ooh
morning everyone!
it's a nice day in London today
it's really sunny and I thought I would do a little vlog
in English
and put subtitles on it
First, though, I need to buy a selfie-stick
We are at the train station
Oh my God...
This is really embarrassing
Anyway, I'll have to swallow my pride
Hi students!
Welcome back to English with Lucy
and I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything in so long!
The reason why because I've been finishing my university degree
And yesterday I did my final exam
And I think it went quite well
So....fingers crossed!
I get my results on the 11th of June
which is the day after my birthday
So...wish me luck until then!
I thought it might be a nice idea to occasionally
film what I do in my daily life
here in England
so I thought it would be a good day to start because I'm going back to my village in the countryside
These videos will be subtitled
and I will try to speak in slow, clear English
because normally I kind of speak like this and I talk really quickly
So yeah this is going to be the first video
you can follow me around
and see what I do
meet my dog and maybe meet my family if they let me film them
Hello everyone!
I'm home now
This is my house and my garden
my lovely trampoline
And you might be able to hear some children screaming
because we live next to a primary school
which is where I went to school when I was young
my mum and I are gonna have a nice cup of tea now
like true English ladies
this is the life
Hello!
my dad and I are on a dog walk
in a beautiful field
this is the English countryside!
Good morning!
it's 9 o'clock and it is Saturday
Yeah, so we've got a long weekend this weekend because it's a bank holiday
which means that all of the shops are shut on Monday
and people don't generally go to work
but they still get paid! Ha!
I'm gonna get ready and I'm gonna make a coffee
Morning! I'm just having my morning coffee
and some strawberries
I'm waiting for my parents to get up so I can have proper breakfast
I'm starving
so, my dad is going to teach me how to drive
I still can't drive
I have not got very good coordination
but first...very importantly...
I need to put my strawberry on (MANIC LAUGH)
Alright so you might not know
but in the UK we drive on the other side of the road
(Which side do we drive on?)
(We drive on the left)
We drive on the left!
So that means that the cars are slightly different over here
So, my dad is driving me to a position or to a place where I can learn safely
and then I'm going to be in control of the car
So it's a moderately cloudy day so like all British families we're having a barbecue
So, I've prepared the food today
we're having sausages, asparagus, this is halloumi cheese, and also grilled avocado
Who said that English food was bad?
Whilst we're waiting for everything to cook
We're having a glass of Pimm's
Which is a really popular drink in summer here in England
And what is it?
It's...I think it's gin-based and we have it with mint, strawberry, cucumber
and other fruits
and lemonade
so yes...if you come and visit England you need to ask for a Pimm's!
