One of the best ways to improve your English is by listening to native speakers.
2
And a few weeks ago I went to Yorkshire Sculpture Park to interview people visiting there and we had a look around.
3
If you haven't seen that video, please watch it now.
4
I'll put a link on the screen.
5
Or enjoy part two.
6
so when I was a kid I used to love coming in here
7
and then when you come out it's just like open fields you know with the sculptures
8
so look come over this way
9
when I was a kid this place felt absolutely massive and now it well it doesn't strange
10
so behind me you'll notice there are some rabbits actually they're not rabbits they're just white rubbish bags
11
and i heard that the artist was driving along the road
12
and she thought she saw rabbits in the field she stopped her car looked outside
13
and it was just white plastic bags and that gave her the idea to create this.
14
What's your name, sorry?
15
Rick.
16
Rick and?
17
Susie.
18
Susie, lovely to meet you and thank you for doing this interview.
19
So what brings you to Yorkshire Sculpture Park today?
20
To see the latest exhibitions, see what's going on.
21
Yeah, okay, and do you come here often?
22
Yes, we do, yes.
23
We see most of the exhibitions.
24
Wow.
25
But we don't live so far away, so it's okay.
26
Oh, right, how far exactly?
27
20 miles.
28
20 miles okay if not nearer and uh what do you like about
29
or like what's your favorite thing about yorkshire sculpture park well i like the trees i do too actually
30
and the wildlife the lake yeah just the whole um environment really yeah it's
31
and and of course they have loads of different exhibitions in the chapel
32
and uh in the big underground um display place so yeah it's it's just lovely yeah
33
We used to come here when it was a college.
34
Wow, okay.
35
And we have friends who are students here.
36
So this was their campus.
37
When was that?
38
A rather nice campus.
39
In the 80s, 80s, 90s.
40
Oh, wow.
41
It was a teacher training college as well.
42
Yeah.
43
Wow, that's really cool, isn't it?
44
So you're both artists?
45
No, well...
46
I'm a composer, musician, but retired.
47
Oh, amazing.
48
That's really cool.
49
Right.
50
What's your favourite season?
51
Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
52
That's tricky.
53
This is one of the really nice things I mean it's obviously lovely in autumn
54
because of the autumn colours but then in the spring you get all the blossoms.
55
Late spring when the bluebells are coming out in the woods.
56
There's a wonderful wall around the lake and there's a beautiful bluebell.
57
And somewhat cooler.
58
Yeah it's actually a bit hotter than I was expecting actually.
59
It was supposed to be cloudy
60
and raining today i thought 20 chance of rain yeah
61
but no it's a lovely place to come just very relaxing
62
as well it is isn't it would you like to pick a card we could just read it out slowly
63
what do you very much want to achieve you what a peaceful life I asked the question,
64
I've got to answer it.
65
A peaceful life is a good one.
66
Survive the next 25 years I suppose, is the main ambition I think.
67
I think that's a good ambition.
68
Particularly now in the current climate, or lack of climate.
69
Okay fantastic, thank you and then you've got many to choose from.
70
I feel like I'm doing a magic trick.
71
What would you like to change about yourself?
72
Oh, gosh.
73
Be a bit more tolerant.
74
Be a bit more tolerant.
75
Yes.
76
Yeah, that's good.
77
I'll answer that one.
78
Yeah?
79
Nothing.
80
Nothing.
81
Oh, isn't that lovely?
82
Be a bit more tolerant.
83
OK, yeah.
84
So are you married, are you?
85
Yes.
86
How long have you been married for?
87
34 years.
88
54 years.
89
Any advice to, we're relatively recently married, haven't we?
90
Any advice?
91
About a successful marriage, you know, to have a successful marriage.
92
Give each other some space.
93
Patience.
94
Patience.
95
Listening.
96
Listening.
97
You say it first and you say it's okay.
98
Telling what your partner tells you to do, do it.
