Hello and welcome to another episode of Elephant English Podcast.
2
Today I'm going to be talking about what I do in the evenings.
3
I'm going to be following some speaking questions
4
that you might have in your speaking exam and I'm going to answer these questions.
5
The first question is, what do you do in the evenings?
6
In the evenings I usually relax because I come home from work in the late afternoon.
7
Some things I do to relax are watch an episode of my favourite series,
8
play with my cat or do some exercise.
9
I enjoy going for a short walk around my neighbourhood
10
when the weather is nice so that I can spend some time outdoors while doing a bit of exercise.
11
I sometimes need to go grocery shopping in the evening
12
but I don't usually go to many different places in the evenings after work.
13
Question number two is, do you do the same thing every evening?
14
I usually do similar things every evening from Monday to Thursday because of work.
15
I have a routine that I normally follow every day.
16
However, my evenings are different at the weekend.
17
On Friday and Saturday evenings, I usually go out to do something different,
18
like meeting my friends or going for a drink.
19
Question number three is, do you spend your evenings with family or friends?
20
I only spend my evenings with friends at the weekend,
21
but my family often comes to visit me in the evenings from Monday to Friday.
22
When my family comes to visit, it is an informal occasion, but when my friends visit,
23
it is more of a special occasion.
24
This is why I prefer to spend time with friends only at the weekend.
25
Question number four is do you ever work in the evenings?
26
Yes, I sometimes work in the evenings.
27
When I have a lot of exams to correct, I have to do them after work.
28
I try to avoid marking activities and exams at home but sometimes there is just not enough time.
29
Question number five is what is a popular activity that young people in your country do in the evenings?
30
I think that a lot of young people in England like spending time at the gym or going for a run.
31
They enjoy these activities because it makes them feel refreshed after coming home from work.
32
Also, it is quite motivating to see how you improve every time you go for a run or go to the gym.
33
The last question is, what did you used to do in the evenings when you were a child?
34
When I was a child I used to spend my evenings doing my homework,
35
playing and looking after my pets.
36
I used to take about an hour to do my homework which I used to start at 4 o'clock.
37
After that I would play with my brother for a few hours.
38
Sometimes we played in the garden and other times we stayed inside playing lego.
39
Then we would feed all of our pets and take our dogs for a walk.
40
This would take more than an hour because we had so many animals.
41
In today's video I've talked about what I do in the evenings.
42

Grammatica in deze video
De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:
| Structuur | In de video |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + werkwoord — een vroegere gewoonte of toestand die niet meer klopt | used to do · used to spend · used to take |
| Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog telt | I've talked · have enjoyed |
| Toekomst met “going to” be going to + werkwoord — een plan of iets dat je ziet aankomen | I'm going to be · I'm going to answer |
| Verplichting: must / have to / need to zeggen dat iets nodig is | need to go · have to do |
Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 6 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'm, don't, I'll. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: refresh /ɹɪˈfɹɛʃ/, examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: neighbourhood /ˈneɪbə.hʊd/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: exam /ɪɡˈzæm/, relax /ɹɪˈlæks/, examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: exam /ɪɡˈzæm/, grocery /ˈɡɹəʊ.s(ə.)ɹi/, examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als homework, relax, motivate.
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.
