ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: Morning routine and dog walking in Australia | English Listening Practice

Hi there!

Today we're learning English while I do my morning routine and we take our dogs for a walk to the park.

This week we're house sitting and pet sitting, which means we're looking after someone else's house and their dog while the owner is away.

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 while exploring real places around Melbourne and Australia.

In this series, I've used the 3,000 most common English words to help you learn quickly through comprehensible input.

I make new videos every week, so please subscribe to see them every Sunday.

Okay, let's go for a walk.

Once I've woken up in the morning, I'll make sure that the bed we're staying in is made.

I'll pull the sheets up and fix the pillows so the bed looks neat and tidy.

Then I'll head into the bathroom.

I'm going to wash my face with water.

I'll turn the tap on and wash my face over the sink.

After that, I'll dry my face with a towel.

I'll apply some moisturiser to my face so my skin doesn't feel dry.

Then I'll put on sunscreen.

Because I live in Australia, I wear sunscreen every single day.

The sun here is very strong, even in the morning.

I'll use this black comb to brush my hair.

My hair is very long, so it can get knotty.

Knotty hair is when your hair gets twisted and stuck together.

I'll brush it slowly to make it smooth again.

This is a curling wand.

I use it to make my hair wavy.

It heats up so you can style your hair.

I'll plug it into the outlet on the wall and turn the power on.

Then I'll press this button and wait for it to heat up.

These are hair clips.

I'll use them to hold back my hair away from my face.

This makes it a little easier to style my hair.

After I'm finished in the bathroom, I'll head to the kitchen for a glass of water.

I'll fill my glass from the tap and take a few sips.

I also want to make some tea, so I'll fill the kettle with water too.

I'll close the lid and flick the switch on.

The kettle will start to boil, which means the water will bubble and get very hot.

Behind the kettle is a toaster.

I might use that later.

I found a mug and placed a tea strainer inside it.

This morning I've decided to have chrysanthemum tea.

is a type of flour.

While the kettle is boiling I'll scoop some dried flowers into the strainer.

Now that the kettle has boiled I'll pour the hot water through the strainer and into the mug.

I'll let the tea sit for a few minutes so that the tea can brew.

After a few minutes when my tea has brewed, I'll remove the strainer.

I'm also adding some pear that I've cut up into small pieces.

I'm not sure if other people make tea like this, but I enjoy it.

It adds a light, sweet flavour and you can eat the soft pears at the end.

I'll tip the used flowers and pear scraps into the compost bin.

Compost is food waste that breaks down and is used to help plants grow.

This is my dog Martha.

She's sitting in her bed with her favourite toy.

She's just woken up and still looks a little sleepy.

I'm going to do some stretching.

I'll lay out my yoga mat next to Martha.

Sometimes she likes to sit on the mat with me.

I also have a foam roller to help with sore muscles.

It's useful for muscles that feel tight or painful.

Now it's time to feed the dogs.

The bigger dog on the left is Nugget.

He's Here's the dog we're pet sitting and he lives in this house.

Nugget and Martha are best friends.

We'll open this big bag of dog food and scoop some kibble into Martha's bowl.

Kibble is dry dog food made of small hard pieces.

Martha has been waiting very eagerly for her breakfast.

We'll tip it into the bowl so she can eat.

Wait, Martha, take!

While Nugget is eating his breakfast in the other room, Martha is crunching her kibble.

She ate it very quickly.

Now that the dogs have eaten, we need to take them outside for a walk.

Martha is using her paws to scratch herself.

She might be a little itchy.

Alright, now she's ready for her walk.

Nugget is a medium-sized dog, and Martha is quite small.

Nugget is bigger than Martha.

They both have light-coloured fur, and it's very soft.

Nugget is sitting calmly.

Martha is wagging her tail and looks very excited to go outside.

We'll put the collars on both dogs.

This is Martha's green collar.

It goes around her neck and buckles up.

Her lead is made of green rope.

Attached to it is a small roll of bags to pick up dog poo.

We'll clip the lead onto her collar.

Nugget has a black lead.

He's happy to start walking down the street.

They've stopped to sniff the grass.

Dogs love to smell things because they learn about the world through scent.

It turns out that they needed to poo, so we've picked it up with a bag.

We're walking along the footpath.

The dogs have tangled their leads.

Martha has stopped to sniff and Nugget has stopped to scratch.

We'll keep walking together along the footpath until we reach the park.

