compare your pronunciation to my voice, to
Mike's voice, and to the interviewees' voices!

Parts 3a -3b - 3c - Interviews of Walkers
 

Our first interviewee, from Eastern Europe (Ukraine)

   

Part 3a: Meet a person whose Second Language is English. She's from Europe. Interview of Walker # 1
 
 
Subtitled version of clip 3a. I just realized I made one mistake in the subtitling of this clip. Can you find it?

Mrs Burnett from Ukraine
What's her first name? Where's she from?
Where does she live now?

 
       
 
Natural Walkers
    
 

This is the most difficult video in the WalkScore lessons, for Upper Intermediate to Advanced level students. The other lessons are designed for Pre-Intermediates and Intermediates.

You meet two walkers who are enthusiastic about their walking lifestyle, but have never heard of Walk Score™.

Students: There is no subtitled version of this clip. You will make your own subtitles as you do the exercises in the lesson. 

  




A Rural Perspective

 
Part 3b: Interview # 2. Meet Nick and Flynn.
 


Part 3b Subtitled  - If they buy a new home, will the walk score of the new home be important to them?

The 2 clips of interviews of "ordinary walkers". Here are the corresponding exercises.

Below is another short list of keywords from clips 3a and 3b:


gain weight (verb + noun): get fat!
conveniences (noun): amenities

immigrate (verb): enter & settle in a new country
you have to drive: you must drive
accessible (adjective): easy to approach or use
hike (noun+verb): a long walk, to take a long walk
errand (noun): a short trip for performing a task
a couple miles: 2 or 3 miles...
Would you pick a house based on walkability?
 
   
 
  
  Nick and Flynn do not live in a "neighborhood". They live in in the countryside, on an island, far from highways, but also far from amenities. Their situation is very different from Tatania Burnett's situation. She lives in a suburban area.
