Hi, how are you?
2
Today we're learning English as we walk around the Botanic Gardens in Melbourne, Australia.
3
If you're new to learning English and want to see more about life in Australia,
4
maybe you're planning to travel here,
5
are studying here, or will move here for work,
6
this video series will help you understand everyday English while exploring real places around Melbourne and Australia.
7
In this series I've used the 3,000 most common English words to help you learn quickly through comprehensible input.
8
You can speak along with me and use this video for shadowing practice or you can relax and listen along.
9
Okay let's go for a walk.
10
We're starting right here in the city and I need to cross the road to reach the first part of the gardens.
11
The light is red so I'll press the button and wait for the signal to turn green.
12
Now that the light has turned green I can cross the road.
13
I've crossed the road and now we're on the other side.
14
Let's keep walking this way.
15
I'll follow this path.
16
You can hear the crunching sounds of the gravel as I walk along the path.
17
Gravel is like small crushed stones.
18
Do you see those two people walking ahead?
19
Let's walk behind them.
20
We'll follow them around the corner and go up the hill with them.
21
There are trees on both sides of the path.
22
Trees are lining either side of the path.
23
This tree gives some nice shade over the footpath.
24
Now we have arrived at a fork in the path.
25
This is where the path splits into two.
26
There are two options of path that we can take.
27
Should we turn right or left?
28
Let's go left.
29
It looks nice and cool under the shade of that tree.
30
Here's a signpost to help us find the way.
31
This green signpost points in many different directions.
32
There are lots of paths we can take,
33
but this time we want to take the left path again.
34
There's a man in a red shirt walking up ahead.
35
He might be going to the same place that we're going.
36
Let's follow him for a bit.
37
Before we go inside the Botanic Gardens,
38
I want to show you a little secret spot.
39
It's a place that not many people know about.
40
It's a bit hidden away.
41
To get there, we need to walk down these narrow stairs.
42
There's a handrail on the right that I'm holding onto.
43
Can you hear that?
44
It's a hidden waterfall.
45
At the bottom of the stairs is a small waterfall that flows into a pond.
46
The stream of water falling down is surrounded by lush ferns.
47
On a hot day, this place feels very cool and peaceful.
48
Let's walk back up these narrow stone stairs again.
49
If we go through this old archway,
50
we'll be back on the main path.
51
The weather is lovely today.
52
The temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius,
53
which is nice and warm.
54
You can see that there are only a few clouds,
55
otherwise it's a clear blue sky.
56
There's no wind, just lovely sunshine.
57
It's the perfect weather for a walk.
58
Right now it's October, which means that it's spring in Australia.
59
That means that the trees are growing bright green leaves again after winter.
60
We should also see some flowers starting to bloom.
61
I've been walking for almost 10 minutes so far.
62
We've almost reached the entrance to the Botanic Gardens.
63
Can you see the entrance up ahead?
64
The entrance is in front of us.
65
The gates are beautiful.
66
They have a very intricate design.
67
means very detailed.
68
The gates are shaped like trees with birds made of metal sitting on the top
69
and tiny little birds in the centre of the gate.
70
Let's go through the opening on the right.
71
First, let's take a look at the map of the gardens.
72
Right now we're at the city gate.
73
On the map there's a pink box that says you which tells us where we are.
74
I think we'll head towards the lake near the centre of the gardens.
75
We'll go via this path which means we will take this path to get there.
76
Next to the map there is a small lookout.
77
Let's walk up the steps and stand inside.
78
When you stand inside the lookout,
79
you can see the river and two stadiums across the water.
80
The stadiums are on the opposite side of the river.
81
In these stadiums, there are usually big sports games or sometimes large music concerts.
82
In front of the river is a road.
83
There are quite a lot of cars parked on the sides of the road and a few cars are driving by.
84
Now we're walking past some really tall trees.
85
Look at their leaves moving in the breeze.
86
There are also a lot of dragonflies flying around at the moment.
87
Oh look, a dragonfly just landed on this tree.
88
Can you see it?
89
I don't usually see this many flying around Melbourne.
90
Ah, it flew away.
91
We have almost made it to the lake.
92
You can see it just over there.
93
Down below, two people are walking their dogs.
94
They're taking their dogs for a walk next to the lake.
95
I want to walk a bit further so we'll stay on this upper path and walk to the gazebo.
96
Do you see that round structure up ahead?
97
Let's go inside for a minute.
98
Inside the gazebo there are benches.
99
You can sit here on the benches and look out over the garden.
100
I'm going to take a short rest and sit here on one of the benches.
101
It's very peaceful.
102
I'm the only person who is sitting in the gazebo.
103
I have the seats all to myself.
104
Okay, time to walk again.
105
Let's follow this path down into a shady area and at the end of the path there's the lake.
106
The lake is very large.