99
Okay, that's good advice.
100
Yeah, fantastic.
101
Well, thank you ever so much for being on the channel.
102
It's really helpful.
103
And yeah, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
104
Thank you.
105
I hope you have success with yours.
106
Thank you very much.
107
Yeah.
108
So we've filmed a few people and it's been really interesting.
109
What's so fascinating for me is, you know, when you see a stranger from across the road or something and you don't know anything about them.
110
But just from a short one or two minute conversation, you can really get a vibe, a feel of what kind of person they are.
111
And I just find it really interesting.
112
And I think for me, I always get this kind of impression that we're kind of all the same.
113
We all have these same kind of desires, hopes and dreams and fears and stuff.
114
but we kind of separate ourselves and think that we're different to others when really we're quite similar.
115
First of all, thank you so much for saying yes.
116
You haven't said what we've got to say yet.
117
So what are your names, sorry?
118
Richard.
119
Richard.
120
John.
121
John.
122
And I'm Dave.
123
Hi, Dave.
124
Hiya.
125
So what brings you to Yorkshire Sculpture Park today?
126
Just going for a walk, basically.
127
OK.
128
That's it.
129
Do you live nearby?
130
I live in Barnsley.
131
Barnsley.
132
Cool.
133
Great.
134
Sheffield.
135
Sheffield.
136
Sheffield as well.
137
We meet up every two or three weeks for a stroll somewhere, so today was here.
138
That's great, great choice.
139
We came here years ago, not together, but I came years ago when it was more
140
or less first opened and always meant to return and then Richard suggested it, so here we are.
141
We've seen it's grown.
142
So when was the last time you came here?
143
Oh, I can't remember, I can't remember at all say it hadn't been open long
144
and you can see it's grown yeah wow yes it must have changed a lot did you come here
145
when it was still a college then i can't remember i
146
can't remember it's i've been talking a long time ago yeah we yeah i came with me uh now wife
147
and my son and her grandson
148
and we just had a wander around i don't remember there being a great deal of cultures
149
so like i say it's It has definitely grown hasn't it?
150
Yeah, even over the past 15 years.
151
Yeah, absolutely.
152
And it's not your first time either?
153
I've been once or twice, can't remember.
154
I have been, brought my wife and some of my grandkids.
155
Oh great, do they like it?
156
They like some of the sculptures, obviously the giant rabbits, a big success.
157
Anything that looks like a robot.
158
No, you choose one.
159
You want to go first?
160
You go first then.
161
The meaning of life.
162
What would you do if you could wave a magic wand?
163
That's easy.
164
Yeah, I can do that.
165
I could wave one.
166
But what would you do if you get the idea?
167
I'd take John back to 1967 so he could see Frank Zucker and the Mothers of Invention.
168
That's a good one, isn't it?
169
That's a good one.
170
Yeah, a really good one.
171
OK, your turn.
172
A bit small font.
173
Which unfortunate emotional traits have you inherited from your parents?
174
Sorry about the question.
175
Oh dear, which unfortunate emotional traits have you inherited from your parents?
176
That's difficult, isn't it?
177
I think I can be a bit...
178
Nasty with it.
179
No. Emotional?
180
I can sometimes feel difficult to express emotions.
181
Because my parents weren't particularly emotional.
182
They weren't very...
183
Kind of that generation.
184
Yeah.
185
we're very touchy-feely so I think I've sort of inherited that
186
so I would say that yeah yeah yeah
187
so there's a word there's a term for it these days a emotional neglect I think it's called something like that
188
so yeah I think that's okay great well thank you both
189
for answering can I can I do one yeah for you
190
oh for me yeah oh no one's ever done asked me
191
that before so you have to hold them and I'll pick them out.
192
Oh yeah, fair enough.
193
Oh this is fun.
194
Okay.
195
Well we've got to be honest.
196
Yeah, oh god I don't like this question.
