00:11
and finally we're going to explore Hoi An
00:14
and see the beautiful city at night
00:16
And at the end of the video
00:19
there will be a quiz to
00:21
reinforce all of the new words
00:24
So the first word is rice paddy
00:49
we are surrounded by rice paddies.
00:53
Okay should we go down there?
01:01
there's a river that's running here.
01:05
I'm walking on the bridge
01:07
and behind me are people working in the fields
01:09
and farmers harvesting the rice.
01:14
that lady is wearing a non la,
01:19
traditional Vietnamese hat - a non la.
01:21
In English it's called a conical hat.
01:23
Conical means like cone shaped.
01:25
To my right we have the yellow rice fields.
01:27
They're ready to be harvested.
01:31
There's a man carrying a big bunch of straw,
01:33
the farmer is carrying a big bunch of straw.
01:37
Down here if we crouch down
01:40
this is an irrigation ditch
to drain the rice fields.
01:42
And this is a hand cart, a hand cart.
01:47
You pick it up like this with
your hand and you wheel it.
01:51
I'll put it back now...
01:57
so shall we continue? [Music]
01:59
this guys is a combine harvester,
02:08
that's to harvest all the rice.
02:11
Look at that beauty!
02:14
On the left here this is a tractor.
02:15
That's a tractor on the left
02:19
this is called rubble.
02:23
All loose stones and rocks is called rubble.
02:25
Here there's a man with a tool,
02:28
he's leveling out the rice
02:31
so it can dry in the sun.
02:32
Okay one second i'm just going to get off,
02:36
so this in the background is a buffalo
02:39
it has two big horns on its head
02:43
and next to the buffalo
02:46
the calf is lying down on the floor.
02:49
A baby cow, a baby buffalo is called a calf.
02:51
There are also some chickens roaming around.
02:55
Okay on the left these are banana trees
03:02
with large banana leaves.
03:06
I just wanted to say to you guys
03:08
if you're walking out and about
03:10
it's a great time to practice your English
03:12
even if you're not with anyone
03:14
just do what I'm doing.
03:15
Look around and name things
03:17
name nouns even if it's simple nouns
03:19
like sky and ground.
03:21
If you don't know the name for that thing
03:23
go on Google, go and chat GPT
03:24
and search the name for that thing.
03:27
Yeah, it's a great way to practice your English
03:29
anyway, I'm going to hand
the camera back to Chang now
03:30
because we've got some beautiful flowers here.
03:33
Right let's learn some English!
03:35
These - we're going to start here
03:38
these are called paper flowers,
03:40
paper flowers, or bougainvillea.
03:42
My mum's favourite flower.
03:44
These flowers are in pots
03:45
this is a pot, these are all pots.
03:48
This is a puddle, puddle.
03:51
there's a motorbike passing.
03:57
This is a villa, a villa.
04:02
And here, if you come here
04:05
we have a flower bed
04:07
the place where the flowers sleep.
This is a flower bed made of logs.
04:09
These are some clothes hanging up on coat hangers.
04:14
you have like a wire fence there
04:31
with clothes hanging.
04:33
Columns, or pillars to hold
the structure of the house up.
04:35
There's an altar there, an altar.
04:38
We're going have to hop off here.
04:42
Chang had to get off the bike
04:45
because this hill is too steep
for my legs to ride us up
04:46
so we're going to continue the journey.
04:52
A blue wall. This is a fence,
some more paper flowers.
04:56
That is our hotel in the distance
05:10
we're going to head there now.
05:12
We're going to go out on foot
05:14
take a walk to the Roving Chill House Cafe
05:15
to play some English word games.
05:18
so now, let's play a game.
05:44
The game is called 'word flow'
05:46
i'm going to say a word
05:50
and Chang will say a word
that relates to that word.
05:51
I'll then say a word that associates with her word
05:54
It's like verbal pingpong.
05:57
The loser is the one
05:59
who doesn't say a word after 3 seconds
06:00
these are rude words but that's fine
06:44
Round one ding to Chang
06:59
We're going to do one more round
07:01
and let's see if she can finish me off
07:02
with a knockout blow
07:03
a bit color blind there
07:14
it's what we learned today
07:27
I think I think I lost.
07:52
You think you lost.
07:53
Chang thinks she lost
07:54
one all high five, boom.
07:55
If you guys want to see how to
play this game in more detail,
07:57
I've linked a video in the description.
