Beginner Levels - Lesson 23: My Vacation

hello students how are you today today we're going to talk about geography but first we're going to talk about the verbs that we have learned now let's look at some of the tenses that we've used and we'll start with the past so Susan what did you do yesterday I played tennis in the park okay Allie what did you do last week I played football with my friends Isabelle did Allie play golf last week no he didn't he played football okay so when we talk about the time before now we use the simple past tense let's talk about the present now Isabelle what do you do every Saturday afternoon on Saturday afternoons I go shopping Susan what does Isabelle do on Saturday afternoons she goes shopping on Saturday afternoon okay Allie what time do you get up every morning I get up at 8 o'clock every morning all right Susan when do you usually eat lunch I eat lunch at 1:00 Isabelle window Susan eat lunch she eats lunch at 1:00 o'clock okay good so we use the simple tense the simple present tense to talk about general things in this time now when we want to talk about the future we can talk we can use the simple future tense we can use will or going to and sometimes present continuous today we'll use will and be going to so we can use to be plus the going to plus the verb when we talk about plans B going to plants so we've seen this before be going to verb okay so these are four plans now some examples are I'm going to go to the cinema tonight this is my plan okay I'm going to go to the cinema tonight now if we want to use will we can use this plus the verb we can use this for polite questions promises offers and predictions so here's an example I promise I will phone you tomorrow I promise I give you my word really I promise I will phone you tomorrow okay now we're going to take a vacation and first I want to tell you some of the words that we can use for a vacation these are places so let's make some room here and then I'll show you some of the vocabulary that we can use for vacation now these are nouns these are nouns the first one is Park Park parks have grass and trees we see parks in cities the next one is picnic picnic we eat food on a picnic outside in a park for example the next one is baggage or luggage the bags we put our clothes in when we travel is called luggage or baggage okay our bags trip is the next one when we go to other places we say we are going on a trip okay finally we are next we have barbecue this is a Q barbecue when we cook food outside we call this a barbecue so maybe we have a barbecue at our house or a barbecue at a picnic in a park next is postcard we send postcards to our friends when we are on holiday okay usually they come after we come back so postcards next souvenirs souvenirs this is a French word that came to English but souvenirs when we buy special presents for our friends and family on holiday we call them souvenirs we bring souvenirs and everyone needs a passport to travel a passport is a special document which we need to travel to a different country all right next is sport we saw this before sport some sports are games which we play when we are on holiday for example beach volleyball or water polo and finally we have very important the camera a camera is a machine you use to take a photograph okay now let's look at some verbs that we can use now the first verb is climb climb now it doesn't sound like it looks now if this letter B is silent climb okay we climb a mountain next is cook cook I cook food maybe I cook food for a barbecue catch catch we catch fish when we go fishing sometimes we don't catch fish when we go fishing but catch leave leave bye bye when I leave I say goodbye and go stay when I stay somewhere I don't go to another place so I can stay in a hotel for example or I can stay in Paris Travel is a verb when I travel I go from place to place I travel from London to Paris okay Travel is the verb arrived when I arrive I come to a place and stop traveling I arrived in Paris last night okay next play when we do a sport for example football we usually say we play football we use play especially with ball games okay now let's talk about articles now we're going to talk especially about a and n now remember with a we use a in front of single countable nouns that start with a consonant sound but the two and we use an in front of single countable nouns that start with a vowel sound okay now for a and you have to be careful of these letters E H oh okay ah and you okay now when you see words with these sometimes they have a different sound now let me show you some examples here's one an umbrella an umbrella we haven't seen umbrella before an umbrella okay starts with you it's a vowel and umbrella this is a sound now another one is a university a university but listen to the difference in sounds a university you okay a university an umbrella okay so the sound of the vowel is very important okay here's some other examples our house and our now we have h H is a consonant but sometimes we don't say the H so here we have a house house a house so we hear the H in this one we don't say it it's silent so we say an hour an hour okay a house an hour so H you have to watch okay here's another couple of examples a euro this one is kind of like this yeah this is how we say it in English a euro and we can say an elephant this one is normal an elephant and yeah a euro and elephant okay now look at the screen and you can see a chart reviewing the articles now notice we have articles countable single nouns that means 1 countable plural nouns 2 3 10 20 and non countable nouns look where we put aa or in first a and an are general so with countable single nouns we have a car countable plural cars general and non countable nouns traffic no ah another example countable single and apple countable plural apples in general non countable fruit no ah or n now the is special or definite so with countable single nouns we have the car the car over there countable plural the cars and non countable nouns we can use the the traffic the traffic is terrible today another example of specific special is