197
What are your biggest mistakes?
198
I'm stuck in these two.
199
My biggest mistake is not starting sooner.
200
That's a good one.
201
Yeah.
202
And that would be for this channel.
203
So for example I wanted to start about 19, 20 years ago and it took me that long to, because you have to really pluck up the courage to go up to people
204
and ask them if they want to be filmed and stuff
205
and you get rejected and then
206
when you put it online people might give you good comments people might give you mean comments
207
and or comments that might you know yeah probably the wrong way
208
or whatever and uh yeah
209
so that's what it would be yeah starting sooner well thank you very much yep cheers lovely to meet you
210
and you have a good walk
211
and uh yeah cheers this is what it's all about guys walking through nature and discovering these amazing sculptures on the way
212
wow look at it reminds me of an amethyst stone i
213
think anyway let's keep going let's keep going around wow i
214
just love this tree i feel like my nana would absolutely love it so i'm here with Mark and Paulina.
215
And is it your first time here?
216
Second time.
217
Second time.
218
Second time too.
219
Okay, so what brought you back then I should say?
220
Well we wanted to see the Henry Moores, because we remembered them from last time.
221
And there was the American Indian exhibition, so that was another reason to come back.
222
Because we don't live that far away.
223
Okay, great.
224
What thing in the underground gallery, the contemporary Indigenous Native American stuff, any particular pieces that stood out for you?
225
I like the photographs, because I'm a photographer.
226
Yeah, I can see that.
227
So that was my highlight of that place.
228
You like the tapestry stuff?
229
Yeah, I like the tapestry, so there was some very powerful tapestry,
230
and I especially found the photograph of the women with the red paint on their mouth quite moving.
231
So I found the whole exhibition quite moving because it dealt with the topics that I think are very contemporary,
232
but I'm a weaver, or I'm trying to become a weaver.
233
So the tapestries were the most interesting thing, but that photograph had a very strong emotional impact for me.
234
Absolutely.
235
What got you into weaving?
236
Well, good question.
237
I've just retired and I come originally from Latin America.
238
And thinking about what to do when I retire, I'd like to do something artistic and painting is too complex, too many things, while weaving takes me back to,
239
it's linked to family history.
240
I like that you can play with colours and textures and it's taking me back more to my roots.
241
So it gives me the opportunity to think more about the history of my family, that sort of thing.
242
Amazing.
243
Yeah.
244
And what kind of photography do you like?
245
I mainly do seascapes. Do you?
246
Yeah.
247
So we go to the coast a lot.
248
I'm photographing some of the statues here and the sculptures as well.
249
But that's not my main thing.
250
What is it that attracts you the most about seascapes then?
251
Its beaches are flat and I've got arthritis so it's easy.
252
I used to do landscapes but I can't do the hills anymore so Right, right.
253
I tend seascapes are easier on the legs.
254
Wow yeah I like the photographer.
255
Is his name Philip Plesson or something?
256
Do you know him?
257
No. I don't know if that's his name.
258
I might have cut that out.
259
You go first.
260
Okay so pick one and then please read it out.
261
What would you try to achieve if you didn't worry about what other people thought?
262
I never worry about what other people think.
263
Oh wow.
264
So it doesn't bother me.
265
What's a way to live?
266
So I don't care what people think.
267
My photography, people don't like it.
268
It doesn't make any difference to me whatsoever.
269
What's the secret to that?
270
I'll carry on doing my own thing.
271
Do you have a secret
272
or a technique of not caring about what other people think of you? or is that your nature?
273
I think it's partly my nature, but I think if you want to be artistic, you have to be your own person and do your own direct thing.
274
I don't think, you can look at other artists and get influenced by them, but at the end of the day, it's up to you to decide what you want to do,
275
not what other people think of it.
276
Wow, that's such a great answer.
277
That's it.
278
Yeah, great.
279
Okay, well, thank you very much.
280
And then it's your turn.
