STAY IN SHAPE - PRE INTERMEDIATE


http://elllo.org/video/1001/V1005-Fitness.htm

Hello, this is Diego from Mexico and today at elllo.org we're gonna talk about staying in shape. Why is it important to stay in shape? I think it's very important for us to stay in shape because our body is with us all the time basically, and when you start exercising, you start feeling better. You start feeling more empowered, and you don't get tired when you go up the stairs. You don't get tired when you have to run to the classroom and so on, so staying in shape is pretty much taking care of yourself. It's preventing heart diseases. It's preventing heart attacks and you know, it gives you this drive to go on. And yeah, you feel great and actually some people say that exercising is a bit addictive because it releases endorphins. Endorphins are the substance that makes you happy, like chocolate, so when you're exercising, you are pretty much sending this substance through your body that is making you happy.

Sarah / England
My favorite restaurant would have to be a chicken restaurant called "Nando's." The menu is predominantly chicken and it's Portuguese style, so it's spicy. You can choose a spice and you can have it in the form of chicken on the bone, or you can have chicken burgers or chicken pitas. It's so very, very tasty and you can choose what different sides you have. It's so very, very nice.

Paul / England
My favorite restaurant is an Italian restaurant called "Napoli." It has some fantastic, delicious pizzas, mostly using thin base, again, which is common in Italian cooking. The quality of the ingredients is really good and very, very fresh, and the cooking isn't a long process. And so, you'd really get a feel for the Mediterranean when you eat there.

Warren / Canada 
I'd say my favorite restaurant is something that has a lot of variety. I think it's quite common, maybe in a pub especially, to have food, not only from Canada but from around the world, so you might be able to get some Thai food or Japanese food, but it usually got a little bit of a Canadian twist to it.

Rese / Botswana
My favorite restaurant would have to be Nando's, actually. They have good choices for different sizes of chicken, from half to quarter to full-sized chickens, and they've got different flavors, which they spread on those chickens, that you can get. The French fries that come with the chicken are also quite tasty.

Dani / England 
I don't really have a most favorite restaurant, I guess. Right now, though, if I have to say what my favorite restaurant would be, it would probably be the Italian Tomato Cafe. They serve a lot of different pastas there. They actually have a really nice one on the menu at the moment with pumpkin and cream dressing, and it's justdelicious.

Katia / Mexico 
Yes, there's a very good restaurant. It's a tacos restaurant. They have very good tacos, with different kinds of sauces. Only one kind of meat, but the variety of sauces makes it really good.

Matt / United States 
I think my favorite restaurant right now is Ramen Noodle Shop near where I live. It's my favorite because it's very cheap; it's less than five dollars for one bowl of noodles, but you can actually get as many bowls as you want for that same one price. So, it's very cheap and it tastes all right, too, so that's where I go most often.

http://www.elllo.org/english/Mixer126/T131-Cooking.htm

Paul / England 
I prefer cooking because I enjoy the creative aspectof cooking, the idea of bringing together a number of ingredients, and you know, cooking is something that's going to taste good. And for these reasons, I enjoy cooking to cleaning.

Phoebe / China
Do I prefer cooking or cleaning? Definitely, I prefer cooking. I don't mind to cook every meal as long as someone can clean it for me, so if you let me choose, definitely, I prefer cooking.

Tim / United States
I like both cooking and cleaning, because I like doing my own cooking because it can be fun and you can make something that you enjoy eating and tastes good and is also healthy. And I also like cleaning because I don't like having a mess in my personal space, and I like keeping things organized, so it's nice to keep things clean, so you have a less stressful life.

Antoinette / United States 
I prefer cleaning. Cooking is very stressful, because if you're cooking, you're going to cook for someone else. If I have to cook for myself, I don't mind, I don't really care. I'll eat whatever it is I cook. But if I'm cooking for other people, I have to worry about whether they will like what I make, if I'll make enough, if I'll have enough courses, will I make something someone's allergic to, so it's just very stressful. Cleaning, that's easy, and it helps me to relieve stress.

