Criando lição...
1
OK with each other?
2
I'm at the zoo.
3
Let's learn some English together.
4
So we're at Chester Zoo.
5
It's the most visited zoo in the UK and the country's favourite zoo.
6
Right, so penguins, the way penguins walk is like a waddle, like this, right?
7
But we can also use waddle for people.
8
So you might say like, oh, that old lady, she's waddling.
9
She kind of walks like this.
10
So we sometimes use waddle for people as well.
11
It's not a very kind word, but we do.
12
Right, I'm hoping to catch a glimpse of the dusky pad-melon.
13
Pad-a-melon, which is kind of like a kangaroo sort of thing.
14
But no sign of him yet.
15
They're marsupials, Laura. Are they?
16
So right then they were standing upright.
17
So when you've got an animal that's normally down like this and the animal goes like that, we say that they are standing upright.
18
So, oh look, he's standing upright.
19
Can you spot the warthogs?
20
To spot means to see or find.
21
And I can spot three warthogs.
22
Look at him.
23
He's all curled up.
24
He's all curled up and sleeping.
25
I mean, it's not the most ladylike position I've ever seen anyone sit.
26
I'm a bit intimidated.
27
I'm very scared he's going to just take off and flap in my face.
28
Oh, he's making noises.
29
I'm scared.
30
How close are you allowed to be?
31
Hello.
32
I like your plume.
33
Oh, no, he's going to go.
34
Moo!
35
This is the closest I've ever been to a crocodile.
36
Like, he's just there.
37
Whoa.
38
He's hanging on this branch.
39
He's kind of, like, leaning on that branch and just relaxing.
40
Bedouin has an aversion to birds.
41
Absolutely.
42
And things that flap and fly.
43
So he's not extremely comfortable in this place.
44
I'm doing well.
45
They're a free flying bird.
46
And there's a place called the Bat Cave, which we have only been in once, and they let bats free fly around you.
47
And you were destroyed.
48
I'm particularly afraid of bats as well.
49
He is fast with the snow.
50
He's a bit wrinkly.
51
Wow.
52
Nobody home.
53
Keep your eyes peeled for someone joining us soon.
54
Keep your eyes peeled and keep looking, keep watching, keep your eyes peeled. Be ready.
55
We've decided we're going to take a little boat trip.
56
So when you use the word trip, we often use to take a trip.
57
So we're going to go on a little boat, we're going to take a little boat trip.
58
Come on!
59
It's very peaceful on this boat.
60
Very tranquil.
61
Yeah.
62
Very calm, peaceful.
63
It's just, we're just leisurely moving along the water, which is really, really nice.
64
And we're the only people on the boat, which is nice.
65
The boat is empty apart from us.
66
Do not rock the boat.
67
Now, in this case, it means it literally, it's saying do not rock the boat, but it's also an idiom.
68
If you say don't rock the boat, it means don't disrupt things, like don't cause arguments, don't cause controversy.
69
Just do what is expected of you.
70
Don't do anything controversial.
71
Don't rock the boat.
72
I'm getting a bit peckish.
73
You know what some people say for starving?
74
I've heard some people say, I'm Hank Marvin.
75
Have you heard that?
76
It must be, is that Cockney rhyming?
77
I think it's Cockney rhyming.
78
So I go, oh, I'm Hank Marvin.
79
And it means I'm starving.
80
I'm really hungry.
81
It's lunchtime.
82
So we're going to go into Chester Zoo's like pub restaurant and get some lovely lunch.
83
We had a lovely lunch.
84
I had like a risotto chicken situation.
85
What did you have?
86
You didn't see?
87
A big fish and chips.
88
A huge fish and chips.
89
I was just thinking in there, the food didn't need to be that good.
90
And that was really good quality food.
91
You don't go to the zoo for food really, do you?
92
So it's nice that there's an option.
93
It was really, really nice quality food.
94
We're going to go and see some more animals.
95
It says here, have a go at.
96
That's a very British phrase.
97
Have a go means try it.
98
So have a go at flamingo courtship poses.
99
Right, head flag.
100
Stretch up tall, point your beak up high, Turn your head from side to side.
101
Crushed it.
102
What's that one?
103
Wing salute.
104
Amazing.
105
Put your head down with your tail feathers in the air.
106
I think this is designed for children, but I'm doing it.
107
Here's a really funny British English phrase that I bet you don't know.
108
He's got the hump, but a lot of the time we drop the H and say, he's got the ump, right?
109
It's quite a regional phrase it means he's angry he's in
110
a mood he's a bit grumpy today he's got the ump i think these cannibals are about to hunt
111
oh they're going in there they're going inside they're scrapping the fighting
112
It's just a bog standard goat.
113
It's just a goat.
114
Peacocks.
115
They're in the zoo, but can't you get like...
116
I swear I've seen peacocks just...
117
Roaming around.
118
Just roaming around.
119
Yeah.
120
In like old buildings in the UK, like big stately manors in the UK.
