The past few weeks I've been in Spain, mainly by the beach, combining my work routine with holidays.

Oh, and to say this sign, it is...

Quote, unquote.

Or you can say, in inverted commas.

Anyway, my fiancée has just gone out to see some live music.

She's gone to a gig, also known as a concert.

So I thought I'd take you on a little bit of an evening walk through a natural park

and then back along the beach.

And I'll be describing things that I see in English

and having a chat to provide you with some comprehensible input in English.

And because I don't like carrying a bag with me and taking lots of random stuff, here are a few things that I would normally take with me to the beach,

but today I haven't done.

These are flip-flops, but in Australian English they call them thongs.

There you can see two beach chairs and a couple of beach umbrellas.

This is a towel, of course, to dry yourself after you go for a swim.

And don't worry, I've already put on sun cream.

You can also say sunblock or sunscreen.

I've already put on some insect repellent, so hopefully no mosquitoes will bite me.

These are vending machines.

Here we have a nice picnic area with some trees.

We have sand on the ground.

And we have a children's playground with a slide over there.

And here in front of me, we have a lovely climbing wall where people can climb up the wall.

Now I'm walking straight forward along this wooden path and you can see my shadow as I'm walking forward.

And let me explain to you the difference between shade and shadow.

The shade is any area that isn't in the sun, that it's covered.

This, this would be shade.

Whereas here, somebody's reflection, that is their shadow.

This is my shadow.

All clear?

Here we have a bin where people should throw away their rubbish.

And it's a bit bright.

It's quite hard to keep my eyes open.

So I'm going to put on my sunglasses, also known as my shades or sunnies.

Now, luckily, I'm walking through this big area in the shade.

Now, let me just zoom in because in the distance on the horizon,

you can see these huge wind turbines producing electricity.

It is of course wind energy, which is a form of renewable energy.

And to be honest it's a little bit windy at the moment.

You could also say it's a bit breezy at the moment.

And right now I was sat down on a bench and I'm recording this in the evening.

It's about seven o'clock now

so thankfully luckily it has cooled down it's like 28 degrees right now

but earlier it was like 36

so it is boiling scorching sweltering baking roasting all different ways to say very hot over there you can see

that there are people walking out along the pier to then get into some kayaks and start kayaking.

I think from this angle you can see the kayaks a little bit more clearly and the wind turbines behind them.

As I'm walking I thought I'd show you my swim shorts.

You can also call them swimming trunks and I'm wearing trainers instead of flip flops.

That's because I have sensitive feet and if I wear flip flops for too long then my feet start to hurt.

I've just stopped for a moment because I noticed in front of me you have lots of cacti.

One of these plants, trees that are able to survive in very dry weather.

The singular is cactus and the plural is cacti.

I've just taken off my shirt because,

you know, I want to get a tan and getting a tan is when your skin starts to become browner.

You become tanned and as maybe can see behind me, I'm on a bridge and there is a little stream passing through it.

And look at this, check it out.

The stream is a little bit dry to be honest,

but the thing I want to show you is that when I zoom in you can see lots of little crabs.

These little crabs that are digging holes and then climbing out of the holes.

It's cool, isn't it?

Well, nature is cool in general.

Ah, isn't that satisfying?

Looking ahead of me and seeing that it's empty.

There's nobody in front of me.

Lovely.

A bit of peace and quiet at last.

Oh, and by the way, maybe you haven't seen me with a mustache before, so I'm curious.

What do you think of the mustache?

Oh, and as I said at the beginning of the video, I'm still working whilst I'm kind of on holiday, combining being by the beach with my classes.

And if you'd like to join my classes for groups or individuals, I'll leave a link in the description.

And there, you can also try out my application for free as well.

Now, just before I start walking back along the beach, I'm going to sit down and have a quick pause,

a little rest at that bench which is just underneath a beautiful tree.

By the way, this is something that I do almost every day.

I come for a walk, I put on my earphones and I listen to podcasts or music and I get my steps in.

I do a little bit of exercise.

Do you enjoy going for a walk as well?

And if you do, do you ever watch my videos or listen to my podcasts whilst going for a walk?

If so, let me know in the comments.

And yeah, it's a great way of killing two birds with one stone by doing a bit of exercise, getting out of the house,

whilst listening to me speaking in English at the same time to improve your listening skills.

Right in front of me, you can see the sun blazing.

and you can see it reflecting against this stream

and I'm on another one of these little bridges

and here you can see yet again some little crabs that keep popping out of their holes.

Okay I'm just about to reach the beach

and behind me you can see a bridge

and you can see the part of the city of cadiz

which is in the south of spain and it's famous for being very windy

so hopefully the volume and the sound quality isn't too bad despite it being

so windy look at my hair wow it looks mental doesn't it it looks crazy now finally i have reached the beach

So looking across here you can see that huge bridge and over there you can see the city of Cadiz.

Then in about an hour I guess the sun will go down,

it will set, and I'm gonna walk all the way back over there where you can see those buildings.

And whenever I see some words or phrases that I think are interesting and worth teaching you, well I'll do that as well.

As I keep walking here you can see lots of footprints from where other people have walked along the beach.

There are of course lots of these little shells, we can also specify and call them seashells.

These shells are slightly different because they're from razor clams, a type of clam that looks like this.

100

Delicious if you ask me.

101

And what do you call these birds that are found by the beach?

102

They are seagulls.

103

And the seagull is flying away.

104

This is a little bit dry, but it is seaweed.

105

And this, of course,

106

is sand this is a sandy beach there the seagull is perching on top of some kind of pole

107

and there you have a fence on each side of it now i'm going to walk towards the shore

108

and then I'm going to walk along the shore

109

which is the little part of the beach just next to where the sea begins.

110

And behind me there are some waves but they're not very strong

111

so I don't think you can really go surfing in this water.

112

And to be honest I'm tempted to go for a dip.

113

Go for a dip means to go for a quick swim.

114

I'm tempted to go for a dip but it's not

115

that hot anymore and I haven't brought a towel

116

so I think I'm gonna pass this time

117

and earlier this morning I went to a different beach and there I did go for a dip.

118

I did have a little swim in the sea and it was amazing I loved it.

119

Oh and right now as you can see

120

because the beach is quite big and there's a lot of sand where people can sit down and sunbathe,

121

it means that it is low tide.

122

But I think the tide will be coming in, will be approaching and taking over more of the sand.

123

Then it would be high tide.

124

Here you have more seagulls.

125

It seems like they've all got together

126

and they're fighting over some food beautiful these floaty things

127

that you see in the water they're called boys yes it

128

sounds just like boys as you can see i'm now getting closer

129

and closer to these apartment buildings these blocks of flats where lots of people have a second residence

130

and right along the shore you You can notice lots of people are out for a stroll.

131

A nice evening walk.

132

And if I zoom in, you can see that the beach is packed.

133

It's crowded.

134

It's teeming with people.

135

It is chock-a-block.

136

It looks a little bit like a bird, but no. Over there, flying in the sky is a kite.

137

Someone is flying a kite.

138

Now, as I'm getting to the end of my walk, you can see some palm trees and I'm walking along the promenade, along the seafront.

139

That's the direction I've come from, where you can see the city and the bridge in the distance.

140

And across, you can see that the sun is going down, it's starting to set, and the beach is packed.

141

So that is the end of my walk.

142

I'm going to head home.

143

I hope you enjoyed this video, and I'll see you next time.

144

Bye-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.
