Hello, my name is Jay and this is a slow English vlog.

Today, I am taking a flight.

I am getting on this plane to go to Geneva on a day trip.

But first, let's rewind to yesterday.

Hello from yesterday.

I am going to pack my bag for tomorrow.

And this is everything I'm bringing on my day trip.

So first, my laptop, which is quite heavy, but I do need it for work.

And my laptop charger.

and I'm bringing a European adapter so

that I can switch out the British head for this to allow me to charge in Switzerland.

I'm going to put them into this bag so that the cables don't get tangled up.

This is my wallet and my notebook and pen.

These are my microphones to help me film and probably most important, my passport.

I can't get on the plane without this.

and my airpods and some toiletries.

So this is my deodorant,

my toothbrush, my toothpaste and dental floss and my tongue scraper. and lastly my sunscreen

because it's going to be sunny in Geneva I'm going to zip it up

and I'm also bringing my cap to protect me from the

sun let's put all of these items into my backpack I'm going to unzip it

and slide my laptop in and all of the other items as well.

I'm putting my wallet and AirPods into the top compartment so I can access them easily.

Also my passport into the top.

and zip it up and that's it.

It's not too heavy because it's only a day trip.

I'm all set to go and the time is already 9 p.m.

I need to wake up at 4 a.m which is in seven hours.

So I'm going to get ready for bed and see you in the morning.

Good morning.

I am currently in a taxi on my way to the airport.

It is 5 past 5 a.m.

and the traffic is not too bad at this time so we should be at the airport in about 20 minutes.

I got about five hours of sleep last night, which is not too bad, but I am still feeling a little bit tired,

so maybe I can get a quick nap on the flight.

See you at the airport.

I'm in the airport.

It's honestly quite busy, but luckily I am not checking in a bag.

I'm only bringing my backpack so I can head straight to security.

Okay, I think that is the lounge.

Apparently with my credit card, I can get in.

So let's see if that's true.

I managed to get into the lounge and behind me is a departures board.

My flight is at 7am, it's to Geneva, and it says gate shown at 6.15.

So let's come back and check for our gate in a few minutes.

But in the meantime, let's head into the lounge and find some breakfast.

So this is what I got myself for breakfast, starting with the drinks.

I got a bit greedy and got three.

This is my coffee, my glass of orange juice, and glass of water.

I got this tiny little croissant, and this strawberry bircher muesli.

And over here, it's sort of like an English breakfast with scrambled egg,

baked beans, some diced potatoes, a slice of cheese and some bacon.

And over here is my cutlery.

A spoon, knife and fork.

You can see how short the tip of the knife is.

That's due to safety regulations as we're in an airport.

Before I get on my flight, I want to get a bottle of water, or as some say, a bottle of water.

I'm going to get one for myself and one for my cameraman.

Let's go and check out.

Alright, thank you.

Alright, we've got the waters.

I am getting on this plane.

I am walking down the boarding bridge, about to board my flight.

Here is the entrance to the plane.

Morning.

The flight was packed, so I couldn't film much, but my seat had a good amount of legroom,

was a place to put my water bottle

and a nice big tray table and they brought everyone a chocolate which was a very nice touch.

I have landed in Geneva Airport.

The flight was only about one hour long.

I didn't really get any sleep but that's okay.

We are headed to Passport Control and this is a moving walkway which allows you to walk faster.

I'm just waiting in line at passport control.

It looks to me like quite a long queue ahead so I hope it doesn't take too long.

So passport control didn't take too long, maybe 20 minutes or so.

Geneva or Switzerland as a whole is very known for their watches which reminds me that

I need to change the time on my watch because the time here is one hour ahead of the time in London.

So I'm just looking for signs for the train.

I think it's that way.

I found the sign.

Trains that way.

This is the ticket machine and I am trying to buy a train ticket to Geneva Station.

I've got my train tickets and this is the train that I will be getting on.

It has two floors, which means it's a double-decker train.

Let's head over to the door and press this button, which should open the door,

and I am I'm stepping onto the train and I actually want to go up the stairs to the upper deck.

Look at this, it's like a curved sofa.

I've never seen something like this on a train.

So spacious I could even lie down.

But let's not do that.

The train journey to Geneva is actually only 7 minutes.

So we should be there in a couple of minutes actually

and I will have to get up from my very comfortable seat.

But yes, very excited to see Geneva and explore the city.

I'll see you there.

So, I have made it into the city and I am actually heading to a cafe now

because I have to attend an online meeting for work.

I think the cafe is just around the corner here.

Here it is.

100

This is the cafe.

101

I got an espresso tonic, which was nice and refreshing.

102

I sat down on my laptop to join the meeting.

103

So I've come to the park and this is part of the University of Geneva.