121
You'll just see a peacock.
122
Yeah, that's true.
123
Do they buy them?
124
I think you can get wild peacocks.
125
Not wild surely.
126
Well, who owns them then?
127
Look, look, it says on the map here.
128
It says they're native to South Asian.
129
I think people buy them in.
130
Do you think?
131
I think so.
132
They must be.
133
We should get one.
134
I don't think.
135
The Smashing English mascot.
136
A peacock.
137
Yeah, don't mind that.
138
Don't mind the noise.
139
It's a peacock.
140
It's our pet peacock.
141
Right, questions.
142
How many teeth do they have?
143
So many of my students struggle with making questions like that.
144
So they say like, how many teeth it has, how many teeth do they have, how much does a lion weigh,
145
how far can a lion pounce.
146
Practice your questions because a lot of my students get the wrong.
147
So remember I told you that Bez doesn't like flying things and things that flap.
148
We're going to go into a butterfly house where it's nothing but butterflies flying around so how do you think you'll do?
149
I remember I went in there a few years ago and I haven't forgot about it.
150
It was pretty traumatic, to be honest.
151
It's vile.
152
It's vile.
153
Isn't that vile?
154
That's beautiful.
155
I have a fear of...
156
Sometimes they land on you.
157
I have a fear of things that flap.
158
So I have a fear of butterflies, bats, birds, insects, curtains...
159
Curtains is ridiculous.
160
Like just anything kind of an uncontrollable thing.
161
So like, oh, horrible things like that.
162
Horrible, horrid things like that.
163
I'm ready.
164
I'm really not.
165
I'm really not.
166
I'm just gonna pop this in the bin and we'll go in.
167
He's gripping my hand so tightly.
168
Ow!
169
Ow!
170
Oh my god.
171
I don't think they're as bad this time.
172
Last time we were here, they were flying right in front of us.
173
It's still pretty horrible, are they?
174
It's warm in it, warm!
175
Look at these chrysalises!
176
Bedouin is petrified, he is absolutely petrified!
177
Nearly at the end!
178
Oh my god, oh my god!
179
So the spider monkeys have really long limbs and they're quite gangly.
180
You know, if they were a person you would say, he's quite lanky, you know, like really long, thin limbs.
181
But it makes them really nimble and they can smooth really easily.
182
I love a spider monkey, they're fun.
183
Quite similar to you, Laura.
184
Oh, oh.
185
Oh, come on.
186
Come on.
187
Come on.
188
Do you want to go in the Batcave?
189
Fat chance, Laura.
190
Is that a joke?
191
Come on, it would be lovely.
192
It would be lovely.
193
No way.
194
No, there's not a chance in hell.
195
These capybaras are basking in the sun.
196
Just basking.
197
Taking it all in.
198
I feel like there's always one on lookout.
199
So here, that guy there, he's always on lookout.
200
So there's always one that's higher than the other one.
201
Can you guess how many animals are at this zoo?
202
Like individual animals?
203
Me?
204
Yeah.
205
2,000.
206
More.
207
More as in individual animals?
208
Yeah.
209
10,000.
210
More.
211
20,000.
212
More.
213
50,000.
214
30,000.
215
Wow.
216
Here's a question.
217
Do you think we say I'm at the zoo or in the zoo?
218
We'd say I'm at the zoo, because as you can see, most of it is not inside.
219
So if you're going somewhere where you're not really going to be inside a place, you say I'm at there.
220
So I'm at a wedding.
221
I'm at the zoo.
222
I'm at a party.
223
You'd say I'm in if you're specifically enclosed in something.
224
That's quite a common phrase.
225
Like there's safety in numbers.
226
Like you are safer if you are with a group of people rather than being on your own.
227
So this animal is safer when they're together, because there's lots of them.
228
So these are crickets.
229
And as you can see, there's thousands of them here.
230
There's bucket loads of crickets.
231
Don't ask how I got in this situation. To thrive.
232
If you are thriving, you are doing really, really well.
233
Chester Zoo is saying that Chester Zoo works locally and internationally to help nature thrive.
234
So to help nature do really well rather than just, okay, we want nature to do really well.

Dicas de Prática
Para tirar o máximo proveito desta lição, sugiro que você use a técnica de shadowing em inglês. Ouça atentamente a forma como o apresentador fala e tente imitar a sua pronúncia, ritmo e entonação. O video é falado em um tom descontraído, o que faz com que a mimetização se torne mais natural. Pausa o vídeo sempre que achar necessário para repetir as frases e expressões, e não tenha medo de errar. O objetivo é ficar confortável com a língua. Esta prática pode ser ainda mais eficaz se você se inscrever para ouvir o conteúdo repetidamente, assim como o método do shadowspeak. Faça isso enquanto assiste aos momentos mais interessantes do zoológico, como a interação com os animais. Assim, você não apenas aprimorará seu inglês, mas também se divertirá ao mesmo tempo!
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
