Welcome back to a new video.
2
Today guys we are at the Great Wall of China.
3
In this video we'll be going up and exploring the Great Wall of China and learning English through comprehensible input.
4
This video is part of my 3,000 most common English words designed to help you understand up to 95% of spoken English.
5
The north entrance to the...
6
They literally take a chunk out of you but it's It's just so humid and hot.
7
We are very lucky because we got this whole cable cart.
8
Everyone's just signing their name.
9
The air is also thinner up here, which makes it a little bit hard.
10
I need a recharge.
11
Let me sit on this.
12
I am delirious.
13
We'll go to, it looks like they're restoring part of this wall.
14
Way higher than the Moore Caves.
15
Let's get started.
16
Okay, so right now we're going to the north entrance to the west route.
17
We're going to the north entrance, go on the west route, And that's where we get in like a cable car where we have a 360 degree view all around us.
18
Honestly, it's not that busy right now.
19
No, I'm not going to lie.
20
There's almost like no one around here.
21
But first we have to take a bus there, right?
22
Oh, do we?
23
Yeah, we have to take a shuttle bus.
24
With our passport.
25
With our passport.
26
And then we'll get to like the main cable car.
27
And then from there, that'll take us to the top.
28
And I think we walk back from there, right?
29
The shuttle bus won't take us back?
30
Yeah, the shuttle bus will take us back, but there's some walking.
31
Well, you walk once you get to the top.
32
It's about a two and a half hour walk at the top.
33
Look at that food there.
34
Saigon banh mi.
35
Yo.
36
Bruh.
37
Not the Vietnamese food.
38
No, we have to eat Chinese food.
39
Exactly.
40
But they did kind of make it sound like we needed to get food through them, right?
41
I know.
42
It's usually like that.
43
I would low-key get a coffee.
44
You want a Garabong?
45
Frick no, dude.
46
I hate coffee.
47
You already know that.
48
What?
49
I'm joking, bro.
50
You used to stop pranking.
51
Anyway, let's head over to the shuttle bus.
52
Go up the Great Wall.
53
Maybe you can see it in the distance.
54
It's over there.
55
yeah it goes way up there i could see like the guard towers along the wall
56
but not the wall too much yeah i can see the
57
guard towers too anyway we're about to be up there very soon
58
so let's go that's the line to get on the shuttle
59
bus yeah you can see those people over there are getting
60
on the shuttle bus right now we're at the very back
61
of the line here i don't think it's going to take
62
too long yeah there are a lot it's going fast okay
63
so we're now getting on the bus here the shuttle bus to the Great Wall.
64
You can see everyone is getting on the bus now.
65
We're already sitting down on the bus.
66
Are you sweating yet or no?
67
No, I'm not.
68
It's actually nice weather up here, isn't it?
69
It's like 28 degrees.
70
Yeah.
71
Not too bad.
72
You can see it's very cloudy.
73
It's overcast, so it's not too hot today.
74
What are your predictions on the rain?
75
I think it's probably not going to rain.
76
What the?
77
Dude, it's behind the car and you're going to get eaten.
78
It's a monster, dude.
79
Look at that thing.
80
Dude, that's a horsefly. Is it?
81
Or something like that.
82
That thing will bite you.
83
Hell no. Stay there.
84
Stay there, buddy.
85
Have you been bit by a horsefly before?
86
No. I remember when we used to go to the lake in Alberta, in Canada.
87
There would be horseflies that would fly around the water
88
and you'd have to like dive into the water to dodge them or else they'll bite you.
89
They'll take a chunk of flesh out of you.
90
They literally take a chunk out of you.
91
Because they're like this big.
92
Yeah, and they like take meat off of you.
93
They don't just be like Stay back there buddy Bro,
94
get your hand down You're gonna make it attack me Look at this.
95
It's going the other way don't work.
96
Just smack it.
97
How did they not notice it?
98
They're just chilling like the people in front of us are not even reacting to it.
99
It's like right beside them Okay, we are now walking up to the cable car.
100
Yeah, you can see a map of this area.
101
We're walking up to the cable car to take it to the Great Wall.
102
Yeah, here you can see the sign.
103
Cable car.
104
300 meters.
105
Okay, so this is the entrance to the east side.
106
We're going to the west side so we have to keep on climbing up.
107
You can kind of see the cable car in the distance there.
108
These are what the cable cars look like that we're going to be taking.