281
Yeah.
282
I knew you'd say that.
283
I don't care what.
284
You've been married a long time.
285
So, oh, this is a double whammy, this one.
286
What do you normally worry about?
287
What would you worry about if you couldn't worry about those things?
288
You can choose a different one if you don't like it.
289
No, I do worry about lots of things at different levels.
290
I also worry a lot about political, societal things.
291
I worry a lot about societal things, about poverty, about a society that's becoming less and less inclusive,
292
more and more cutting the opportunities of people.
293
So I worry a lot about that.
294
I also worry a lot about my own family.
295
Until recently, I was looking after my mother who had bad health.
296
She passed away.
297
I looked after my father.
298
I also looked after my daughter who had bad health problems
299
so I worry a lot about that that sort of personal issues
300
and again what sort of support exists for those people now
301
if I didn't have to worry about those things what would be worried well I'd probably sort of try
302
and do more thinking more about art and colour and
303
that sort of thing that are not you know not the big questions of society
304
but more about how to express what is it that I'm trying to express, that sort of more existential thing about my own self.
305
But I haven't really had time to do that.
306
Yeah, understandable.
307
That's the answer.
308
It's been really lovely to meet you both.
309
Thank you.
310
Great talking to you.
311
Thank you for being on the channel today.
312
You're welcome.
313
So I'm here with...
314
Susanna.
315
Susanna and...
316
Chloe.
317
Chloe.
318
And we are heading to the chapel.
319
Where are you two heading?
320
We're heading towards Henry Moore.
321
OK.
322
And he's going to be our sort of last bit of our journey, really.
323
We thought we'd end with Henry.
324
Aha.
325
And we've loved it.
326
We've loved just walking around the lake and the grounds, which are stunning, and then being up close and personal with these incredible sculptures,
327
leaving us with more questions than answers.
328
Oh.
329
So, did you say it's your first time here?
330
It's my first time here.
331
Because it sounds like you're, I don't know, a seasoned art critic or something.
332
Yeah, we both love art.
333
You both love art.
334
You tell them where you are and the art you see a lot.
335
Wait, I don't want to dox myself.
336
Can I speak on your behalf?
337
I don't know.
338
A bit.
339
Chloe's in a beautiful architectural environment, let's put it that way.
340
And she shares her cultural experiences with me on a WhatsApp regularly,
341
which I love because she's an academic
342
and very clever, I think this is me talking for her
343
and very interesting but she has this wonderful sort of cultural
344
so she searches out lovely cultural things and sharing
345
that with me at my end of my life as against
346
my niece's young it's lovely it's a sort of nice joining of the minds of young and old so
347
so i've saved coming until clearly could come and stay and we could have a trip together that's really nice.
348
We didn't do a lot of research, I have many friends who have been many times and
349
so I'm the last in place to get there but yeah
350
so but it's been lovely so far and we've got more to do.
351
Yeah and Chloe you can hold it if you like, what kind of academia are you in like?
352
I'm doing maths at uni.
353
Maths?
354
Yeah I really like it and it's kind of like it's like a weirdly creative subject
355
so um really yeah like weirdly like you kind of really have to think of outside the box
356
when you're trying to prove new things
357
so um i think it's kind of been interesting to see
358
like these two different types of creativity in my life right like the the maths
359
that i'm used to and then like kind of coming here
360
and almost like using a different part of my brain to try
361
and appreciate art and yeah with my very artistic aunt
362
and everything so and i i do not understand the maths language yeah we talk
363
and i make her tell me things and i don't understand any of it
364
so the translation is poor for me
365
but then we find something like this where we can meeting
366
of the minds yeah you're literally on the same page and
367
and chloe's interest of math in life what you what we
368
use it for yeah interests me whether it's in biology
369
or i don't know everything is well it's a way to
370
describe the universe as well isn't it you know it's it's
371
yeah i'd love to to have a go absolutely fantastic
372
so here are the cards we both have a go do
373
we yep you'll each have a turn you want to go first
374
so you can pick a card does it say meaning that's really interesting
375
because 10 minutes ago I said I'm coming away with
376
so many meanings not clear isn't
377
that interesting we actually said we need a meaning for so many things didn't we so okay if you dared
378
what would you be more like?