At the entrance we'll put the dog poo in the bin.

Here the dogs can walk without their leaves.

It's quite windy this morning.

You can see the leaves moving in the trees.

We've spotted a magpie on the ground.

A magpie is a common Australian bird with black and white feathers.

100

We want the dogs to get some exercise, so we'll run up this hill.

101

Nugget ran straight up.

102

Martha walked it first, but with a bit of encouragement she started running too.

103

They're sniffing the ground again.

104

They're very curious about the scent.

105

There are lots of new smells up here.

106

Nugget and Martha are best friends but they have different personalities.

107

Nugget is obedient which means he listens well and follows commands.

108

Martha is more opportunistic.

109

She's always hoping food will fall on the ground so she can eat it quickly.

110

They're both very cute and loveable.

111

Because they followed their command, we'll give them a treat.

112

The weather has been very hot lately.

113

The grass has turned dry and yellow.

114

The clouds in the sky look big and fluffy.

115

Over there, a family is playing cricket together.

116

Cricket is a popular sport in Australia.

117

There's lots of open space in this park to throw and hit the ball.

118

Let's run back down the hill.

119

Nugget ran off straight away.

120

Martha waited because she likes everyone to stay together and she didn't want to leave me on top of the hill.

121

She is very sweet.

122

The dogs have been very well behaved today.

123

They haven't been barking.

124

Barking is the loud sound dogs make when they're excited or upset.

125

I'll give Martha a little scratch.

126

She is very affectionate, which means that she loves attention and touch.

127

She loves to be pat.

128

They're walking past a playground now.

129

We'll put the dogs back on their leads because there are children playing.

130

They've stopped again to sniff around this rock.

131

There must be something interesting to smell here too.

132

Do you have any pets?

133

Dogs and cats are probably the most common types of pets in Australia.

134

When I was growing up, we had a goldfish in a tank.

135

Fish are also very common pets that are easy to take care of.

136

Some people also have birds, rabbits or guinea pigs.

137

Would you like to own a pet?

138

Pets need food, water, exercise and care every day.

139

They can be a big responsibility but they can be great company too.

140

We're walking around a small pond.

141

Dogs aren't allowed to swim in here, but it's a nice place to walk.

142

There are ducks swimming in the water.

143

These ducks aren't anyone's pets, but they're used to people being around.

144

There's a water fountain here on the side of the footpath.

145

People can drink from the top, and dogs can drink from the bowl below.

146

I'll fill it up so the dogs can have a drink.

147

Let's take this path to head home.

148

There's a ladder leaning near the house nearby.

149

The house is having maintenance done, which means it's being fixed or repaired.

150

A tradesperson is working on the roof outside the window.

151

That's someone whose job it is to build or repair things.

152

There's a young boy standing on the jetty over there.

153

It looks like he's fishing.

154

Another boy has pulled up on his scooter.

155

He's put his scooter next to the other boy's bike.

156

It seems like they want to fish together in the pond.

157

We're heading back home now.

158

Martha is walking close to the wall to stay in the shade.

159

Sometimes these dogs can be very slow walkers.

160

On the way we'll grab a couple of free poo bags.

161

Some neighbourhoods provide these to help keep the streets clean.

162

We've made it back to the house.

163

We'll unclip the leads and the dogs will come inside when we say the command.

164

They're sitting very patiently because they know a treat is coming.

165

Come, come!

166

Here are their dog treats.

167

I'll open the packet and make them shake paws for a treat.

168

I think it's funny because it's like we're shaking hands and agreeing that they deserve a treat.

169

Now we're back in the kitchen making some coffees.

170

I've placed two mugs in front of the coffee machine.

171

The mugs have a pink and red triangle pattern.

172

I'm using soy milk in our coffees today.

173

This is the portafilter.

174

I'll place it underneath the grinder and and press the button to grind coffee beans into the basket.

175

I'll push the button again to stop grinding the coffee beans.

176

I'll make sure that the coffee sits flat and is packed into the portafilter.

177

Then I'll twist it into the machine.

178

The two mugs go in underneath.

179

When I turn the dial to the left, the water heats up and the coffee starts to pour out into each of the mugs.

180

You can see little bubbles forming on the top of the coffee.

181

Then I'll pour some soy milk into this little metal jug and steam the milk.

182

The milk is swirling around.

183

I'll pour the milk into the mug with the coffee
