live in the countryside, so when I need to go to the airport,
13
I have to take a taxi.
14
It normally costs about £60.
15
It's very expensive, but it's cheaper than parking my car at the airport,
16
especially if I go on holiday for two weeks.
17
I don't like to take a taxi because it's very expensive,
18
so if I can, I ask my family or my friends to take me to the airport.
19
What is your favourite form of transport and why?
20
My favourite form of transport is a train.
21
You can travel short and long distances on a train and it's very comfortable.
22
When you go on an aeroplane you need to go to the airport,
23
go through security and it's more stressful.
24
But on a train, the journey is comfortable,
25
you don't have to prepare for the travel so much and you can travel long distances quite quickly.
26
For example, I can travel to London by train and it takes about two or three hours.
27
Have you ever ridden a motorcycle or motorbike?
28
No, I haven't.
29
I don't think that I would like to ride a motorbike.
30
I think that cars are safer and I am scared of falling off the motorbike.
31
Have you ever ridden a horse or a camel?
32
I have ridden a camel when I was on holiday, not in England.
33
But I have ridden a horse in England.
34
There are quite a lot of horses in this country, and a lot of horse riding schools,
35
but it is quite expensive to ride a horse,
36
so I don't do it very often.
37
What makes of car a popular in your country?
38
I think that the most popular brands are Audi,
39
BMW, Ford, Mini, Mercedes, Land Rovers,
40
but you also see Honda, Tesla, Jaguar, Nissan.
41
There are some British car brands that you don't see often,
42
for example Bentley, Aston Martin or Jaguar because they are very expensive,
43
but you often see Mini and Land Rovers.
44
What do you think is the safest kind of transport and why?
45
Well, people always say that planes are the safest kind of transport.
46
There are thousands of flights every day around the world and there are not many accidents.
47
So this is a reason why I think it's the safest kind of transport.
48
Although when I'm travelling on a plane, I don't feel like it is.
49
I get quite nervous and a little bit scared when the plane takes off.
50
I think this is quite common.
51
There are a lot of people who are scared of flying,
52
but not a lot of people who are scared of getting in a car,
53
or in a taxi, or on a train.
54
So it's not just me.
55
Is petrol expensive where you live?
56
Yes, petrol is quite expensive where I live.
57
At the moment the petrol costs £1.57 per litre.
58
That's £1.79 in euros.
59
How can we use less petrol?
60
Well, I think that it's difficult to use less petrol if you have to go to work.
61
If you work from home, then obviously you don't use so much.
62
But if you have to go to work and you don't have the option of using public transport,
63
then it's quite hard.
64
If you live in a city and you can use the underground or a train or a bus,
65
then it's easier.
66
There are more and more electric cars on the road as well,
67
so they use less petrol, but the problem is that they are very expensive.
68
So the people that don't have enough money to buy an electric car can't reduce the amount of petrol that they use.
69
For example, in my case, I live in the countryside and I have to drive to work,
70
but electric cars are too expensive for me to buy.
71
Have you ever been on a boat?
72
Yes, I have been on small boats and on ferries,
73
but I have never been on a cruise ship.
74
I would love to go on holiday on a cruise
75
because you can visit different countries and also you can do many fun things on the ship.
76
Like swimming in the pool, watching shows in the evenings,
77
practicing different types of sports and just relaxing.
78
I like to watch videos of cruise ships on YouTube because the new modern cruise ships are amazing.
79
They have so many things to do and I don't know
80
if you would have time to do all of the things that they offer in just one week.
81

Imparerai a rispondere a domande comuni su come ti sposti, quali mezzi di trasporto utilizzi abitualmente e quale consideri il più sicuro.

Consigli per la pratica

Per massimizzare i benefici di questa lezione, ti incoraggio a provare shadowspeak, una tecnica molto efficace per migliorare la pronuncia inglese. Puoi ascoltare l'audio e ripetere subito dopo, cercando di imitare non solo le parole, ma anche il tono e il ritmo del parlante. Questa tecnica di shadowing in inglese è particolarmente utile per familiarizzarti con l'accento e le intonazioni naturalistiche. Poiché il video ha un ritmo moderato, cerca di mantenere il tuo shadow speech fluido e senza interruzioni, proprio come nel dialogo originale.

Inizia con frasi brevi e, man mano che ti senti più sicuro, passa a frasi più lunghe e complesse. Non preoccuparti se inizialmente non riesci a seguire perfettamente; la pratica costante ti aiuterà a migliorare nomevolmente. Usa un registratore per riascoltare la tua voce e confrontarla con l'originale, in modo da poter identificare aree di miglioramento. Infine, cerca di integrarti anche nel contesto di queste conversazioni praticando con amici o in gruppi di studio, in modo da esercitarti nel parlare dell'argomento trasporto in una conversazione reale.

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.
