Hi there!

Today I'm going to tell you a real story about a walk I took along a creek in Melbourne.

Along the way I ended up at a small farm and a plant nursery.

Also I'll be using different forms of past tense throughout this video.

You can speak along with me and use this video for shadowing practice or you can relax and listen along.

If you're new to learning English and want to see more about life in Australia,

maybe you're planning to travel here,

are studying here or will move here for work,

this video series will help you understand everyday English quickly through comprehensible input while exploring real places around Melbourne and Australia.

PDF scripts are available to download for members of my channel,

and I upload bonus videos each month that are filled with extra questions

and moments for you to practice speaking English out loud.

I make new videos every week,

so please subscribe to see them every Sunday.

Okay, let's go for a walk.

The other day, I decided to go for a walk.

The weather was lovely and sunny, but not too hot.

It was the perfect weather for a walk along the creek,

starting at a lake.

A creek is a small river,

and a lake is a large area of still water.

Around the lake, there was a park that families could play in.

I saw a dad playing with his child near the edge of the lake.

He was showing his toddler some birds near the water.

A toddler is a very young child,

usually around one to three years old.

The dad and his toddler had just walked over from the playground.

The playground was in a wide,

open area surrounded by trees.

One part of the playground had a pointed turret for a roof and a metal slide coming out of it.

There was also a swing set in the park with two black swings.

I walked further along the footpath.

When I passed by some trees,

I realised that I could see apartment buildings through the leaves on the other side of the water.

Nature was all around me,

but I could still see the city in the distance.

It was a lovely view.

I decided to follow the path that was shaded by the trees when a woman ran past me.

A few moments later, I noticed a small waterfall.

This waterfall was man-made.

It was built by people.

It wasn't a natural waterfall.

It was a short ledge where water from the lake could gush over and trickle down into the creek.

I decided to keep walking along the path.

I made it to the trail that runs beside the creek.

You can walk alongside this creek for kilometres.

It's a very long walking path.

I was walking alongside the creek when I realised that I couldn't see the water anymore.

Dense layers of grass and trees were growing between the path and the creek.

The grass and tree branches were blowing gently in the breeze.

A little further ahead, I could see the creek again.

There was a bridge that I had to walk under.

As I was walking underneath the bridge,

I saw an interesting pattern on the underside of it.

It was a reflection of the water from the creek.

A reflection is what you see when light bounces off of something.

The ripples on the creek and the sunlight were creating a beautiful reflection on the bridge.

Ripples are small, moving lines that you see on top of the water.

I kept walking further along the footpath.

The creek ran through a few different suburbs.

A suburb is an area where people live outside the very centre of the city.

Along this part of the creek,

I could see some houses.

People were living nearby, but the path still felt peaceful and quiet.

Opposite the houses, there was a pathway that had railings on either side.

It wasn't open like the footpath was before.

As I was walking, I realised that the footpath was becoming a bridge.

The path was getting higher off the ground,

and I was beginning to walk level with the leaves of the trees.

When I looked down over the edge,

I could see green grass and trees on the bank of the creek below me.

The bank of a lake or a creek is the land at the edge of the water.

I walked over the top of the creek and crossed to the other side.

The sound of the water rushing below was very relaxing.

The water was running over small rocks and flowing gently downstream.

A cool breeze was blowing through the trees and off of the creek,

which felt really nice.

The air felt fresh on my face.

It was very pleasant.

Pleasant means nice, comfortable and enjoyable.

The sunlight was shining through the leaves and making the green colours look bright and vibrant.

After I crossed the bridge,

I saw a soccer field up ahead.

I was looking at the soccer nets stacked in cages when I suddenly noticed someone in a ride-on mower cutting the grass.

A ride-on mower is a lawnmower that you sit on and drive.

It was making a loud buzzing noise as it moved across the oval.

Further up on the footpath,

a group of cyclists rode past me.

I think they were all riding together as a group.

They passed me while I was walking underneath a transmission tower.

A transmission tower is a very tall metal structure that carries power lines.

lines are the long wires that carry electricity i was getting a little hot

so i walked underneath some tall trees in the shade i looked up and i saw blue sky between the branches

the sun was bright the rays of light were flickering between the leaves Most of the trees were eucalypt trees,

which are common Australian trees.

I loved looking at all the layers of leaves above me.

Some leaves were dark green,

and some were light green where the sun was hitting them.