109
If we went to the east side, it was like a chairlift.
110
There's only two people that can go on the chairlift.
111
On those ones, it's six people.
112
So it's a lot bigger, but I think I prefer the chairlift because you're like in the open
113
Exactly in the cable car you're completely sealed off from the elements.
114
Yeah, and it could get really hot in there, too So yeah, hey guys
115
So right now I'm in Vietnam by the beach The beach is just behind me
116
and the way I got here is by flying
117
and like most people I hate booking flights You search for
118
a flight get redirected to a new website decline all the upsells
119
and then have to type in your personal and credit card information all over again.
120
But today's sponsor, SOAR, is solving all of that.
121
SOAR is a fresh take on booking flights.
122
It's the same price and sometimes cheaper than Google Flights and Skyscanner.
123
But it remembers your information and allows you to book flights in one click.
124
It even checks you into your flight for you.
125
SOAR also texts you through iMessage with your boarding pass, tells you what gate to go to, lets you know if there's a delay,
126
and even claims money back if your flight drops in price.
127
If you've got a trip coming up and want to try the future of flying, give SOAR a look.
128
Go to the link in my description
129
or scan this QR code to sign up for SOAR and get $25 off your first trip.
130
Thank you SOAR for sponsoring today's video.
131
Can someone translate what this means?
132
I heart.
133
I'm gonna guess the Great Wall of China or China.
134
Okay now we're gonna go through the ticket office here
135
so we need our passport okay so leon's going through the ticket check area
136
and now we're one step closer to the great wall of china it's only 100 meters away
137
and there's also a restroom 60 meters away oh
138
so here in china they have a really unique way of confirming your tickets
139
and that is with scanning your passport
140
so you don't even need a ticket a physical ticket
141
or even a qr code they just scan your passport
142
and they already know that you're in the system
143
and that's how you get in and
144
if you're from china the ticket is your id so
145
if you're below this height i imagine you can't go on
146
the cable cart actually i think that's for pricing oh really
147
like right now i'm like i'm panting we haven't really walked that far
148
but it's just so humid and hot and I'm wearing a long sleeve so it's hot.
149
I'm glad we got a cable car ticket.
150
I think you can hike up there but you might not make it.
151
I'm not that in shape.
152
I'm not making it up there.
153
That wasn't really obvious because that is a nice view
154
but I imagine the view from up there is going to be breathtaking.
155
That view is super nice.
156
So we are now lined up here.
157
You can see the people over there are getting off the cable car
158
and we're getting on it here
159
and they do look pretty nice hopefully they're not too hot if they're too hot we will sweat a lot
160
okay
161
so we're going to be the first one to get on
162
the cable cart should we sit across from each other yeah okay
163
so we're getting into the cable cart now oh the camera was off
164
that whole time oh was it did you redo it pretty much we just got into the cable cart
165
and we're lucky because we are alone in here yeah you can see
166
that cable cart is filled with people but we got this one all to ourselves.
167
Yeah, this is really similar to the one you were on in Ecuador to visit that viewpoint in Quito.
168
Yeah, the...
169
I don't care what it's called.
170
Just the Teleferico.
171
The Teleferico, yes.
172
So you can check that video out here.
173
Yeah, check out that video.
174
I'm going on the Teleferico, but also check out Leon's YouTube channel where he also posts comprehensible input blogs.
175
Nomadapedia, the link to his channel is in the description.
176
Check it out.
177
So we're now going up the mountain.
178
I don't think it's that long of a ride, but you can see the beautiful view.
179
And we are very lucky because we got this whole cable cart to ourselves.
180
But like I was saying, it's hot in here.
181
There's no ventilation.
182
Yeah, it's like a hot box in here, dude.
183
It's like a sauna.
184
It's so hot.
185
But one thing is, I'm surprised it's not crazy busy here.
186
And I'm surprised we weren't able to get into the cable cart alone
187
because it's summer holiday in China and we went to the Forbidden City yesterday and also the National Museum.
188
And the National Museum was absolutely packed.
189
I've never been in a museum so busy before.
190
And it wasn't fun, so we just saw the Ancient China exhibition and then we left.
191
But I'm surprised that we were alone here.
192
Holy...
193
Whoa, what's that?
194
Oh my God.
195
Great wall.
196
Dude, that is crazy. So beautiful.
197
Oh my gosh.
198
Let me get my glasses on.
