Friends! I don't do tutoring right now, but if you need a teacher, I recommend this wonderful site- there are native (and non-native) teachers there 👅 for all occasions and for every pocket 🙂 I myself went through more than 80 lessons with teachers that I found there!
Good day to all! Nature is a beautiful and wonderful world around us, with extraordinary landscapes that are difficult to describe. And yet we will try. So, we continue to study the principles of description in English, and today we will learn to describe the nature around us and natural phenomena. To do this, together with Martin Lerner and other amateur naturalists, we will go hiking in the mountains for a few days.
Description of nature in English: hiking in the mountainsWe will also continue to learn how to describe the world around us in English, and at the same time we will repeat and learn a lot of new vocabulary. And in the course of this audio lesson, concretizing the description, we will consider the description of nature in the mountains using the example of a short conversation. This time, Martin Lerner goes to the mountains with a group of boys and girls, members of the nature lovers club. The journalist talks with naturalists about the beauty of nature and the landscapes surrounding them:
Martin: Can you describe what you like? Can you describe what you like?
Hannah:It's so peaceful and quiet. All you can hear are the small birds and the little animals on the ground. - Everything around (literally: it) - is so peaceful and quiet. All you can hear is little birds and little animals on the ground
Martin:Where are we going to hike today? Where are we going to hike today?
Hannah:look over there. Do you see that big white rock? There is some green grass on the hillside below. - Look over there. Do you see this big white rock? She has some green grass on the slope below.
Martin: Are there some yellow flowers too? “And also some yellow flowers?”
Hannah: Yes. That's where we're going for a picnic. - Yes. This is where we go for a picnic.
Remember also and review a very important lesson when traveling Location questions
Read carefully several times an excerpt from the dialogue between Martin Lerner and Hanna, a member of the nature lovers club. Practice your English reading skills, and then practice your American listening skills by listening to an audio recording of a conversation about nature and the sound of other vocabulary for describing people's physical characteristics:
/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/russian_english_080.mp3The audio lesson will also help you practice pronunciation of English phrases to describe nature and weather phenomena. English pronunciation is very important when communicating with native speakers, so work on the articulation of American sounds well. It is for this purpose that the specialists of the Russian service of the radio "Voice of America" have prepared a conversational audio course "So they say in America."