The branches moved gently in the wind.

100

Being surrounded by trees made me feel very calm.

101

I was enjoying walking alongside the trees when I came across a very small farm.

102

It was an area with a few tables to sit at,

103

but the umbrellas were closed.

104

The farm had a field full of flowers.

105

The flowers were growing straight up out of the dirt.

106

There were little bursts of pink,

107

yellow, orange and purple across the field.

108

I was looking at the flowers when I realised that they were also growing vegetables.

109

There were leafy green vegetables growing low along the ground.

110

They were planted in neat rows.

111

By the side of the farm I saw a small stand that was closed.

112

The sign said that you could pick your own flowers but only on Fridays and Saturdays.

113

You could pick a big bunch of fresh flowers for $30.

114

I thought that it would be a nice activity to do with friends.

115

I walked around to the opposite side of the farm garden.

116

It was much bigger than I thought it was.

117

There were even more rows of leafy green vegetables growing next to the flowers.

118

There were also rows of neatly laid soil ready for new seeds.

119

Soil is the earth that the plants grow in.

120

We often say dirt but soil usually means earth that is being used for growing.

121

I kept walking along the creek and through the tall trees.

122

There were tree roots poking out above the ground so I had to watch my step.

123

While I was walking I found a small hut made from sticks.

124

It looked like something children had built to play in.

125

Some leaves on the trees were changing colour.

126

It's autumn in Australia so some leaves have turned yellow or brown.

127

Many native Australian trees like eucalypts stay green all year.

128

Only some trees here were showing autumn colours.

129

I found a quiet spot by the creek with both green and yellow leaves.

130

It was a perfect place to sit and rest.

131

Further along I saw a velodrome.

132

A velodrome is a cycling track shaped like a large oval with steep curves.

133

A cyclist was riding around the track to practice.

134

They might have been training for a race.

135

I kept walking in the sun between the trees.

136

It felt warm on my face.

137

While I was looking up I saw a a golden roof appear above the trees.

138

It was a beautiful mosque.

139

The gold roof was shining in the sunlight.

140

It looked bright and shiny.

141

I had been walking for almost an hour.

142

I was getting closer to a main road.

143

While I was walking, I saw some metal stairs.

144

I walked up the stairs.

145

At the top, I found a large community garden.

146

It was also a farm where food was grown and sold in the same place.

147

There was a small shop selling fresh produce.

148

I went inside.

149

They were selling apples in boxes at the front of the store.

150

At the back, there were vegetables in a cold fridge area.

151

They were selling orange, yellow and purple carrots,

152

plus cabbage, broccoli and mushrooms.

153

There were also jars of organic spices.

154

You could scoop the spices into paper bags to buy them.

155

Across from the shop, I looked out over the farm.

156

People were working in the garden.

157

They were watering plants, checking rows of vegetables,

158

and picking produce for harvest.

159

Some were digging in the soil and preparing new beds.

160

I walked down to explore more of the farm and found some chickens.

161

The chickens were walking around and pecking at the ground.

162

They were behind a wire fence.

163

There were olive trees growing in there with them.

164

Nearby, there were small garden plots.

165

A shovel was leaning against a fence,

166

and there were clothes that looked like a scarecrow.

167

Pink flowers were growing around the vegetables.

168

The flowers attracted bees into the garden.

169

The bees helped the plants grow by moving pollen between the flowers.

170

The flowers also looked very beautiful on their own.

171

I was enjoying my walk amongst the flowers when I saw a shed with bikes inside.

172

People were repairing bikes at the front of the shed.

173

They were fixing bikes that were broken or not working.

174

I walked back through the garden and found a nursery.

175

A nursery is a place where plants are grown and sold.

176

You could buy all kinds of plants and flowers to grow in your garden.

177

They also sold pots, barrels and potting mix.

178

Potting mix is a soft soil made for growing plants in pots.

179

They had ceramic pots in heaps of different colours too.

180

I walked down the aisles of the nursery in between the plants.

181

I walked between citrus trees that grew lemons, limes and oranges.

182

There were also seedlings of native Australian plants.

183

A seedling is a very young plant that has just started growing from a seed.

184

There were so many different kinds of plants to buy.

185

I think they grew a lot of them at the farm too.

186

It was a beautiful day walking along the creek and exploring the farm.

187

Thanks for walking with me.
