Today we are flying to China.

With tensions between China and the West, the lengthy visa process and the recent pandemic, China has become unknown to the outside world.

And over the next four weeks, we will be travelling through the country and seeing what it's really like.

We're currently in Heathrow Airport and are about to fly to Beijing, China.

How are you feeling about flying to China?

A little bit nervous, but very excited.

I think now we've got through security, our visas have worked, now the excitement comes.

We boarded the plane ready for the 10 hour flight ahead of us.

We know China is going to be different from anywhere else we've travelled.

With no understanding of the language and no tour guide, this will be one of our craziest travel adventures yet.

We've got our backpacks and now it's time to try and navigate the Beijing metro system.

Oh good luck to us.

Luckily it's in English.

Right let's find an ATM.

So one of the difficulties about China is you can't always use cash.

You've got to use these online apps.

We're going to try and get some cash out here at the airport so that we don't mess up anything.

I can't see ATM anywhere else.

We might need to ask someone.

Do you know if there's an ATM here?

ATM?

Oh yeah we got cash.

Oh wow look at that.

That's a lot of cash.

We can pay for stuff.

One of the first things we've seen is these panda sleeping pots.

How cool is this?

I kind of just want to stay in the airport, but we should probably go to our hotel.

What's the direction we're heading?

B1, down.

All right, let's go.

We have no idea how this metro system is going to work.

Hopefully we can pay by cash or maybe use Alipay because that's one of the methods you can use to pay, and we have that sorted.

Oh, here we go.

Signed to the subway.

Follow this blue thing.

we have our ticket to the subway station where we can get off

and go straight to our hotel we haven't been able to

use alipay yet i don't know why it's not really working

but because we got cash out we've just been using that and it has been working pretty well

right line 10 we've just arrived at the station where our hotel is

and i can smell rain in the air this is the

first time we are going outside in china escaped the transport system

and we are out in the open these are our first sites of beijing this is crazy it feels

so different to anywhere else i've been even when we're in shanghai

because if you don't know last year we actually went to shanghai

but just for four days we did like a transit visa but this is our first proper time in

china where we're going to be exploring the whole country

so we have just checked into our hotel our first hotel here in china

and it is a really nice room it's costing us about 50 pounds a night

look what i just found i was just exploring the room

and i have never seen this before

but this is a fire escape hood in all our travels

i've never seen this maybe this is a common thing in in China.

Hopefully we don't have to use it but it looks cool.

We're going to look for some dinner.

We've only been walking five minutes and the only cars we've seen, the only bikes we've seen have all been electric.

It's like we're in the future.

Look this is an electric car.

That's an electric car.

I don't know if you can see but there is like 10 different cameras up there on the road.

There is cameras everywhere here.

It's quite intimidating because we can't look up anything think online about restaurants because everything's in Chinese,

menus, all the prices, so we've just got to be confident and just walk into somewhere and order something random.

I think that's our best bet.

Yeah, we've just got to wing it.

Right, we've seen this restaurant in here and we're just going to go for it.

We're just going to try and eat in there.

We have no idea what they serve or how much anything is but we're sat down.

We're trying to read the menu and we're just looking at the pictures

because everything's in chinese we've ordered our meal

and they've just ordered some water

but it's actually like boiling hot water like it's our petal i almost can't hold it

it's very hot whoa look at

that got some chicken rice i'm not sure what the sauce is

but it looks so good right now we have no idea

if we're eating this meal properly because they gave us a spoon

but then we also have chopsticks chopsticks is the right thing for this

but tell me about them yeah they might have just given us a spoon

because we look very very foreign the chicken tastes

so good doesn't it really good

and a massive size portion as well also ordered these like

little lamb kebab thingies i don't know they were offering them so we thought why not let's grab some

oh they smell good really good actually are they now we

have to pay using wechat using this qr code here

so i'm gonna give that a go i'm on the wechat

and i'm gonna scan this thing and let's see what

so this is our order order has come to 84 here we go i'm gonna type in my password

and hopefully It pays. Does that work?

The operation requires visiting the bank's page for verifications.

Okay, well that hasn't worked.

That's probably my bank.

You paid?

Yeah.

It worked.

Only check.

That's a first.

That's going to make life in China so much easier.

Oh yeah.

100

That was a great first meal in China.

101

It was a little bit stressful because we weren't sure if we were going to pay, but obviously it worked out in the end.

102

Very excited for the next couple of days here in Beijing.

103

Good morning guys, it is our first full day here in Beijing

104

and we're going to jump straight on the metro and head right into the deep heart of the city.

105

Just got our metro tickets.

106

One of the issues we've had with the metro is we always have to go to the person

107

because when we use the machines it asks for ID and we don't have Chinese ID obviously.

108

So if you are a foreigner you have to go to the person most of the time.

109

One of the crazy things about the metro here is

110

that there's safety metro officers in almost every carriage here in Beijing

111

and there was some guy sitting on the floor

112

and he clicked record on his little camera thing and then recorded him and said something to him.

113

I don't know if it was get up but it really was quite a weird circumstance, I don't know why but yeah there's a lot of safety officers everywhere.

