Hey iTalkiers, this is Chadwick.

Thanks for listening today.

I am going to answer a question which may appear on a test like the IELTS.

And that question is this:  Do you enjoy outdoor activities?

The short answer to that question is yes.

I do enjoy activites that take place outdoors.

The longer answer needs to be unpacked, or explained a bit more in detail.

To begin with, I am not a fan of winter activities.  I used to be, but not so much anymore.

I was never really keen on skiing, but I used to enjoy snowboarding.

But, those days are gone, and I would much rather be cozied up next to the warm fire during those long cold winter months.

And now when it comes to spring, summer, and fall... I am all in.

Anyone who knows me or follows my Instagram (organicenglishus) knows that I am an avid gardener.

Avid means that I show a keen interest, or am enthusiasitic about, in this case, gardening.

I could spend all day playing in the dirt and watching things grow.

During the warmer months of the year, I also enjoy Hiking the North Country Trail, or paddling around a quiet lake with my wife.

So, yeah, spring, summer and winter are amazing.

Winter time, not so much.

How about you?

Do you enjoy outdoor activites?

006 Do you enjoy outdoor activities?

Nordic countries are often said to be some of the happiest in the world — and they may be some of the most sustainable places to visit too.

If you're not sure what it means to travel sustainably, the Global Destination Sustainability (GDS) Index may be able to help.

Now in its ninth year, it ranks places across the world based on things like destination management and environmental performance.

One hundred destinations were included in the 2024 index, with Helsinki in first place.

More than 50% of the Finnish capital's electricity is renewable, more than 30% of its buses are electric, and 49% of its waste is recycled.

Helsinki has also set a goal of being carbon neutral by 2030, and there are lots of green spaces around the city — almost 10,000 hectares per 100,000 people, according to Condé Nast Traveler.

Helsinki has previously ranked well in the GDS index, coming in fourth place in 2023, although this is the first time it's taken the top spot.

"Being named the world's most sustainable travel destination is proof of the long-term work that has been done in Helsinki," Helsinki Mayor Juhana Vartiainen said.

The other cities in the GDS' top five for 2024 are also in Nordic countries, with Gothenburg in second place. The city, which is in the west of Sweden, ranked first in 2023.

Copenhagen, Denmark, ranked third, Norway's Bergen came in fourth, and another Danish city, Arthus, was in fifth place.

Most of the top 20 cities were in Europe, too, with the exception of Singapore in seventh place, Sydney, Australia, in 10th place, and Goyang, South Korea, in 16th place.

THANK YOU FOR  VISITING MY PROFILE!

Thank you for coming to my podcast channel. In this lesson I’m talking about my morning drinks!
Hope you’ll enjoy it.
みんな元気？
今日は朝に飲む飲み物について話そうと思います。
みんなは朝なんか飲む？それともなんにも飲まない？
俺は基本的にはコーヒーが好きだから毎朝コーヒー飲んでるんだけど、最近ねぇ、自分がちょっと飲みすぎてることに気付いたから少し飲む量を控えてるんだよね。
でも、コーヒーはまだ普通に好きだから、完全に飲まないって訳じゃなくて、お茶を代わりに飲むようにしてる！
って言うのもさぁ、俺今スウェーデンから追い出されて日本に一時的に帰って来てるんだけど、最近はおばあちゃんちでお世話になっててさ、毎日コーヒー飲んでたらおばあちゃんに『いや、あんたもう飲みすぎよぉ！コーヒーがどんどん減ってっちゃうじゃないのよぉ！！コーヒーばっかりじゃなくてお茶も飲むようにしなさいよぉ！』って言われたのもあるんだけどね笑
しかも俺強いブラックコーヒーが好きだからさ、おばあちゃんの3倍くらい入れてどんどんどんどん無くなっちゃうんだよね😭
俺のスウェーデン人の妻は今スウェーデンにいるんだけど、彼女もコーヒーが大好きだから、スウェーデンにいた時は、めちゃくちゃコーヒー飲んでたけど、最近はめちゃくちゃ飲みたい気持ちを抑えて、コーヒーの代わりになるべくお茶を飲むようにしてます。
んで、みんなは何を飲むんだい？
俺と一緒でコーヒーが大好き！って言う人も、全然コーヒー好きじゃねぇよ！って言う人も、教えてね！
待ってます。
じゃあ、今回も聞いてくれてありがとうございました。
それではまた次回お会いしましょう！
バイバイ！