379
Oh gosh, what would I be more like?
380
An owl.
381
An owl?
382
Why is that?
383
Because they have great wisdom, they do weird things with their head, they can see things underground,
384
they can listen and hear and they live at night and they live in the day and they're spooky and they're beautiful.
385
Would you say you're more nocturnal as a person?
386
I think I could be, I'm not, but I think the night is fascinating. But they're just beautiful.
387
Owls are beautiful from that side.
388
They are, they really are.
389
Great answer.
390
Bonkers answer.
391
I love it though.
392
I absolutely love it.
393
I love it so much.
394
You have no idea.
395
What might surprise people if they really knew you?
396
Ooh, maybe it's sort of...
397
I don't know what surprises you about me.
398
I'll tell you what surprised me that's terrible isn't it
399
and this is this is in appreciation
400
that with her amount of work she has to do for
401
her studies she still has understood the balance of life
402
and needing to get into the world enjoy architecture enjoy trees enjoy nature her balance is really healthy
403
and I that is good for me yeah
404
so she's very good to be it's rare to find someone who really knows the balance of life to be honest.
405
And it's innate, nobody's told her to do it, she's just done it.
406
You talk a lot about architecture but you're doing maths at the moment, so what's this architecture angle about?
407
Because she sends me pictures of lovely buildings.
408
I just appreciate a good building, you know, I think sort of looking around you, you know, we're always kind of looking down at our phones these days,
409
it's kind of, it's good to really just like take a beat
410
and look around you and I think sometimes using technology
411
and you know you don't have to cut out all technology but using it to connect with other people, show people what you've been seeing,
412
what you've been doing, starting that conversation it really helps build connections in life and keep connections strong I think.
413
Yeah, yeah.
414
What's your favourite type of architecture?
415
Do you have a favourite style or like for example you know the kind of brutalist architecture or classical gothic.
416
I appreciate both or all kinds really.
417
I do enjoy a bit of a bit of a brutalist structure.
418
I think that's quite interesting just the way that I think but obviously like
419
old beautiful architecture is something completely different so I don't know I think it just depends what mood I'm in.
420
Okay great.
421
All right, so I'm here with...
422
Oliver.
423
Oliver.
424
Alex.
425
Alex, nice to meet you and thank you for doing this interview.
426
So, what brings you to Yorkshire Sculpture Park today?
427
We're actually driving back down from Scotland all the way back down to London.
428
So we thought we'd stop off and also I came here about 18 years ago
429
my parents and my family so I thought it'd be a cool place to stop off
430
and see it all those years later.
431
What a story, eh?
432
Wow and well I need to ask you then how has it changed
433
or your memory of it and then until now if you have much memory.
434
I can only remember a few sculptures and they're still here
435
so I can't really say yes it has changed or hasn't changed.
436
It's a new experience and not a new experience so it's good.
437
Okay and is it your first time here?
438
Yeah I've never been before, Yeah.

At the moment I'm just working for a pharma company, but we're both actually moving back to New Zealand in less than a month.
472
I've only just heard your accent.
473
Yeah.
474
I only just noticed that.
475
I was born in New Zealand and Oliver was born here in Blesley.
476
And then you moved over, what, like 18 years ago?
477
17 years ago?
478
Oh, sorry.
479
Moved over?
480
My whole family moved to New Zealand.
481
And then we've been living here in the UK the last two years.
482
Wow.
483
Why did you leave New Zealand?
484
It looks incredible.
485
It's just small and you know there's so much of the world outside of New Zealand.
486
It's hard to get to places, travelling time and price and everything.
