Hello everyone and welcome back to English Cozy Chat.

I am Maria and yesterday I went to the beach.

And today I'm going to tell you all about it.

So first off, I have not washed my hair since I went to the beach yesterday.

And this is something that we call beach hair when it's a little bit wavy and kind of has more volume.

I always really like beach hair and I like to enjoy it the day after that I go to the beach.

Yep.

So yesterday before I left for the beach, I had to pack my beach bag.

And the first thing I put in my bag was sunscreen along with my sunglasses.

I don't really always wear sunglasses, but I like to have them with me.

Also my goggles.

I really love to swim in the sea.

And you can just not go to the beach without some snacks.

Yesterday, I brought some little crackers called palitos in Spanish.

Lastly, I am bringing my hat.

Like I said, I love wearing hats.

For some reason, I really hate it when the sun beats down on my face.

It just makes me really hot.

And I feel so much more comfortable when I'm wearing a hat.

I actually have it here too.

Should I wear it now?

Eh, maybe.

So then I was ready to go.

I had my beach bag, my hat, everything that I needed,

and I just got in my car and headed to the beach.

It doesn't take me very long to get to the beach.

So I parked my car and just started walking to the beach.

I was really excited to get there.

so then I got there at the entrance of the beach

there is a really pretty shaded area with lots of trees

so I walked through that area and there was just a really nice breeze right there and it felt really good.

And then once I got to the other side, I was on the beach.

I went on a weekday in the middle of the day, and there were not that many people there.

But if you go on the weekend, it can be really crowded and there are a lot of people there.

So I found a good spot and put my towel down.

I always struggle putting down the towel, like depending on which way the wind is blowing.

If the wind is blowing the opposite way, it's hard to lay it down.

Do you know what I mean?

I love the way the warm sand feels on my feet

once I first get there I always just play with my

feet in the sand once I get to the beach

because it just feels so good so the first thing I do

when I get to the beach is put on sunscreen so I took that out and put it on

The sun is really intense there and it's really important to put it on and to also reapply.

To reapply your sunscreen is to put it on again,

which they say you should do every two hours or so.

And once my sunscreen was on, it was time to relax.

This was really special for me because I never go to the beach by myself.

I'm always with my kids, my family, or other people.

And there's something just really nice about being at the beach by yourself.

Once my sunscreen was on, I was ready to relax for a bit.

One thing I really like to do whenever I go to the beach is to people watch.

Now, to people watch is to simply look around at other people and to see what they're doing.

I like doing this at the beach because everyone is always having fun at the beach.

Everyone always seems happy.

They're with their families or friends.

And I just really like seeing that.

After I relaxed for a little bit, I grabbed a magazine.

This one was on Michael Jackson.

And I have been reading a lot about him lately.

I find him so interesting.

And I just really love reading magazines on the beach.

I think it is the perfect time to just sit and read something like that and to just really disconnect.

Then after laying there for a little bit, I got really hot.

That's what always happens.

I really like to lay on the beach until I'm really, really hot.

And then I go get in the water.

First, I just walked down and got my feet in.

I love the way it feels when the sea waves crash on your feet.

And it always just feels really good to walk on the beach and to just feel that water on your legs.

And that felt so good that I needed to get my whole body in.

So I went for a swim.

I really love to swim as a workout in the sea

and just take advantage of the sea because that is a really, really good workout.

And I can never do it very long, only about 10 minutes because I get so tired.

Swimming in the sea or ocean is so much harder than swimming in a pool.

After I got out of the sea,

I decided I wanted to find some shade since I did not bring an umbrella to the beach

and I had also forgotten my water in the car,

which is a huge mistake whenever you go to the beach and I was really thirsty.

So I decided to move to the shade in this nice shaded spot with the trees where I came in.

Then I put on my poncho.

I also grabbed this before I left as well.

A poncho is like a big towel, but it's also a bathing suit cover-up.

So a cover-up is something that you wear over a bathing suit to cover up.

It's always just really practical because it's like a towel and clothes in one.

And I wear mine so much over the summer.

Then it was time to take out my snacks.

I don't know why, but being at the beach just makes me hungry.

So I was really glad that I had some snacks.

I took out my palitos and ate some of them.

But eating these palitos did make my mouth kind of dry since I did not have any water.

But I also did have some pecans.

Pecans are my favorite kind of nut.

I love pecans.

And I did have some of those as well.

I really like eating nuts because they are easy,

they fill me up, and they're just really tasty.

I love eating nuts as a snack.

100

Then I decided to take out my magazine and to read a little bit more.

101

This just really felt so relaxing.

102

I usually come to the beach with my kids or other people

103

and it's just really not as relaxing as when you come by yourself.

104

So I was just really enjoying this moment of reading and being at the beach by myself.

105

Then I needed to reapply some sunscreen.

106

I also have this sunscreen, which is for my lips.

107

It is SPS 50.

108

And I put some of that on along with some special face sunscreen.

109

This sunscreen that I put on is tinted

110

and a tinted sunscreen is a sunscreen that has a little bit of color

111

so it's like a little bit of makeup but it's sunscreen and it's just really convenient.

112

Since I forgot my water at this point I was really thirsty

113

and ready to drink something so I decided to go to a beach restaurant which was nearby.

114

Now in Spain, these beach restaurants are called Chiringuitos,

115

and they are only open during the summer.

116

So I sat down at the Chiringuito, or beach restaurant, and checked out the menu.

117

I wasn't really sure what I wanted.

118

I couldn't decide if I wanted to eat or just drink something.

119

So I decided to just get a really cold water with ice and lemon.

120

And this water tasted so good because I was so thirsty.

121

I literally chugged the whole thing.

122

Now that's a really interesting word.

123

To chug means to drink something really fast.

124

So I chugged this cold water because I was so thirsty.

125

And then I got a banana strawberry smoothie that was made with oat milk and fresh fruit.

126

It wasn't one of those smoothies that is made with like syrup.

127

It was like a real fresh smoothie.

128

And you guys, this smoothie was so good.

129

I don't know why.

130

I don't eat smoothies a lot.

131

But this smoothie really impressed me.

132

And I thought, hey, I need to be drinking more smoothies because it was really so good.

133

I want to start making more smoothies for myself at home.

134

It was really nice just to enjoy my time here at the Chiringuito and relax.

135

this whole experience of being at the beach by myself

136

and just enjoying the day was just really special because it's not something that I usually do.

137

But then it was time for me to leave.

138

So I just started walking back to my car and headed home.

139

Guys, what did you think of my beach day?

140

What was your favorite part?

141

What do you like about the beach?

142

Let me know in the comments.

143

Thank you guys so much for watching or listening.

144

I hope you have a wonderful day, and I cannot wait to see you in the next episode.

145

Bye!

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.
