Did you pick up one of the three maps?

3つの地図のうち1つを手に取りましたか？

No, did you?

Never mind, we'll get one when we get off.

I'll have to sit down now, because the usses go.

Have you ever seen the Hollywood movie The Fast and the Furious?

Yes, a long time ago.

Well this is where they shot it.

My brother's just said it's gonna rain, so we should go inside.

We call that being a wuss.

Today you're coming with me on one of these Liverpool City Sites bus

so that you can hear real natural English as we travel around the city.

Let's do this!

Because the nice people at City Sites have given us free tickets, I've decided to bring some family with me.

Let me introduce you.

This is my sister-in-law, Janice.

Hi.

So sister-in-law means she's married to my brother and unfortunately he's had to come too.

This is John.

Hi, I'm the good looking one.

People say we look alike, I can't see it.

Let me know in the comments if you think we look alike.

And also we've got Auntie Jackie.

Say hi Auntie Jackie.

Hi.

There you go.

Now let's get on the bus.

This is a double-decker bus and the best view is from the top deck.

So let's just climb up these steps.

So we've managed to snag the back seat.

When I was a kid, the back seat was reserved for the cool kids.

So that must mean we're all cool.

Maybe not.

Our first stop is the cruise terminal.

where we take on tourists who've arrived here by cruise liner.

And this one, as you can see, is mind-bogglingly huge.

Here come more passengers for the bus.

So up here on the top deck will soon be packed.

We don't have an actual guide on the bus with us, but there's a very good commentary which comes out of these speakers,

which will tell us all about what we're seeing.

If you would like to alight at any point during the tour, please notify the driver by using the button.

Did you hear that word?

Alight.

The very formal way of saying, get off.

What on earth is that?

It's a brand new statue.

I think it's only here for a short while. Where are they going?

So those people are getting off because this is called a hop on, hop off bus.

Which means you can get on when you want, get off when you like as well.

Really good.

Hop on, hop off.

It's great seeing things from the top of a bus as you see them from a different point of view.

Just pulling up outside this small street, where the most famous pop band ever, The Beatles, performed, ages ago.

And this building is a Beatles-themed hotel.

Have you ever stayed there?

Yes, only once.

It was fantastic.

Chock a block with the band's memorabilia.

Another quick stop for passengers to get off.

And more to get on.

The lady in front is taking a snap with her phone.

Now we're heading down a street where there used to be an old castle.

You can find out all about it in a video I made.

There's a full free guide to all the vocabulary that I've used today.

They're yours by just clicking the link in the description.

Check out this ornate white building.

It used to be Liverpool's main post office.

I'm old enough to remember buying stamps here.

I'm happy to say that I don't because as you know I'm a spring chicken.

But a few years back it was converted to a proper high-end shopping spot, complete with one of the best cinemas in the city.

At the roundabout, look to your left and you will see the entrance to the Queensway or Mersey Tunnel.

Have you ever seen the Hollywood movie The Fast and the Furious?

Yes, a long time ago.

Well, this is where they shot it.

I'm flabbergasted.

This museum has no admission fee.

You can't say further than that.

I know.

It's such a good day out.

This is the library.

Have you ever been in there?

No, the outside looks beautiful though.

Trust me, the inside will blow your mind.

The front is space age.

At the back, well, it's like something out of Harry Potter.

I'll have to give it a go.

You'll never guess what this lovely park used to be.

Go on then.

It was a pauper's grave.

Really?

Where poor people were buried?

So now, underneath all that grass, are thousands of dead bodies.

Oh my god, I've eaten my sandwiches in there.

Considered to be the greatest neoclassical building in Europe.

I was chatting to my friend in Japan the other day, and she couldn't believe that most people in this country don't have air conditioning.

I don't know anyone who does.

And yet this old building was the first in the world to have it.

You're just full of trivia.

I always think it's a shame about this hotel.

It used to be one of the best in the world, and now it's gone right down the pan.

100

I know.

101

Hopefully they'll refurbish it.

102

Did you pick up one of the three maps?

103

No, did you?

104

Never mind.

105

We'll get one when we get off.

106

My brother's just said it's going to rain, so we should go inside.

107

We call that being a wuss.

108

In other words, not very brave.

109

It's hardly spitting.

110

It's known locally as Paddy's Wigwam due to its shape with a tall central tower known as a lantern.

111

The original design by Sir Edmund Lutjim...

112

It's incredibly ornate inside an house with grade one listed urinals made of pink marble.

113

Did you catch what he said about this pub?

114

Yeah, it's famous for having very elaborate blues.

115

Then we'll definitely have to pop in and spend a penny in there.

116

These scooters are everywhere.

117

Do you not fancy bobbing around on one?

118

Not likely.

119

I'd probably break my neck.

120

I'm not religious, but this cathedral is very impressive.

121

One of the biggest in the world, I'm told.

122

Now we're turning into a street that's full of doctor's surgeries.

123

I wish I could afford to come here.

124

Me too.

125

Here's the bombed out church.

126

Hard to believe that a bomb fell onto it during the war and it's still standing.

127

I come here some weekends because they have a market in the grounds.

128

Looks like there's something going on today as well.

129

In the grounds of St Luke's you can see the truce statue officially called all together now.

130

Oh that's right.

131

So behind me is one of the busiest streets in the whole of Liverpool.

132

It's called Bold Street.

133

I'll have to sit down now because the buses go.

134

What's all this?

135

It looks like they're filming something.

136

It looks like something retro.

137

then you can guarantee it'll be about the Beatles.

138

Don't you live around here?

139

Yes, just down that road.

140

Ah, the River Mersey.

141

It looks lovely now the sun's come out.

142

Indeed it does.

143

I think we're just about back now.

144

How long was that?

145

Nearly an hour in total.

146

Let's hop off and get a spot of lunch.

147

That sounds like a plan.

148

So what did you think?

149

I think it's fair to say we've all had a great time.

150

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。