under countable single nouns the apple the Apple I ate countable plural the apples and non countable nouns the fruit the special fruit the fruit on the table ok so there's a little bit of review for you now we always use articles when we use single countable nouns Apple dog pen we don't use articles when we use plural nouns apples dogs pence we're talking general and we don't use articles about general traffic fruit rain non-countable nouns and we can use the with both countable and non countable it gets special specific okay now let's look at a few more examples now let's make some room here and we'll look at some examples of a and n okay now we talk about app or and when something is general we're speaking in general so we can say this is a book this is a book general so this is a book it's any book it's not a special book here's one this is an egg and we have to use n because of the e this is an egg general it's not a special egg it's general they are cars they are cars plural general no article a group of cars and they're not special and another example they are children they are children the group of children they're not special okay this is just general so all of these are general singular plural plural okay now if we talk about specific than these change if we get specific or special then we change we can say this is the book this is the book I want this book is special okay this is the book this is the egg this is the egg I want to eat this is a special egg this is my egg okay this is the egg notice how we change the sound a little bit the egg the book the egg okay now we have to change this one a little bit they are the cars now we could put something like this they are the cars I like very specific or special and then finally they are the children they are the children they are the children the special children I teach they are the children it's a special group now okay so the is used when it's very specific and look it's all the same okay now let's practice using AA and or nothing with some words and the assistants will help us and these are the words that we're going to use and then they will tell us what goes before it ah and or nothing so we have banana tomato bread people orange and telephones now let's do these one by one and we'll start with Susan a banana yes ah banana okay next one Ollie a tomato yes this is general any tomato at tomato okay Isabelle Brett just nothing ex okay it's non-count okay bread is non-count it special now only people X okay this is general it's countable that is general and a Susan and orange juice and orange because it starts with O and finally Isobel telephones yes nothing telephones plural and general telephones are useful okay good now it's time for you to look and listen look and listen we went on a picnic yesterday he is reading

yes I enjoy climbing my family and I usually take a trip each year and go somewhere we've never been before I didn't know you were a climber have you been to Mount Olympus in Greece no not yet we went to Europe two summers ago and did some climbing in Switzerland it was awesome to see the Matterhorn when I was younger my family and I did a little hiking and climbing in Olympus but now I'm really interested in seeing the Rockies in Canada and then maybe Europe for the Alps Angie you into Europe last summer did you do any climbing huh shopping is more like it right Angie very funny Jack no Sam to answer your question we didn't do a lot of climbing actually we spent a lot of time in Germany Prague and France touring mostly by bike that sounds really interesting to me how did you like seeing Europe from a bicycle oh it was just amazing during the wine country of Bordeaux and France and the Rhineland in Germany it was a great tour okay guys don't laugh at me for what I'm about to say but I've been thinking about the future I've been thinking about other options like what well what I really love to do is see new places and travel the the Amazon the pyramids in Egypt the Great Wall of China the Himalayas I want to see all these places so what's your idea well I'm thinking after saving a little money to travel I'll take this interest I have in hiking and climbing and try to make some money doing it you know join a tour company and take other people whitewater rafting hiking and climbing Wow this is a really exciting possibility let's think about this what are your qualifications hmm okay here goes first of all I love to do it second I'm physically in good condition I speak three languages Spanish Greek and English I also have some experience climbing hiking and backpacking I also ski and have already lived on two continents so I'm adaptable hmm with those kind of skills and abilities you're hired but I think that you should also add that you have an easygoing personality remain calm in stressful situations and you're likely to be pretty reliable in difficult situations huh Thank You Angie well it is all true I agree I think an adventure tour company would be lucky to have you well I haven't spoken to my family yet but this idea is really interesting to me go for it Jack's right I think you should get on the internet and make contact with some tour companies and see what you can find out mm-hmm good idea now that we have a Lexie's future all planned it's back to daydreaming for me me too Sam where do you want to travel to hmm I want to go to New Zealand I want to go to the beach spend some time in the Sun and surf in the Pacific Ocean what about you Angie I want to go to the Sahara Desert I can cross the sands on camel and arrive safely at a desert oasis what about you Alexei right now I'd love to be on a photo safari taking pictures of lions and elephants from really close range and you jack all of your trips sound great I want to be on a little island in the Pacific Ocean maybe Tahiti reading books and writing it sounds great well we all have our ideas of what we want to do and they all sound interesting to me let's hope we can make our travel dreams come true someday anyone up for ice cream now it's not as exciting as Tahiti but it is right across the street let's go you
