1
Today we're going to talk about one of my favourite topics, holidays.
2
A holiday can be one day or several days where you take a break from your usual routine.
3
There are lots of reasons for taking a holiday.
4
It might be to rest or to spend time with family or friends, or to travel.
5
In fact people often use the word holiday to describe travel or a trip.
6
I went on holiday to Vietnam last year.
7
It was awesome.
8
You can also stay at home for a holiday and do something you enjoy.
9
For example, I stayed at home for the Easter holidays and just spent time with my family.
10
Another word that can be used for holiday is vacation, but that's not that common in Australia.
11
It's mostly used in the United States.
12
Now if you're working and you want to take a holiday, you might have to apply for leave.
13
It could be paid or unpaid.
14
Most Australian workers get about 20 days of paid leave a year.
15
We call that annual leave.
16
Australian students get much longer holidays, especially over summer.
17
Summer in Australia happens between December and February.
18
We also have public holidays.
19
They're days when many businesses in Australia close, like on Christmas Day.
20
When people talk about a holiday, we often use the preposition on.
21
Like, I wish I was on holiday right now.
22
Me too.
23
Let's listen to some people talk about their holidays.
24
Oh, hey.
25
Welcome back, Nick.
26
Hey, Dawn Charlotte.
27
Good.
28
How was your holiday?
29
Really good.
30
I saved up all of my annual leave and I took the whole month off.
31
That's amazing.
32
What did you do?
33
So, I spent some time with my parents and then my partner and I went to New Zealand to go skiing.
34
Do you want to see some photos?
35
Yeah.
36
Oh.
37
Oh.
38
It was great and just so relaxing.
39
Oh, nice.
40
I've used up all my annual leave for the year, so no holidays for me.
41
That's a shame.
42
I mean, I could take some unpaid leave.
43
I think that's what Emma's doing.
44
She's on holiday in Barbados at the moment.
45
Oh, OK.
46
Not all leave is for holidays.
47
You can take leave from work if you're ill.
48
It's called sick leave.
49
It's different to a holiday because you don't really have any fun and you usually spend most of your time in bed.
50
There's also the weekend, which is Saturday and Sunday, when most workers get time off.
51
Most people work from Monday to Friday, which we call weekdays.
52
A long weekend happens when a public holiday falls on Friday or Monday.
53
Lots of people go away during the long weekend.
54
In English, we often use the verbs do and go to describe weekend activities.
55
If we use do, it's usually followed by a determinants like the, some or my.
56
For example, I do the washing, I do some shopping, I do my housework, I do some study or I do the gardening.
57
The past form of do is did.
58
So I do the washing on the weekends becomes I did the washing on the weekend.
59
You often use the verb go for sports and activities, especially if they end in ing.
60
For example, I might go swimming, go surfing, go skating, go running or go walking.
61
Here the past form of go is went, so I go swimming on Saturdays becomes I went swimming last Saturday.
62
Hey Charlotte, did you go out to anything fun on the weekend?
63
Oh yeah, I went fishing with my dad.
64
We usually go fishing about once a month.
65
Oh nice, did you catch anything?
66
Yeah, we got some squid and it was so much fun.
67
But it meant I didn't do any work.
68
I haven't done my cleaning, my gardening.
69
How was your weekend?
70
Pretty good.
71
Didn't catch any fish, but I did catch some waves.
72
Me and a couple of my mates went surfing up the coast.
73
Conditions were perfect.
74
You should come along next time.
75
Oh, yeah, that sounds great.
76
Count me in.
77
Well, all that talk of holidays, it's really making me want to go on one.
78
Me too.
79
We hope you've enjoyed today's lesson and learned how you can talk about your holidays.
80
Safe travels.

关于本课
您正在使用跟读技巧通过视频"Everyday English: Holidays"练习英语口语和发音。
每天练习15到30分钟，将显著提高您的英语流利度和发音准确度。
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。