199
What do you see?
200
Dude, cold.
201
Wow.
202
I am lost for words and we're already at the top.
203
As our cable car slowly climbed higher into the mountains, we finally caught our first glimpse of the Great Wall of China.
204
It appeared beneath us, winding gracefully through the green hills like an enormous stone snake.
205
At first, only a short section was visible, but gradually more of the wall emerged through the mist.
206
The moment we noticed it, everyone immediately turned toward the window.
207
We raised our phones, pointed excitedly, and tried to record the view before the cable car moved past it.
208
The surrounding mountains looked peaceful and slightly mysterious, while the ancient wall seemed powerful, distant, and almost unreal.
209
Seeing it from above gave us an entirely different perspective.
210
We could clearly see how steep the landscape was and how the wall followed the natural shape of the mountains.
211
It made us realize how physically demanding its construction must have been.
212
We had seen the Great Wall in books, films, and countless photographs, but seeing it with our own eyes felt completely different.
213
We had not even stepped onto it yet, but the experience was already becoming one of the most memorable parts of our trip.
214
Okay, so we just got off and now we're going to go see the Great Wall.
215
So I do believe we are now on the Great Wall.
216
You can see it stretches further down over there.
217
Okay, so it is busier up here.
218
Let's keep going.
219
It's super crowded because it's a narrow entrance up there.
220
Oh.
221
Opening.
222
Go, go, go.
223
Now, I've seen, like, the videos of the other Great Wall, where there's just a wave of people climbing up and down the wall.
224
Yeah, that's crazy.
225
But here, it's not that bad, so I'm glad we came to this section of the wall instead of the other one.
226
Okay, now let's start making our way all the way over there.
227
So this right here is a watchtower.
228
That side is China.
229
This side is China, too, but I think they were trying to keep people out from that side.
230
Yeah, the monks, the Turks.
231
And then there's one more.
232
Juan or something.
233
Do you think this is historic?
234
Yeah.
235
Everyone's just signing their name.
236
We're inside one of these watchtowers now.
237
Oh, damn.
238
This is pretty steep.
239
If you fall, you're rolling down this whole tower.
240
Oh, I almost rolled my ankle there.
241
It's super nice.
242
Okay, so we've made it to the second watchtower.
243
And you can see just how far the Great Wall of China goes.
244
And did you know that the Great Wall of China is 21,000 kilometers long?
245
It's the longest wall in the world.
246
And you can see there are lights here on the bottom to light up the wall at night.
247
And at night, it looks very beautiful as well.
248
But this view is absolutely breathtaking.
249
And you can see all the mountains in the distance.
250
Today is very overcast and you can see mist covering the mountains.
251
It might rain today, hopefully not
252
but we also might hike into the mist depending on how much time we have
253
but it's very beautiful
254
and very green give me three sentences you would use to describe this scene 3 000
255
that is the amount of words you need to understand up to 95 of spoken English.
256
But if you want to keep improving after that, I've now added the next 2,000 most common English words.
257
So you can build the full 5,000 word set and understand up to 98% of spoken English.
258
So now you can start with the 3,000 word PDF, continue with the next 2,000 word PDF,
259
or get both together is the full 5,000 most common English words PDF
260
that will allow you to understand up to 98% of spoken English.
261
And in these new versions, there are now images as well to help you learn even faster.
262
Each PDF includes clear definitions,
263
real examples, and simple organization to help you stop studying random words and focus on the vocabulary that actually matters.
264
You can get them from the link in the description or at VolcaEnglish.com.
265
Okay, so we're in a watchtower now.
266
This is crazy, dude. So dark.
267
Okay, guys, so I found Leon.
268
Leon's way up ahead here.
269
He left me behind, so let's catch up to him.
270
I think he's tired.
271
I think he's beat and he's tired.