104

The good news is that I'm all done with my work meetings today,

105

but the bad news is that both my phone and my laptop are dead.

106

They are out of battery,

107

and apparently in this library they have plugs where I can charge my laptop and phone.

108

So let's go inside and charge my devices.

109

So, I'm in the library now.

110

I have to speak very quietly so that I don't bother the other people.

111

But right below here, I found some plugs.

112

So, I managed to charge both my phone and laptop.

113

My phone is now on 80%,

114

so that should last me all the way back home tonight and I am feeling quite hungry,

115

so I am on my way now to look for some lunch.

116

I'm at a restaurant.

117

This was recommended to me as a famous galette restaurant,

118

and this is the menu with a long list of options, but I have decided to get the Popeye,

119

which is egg, cheese and spinach.

120

Since it's such a beautiful day outside,

121

I decided to do takeout and I'm going to the park to have a picnic.

122

So, I've made it to the park.

123

I found this nice spot which overlooks the lake.

124

And over here, a beautiful fountain.

125

I mean, this is really nice, but I have my eyes on the food because I am really...

126

Oh no!

127

I almost spilled my drink.

128

Let's make sure not to do that.

129

And I'm going to open up the box.

130

Alright, let's give it a try.

131

I wonder if I'm supposed to dip it into the yolk.

132

Let's try that.

133

Okay.

134

It's nice, but it is pretty salty.

135

And for my drink, I got an iced cacao latte, or at least that's what they called it in the cafe.

136

I'm assuming it will be sweet?

137

Okay, actually it's quite bitter.

138

I do taste the chocolate, but it's like dark chocolate.

139

And there is also a hint of cinnamon.

140

But overall, it's quite nice.

141

I finished my lunch and I am just lying here on the grass.

142

I need to make sure I don't accidentally fall asleep because it's already 5pm and my return flight departs at 8.50pm,

143

which means I need to head to the airport in about an hour and a half.

144

So I'll probably get up and go for a little walk along the lake.

145

behind me is the famous water fountain called

146

jet d'eau which is French for water jet

147

and apparently it launches water up to a height of about a hundred

148

and forty meters I didn't know that you can actually walk up very close to the source of the jet stream.

149

You can see how the water is kind of blocking the sunlight and I don't know if it's because of the water,

150

but it does definitely feel a bit cooler here by a couple of degrees.

151

So, I've been walking in the sun for quite a while now and I really could do with some gelato.

152

And I've heard that Geneva has some good gelato spots.

153

So I'm going to go on my phone and look up some places nearby.

154

I think I found the perfect spot.

155

It's only seven minutes away.

156

So let's walk over to get some gelato.

157

So this is a pedestrian crossing and you can see the green light is flashing,

158

which means I need to hurry up.

159

I think I have found the store Gelatomania.

160

It's pretty busy though, so I'll have to wait a little bit.

161

Can I get the three in a pot?

162

Yes, in the pot, okay?

163

Yeah, and I'll get the sea salt, the coconut and the peach, please.

164

Okay.

165

I'm ready to get this one.

166

Okay.

167

Wow, I think he gave us a little bit extra on top because look at this.

168

This is supposed to be a small one, but it's huge.

169

Okay, I'm gonna try the top layer, which I think is the peach.

170

Oh, that is.. that is amazing.

171

It feels like I'm biting into a real peach.

172

And the second layer, which I think is coconut.

173

Mmm.

174

Not only does it taste like coconut, I feel like there's little bits of real coconut in there.

175

Wow.

176

And the bottom layer, which is the sea salt.

177

It's like the perfect balance of salty and sweet.

178

Genuinely, this is probably the best gelato I've ever had in my life.

179

I would probably come back to Geneva just to have this again.

180

And just like that, it is now time to head back to the airport.

181

I am going to walk to Geneva station, take the train to the airport,

182

and fly back to London.

183

I am back at the airport and my flight is this one, 8.50pm to London Heathrow.

184

But one thing I cannot forget is to buy some chocolates for a gift.

185

So let's go into the chocolate shop and take a look around.

186

Wow, so many chocolates.

187

And this is pretty cool, it's a fake cocoa tree,

188

and inside is a chocolate fountain, but it says, do not touch, so let's keep walking.

189

I really like the packaging, so I'm going to get this one.

190

And then it was time to board.

191

There's my plane.

192

I was so tired that I slept through most of the flight,

193

but I still managed to get a view of Windsor Castle as we were coming in to land.

194

I have made it back to London Heathrow Airport.

195

It's been about 16 hours since I came here this morning.

196

I am exhausted, but I hope you enjoyed the video.

197

Please let me know your thoughts in the comments and I'll see you in the next one.

198

Bye!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
