In this episode, we explore the sunny state of Florida. Learn about its history, beautiful beaches, famous theme parks, and unique wildlife, all in simple English!

United States explained (A2 Level)

Episode 1: Discovering Florida

The word “vacation” in Thai is พักร้อน (pák-rón)
พัก (pák) = to rest
ร้อน (rón) = ฤดูร้อน (réu-doo-rón) = summer
พักร้อน (pák-rón) = to go on vacation or to take a vacation/annual leave 

You can ask someone:
คุณจะไปพักร้อนที่ไหน (kun jà bpai pák-rón têe-nai) = Where are you going on vacation?
จะ (jà) = will
ไป (bpai) = to go
พักร้อน (pák-rón) = vacation/ annual leave 
ที่ไหน (têe-nai) = where

Now, let’s learn more phrases 

1. ไปเที่ยว (bpai-tîiao) = to go visit somewhere or go on vacation.
ไป (bpai) = to go
เที่ยว (tîiao) = to travel/ visit somewhere 

ผมจะไปเที่ยวเชียงใหม่ (pǒm jà bpai tîiao chiiang-mài) = I’m going to visit Chiang Mai.

ฉันอยากไปเที่ยวทะเลแล้วก็ดำน้ำ (chan yàak bpai-tîiao tá-lay láew-gôr dam-náam) = I want to go to the sea and snorkel.
อยาก (yàak) = to want to do sth
ทะเล (tá-lay) = sea
แล้วก็ (láew-gôr) = and, and then
ดำน้ำ (dam-náam) = to snorkel/ dive 

2. เที่ยวให้สนุกนะ (tîiao hâi sà-nùk ná) = Have fun. Have a great trip.
สนุก (sà-nùk) = fun

3. เดินทางปลอดภัย (dern-taang bplòt-pai) = Have a safe trip.
เดินทาง (dern-taang) = to travel
ปลอดภัย (bplòt-pai) = safe

4. กลับบ้าน (glàp-bâan) = to go back home
กลับ (glàp) = to go back
บ้าน (bâan) = home

This can also mean to go back to hometown to visit their family as well.

All right. We have seven phrases today. Let’s repeat again.

1. พักร้อน (pák-rón) = to go on vacation or to take a vacation/annual leave 

2. คุณจะไปพักร้อนที่ไหน (kun jà bpai pák-rón têe-nai) = Where are you going on vacation?

3. ผมจะไปเที่ยวเชียงใหม่ (pǒm jà bpai tîiao chiiang-mài) = I’m going to visit Chiang Mai.

4. ฉันอยากไปเที่ยวทะเล แล้วก็ดำน้ำ (chan yàak bpai-tîiao tá-lay láew-gôr dam-náam) = I want to go to the sea and snorkel.

5. เที่ยวให้สนุกนะ (tîiao hâi sà-nùk ná) = Have fun. Have a great trip.

6. เดินทางปลอดภัย (dern-taang bplòt-pai) = Have a safe trip.

7. กลับบ้าน (glàp-bâan) = to go back home

How was it? Hope these words and phrases are useful for you. See you after my vacation. แล้วเจอกันคะ Bye-Bye!

Use these tips to improve your IELTS speaking band score.

When we are preparing for our IELTS speaking part 2, we must make sure that we use connectors.

But what are connectors?

Connectors, also known as linking words or discourse markers, are words and phrases we use to connect our sentences.

For example, let’s imagine we’ve been given the subject of speaking about a member of our family that we get on well with.

It’s a good idea to introduce your speaking with a phrase like “Let’s begin” or “let’s make a start.” These are both connectors.

Secondly, use a variety of adverbs: actually, surprisingly, similarly, really, very, extremely, rarely, sometimes, never, always etc.

Thirdly, if you can, use an idiom. In the following example I used an idiom at the end. See if you can spot it.

Here is an example of the speaking part 2 exercise.

Let’s make a start.

Surprisingly, I get on really well with my sister. In fact, my sister is a really inspiring person. Actually, she’s younger than me. 

I find her inspiring because she’s a champion swimmer. I would never race her. She’s so fast. To be honest, she trains really hard, especially when she has to finish her homework and then go to the swimming pool as well.

Unfortunately, I don’t get to hang out with her very much, because she’s always busy. But when we do meet up, we always have fun. Usually we go shopping. Sometimes we play video games. 

My sister is extremely funny. She has a great sense of humour. We always have a laugh when we spend time together. We rarely argue. Mostly, we get on like a house on fire.

Please do the exercises and find the missing words.