272
I lost you in there you didn't see me i was
273
just leaning out right before the watchtower i was just leaning out the hole did you see
274
that lady that was sitting like on the ledge no like on here yeah literally no on here
275
but like inside of there like in the window opening like
276
in the watchtower yeah in the watchtower no i didn't see
277
that that was funny like you could easily fall out of here
278
but it's not that far sorry
279
that would still hurt though a lot let's keep going i
280
feel like i'm cooling down yeah the more we walk i'm
281
not as hot as i was there's a breeze outside of the wall
282
so once you go
283
when you go through these little openings you feel the breeze
284
hit you we're kind of like in a no air zone in the wall walking path yeah
285
so there's not much air circulation on this path
286
but we are higher elevation so it is cooler up here
287
which is nice but the air is also thinner up here
288
which makes it a little bit harder to breathe we're both used to higher elevation places
289
because we spent like a year in ecuador and
290
that is one of like the highest elevation countries in the
291
world especially in quito this part of the wall has got a lot steeper i don't know
292
if you can tell on camera but it is a lot steeper here so we've already walked all of that
293
here leon comes behind me you tired
294
or are you filming look at his shirt i'm good i'm just a little let's see your shirt shirt is
295
so i'm just a little wet
296
but as long as i why is it just wet here it's
297
because you have this shirt on as long as i drink mocha's water i'll be fine
298
what the hell anyway you know we still have to go
299
all the way up there that's all you big dog and
300
that is steep that's no joke actually you can see from here people aren't walking on the great wall yeah
301
because that part of the great wall hasn't been restored
302
so you can see they're kind of walking beside it
303
and you can see that how it's like destroyed on the corner there so Yeah, that tower.
304
And they have that green construction material.
305
That means they're probably rebuilding that tower.
306
This is steep.
307
Another steep part of the wall.
308
Oh, man.
309
That's gotta be from some sort of Chinese drama.
310
Yeah, it's probably a Chinese movie they're referencing there.
311
We're in another watchtower.
312
What do you always say?
313
Peerless J beauty?
314
Yeah, but that's not a Peerless J beauty.
315
So I don't have any sweat marks, except for on the line where my strap is.
316
I have a sweat mark.
317
What Chinese drama am I referencing? Who knows?
318
I don't know either.
319
You guys can let me know in the comments.
320
I don't watch Chinese dramas, but I do watch other dramas.
321
I don't watch movies.
322
I'm tired.
323
I'm getting delirious.
324
You got to remember every step you take forward is a step you got to take back as well.
325
I don't look back and I don't go backwards.
326
I only go forward.
327
What, are you going to get Halley lifted out of here?
328
I only go forward.
329
I'll walk around the whole Great Wall before I backtrack.
330
21,000 kilometers.
331
That's it?
332
That's it.
333
That only will take a year and a half to walk.
334
But if I run, if I cut that down to 10 minutes, maybe.
335
Light work.
336
But I will take a water break right now.
337
Pass my water, please.
338
This is my water.
339
I like this water.
340
I feel like it's a really popular water because everywhere I go they always give me this water
341
but it might not be.
342
Pretty cheap too, right?
343
Four you on?
344
Is that how much I paid for this?
345
I kind of forget.
346
That's how much we paid at the convenience store.
347
Oh, it's probably the same thing, yeah.
348
It's good.
349
I need a recharge.
350
Let me sit on this.
351
I need a recharge.
352
What about you?
353
How are you feeling so far?
354
I'm good actually.
355
My feet hurt a little bit.
356
And we're walking on the steep sections my calves really hurt
357
but I think I just had to warm them up a bit and now I'm doing a lot better.
358
What do you think and I want you guys to answer this in the comments as well.
359
What do you think of the Great Wall of China so far?
360
So far it's definitely one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
361
Like it definitely earns the title of one of the seven wonders of the world.
362
I agree.
363
I'm really happy that I got to visit it and
364
if I could one day I'd like to walk even more of it.
365
Do you know all seven wonders?
366
The Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, the pyramids, the pyramids of Giza, the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
367
Leaning Tower of Pisa?
368
Oh, I've been there.
369
Let me Google it.
370
What are the seven wonders of the world?
371
Surprisingly, I have data connection up here.
372
Okay, Great Wall of China stretching over 13,000 miles or 21,000 kilometers, Petra in Jordan.
373
An ancient city carved directly into vibrant rose-red sandstone cliffs by the Nabatians over 2,000 years ago.
374
I didn't know that one.
375
I did not know that one.
376
The Colosseum in Italy.
377
I've been to that one too.
378
Oh yeah, that's one too, yeah.
379
I've been to three of them.
380
The Colosseum in Italy.
381
That one was so beautiful.
382
I remember that one.
383
Amazing.
384
I love the Colosseum.
385
Chichen Itza in Mexico.
386
A historic Mayan city on the Yucatan Peninsula featuring the iconic step pyramid known as El Castillo, which is renowned for its astronomical alignments.