107
This lake is surrounded by lots of different plants, trees and flowers.
108
These little purple ones are my favourite.
109
Look there's a little bee on the flower.
110
To the right there's a smaller part of the lake and there are some white birds floating on top of the water.
111
If I look down I can see my shadow in the water.
112
The breeze is a little stronger now.
113
The wind has picked up.
114
You can see the plants swaying in the breeze.
115
Look at the unique shape of this short tree.
116
The tree has thick and chunky branches.
117
Now we've reached the boardwalk.
118
In the distance there are two people offering boat rides.
119
They have a green and red painted boat and are standing near matching green and red umbrellas.
120
The lady walking in front of me is also carrying an umbrella.
121
The umbrella will protect her from the sun.
122
I've been walking on this path for a little while now.
123
Let's step off the path and step onto the grass.
124
We can wander around this grassy area for a bit.
125
Here are some more purple flowers,
126
but these ones have tiny yellow centres.
127
Over there, there's a woman lying on the grass, enjoying the sunshine.
128
It looks like she's lying on a towel or a rug.
129
Behind her you can see the tall buildings of the city.
130
These thin palm trees have grown close together.
131
There's quite a lot of them.
132
It looks like there's maybe ten of them.
133
I'm walking underneath the branches of this big tree.
134
There are beautiful pink blossoms on the branches.
135
Underneath the tree two people are having a picnic in this shady spot.
136
And the two people on the right are taking their dog for a stroll.
137
This area is a small veggie patch.
138
Different vegetables are starting to grow in these crates.
139
The scarecrow will help keep the birds away.
140
It's very cute.
141
Let's check the map again.
142
It looks like we've reached the opposite side of the gardens now.
143
This part is called the arid garden.
144
It's full of different kinds of cactus and dry weather plants.
145
These are plants that don't need a lot of water.
146
They can survive in very hot conditions.
147
This section feels very different to the other areas of the garden.
148
There aren't any big trees,
149
just a lot of spiky plants in different shapes.
150
Some are long and thin like poles.
151
Others are short and round like balls.
152
And some have spots like this one.
153
This one looks pretty sharp.
154
Let's go past this cluster of long, tall plants.
155
A cluster is a group of things close together.
156
Let's walk up these red stairs.
157
There are only a few we need to climb.
158
We'll walk up this ramp to reach the top.
159
There's a handrail on the right side of the ramp.
160
A man has run past me on the ramp and will run back down.
161
Here at the top is a small pond.
162
You can also see some apartments outside of the garden.
163
If we look out here,
164
we can see across this section of the garden.
165
Let's head down again and along this path.
166
This tree with little yellow flowers smells amazing.
167
This tree is native to Australia,
168
which means that it grows here naturally.
169
The tree is originally from Australia.
170
If I follow the stone path out this way,
171
we'll arrive at a big field full of native Australian daisies.
172
These kinds of daisies have a thick,
173
paper-like texture, and there are lots of pink, yellow and white flowers.
174
How beautiful!
175
Wouldn't it be nice to sit beside these flowers all day?
176
Okay, it's time to finish our walk.
177
We'll follow this stone path towards the exit.
178
This gate looks different from the first one, but just as intricate.
179
Out we go!
180
Thanks for walking with me today.
181
What was at the hidden place before entering the gardens?
182
A waterfall.
183
What did the woman use to protect herself from the sun?
184
She used a white umbrella.
185
How would you describe the design of this gate?
186
The gate has an intricate design.

关于本课
在本课程中，我们将通过探访澳大利亚墨尔本的植物园来学习英语。这个视频让学习者能够接触到日常生活中的英语表达，无论是计划旅行、在这里学习或是工作，这个系列的视频都能帮助你更好地理解周围的环境。在这个过程中，您将练习雅思口语，提升您的英语听力和口语技能，让您更自信地与他人交流。
重要词汇与短语
- 路口 - fork (指两条小路的分叉)
- 人行道 - footpath (指行人走的路)
- 信号灯 - traffic light (控制车辆与行人通行)
- 阴凉处 - shade (树木提供的凉爽地方)

练习技巧
为了更好地进行英语影子跟读，建议您在观看此视频时跟随说话者的速度和语调进行模仿。由于视频中的语速相对缓慢，适合初学者和中级学习者进行shadowspeak练习。您可以选择在浏览植物园的同时，尝试重复每一句话。
在学习过程中，请注意清晰的发音和语调变化。这不仅有助于提高英语发音，还有助于增强您的语感。例如，当您听到信号灯变绿时，不妨跟读：“现在信号灯变绿了，我可以过马路。”
建议您可以在家中或与朋友一起反复观看这一视频，配合自己跟读，逐步提升您的口语流利度和准确性。每次练习，您都会发现自己的进步，并为自己的英语能力感到自豪。愿您在学习的旅程中收获满满，变得更加自信！
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
