Hello and welcome to Real Easy English, the podcast where we have real conversations in easy English to help you learn.
2
I'm Georgie.
3
And I'm Neil.
4
And don't forget that this podcast is now available as a video on our website, so you can watch us at bbclearningenglish .com.
5
Hi Neil, how are you today?
6
Hi Georgie, I'm very well.
7
Actually, I'm really happy today because the sun is shining
8
and it's warm and it seems like it's been a long time since we had such nice sunny weather.
9
I know, the changing of the seasons is so wonderful and actually that's what we're talking about today.
10
Today we're going to talk about the seasons and the different types of weather we get in the UK.
11
Yes.
12
So, in the UK, our seasons are roughly like this.
13
So, March, April, May, those are the spring seasons.
14
Then we move into summer, which is June, July and August.
15
Autumn, that's September, October, November.
16
And then we're into winter for December, January, February.
17
Yeah, more or less, approximately.
18
Yeah.
19
So, Neil, what is your favourite season?
20
Well, you can probably guess because I'm so happy that it's spring and summer combined.
21
So anything with long late nights and evenings, I love.
22
What else is good about summer?
23
In the summer, you can be outside.
24
You can go swimming in the sea.
25
You can stay up late and you have wonderful light in the UK.
26
What's your favourite season then, Georgie?
27
Well, I'm a big fan of the seasons, the transition seasons.
28
So I really like spring and autumn, especially spring.
29
Right now we're in spring in the UK and you can see everyone looking happier because we've had a really long, hard,
30
dark, cold winter and everyone is smiling now
31
because they there are blossoms on the trees which make me
32
so happy I love seeing pink blossoms on the trees um the days are warmer and
33
that yeah there's this sense of a transition um same with autumn although you're leaving the summer months um
34
I really love the colours on the trees as well,
35
especially those cooler, crisp days when the sky is blue and the leaves are orange and brown.
36
I love that.
37
Wow, you're making me look forward to autumn and it's not even summer yet.
38
Is there a season that you don't like?
39
I do like all the seasons.
40
I like to have balance, so I wouldn't like to have summer all year round
41
but i think um winter is my least favorite
42
because of the dark days in the uk i think it's particularly hard um
43
because especially january and february it's really cold
44
and there's nothing really to get us through the the sad times
45
i know exactly what there are good things about winter
46
but mostly it's just difficult isn't it i agree it's the dark i can't stand it yeah
47
so as i said i quite like having the balance of different seasons throughout the year
48
i like to have transitions
49
and changes um what about you neil how do you feel about about
50
that yeah i think i agree i mean it would be nice to have a shorter winter
51
But I think I would still prefer to have different seasons because, like I said, I really like the late,
52
light evenings in the summer.
53
And I think even though I hate the dark winters,
54
I would really miss that if the weather was nice all year but got dark at the same time, like at six or seven o 'clock.
55
OK, let's recap the language we heard in the conversation.
56
We learned different ways to talk about the seasons.
57
For example, looking forward to.
58
That means you're excited for something to happen in the future.
59
That's right.
60
So I'm really looking forward to the warm, light, sunny evenings in the summer.
61
We heard to be a big fan of.
62
That means that you really like something.
63
For example, I'm a big fan of spring and autumn.
64
Yes, Georgie's a big fan of the transition seasons.
65
I'm not such a big fan of winter, though.
66
Actually, I can't stand it, which means that I really hate it.
67
Thanks for listening to Real Easy English.
68

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
