English Conversation – Describing Places

Describing Countries & Cities

This is what Pilar (the student) said – transcript

I’m from Granada in the south of Spain. Granada is a beautiful town, where you can see many interesting things like “The Alhambra”. It is an Islamic palace and Unesco World Heritage. It is visited by thousands of tourists everyday. Granada also has a snowy mountain called Sierra Neuada and pretty beaches. If you go to Granada you can find a lot of bars with typical beers and tapas. People enjoy themselves very much and it is cheap.

The weather in Granada is nice. In summer we can have 30 degrees but in winter it is very cold. Two hours from Granada we can find Malaga. Another beautiful city of Spain with a lot of beaches and nice weather, the sun shines everyday.

The Food is also delicious. You can eat fresh fish, paella, Gazpacho and much more. People are very friendly and cheerful.

Another city that I love is Barcelona, where I lived 10 years ago. It is a big city and it is well known as the Gaudy city. At the weekends there are a lot of people and the streets are very noisy

English Conversation – The Present Tense (Daily Routines & Habits)

This is what Pilar & Dorothy said:

Pilar: In the morning when I get up I put on the music first. After that I have my breakfast. First I prepare a smoothie with pineapple, a lot of parsley and cucumber. It’s to clean my body. It’s very nice, erm, and then I prepare a toast with garlic, tomatoes and olive oil. It’s very nice

Dorothy: My partner makes the same, garlic, tomatoes and olive oil. Same! It’s very delicious.

Pilar: Yes, it’s typical Spanish but in Barcelona it’s more typical. More than any other city in Spain. With my toast I drink a coffee. When I finish my breakfast I have a shower. I brush my teeth and I get dressed. When I’m ready I go to my work from Brixton to Pimlico. In the afternoon when I finish my work I come back to Brixton. I make dinner and wait for my friend. When my friend arrives, erm, we eat, we speak and after that I wash the dishes in the kitchen. After that I brush my teeth, I go to bed and I read a book. At about 11.30 I go to sleep because I am very tired.

Dorothy: I get up at around 8am in the morning and I wash my face, I brush my teeth and then I get dressed. I usually take a shower in the evenings not in the mornings, so that’s my routine. For breakfast I have, similar to you, I have a smoothie with cucumber, celery, spinach, apple, banana. I blend it and I have that for breakfast and it’s very delicious and very good for you as well. After breakfast I go to work, so I teach my students and when I finish work I come back home and I prepare a late lunch.

Dorothy: So usually for lunch I have a big salad or fruits. I cycle to work and I cycle back home so that’s my way of getting to work. In the evenings I relax like you as well. At home I make dinner, so I usually have potatoes or brown rice, lentil soup or raw food, whatever, but healthy food. Then I relax with my partner and after that I go to bed and then I sleep. I don’t usually read a book but I sometimes read a book, it depends, but not very usual. Sometimes I watch TV, it depends. So that’s our daily routine guy. Thank you for watching!
