1
Hello everybody.
2
Welcome back to another episode of our This or That podcast.
3
With me, Rob.
4
And me, Dahlia, hello.
5
Hello.
6
How are you doing, Dahlia?
7
I'm very well.
8
Can't think of anything interesting as normal.
9
Terrible host.
10
Aww.
11
That's okay.
12
It's okay.
13
I have this with my students quite often where I always ask them that kind of thing.
14
Anything new?
15
Anything interesting that's happened in the last week?
16
And they're like, no. Yeah, exactly.
17
And I'm like, oh, that's okay.
18
That's...
19
To be honest, it's not like.. my life is not an exciting cavalcade of adventure and mischief.
20
Exactly.
21
So, I do have one thing though.
22
Recently, I went shooting.
23
Shooting guns.
24
Are you serious?
25
Last week it was sailing, this week it's shooting.
26
What's next week?
27
Axe throwing?
28
I have done axe throwing before, but this time it's gonna.. the one afterwards it will probably be glamping.
29
Oh, nice, nice.
30
Right.
31
So the shooting was a new place has opened in my city, where you can go to an indoor shooting range.
32
And, you know, It uses.. what we call BBs.
33
You know what BBs are?
34
Oh yes, I have been in the vicinity of teenage boys before, so I know what a BB gun is, and I know to stay well away from them. And cats.
35
They used to shoot cats as well, which is awful.
36
Cats used to shoot BB guns at you.
37
It is rough around Manchester, I tell you.
38
So don't go there everyone.
39
So how to describe ball bearing?
40
Ball bearings or BBs?
41
Teeny tiny...
42
Plastic bullets.
43
Teeny tiny...
44
is it plastic?
45
I thought it was metal.
46
No, well these are plastic.
47
Okay.
48
But because they're shot at such high speed they can really hurt you, can't they?
49
Absolutely.
50
You have to wear like eye protection the entire time.
51
I wear glasses apparently that's not eye protection.
52
Oh yeah.
53
Well, so I put another layer of glass in front of my eyes to make things better.
54
And then they are gas powered.
55
So you pick up these guns, which are replicas of real...
56
death machines and you...
57
Death machines!
58
And yeah, you shoot them and
59
when you pull the trigger to make it fire then you get a burst of like really concentrated kind of like air,
60
and that makes the BB fly really fast.
61
So I was doing shooting stuff with my wife and against my wife and by myself with a rifle and a pistol.
62
And it was wonderful.
63
Amazing.
64
I mean, I haven't done shooting, but I have done archery and I absolutely loved it.
65
It's, this is the modern version.
66
Okay.
67
The modern version of archery.
68
I have done archery.
69
I have an archery set at home, which we never use and I really should because we've got a big target.
70
We've got all the stuff we need and I love archery. So...
71
You have an archery set at home.
72
That's amazing.
73
Yeah, it's like 10 pounds from Amazon or something you can get.
74
Really?
75
Wow.
76
the end of them.
77
But when I got them for Christmas, and the whole family played with them and had so much fun.
78
Oh my god, sounds great.
79
It was great, so recommend that next time.
80
Students, if you're looking for a gift for the person who has everything, I suggest an archery set.
81
Thank you.
82
Just for it to get dusty in their loft.
83
Yes, absolutely.
84
So, today we have a this and we do also have a that.
85
The 'this' is cooking at home.
86
And the that is ordering takeout or eating out after having a long day.
87
Yeah.
88
Should we do...
89
we've come up with this new idea where we should guess what the other person is going to pick.
90
Yeah.
91
I don't think it's going to be hard.
92
No. So, do you want to guess what I would pick, Dahlia?
93
Yes, I think you would pick eating at home.
94
Absolutely not.
95
No. Really?
96
No, absolutely not, because I do that all the time.
97
So no, I picked the interesting one.
98
No, I'm just trying to be contrarian there.
99
Yeah, I cook at home almost all the time.
100
Yeah, me too.
101
Yeah, absolutely.
102
Now...
103
Stupid question.
104
Why do we always cook at home, Dahlia?
105
Why aren't we always going out for dinner or getting takeout?
106
Money, money, money.
107
That's why.
108
Money, money, money.
109
Yeah.
110
I mean, I do like eating out sometimes, of course.
111
But yeah, I have a lot to say on this topic, I think.
112
I actually don't cook as much as I used to because it just takes up so much time, even though I do love cooking.
113
And I do definitely think, of course, like when you've had a hard day, especially if you have children or something like that, or you're commuting.
114
like takeaways is just the best um but i personally don't find it
115
that convenient unless you're unless you do it habitually
116
and you've already got the app and you've already you know your card details
117
and you know what you're going to order it's fine But A, you have to choose.
118
B, you have to wait.
119
And then C, I'm obsessed with recycling, so I won't just chuck stuff away.
120
I have to rinse all that plastic stuff and put it in the recycling.
121
So I don't actually find it that much more convenient than cooking, to be honest.
122
I understand that.
123
I hadn't really thought about the convenience of cooking getting the food delivered.
124
But I made a point to...
125
to my wife before that, weirdly, going out for dinner, is actually quite a lot of work.