Rese / Botswana 
I prefer cooking because cleaning takes too much energy, and I don't really like washing up and getting my hands wet. Plus, I like to come up with new recipes and experiment in the kitchen.

Kat / Germany 
I definitely prefer cooking. Cooking is actually one of my biggest hobbies. I love making food for my friends, I love preparing an elaborate meal for everyone, and I really enjoy throwing dinner parties.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

Kat / Germany
I don't use public transportation too often. When I still lived in my home town, it was just too small to have public transportation. Nowadays, I like to ride my car. I think public transportation is a great idea, but I really like the convenience of having my own vehicle.
Dani / England
All the time, especially here at the moment at the university, I always use the bus or the train or walk everywhere. I can't drive, so it's my only option really.
Shiloh / United States
At school, I use public transportation a lot to get from my home to my university. There's a regular bus service that runs between my house and my school, which is about five kilometers or so. But when I'm at home with my family in New Mexico, I don't use public transportation at all. I think that American public transportation is few and far between. it's not very well-funded, and it's not very good, unless you live in the city. Everybody has cars, so you don't really have a need for public transportation, because everybody is able to drive himself where they need to go.
Sarah / England
Public transport is something that I don't often use at all. Because I own a car, I normally just jump into the car and just drive wherever I need to go. The only time really that I go use public transport is when I'm traveling around London, because using the underground is a lot more easier than trying to drive through the busy roads.
Warren / Canada
Not so much these days. I have a car now, and where I'm living, the bus system isn't very good and there's no train station right by me, so I tend to drive.
Tim / United States
I don't use public transportation very often. It's not as common in America as it is in other countries. And I also own a car, so if I need to get anywhere, I just drive my own car, which is very convenient, because I can go wherever I want at whatever time I want without being dependent on a bus schedule or something like that.

PET CARE

http://www.elllo.org/english/Mixer126/T130-Pets.htm

Kat / Germany 
Hey, I have a favor to ask. I'm going to be out of town for two days, and I was wondering if you could take care of my hamsters. You just got to come in and feed them. I'll leave the key in the box. Thank you.

Warren / Canada
Hey, would you mind coming over during the week? I'm going out of town for a few days, and my pet cat, she needs some water and some food, just maybe if you could come once a day and make sure there's food and water there for her, that would be good.

Tim / United States 
Hi, Sarah, I'm going out for the weekend, and I wondering if you could go to my house and feed my pet turtle, Shamus. It shouldn't take too much effort. You just need to give them a few pellets. The food is right underneath his tank. Don't feed him too much because it will leave a mess in the tank. And since he's kind of lazy, if you miss a day, it won't be a big deal, because he doesn't need too much food.

Paul / England 
Oh, hi, Dave. I'm terribly sorry, and would appreciate it if you could feed my pet bird. It doesn't eat very much, but as long as you provide some water and some seed, then the bird will be happy. But if you could keep an eye out for the local cat, who is its archenemy.

Mike / Singapore
Hey, can you do me a favor help me feed my pet viper? He's very friendly, so you don't have to worry about him biting you. So just go ahead, put your hand inside the cage and feed him like five mice. THanks.

Katia / Mexico
Hey, this is Katia. Listen, can I ask you for a favor? Could you pass by my apartment? The key is under the mat, and if you can feed my dog the food that's in the pantry on the bottom drawer, and if you can just give him enough for only about one night. If he eats too much, it will not be a very good idea. And if you can just do that for me, that would be great. I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

_Hi, I'm Randall. The US mail service is still an important part of the communications system here in the United States, and in our area, mail is delivered between Monday and Saturday. On our street, it's usually delivered between one and three PM.

And if you want to send a piece of mail, you can stick it in your mailbox, and raise the red flag.

Our particular family, uh, sends it usually at the post office. One thing I still enjoy about receiving mail or cards from family and friend(s) . . . and you don't get that personal touch from sending and receiving email.
