the vedio is simple but not simpler. it is amazing and wonderful.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Script:
Wow! This place is busy.
There are cars, buses, and people everywhere.
Oh, this is Oxford Street, one of the most famous places for shopping in the world.
We must be in London!
There’s just so much to see and do in London.
So I'm back for another visit.
Let's go and take a look at some more sights around London.
What's this place?
This is Trafalgar Square!
It is a well-known public space.
The square is named after a famous battle in British history.
There is a tall column in the middle of the square and several statues of lions.
Oh look!
What’s on top of that plinth?
There’s something very unusual here.
It’s a sculpture of a squirt of cream with a cherry on top!
Ew, there’s a fly on it too.
Many different sculptures have been placed on the plinth, such as:
a horse skeleton, a ship in a bottle, and a bright blue cockerel.
Time to leave Trafalgar Square and go somewhere new.
Let's take a ride on the underground.
We are back at Oxford Street.
This is Europe's busiest street for shopping!
There are many well-known department stores here, such as the world famous Selfridges.
You'll find more than just shops on Oxford Street.
There are restaurants, cafes, and even nightclubs here.
A long time ago, the street was known as Tyburn Road.
It was a place where prisoners were publicly hanged!
Don't worry, this doesn't happen anymore.
The street is very different today.
Now, why don't we go and do some shopping?
Okay, I'm done shopping.
Why don't we go for a walk?
Hmm.
What’s that?
When walking around London, you may see red telephone boxes.
They are a common sight in London and the rest of the United Kingdom.
These days, most people use mobile phones.
They don't need to use the telephone boxes.
In some places in the UK they have turned them into little libraries.
Okay, let's keep walking.
Oh look!
We are in a big park.
It looks very peaceful here.
This is Hyde Park.
It is the largest park in Central London.
Why don't we take a look around?
What's this?
It's the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain!
The water flows over different types of surfaces.
The sound is very calming.
Okay, let's move on.
There are lots of things to do in Hyde Park!
You can take a boat out onto the river.
Relax in a deck chair and watch the world go by.
Say hello to some very friendly squirrels.
Listen to public speeches at Speaker's Corner - have something you want to say? Stand on a box, and say it!
Hyde Park isn't the only park in London.
Let's move on to Kensington Gardens.
This park is very close to Hyde Park.
Look at this pretty place.
There are lots of fountains here.
This place is known as the Italian Gardens.
It's a very peaceful place.
Okay, let's continue walking through Kensington Gardens.
Oh, wow.
Look at this building!
It's Kensington Palace.
This is a royal palace.
It was the birthplace of one of England's most famous queens,
Queen Victoria.
You can find a statue of her outside the palace.
Inside the palace, you can see Queen Victoria's childhood dolls house and puppet theater.
You can explore the many rooms that the kings and queens would have used to carry out royal duties.
We are back outside the palace.
What's that noise?
It sounds like chirping.
Oh there are parakeets here!
These are Ring Necked Parakeets.
These beautiful green birds are normally found in India
and parts of Africa.
People are unsure how they got here!
Okay, let's leave Kensington Gardens and go somewhere new.
Instead of walking, how about we take a bus?
These big red buses are found almost everywhere in London.
They are a great way to travel around the city.
Look over there!
This is Piccadilly Circus.
It's very busy.
There are lots of people and cars here.
Look at this billboard with lots of advertisements on it.
These billboards weren't always big screens, they have changed a lot over the years.
The first billboard was put up over a hundred years ago.
Just over there… is Leicester Square.
This is a part of London known for its entertainment.
There are many theatres here where plays and musicals are performed.
It's a great place for a night out.
Let's go somewhere new.
Wow.
What's this beautiful building?
It's the Natural History Museum.
This is a very popular place to visit with children.
At the museum, you can learn all about animals, the earth and space.
You may even see a dinosaur!
Don't worry this one isn't real.
You can, however, find lots of dinosaur fossils here in the museum.
Look up there!
That's a skeleton of a blue whale.
You don't see one of those everyday!
I hope you enjoyed your visit to London.

Hello. Can you give us the scrip, like in the first video? Thank you
Yes, of course.😊I've posted the script as a comment and pinned it to the top.
@@SimpleEnglishUK Thank you! I am a volunteer teacher in Portugal and this is very useful!
Happy to help! I'm glad you're finding the videos useful.😊
Si en la presentación cambiaran las letras en color blanco y más grandes en mi caso vería perfecto, por lo q me operaron de derrame bascular de mi ojo derecho y me dificulta mirar las letras pequeñas.
Thank you for your suggestion. I will think about how to make the subtitles easier to see in the next video. 😊
Блін за вас мене учілка по англ мові заставила переписувать весь текст цього відео. Я чуть не вмер коли дописав. Я в суд на вас подам !!!
🤣 I'm sorry to hear that. To make it up to you, I'll release an extra long video, so you better work on building up those muscles. 💪
Thank you.
Похожая ситуация,почему видео такое длинное 😢😂
@@just_person215 Да розумію тебе 🥲😏
Seriously! I showed this to teens and they were perplexed by the way the narrator spoke.
We don’t speak like that, come on now!
A really informative video nevertheless.
Thank you for your feedback! It’s fascinating to hear that the narration style came across as perplexing to the teens you showed it to. I aimed to present the content in a clear, enunciated manner, considering that this video is tailored for non-native English speakers working on improving their language skills. The choice of narration style reflects a more formal aspect of English as spoken in England, where I was born and raised. I’m genuinely curious to learn about your perspectives on how English is spoken differently.
@@SimpleEnglishUK Yes, it was simple to understand, no doubt at all…But that’s just it. People speak with less intonation in relation to how you spoke and pronounced words.
If you listen to all sorts of English speaking people in the UK, on average they speak faster than you did in the video.
I showed your video to high level ESL students at C2 level and then showed other activities as well as the BBC and a variety of UK accents and the majority agreed that although they understood you totally, they realised that it was not the case with other recordings.
I, myself, am from London and have travelled extensively in The UK and have found that most people speak quicker as well with people not putting emphasis into their dialogue as you did…
Hence my statement originally…
The most important thing is to communicate clearly. You do that in the video, very well.
I just do not come across people speaking like that in general.

Me alegra mucho con mirar también, apenas estoy estudiando y no entiendo todavía lo q dicen.
Y las letras están pequeñas me dificulta mirarlas por lo q veo muy poco.