114

We've just arrived at our first spot and there is a lot of people around.

115

It is a Saturday but it seems so busy.

116

We don't really know where we're going.

117

We're just following all these crowds in this direction and hopefully it'll take us somewhere.

118

Cool.

119

This signpost is not really helpful for us.

120

It's something left and something right. Which way?

121

Left.

122

Okay.

123

Okay.

124

This is so cool it's so big this is what you always see

125

when you think of beijing this is the thing

126

which always pops up this is the temple of heaven everyone

127

in china loves all the photos look at them there's just a line everyone's having photos taken for their instagrams

128

or whatever the chinese equivalent is i guess okay this is

129

quite overwhelming right now there is just there's just people everywhere

130

and we are probably there must be some other foreigners here

131

but we haven't seen any yet

132

that was quite nice we were just talking to you guys

133

and then this lady comes up

134

and offers to take a photo for us completely in chinese obviously

135

so we didn't understand anything but really friendly i've just seen something

136

so cool these kids have like ice lollies

137

but they are in the shape of the temple

138

and i want to get one of those oh yeah i'm gonna find one Chocolate.

139

Do you know what you have to eat with mango?

140

Chocolate.

141

Yeah.

142

Mango.

143

So look at this, it's a Temple of Heaven ice cream.

144

A chocolate one.

145

And what have you got?

146

I've got a mango.

147

Look how cool this is!

148

The detail on this ice cream is absolutely incredible.

149

Not only is it a really cool ice cream, it actually tastes so good.

150

Yeah.

151

This is a good tempest.

152

We're getting a photo with this guy.

153

He wants a little tripod shot with us.

154

I want to try that one.

155

Thank you.

156

Ah, si si.

157

We probably should have expected it, but there was so many people inside that temple.

158

Kind of part of the atmosphere here, isn't it?

159

Let's jump on the tube and head to our next spot.

160

No idea what this means, warm tips.

161

Does that mean hot tips, like travel tips?

162

this noodles look

163

so good i don't know what we're going to mix in

164

maybe some of this into there give it a little go

165

It doesn't look that good but I think we've got to be brave and just mix it into the bowl of noodles.

166

Yeah we've got to go for it.

167

I have no idea what this is.

168

No. We just saw a guy with these noodles and we were like yeah that looks good let's get them.

169

I'm so bad with chopsticks at the moment because it's been a while since we've used them.

170

so right now we're in the grounds very close to the Tiananmen Square

171

which is a very important part of Beijing and China

172

and right here you can see this massive building in front of us looks crazy

173

I think through these gates and into here is how you get into the square

174

but this area is very highly guarded with loads of police

175

so there we just got asked for our passports and I think

176

that means we can actually go in the square now I'm not sure it seems really odd

177

because it looks like this is the old way to get into this area

178

but right now it seems closed like you can't go inside

179

so we read online since 2021 you actually have to make a reservation to go into Tiananmen Square

180

but it is completely quiet around there so we don't think

181

that it's open today we're not really sure maybe someone on

182

here can actually tell us why the amount of police checkpoints

183

and police in this area is crazy and they have these big police buses I don't know what they are but

184

they're pretty cool.

185

After that attempt to try and get into Tinaman Square we are now on this busy

186

touristy walking street so I think in this area we can try some little bits and yeah see what we see.

187

What is going on in here?

188

This shop just feels so random look at all these ducks just wobbling on the wall

189

and then all sorts of random little treats, milk bottles, I don't even know what it is but it's just random stuff.

190

A little gun here, it is Madame Tussauds but in Beijing

191

so there's probably a load of people we have no idea

192

what they are who they are Audrey Hepburn all right we know her

193

so we're gonna try and order a DD

194

and a DD is basically like an uber in China

195

so I'm just trying to order it now I'm not sure

196

it's gonna work this is actually the first time we've used

197

it okay someone we've we've got someone we've been taking photos and he should be here

198

people on a bus like a tour bus we're just taking photos outside the coach

199

or bus you gotta love it in china there's a traffic light

200

which is counting down from 10 and and 10 9 8 7 you see

201

that and that i'm guessing is when the traffic light is going to be green

202

that is mental that's crazy so the traffic lights must be attached to the app

203

or maybe like the government

204

or something i don't know everything is connected in china i have never seen anything like

205

that that is pretty crazy this might be him yeah yeah we're in the dd

206

that was pretty easy to to be honest wasn't it?

207

How much was it?

208

I think it was only 13 won.

209

Bye bye.

210

So we have just arrived at Jing Shang Park, which is one of the viewpoint areas in the city.

211

Wow this is cool look up there.

212

It's pretty.

213

It looks like an oriental Chinese garden.

214

Except it's probably just a garden because we're in China.

215

Yeah.

216

Look up there Joel.

217

Oh wow.

218

That's what I'm saying.

219

Look how cool that is.

220

We've got to try and get up there.