126
I said to her, "Okay, so we're tired and we feel like, oh God, I'm tired.
127
I don't want to do all this cooking
128
because I've got to go all the way to the fridge
129
and then I've got to get something out of the fridge
130
and then I've got to put it on the side
131
and then I've got to do it and so on and so on." But weirdly, if I say, "Do you want to walk 20 minutes
132
and then 20 minutes back to go to a restaurant and then wait and stuff like that?"
133
do that it's like the uh binging thing isn't it
134
if you say to someone um will you watch a two
135
-hour film they'd be like no no no no no i haven't got time
136
but will you watch four hours of you know episode after episode without even realizing it
137
and that's what we do same thing absolutely yeah so i think the money thing is a big thing.
138
My understanding, because I don't know Korea very well, my understanding is that it is quite a lot cheaper in Korea to get food delivered or to go out to dinner.
139
And the system's better.
140
I think in Korea they even have services where they drop off everything, everything's pre -made and you just have to kind of put it in the pot
141
and then you can leave the stuff outside your door and then they'll come and pick it up.
142
I think people don't realize how expensive it is to
143
eat out in the UK because it's not that I don't want to spend the money, like it's not that I'm
144
sometimes I think it's just not that worth it really unless it's something
145
that you really love and you know is really good quality
146
so I don't know this for certain it's just something
147
that I had heard but some uh something is that
148
if you go to a restaurant in the UK one third
149
of the money you are paying to eat the food is
150
actually paying for the food itself two thirds of the money
151
the markup uh the markup and well included within
152
that is all the costs of running the the building in
153
which the restaurant is the electricity the gas and so forth so you could very much argue, by definition, eating food out
154
in just a pure money sense of it is not worth
155
it not at all yeah it's about it's three times as
156
much as it technically should be to have the to have the food
157
but another point that some of my friends make to me about this is
158
that you're not exactly paying for the food the food's there
159
but what the real value of going to eat out is atmosphere atmosphere
160
and the opportunity to have a to have a conversation with
161
your whoever yeah socializing this is something i think about You know, I've mentioned this YouTube channel, Subway Takes, where this guy asks for people's hot takes,
162
you know, like controversial opinions.
163
Mine would be that actually, and I don't, I'm not advocating for this because obviously I love eating out,
164
who doesn't, but eating out and drinking out financially is actually pretty crazy we're
165
so used to it that I don't think we realize it
166
but it's actually kind of ridiculous just how much we pay like
167
if you actually sat down and thought about it and compared that to how much food costs in the shops it's
168
kind of ridiculous but i'm not saying we shouldn't do it because when you don't eat out ever or go out
169
It's very socially isolating.
170
This is true.
171
This is true.
172
And you could argue that, like, you know...
173
socializing with the right people is worth a huge amount.
174
The kind of thing that I like, although I don't do it very often,
175
is I much prefer the option of having friends over and cooking something at home for my friends.
176
There's obviously a lot more effort involved in that, but I like the...
177
aspect that if you're doing that at home, then you can do whatever you want.
178
Yeah.
179
You know, you can...
180
If you guys decide, okay, we're going to now go and we're going to do something else, you can't do that in the restaurant.
181
And, you know, we can be...
182
extremely loud and socially unacceptable which probably we shouldn't i do in restaurants anyway
183
but i probably shouldn't the thing i'm picturing right now i have the perfect example of this
184
when i first moved in to my flat on my own
185
obviously it was an amazing thing i was like this is incredible
186
and i had my friend over and i cooked for him
187
and i had that exact experience i just remember turning the lights off
188
and i had this i have this colored light because i love the red light at
189
different color options there's pink there's green
190
and i didn't realize there's a kind of disco option like you know it flashes different colors
191
which actually stressed me out in the end so i turned
192
that on and i'm really you know i'm really into music
193
so the music really matters to me turn the music up
194
and i could control the playlist
195
and then we started like dancing in the living room
196
and i remember saying to him that exact thing i was like god
197
if we were in a restaurant we couldn't do this
198
and it was such a great feeling i was like we
199
can just do whatever we want here however you know what night as well.
200
Stayed up till 2am doing the washing up.
201
Life has its ups and downs, you know.
202
Because I made this really elaborate meal, which was amazing, of course.
203
We had all these different dishes and it was great.
204
And I was literally up till 2am doing the washing up.
205
And I said to myself, never again.
206
Well, I mean, That is true.
207
I mean, the thing that I kind of skipped over a little bit in my idea of having friends over is,
208
yeah, you have to clean the whole house and you have to do all the washing up afterwards and...
209
and all of those things.
210
Whereas if I go out to dinner, obviously I don't have to think about any of that.
211
Yeah, exactly.
212
And you know, when you, other people make food often it's much better than what you can do.
213
Like I can't, I don't have a clay, you know, pizza oven.
214
I can't make Italian pizza.
215
This is true.
216
So sometimes it is worth it.
217
I guess so.
218
I guess so.
219
I mean, I think I'm right in saying
220
I had a student the other day who said they're not drawn to food at all.
221
Like they really don't care like whether something is tasty or not.
222
I can relate to it a small amount.
223
I do get it.
