here we are on a lovely morning in Cinque Terre and we're starting the
day off a little meditation by the ocean
so we're gonna take you through our day one of our days in Italy and so this is
the morning session and we're hoping to hike some mountains and kayak some
oceans and train some tracks and we're gonna take you with us and we're
probably going to be introducing you to some of our friends along the way we're
going to meet some American girls who we met yesterday are you excited I'm really
anxious yeah yeah we're anxious to do this vlogging in front of people
look how boingy i am, boing b boing boing
we mentioned earlier we were going on a hot date and we're gonna go and explore
some some of these lovely towns with these American girls but what did they do
they left us hanging instead of dwelling on this all day we thought we can take
this opportunity to teach you this idiom but let's just pause for a second to
dwell to dwell on something well that means to focus on it to think
about it for too long usually on a troubling thought yes something that's
annoyed you and normally people would say the advice don't dwell on it don't
think about it for too long it's not worth it yeah so they stood us up yeah stand
someone up which means to not turn up to leave us waiting yeah for the thing to
happen but it didn't happen you know it's classic you know in a date
situation if you're on partner doesn't come and meet you you can say I've been stood up
yeah do you get stood up much I've never been stood up actually no I've had
moments where I thought I was gonna be stood up like I went on a date and she
took about it was about 35 minutes she left me hanging for a long
time but she turned up in the end I actually nearly stood someone up but just because
I was not punctual okay now as I was rushed to meet her and on my phone I
quickly tried to text saying I'll be there in a min but my typos min meaning
minute my typos on my phone said bin so she expected me to turn up in a
rubbish bin was that at uni? Was it with Stacey?
no it wasn't actually another girl not while you know it was before
Stacy if you're watching.. alright? you full? I am I'm stuffed
you're stuffed yeah that was a good meal wasn't it it
was a lovely meal yeah we went to a classic pizzeria yeah we waited
for quite a long time oh yeah there was a bit of a waiting time Harry got a bit
hangry I did I did I had a a fungi pizza which
took Harry's tastebuds didn't it yeah yeah it caught your eye
caught your eye that's nice it was lovely it was beautiful
drizzled in oil he had a slice of it and did you get
what's it called food Envy? food envy I think I I think I did yeah I thought
mine was good I had a olive pizza covered in black olives there was loads of them
few too many if you ask me and if you ask me that's quite interesting isn't it
yeah we say that in the end of a statement that is an opinion yeah yeah
it's when we're giving an opinion about something and maybe it would differ to
other people and say yeah few too many olives if you ask me yeah yeah when we
realized we've given an opinion rather than a fact yes so we had a good lunch
yeah lovely and we were... because it is so choppy we
showed you those waves earlier it's so rough that we can't actually do any
kayaking sadly no kayaking for Harry and Charlie
today but we're gonna do a nice long hike not too long
along one town to the next along the hills yeah so Cinque Terre is
five little towns all connected along the coast
yeah and they're all reachable from one to another but
some of them are closed off so we took a train to the fourth of the five towns
and we're walking back to the third yes yeah we got be distracted on the train
and we ended up one step (stop) too far but it's okay it's okay yeah they're all
beautiful but we're in a beautiful setting it's quite a big drop down there
we're pushing our luck that's a really nice one I think it relates to kind of
testing your good fortune okay yes if you've got you know we're
we're lucky to be here we've already got good circumstances we've already got a
good view here yeah why go even closer okay don't test your luck don't test
your luck or fortune or don't push your luck don't push your luck yeah yeah
that's it yeah and also if let's say you're talking to a kid you've just
given a new toy or something like oh but I want the new Batman toy as well yeah I
want something more yeah don't push your luck yeah okay I love this thanks mum
yeah dad Uncle Harry that's it so don't take advantage of it yeah even more than
you have already so it's a common phrase for parents and for a teacher especially
teaching yeah yeah when they - when you're chewing gum or something and then
someone happens yeah and the kids are messing around
don't oush your luck yeah don't push your luck there we go so we're not going to
push our luck any more and we're gonna hop back over the railing and continue
on our hike Charlie is struggling I'm pulling us through
who's got the bag? Charlie's got the bag and he's.. I've got about 2 tonnes in here.. not letting
me forget it a group just asked us how long this walk
was and Harry gave some sound advice at the end of it didn't you? I did what did
you say? I said, guys, it's a marathon not sprint and what does that mean?
take one step at a time, don't rush you'll get there eventually
very nice a walk is to be enjoyed, very good
so when would we use this proverb? we we could use it when we've got something
that is probably long in duration and should be enjoying the process not just
thinking of the end goal okay like in the bigger picture of life people don't wanna be rushing through it they don't wanna focus on the next goal they wanna try to enjoy it
another one Harry said was painting a picture if you're doing a nice oil
painting you've got to wait for things to dry or watercolor it's quite a
tedious process it's quite long but we do want to rush it because it will ruin
it you could say it's a marathon not a sprint and it would be something for
someone to say as advice like keep going it's inspirational in a way isn't it?
yeah so how did I use it then with those those people? so they were worried about
how long it would take to do this hike and at the end Harry said you'll be able
to do it but remember it's a marathon not a sprint
that's all for today folks but I hope you enjoyed accompanying us on our day
around Cinque Terre remember that when learning English it's
necessary to use repetition to really get the words to sink into our brains
repeat them aloud watch your favorite YouTube videos again and again we also
need to start using these new expressions and vocabulary in a
meaningful context so for your homework I want you to do just that and answer
the following questions number one what did the American girls do to Harry and
Charlie number two what could you say to Harry and Charlie if they were
constantly complaining and thinking about the failed date and lastly what
could you say to someone who asks for a second bite from your sandwich I hope