221

That looks quite high almost almost yeah it does i think

222

that's where the viewpoint of the city will be not bad

223

this is only 22p each we have not reached the top yet

224

but we've got our first little viewpoint

225

and i think in the distance is the 10th tallest building in the world

226

and it is

227

so much higher than anything else now we're a bit later

228

in the day i've actually realized it looks like there's a little bit more of smold around

229

if you watched our video a year ago of shanghai it's such a high-rise city there

230

but beijing has such a different feel it feels a lot

231

more historical a lot more gardens a lot more like lower buildings apart from that one which is obviously ridiculously tall

232

very good we have reached the top of Jing Shang Park the viewpoint here whoa that looks so cool

233

Oh my gosh.

234

It's so nice all throughout this park.

235

They've got this music playing in the background and it's so calming.

236

And the views over the city are just so...

237

Sounds like I'm in Disney.

238

The views over the city are so beautiful.

239

Definitely worth coming up to just to get a perspective of this huge city.

240

Because it just seems to go on forever.

241

We've spent quite a bit of time outside today.

242

So I think we're gonna head back to the hotel before we go and have dinner tonight, which I'm very much looking forward to

243

So this evening we are going to a restaurant to have something

244

which is a speciality here in Beijing So the funny thing is

245

when you think of Chinese food It's very different here in China compared to back home the British Chinese food, which is very different But this speciality is actually quite famous.

246

Wow, it looks busy here

247

One of the things we didn't mention is we've just arrived in one of the most popular restaurants in Beijing

248

so we have what looks like an hour or so wait but we don't really know.

249

We can't read it what she's written.

250

And the rest of it's in Chinese so we're just going to wait and see how long it is.

251

So after two and a half hours of waiting we have finally sat down

252

and honestly it feels very fancy more fancier than I think we've done in quite a while.

253

We have ordered half the cooking duck which is famous here in Beijing

254

and you probably had it at the takeaway before like the crispy duck wraps

255

but I think this is gonna be next level.

256

Because this is also supposed to be Michelin style hopefully.

257

We don't actually know that but we've also got these beautiful noodles as a side. Is it actually?

258

Right let's taste this thing.

259

Wow that's like a really deep flavour isn't it?

260

Yeah it is.

261

And there's like a nice level of spice in there.

262

It's not too much but it's like flavourful.

263

Well that was quite an eventful meal wasn't it?

264

It very, very was.

265

Well we are back from dinner now and I'm a little bit shocked

266

that we waited 2 hours 20 minutes just for some duck.

267

I don't think I've ever done that in my life.

268

Yes, it was very good, but worth that long away, I'm not too sure.

269

But if you are in Beijing, obviously you've got to try the pecking duck because it is very tasty.

270

Personally, it was a little bit too fatty for my taste.

271

There wasn't enough duck meat there, but it was still tasted pretty good.

272

It was a little bit of a shock first day, learning how to use WeChat, the subway, all that kind of stuff.

273

Anyway, guys thank you so much watching this video we will see you in the next one

FOR YOU

為什麼這個影片是絕佳的口語練習素材？

這段影片記錄了外國人初到北京24小時的真實經歷，對話充滿生活化的表達和自然的情緒起伏，非常適合用來練習雅思口語或提高英語發音。影片裡的臺詞沒有刻意的語法堆砌，比如“a little bit nervous but very excited”這種口語化的表達，和雅思口語考試中“描述感受”的場景高度契合。此外，對話中還包含大量實用短句，比如“how are you feeling about...”“we have no idea...”，這些都是日常交流和考試中高頻出現的表達，能幫助學習者快速積累“接地氣”的口語素材。

拆解3句最自然的表達

“we know China is going to be different from anywhere else we've traveled”：這句話的自然之處在於“different from anywhere else we've traveled”的結構，避免了生硬的“very different”。學習者可以模仿這種“比較級+定語從句”的用法，讓表達更豐富。
“we just got to wing it right”：“wing it”是典型的口語短語，意為“隨機應變”。在雅思口語中，使用這類習語能讓回答更生動，給考官留下深刻印象。
“it's so good right now”：簡單的“so good”加上“right now”，精準傳達了當下的感受。這種簡潔卻有畫面感的表達，正是口語練習的重點——用最少的詞傳遞最真實的情緒。

跟著影片練口語的超簡單方法

想要通過這個影片練好shadowing（影子跟讀法），可以試試“重複-錄音-對比”的迴圈法。首先，找到影片中1-2分鐘的片段（比如機場取錢或地鐵問路的部分），播放一句暫停，跟著重複，注意模仿語氣和語調。然後用手機錄下自己的發音，再和原影片對比，重點關注“nervous”“excited”等詞的重音，以及“we have no idea”這樣的短句的連讀。堅持每天練習15分鐘，不僅能提高發音，還能培養英語思維。如果覺得自己練習沒方向，也可以找專業的shadowing site，利用工具進行針對性訓練。記住，shadow speech的關鍵是“同步”和“模仿”，多聽多練，你也能說出像影片裡一樣自然的英語。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成進行時 have/has been + -ing — 以前開始、現在仍在繼續的動作	we've just been using · We've only been walking · we've been taking
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	has become · have worked · we've travelled
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	Park, which is · one which is · food, which is
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	must be attached · is connected · was still tasted

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