224
Some people, it's just a practical, it's just a means to an end like survival.
225
Yes, absolutely.
226
So sometimes I feel a little bit like that.
227
And maybe for that reason, it's much easier for me to be like, oh, I don't feel like, oh, I really, really need to go out for food.
228
And, you know, I want this food so much, so I'm going to go out and get it.
229
I don't often feel that way.
230
Sometimes you just got to eat, even if it's not the right food, even if it's not that nice, even if it's yesterday's leftovers.
231
But I did hear a great tip with leftovers, because, you know, leftovers are always the thing, right?
232
We know we should eat them because it's sensible and I never waste food.
233
So I heard a good tip that with leftovers, you should try and make it into a another meal, make it into something else.
234
Yes.
235
Which is, makes it feel like a different thing.
236
But then you have to be careful, because then when you add things to it, you then can't eat all of that.
237
And then you have leftovers, and it's, you have this, like, eternal, endless leftovers.
238
That's happened to me.
239
I don't know what to do about that.
240
I just eat the leftovers as they are.
241
I just heat it up and eat it.
242
Yeah, I do that too sometimes.
243
You gotta do it.
244
I don't know.
245
I mean, just as a bit of a guide, maybe this is useful.
246
I don't know if it's similar.
247
in Korea or not, but I kind of figured out when I used to live in China that on average, going out to dinner in the UK was about 10 times as expensive.
248
as going out and having food.
249
Yeah, it's crazy.
250
Yeah.
251
So when people here are always really expensive to go out and get food in the UK,
252
that's a little bit of a guide to how expensive we're actually talking about.
253
Yeah.
254
And I find it, to be honest, sometimes it really affects me because there are multiple times when I'm out and I do try to be really organized.
255
Like I do try to take a sandwich if I know I'm going to get on the bus or whatever.
256
But like this time, I just went on a long trip
257
and I just didn't have time to be as organized as I would like because I went on
258
And there's just sometimes nothing to eat.
259
Like you just, you have to go to Greg's, which is like a little takeaway place, but the food is all, it's quite expensive.
260
Even a sandwich is four pounds and it's not that healthy.
261
Like it's sausage rolls and pizzas and there's nothing really else to eat apart from sandwiches.
262
And it's just very impractical sometimes.
263
It's like either go out for a 35 quid meal or eat a sausage roll.
264
Absolutely, there's very little in between.
265
Okay.
266
So, we've complained a good amount about eating out, which is good.
267
So, this time we both picked the same one, which is cooking at home.
268
So, interestingly, I wonder whether our students would pick the same.
269
I'm not sure they would.
270
Probably not.
271
Yeah, probably not.
272
We would love to hear in the comments which you would pick
273
and why going out to eat food is way better than cooking at home.
274
Absolutely.
275
I hope everyone listening is having a wonderful day, and we will see you in the next episode.
276
Take care.
277
Ta -ra.
278

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?
Praticare l'inglese parlato attraverso contenuti autentici come i podcast è estremamente benefico per gli studenti. In questo episodio, Rob e Dahlia discutono di situazioni quotidiane, come la scelta tra cucinare a casa e ordinare cibo da asporto. Questo contesto non solo rende l'apprendimento più interessante, ma fornisce anche un'opportunità per ascoltare inglese colloquiale e naturale. Utilizzando tecniche come il shadow speech, gli studenti possono migliorare la loro pronuncia e fluidità imitandoli mentre parlano.
Grammatica ed espressioni in contesto
Nell'episodio, emergono diverse strutture grammaticali e espressioni chiave. Ecco alcune delle più utili:
- Domande retoriche: Rob chiede “Anything new? Anything interesting?” per coinvolgere Dahlia. Questo tipo di domanda è spesso usato per stimolare conversazioni.
- Espressioni colloquiali: Frasi come “my life is not an exciting cavalcade of adventure” mostrano come gli anglofoni esprimano umorismo e modestia rispetto alla propria vita.
- Utilizzo di verbi al gerundio: Frasi come “I went shooting” aiutano a capire come si possa descrivere un’attività recente in modo semplice e diretto.
Praticare queste strutture in un contesto di shadowing in inglese può rendere l'apprendimento più efficace.
Trappole di pronuncia comuni
Durante l’ascolto del podcast, ci sono alcune parole e suoni che potrebbero risultare complicati. Ecco alcuni esempi:
- Shooting: La pronuncia può confondere poiché potrebbe essere associata a diversi contesti. Assicurati di enfatizzare la "sh" iniziale.
- Exciting: Presta attenzione alla pronuncia della "c" e della "t" in contesti rapidi; potrebbe essere pronunciata più velocemente, rendendola difficile da seguire.
- Axe throwing: Il suono "th" in "throwing" può essere una sfida; esercitati a produrre questo suono usando il palato.
Per migliorare ulteriormente, prova a utilizzare il nostro shadowing site dedicato a queste pratiche, che ti guiderà nel tuo percorso per imparare l'inglese con YouTube.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + verbo — un’abitudine o uno stato passato che non è più vero | used to shoot · used to live |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | have done · has opened · have been |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | well, which is · guns, which are · person who has |
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.