387
Isn't Machu Picchu one?
388
That was the next one.
389
Machu Picchu in Peru, Taj Mahal in India, and the Christ the Redeemer in Brazil.
390
Oh yeah wrong which one did we say the leaning tower pizza
391
that is that was not one of them it was the Colosseum
392
but the last one is Christ the Redeemer
393
so I've seen one two I've seen two of them
394
when we go to Italy I'll probably see the the Taj Mahal that's three India
395
when we go to India yeah I am delirious
396
when we go to India we'll see the Taj Mahal Mexico we've been to Mexico but we never saw that.
397
I've never been to Brazil but I want to go.
398
And Petra in Jordan sounds really cool.
399
I would love to go there as well.
400
So it looks like they're restoring part of this wall.
401
You can see scaffolding on the right side of the wall.
402
So I guess they're restoring this part of it and also further up there.
403
You can't really see because of the mist
404
but further up there the wall has eroded so you can't actually walk on that.
405
That's why the people are walking on the left side up there.
406
But we'll go to the watchtower right before you actually start climbing up
407
and then we'll evaluate you know it's really crazy to think
408
about how much work this took to build like can you
409
imagine building up this mountain over here dude it took like three four hundred years no longer than
410
that because it was built in like sections right yeah by different dynasties
411
so this right here is scaffolding
412
and that's just used to help renovate this part of the
413
wall watch tower number 19 right here how many have we walked
414
so far we've walked from uh 14 i think no 15
415

After walking along this section of the Great Wall of China we finally reached the end of the open path.
435
Behind us, the wall stretches across the mountains, climbing sharply before disappearing into the thick, low clouds.
436
From this viewpoint, we can truly appreciate how vast and extraordinary it is.
437
The journey was beautiful, but it was far more difficult than we expected.
438
Some sections were fairly gentle, while others were incredibly steep.
439
We climbed hundreds of uneven stone steps paused repeatedly to catch our breath
440
and pushed forward even
441
when our legs started aching by the time we reached the end we were sweaty exhausted
442
and extremely proud of ourselves the cool mist covered the nearby
443
hills giving the landscape a peaceful mysterious atmosphere everything around us felt quiet remote
444
and almost unreal standing here also made us think about the people who constructed this enormous wall centuries ago.
445
Walking across it was challenging enough, so imagining how they built it on these steep mountains was almost impossible.
446
The climb tested us physically, but the spectacular view made every exhausting step completely worthwhile.
447

Произношение, на которое стоит обратить внимание

Говорящий использует 147 сокращённых и редуцированных форм, например I'm, we're, don't. Произносите их коротко, так, как слышите.

  • Звуки «th»: breathtaking /ˈbɹɛθˌteɪ.kɪŋ/, worthwhile /ˌwɜː(ɹ)θˈwaɪl/, rhythm /ˈɹɪð.əm/, beneath /bɪˈniːθ/, breathe /bɹiːð/
  • Звуки «sh» и «zh»: shuttle /ˈʃʌtəl/, elevation /ˌɛlɪˈveɪʃn̩/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, comprehension /ˌkɑmpɹɪˈhɛnʃn̩/, ventilation /ˌvɛntɪˈleɪʃ(ə)n/
  • Длинные слова — следите за ударением: delirious /dɪˈlɪə̯.ɹi.əs/, comprehensible /kɒmpɹəˈhɛnsɪbəl/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, mysterious /mɪˈstɪɹi.əs/

Звуки, трудные для русскоязычных:

  • /w/ — губы округлены, это не /v/: sweat /swɛt/, backward /ˈbækwɚd/, worthwhile /ˌwɜː(ɹ)θˈwaɪl/, whoa /woʊ/
  • /h/ — лёгкий выдох, а не русское «х»: hike /haɪk/, comprehensible /kɒmpɹəˈhɛnsɪbəl/, horsefly /ˈhoɹsˌflaɪ/, humid /ˈhjuːmɪd/, comprehension /ˌkɑmpɹɪˈhɛnʃn̩/
  • Звонкие согласные в конце слова — не оглушайте их: recharge /ɹiːˈtʃɑː(ɹ)dʒ/, pyramid /ˈpɪɹ.ə.mɪd/, erode /ɪˈɹəʊd/, scaffold /ˈskæf.əld/, humid /ˈhjuːmɪd/

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.