487
So yeah, we've just done some travelling around Europe and just seeing the rest of the world.
488
But yeah, time to go home.
489
Any favourite place on this European tour?
490
Italy's very nice.
491
Italy?
492
Where did you go in Italy?
493
All over.
494
All over.
495
Any favourite place?
496
Venice was nice, Florence was very good, Pompeii was amazing.
497
Yeah.
498
I'm going to take my wife to Florence I think.
499
It's my favorite place.
500
I have to take her, but I need to learn Italian first.
501
What's your Italian like?
502
We manage to survive with very little.
503
Oh really?
504
Just English.
505
Okay.
506
You pick up, you know, certain bits, but generally just surviving them, being nice.
507
Absolutely.
508
Would you recommend someone to visit New Zealand?
509
Definitely.
510
Yeah.
511
Yeah, for sure.
512
What would you say is like, what are some of the three top things that someone should do if they go to New Zealand?
513
They should do a camper van tour around the South Island.
514
That's always good to do.
515
Okay.
516
I think my sister did that.
517
Yeah, that's probably the best way to see most of the country.
518
It's just to drive it.
519
Yeah, well in the North Island, definitely check out the beaches.
520
Yeah, both the West and the East Coast are great.
521
You get different vibes.
522
Yeah, if you're into surfing, then it's the West Coast.
523
But if you want just more family-friendly beaches, it's the East. But yeah.
524
Absolutely.
525
Yeah okay so pick a card don't pick from the bottom
526
because the people have already answered them all right
527
so one second okay if you couldn't fail what would you do um
528
if i couldn't fail probably try
529
and start um a business where i mean aims to help people
530
but but generally i'm currently in the pharmaceutical industry um and
531
if i couldn't fail i'd try and make a less
532
or non-for-profit pharmaceutical company but those don't really exist but um
533
but if yeah if i couldn't fail then yeah just trying to give access to medicine
534
and health care to everyone else that when do you feel most alive um probably when i'm out in nature
535
yeah like i love going for walks in the woods i love uh fishing so being doing that and being outside.
536
Anything that's where I'm at outdoors is the best time to be alive.
537
Yeah, amazing.
538
I always wondered about fishing, right?
539
Because I'm interested in fishing, but you can't just start by yourself.
540
I don't feel like I could just buy a rod and some bait and just sit on a river and...
541
You could try.
542
I could try, couldn't I?
543
I could try, but probably fail.
544
And so how does one get into fishing?
545
I was brought up doing it.
546
So there you go.
547
So my dad and my grandfather loved doing it.
548
But also most fishermen are very keen to teach other people to fish.
549
So you just need to find someone that will teach you.
550
Okay.
551
Do you also like fishing?
552
I come along.
553
Most of the trips I'm reading and watching the fish.
554
But there are times when you grab a jet ski and go on the water in New Zealand and just fish.
555
And that's fun.
556
I enjoy doing that on the back of the jet ski.
557
There's that TV show what's it called uh it's bob mortimer
558
and someone else and it's gone what's it called uh gone fishing gone fishing i i love
559
that i love watching that when i can't sleep at night yeah that
560
that that's half a fishing show half just uh just chatting
561
just just friends yeah it's actually a fun fun show
562
that yeah anyway guys thank you for being our last interview of the day um i'm really happy
563
i i asked you both to uh do it
564
so thank you enjoy the rest of your day safe travels back thank you
565
and good luck with everything wow what an amazing day i
566
really didn't expect it was going to be like this we met some truly incredible people um all creative
567
and thoughtful reflective and just really wonderful to talk to
568
and it makes me think that i want to speak to strangers more often i hope
569
that doesn't sound weird but i feel like maybe we should talk to each other more
570
and uh we have more in common than we think we do.
571
Anyway, I'd better find the car because I don't know where I am,
572
but thank you so much for watching and of course we'll see you in another episode.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
