1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:01,440
All right.

2
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:06,600
In this video lecture, I'm going to give you some really good sample answers to a countryside question.

3
00:00:06,990 --> 00:00:12,030
Earlier in the course, I gave you some really good answers for a housing question.

4
00:00:12,030 --> 00:00:15,570
The countryside question is somewhat similar, but it's a little bit different.

5
00:00:15,570 --> 00:00:17,550
So please pay attention.

6
00:00:19,170 --> 00:00:19,750
All right.

7
00:00:19,770 --> 00:00:21,480
Part one countryside.

8
00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:24,090
Let's talk about living in the countryside.

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,390
Did you ever live in the countryside?

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,920
The rural areas are absolutely breathtaking.

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,340
And I first settled there from 5 to 10 years of age.

12
00:00:35,550 --> 00:00:39,930
Afterwards, there was an eight year period of city living with my family.

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,550
That was followed by my return to the outskirts for university studies.

14
00:00:47,970 --> 00:00:48,360
Right.

15
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:53,010
So I'll read that again for you again if you want to.

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,750
A great thing for you to do.

17
00:00:55,170 --> 00:00:57,240
A great practice for you to do.

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:57,690
And I'll.

19
00:00:57,690 --> 00:01:01,500
I said the worst thing I really try to get you all to not use those kind of words.

20
00:01:02,130 --> 00:01:09,540
A really good practice for you to do would be to try to repeat this and try to mimic my pronunciation.

21
00:01:10,650 --> 00:01:14,900
And that way that's some people want to know how can I work on my pronunciation?

22
00:01:14,910 --> 00:01:19,410
And one thing you can do is really just practice mimicking native speakers.

23
00:01:19,410 --> 00:01:21,210
I'm a native native speaker.

24
00:01:21,210 --> 00:01:23,250
I'm a native speaker from the United States.

25
00:01:23,550 --> 00:01:29,010
And so if you want to know how a native speaker sounds, this is what we sound like.

26
00:01:29,250 --> 00:01:33,780
Now, of course, there are different, different accents because people are from different parts of

27
00:01:33,780 --> 00:01:34,620
the country.

28
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:40,740
But if you want to do that, that's something that I would ask you to practice.

29
00:01:40,740 --> 00:01:43,200
Stop the tape and try to mimic my pronunciation.

30
00:01:43,230 --> 00:01:46,080
OC Let's give that answer again.

31
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:50,650
Did you ever live in the countryside?

32
00:01:51,580 --> 00:01:58,330
The rural areas are absolutely breathtaking and I first settled there from 5 to 10 years of age.

33
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,640
Afterwards, there was an eight year period of city living with family.

34
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,050
That was followed by my return to the outskirts for university studies.

35
00:02:08,860 --> 00:02:10,750
Okay, let's move on to the next question.

36
00:02:11,290 --> 00:02:13,570
How did you feel about living there?

37
00:02:14,370 --> 00:02:19,830
To be honest, I can't recollect any specific emotions from ages 5 to 10.

38
00:02:20,190 --> 00:02:26,760
But when I look back on the photos from my life in the back country, I was smiling in every photograph.

39
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:33,600
On the other hand, I have vivid recollections of the latter period doing during university, which

40
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,340
was filled with peace and tranquillity from the surrounding Virgin Forest.

41
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,580
Next question.

42
00:02:44,590 --> 00:02:46,600
Would you like to live there again?

43
00:02:47,650 --> 00:02:48,850
To tell the truth?

44
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,960
My long term plan includes returning to the rural districts where the population is under 10,000 and

45
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,240
the beauty is undeniably green.

46
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:05,050
To escape my current political, to escape my current polluted city lifestyle, I'll take up country

47
00:03:05,050 --> 00:03:06,760
living again very soon.

48
00:03:07,180 --> 00:03:08,620
Let's read that one more time.

49
00:03:09,460 --> 00:03:11,380
Would you like to live there again?

50
00:03:12,410 --> 00:03:18,530
To tell the truth, my long term plan includes returning to the rural districts where the population

51
00:03:18,530 --> 00:03:22,580
is under 10,000 and the beauty is undeniably green.

52
00:03:22,940 --> 00:03:29,120
To escape my current polluted city lifestyle, I'll take up country living again very soon.

53
00:03:29,630 --> 00:03:30,080
All right.

54
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,100
And thank you very much for joining us with that countryside answer.

55
00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:37,110
I look forward to talking to you very soon.

56
00:03:37,130 --> 00:03:40,950
And if you have any questions, please be sure to ask.

57
00:03:40,970 --> 00:03:41,780
Thanks a lot.

58
00:03:41,810 --> 00:03:42,830
Have a great day.
