Hi there. Today we’re learning English while I walk along a country trail that goes past horses, vineyards and orchards in Australia If you're new to learning English and want to see more about life in Australia, maybe you're planning to travel here, are studying here, or will move here for work, this video series will help you understand everyday English while exploring real places around Melbourne and Australia.

4
Okay, let's go for a walk.
5
Today I'm driving about an hour out of Melbourne to walk along a nature trail.
6
In Australia, we drive on the left hand side of the road.
7
The cars coming towards me are driving on the right side of the road.
8
I've arrived at the trail and over here I can see a bike pump.
9
This trail is popular for bike riding as well as walking.
10
People use this pump to inflate their tires, which means to put air into the bike tires.
11
Nearby, I can see a bright pink bike.
12
It's completely painted pink.
13
It looks like it's part of a display.
14
Today I'm walking along the trail, not riding a bike.
15
I'm starting the walk by following this wide path.
16
Over there are some large mounds of dirt.
17
They've been shaped into jumps for bike riders.
18
It's a place where people can practice jumping, turning and riding their mountain bikes.
19
Let's walk into the forest along this path.
20
The trail is lined with tall, thin trees.
21
Lined means that the trees are standing along both sides of the path.
22
The trail is wide and flat, so it's an easy walk.
23
It's very quiet right now.
24
I can hear birds chirping in the trees.
25
Now the path has become narrower.
26
It's not as wide as it was before.
27
If we look down, we can see green grass, clover and small light purple flowers covering the ground.
28
If we look up, we can see a thin strip of blue sky between the trees.
29
The trees are starting to cover more of the sky.
30
There's more shade underneath, but we'll see less blue sky.
31
The path is wide again now and the trees are more spread out.
32
They're casting long shadows across the ground.
33
These trees have thick, textured bark.
34
The bark on this tree looks rough and bumpy.
35
Tree bark is the hard outside layer that protects the tree.
36
This looks like the back of someone's property.
37
‘Property’ can mean any building or land that someone owns.
38
But in Australia, we sometimes call a house with a large piece of land out in the country a property.
39
It's not quite a farm, but it's much bigger than a normal backyard.
40
Here some new trees have been planted.
41
They're very small and still growing.
42
It seems like they've only just been planted.
43
They have green covers wrapped around them to protect them from animals and the wind.
44
These will protect the tree as it starts to grow.
45
Hopefully these small trees will one day grow into tall trees like the others that are around here.
46
This is the back of another property.
47
There's a gate so the owner can walk directly onto the trail.
48
Over there I can see big stacks of firewood.
49
Firewood is wood that people burn in a fire to keep warm.
50
They've chopped it to store for later.
51
In this paddock I can see three horses.
52
One white horse is standing in the shade.
53
Two brown horses are standing in the sun.
54
They're eating grass calmly and moving slowly.
55
This tree here is a very well known Australian plant.
56
Do you know what it's called?
57
It's called a wattle tree.
58
The yellow flowers look like soft fuzzy balls.
59
Wattle is Australia's national flower.
60
That's also why Australian sports teams often wear green and gold.
61
I can see something else through the trees.
62
Can you see what's on the other side of the path?
63
Let's walk over and have a look.
64
There are rows of trees planted neatly in lines.
65
It's an orchard.
66
an orchard is a place where people grow fruit trees.
67
The trees are organized and evenly spaced.
68
Let's have a look at the flowers that are blooming on these trees to see what kind of fruit they're growing.
69
The trees have small white and pink flowers on them.
70
These look like apple blossoms.
71
Loads of little white apple blossoms have bloomed Soon they'll have grown heaps of apples.
72
In Australia, we often say ‘loads’ or ‘heaps’ instead of ‘a lot’ or ‘many’.
73
There are loads of flowers.
74
They'll grow heaps of apples.
75
Have you ever grown fruit or vegetables?
76
Perhaps you live on a farm or a property like this?
77
Or maybe you've grown something small in your backyard or on your balcony.
78
Let's keep walking and see what else we can find.
79
The path is wide again, with trees forming green walls on both sides.
80
A family on bikes is riding towards me.
81
They're wearing helmets and pedaling their bikes up the path.
82
We said hello to each other as they passed.
83
Here are more flowers along the path.
84
They're different from wattle, but they look a little similar.
85
They both look soft and fluffy.
86
To continue, I need to walk through this gate.
87
There's a sign showing I'm at the halfway point.
88
I've walked 3 kilometres so far.
89
I only have 2.7 kilometres to go.
90
When I finish, I'll need to walk all the way back to my car at the start of the trail.
91
This next part of the trail goes uphill.
92
there's a slight incline, which means that the ground slowly goes up.
93
Can you see the angle of the hill?
94
It's not steep, but I can feel it in my legs.
95
Next to the trail is another property.
96
This one looks like a vineyard.
97
A vineyard is where grapes are grown to make wine.
98
The grapes grow on these vines, and then they're picked and turned into wine.
99
They look quite small, so they must just be starting to grow.
100
This part of the trail is covered in grass.
101
There are two thin lines in the path for bikes to ride back and forth.
102
A tree has fallen near the fence.
103
It's lying on the ground with no leaves.
104
Only the trunk, branches and small twigs are left.
105
This tree might have fallen because of strong winds that blew it over.
106
I can hear the family on their bikes coming up behind me.
107
The dad is pointing at some cows in the paddock.
108
I almost missed them.
109
They're tucked away behind these trees.
110
The cows are sitting quietly in the shade.
111
They're a little hard to see in the shadows, but the cows have big horns and thick fur.
112
They look calm and relaxed.
113
I kept looking around, but there weren't any more cows in the next paddock.
114
A paddock is a large fenced area where animals like cows or horses live.
115
I'll keep walking.
116
The sun is bright now and I can see my shadow on the grass.
117
Through the trees I can see open fields and rolling land.
118
What a lovely day.
119
When I walk through this gate, I’ll almost be at the end of the trail.
120
There's a soccer pitch here.
121
This is where teams can play soccer.
122
There are nets at each end of the ground and a bench in the middle to watch the game from.
123
The last section of the trail is next to an equestrian club.
124
An equestrian club is where you ride horses.
125
I think these are some of the obstacles that the horses can jump over.
126
I've made it to the end of the trail.
127
Now I have to walk the whole way back because I parked my car at the other end.
128
But before I head back, I'll have a sip of water from my drink bottle and I'm going to eat this punnet of fresh blackberries.
129
Thanks for walking with me today.
130

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
