  Hello and welcome to the English Like a Native podcast.

• 00:04

  My name is Anna and you're listening to week 32, day 5 of your English 5 a day, the second season.

• 00:15

  With this series,

• 00:17

  you are building and maintaining a healthy habit of dipping daily into the English language so that no matter what you do,

• 00:29

  As long as you listen on a regular basis, you are expanding your vocabulary,

• 00:36

  improving your listening skills and slowly but surely starting to feel more like yourself when communicating in English.

• 00:47

  Now, today is Friday,

• 00:49

  so this is the day where we bring together all the vocabulary that we visited this week in one big story.

• 00:58

  So all you have to do is sit back, relax and listen.

• 01:04

  Let's go.

• 01:09

  A memorable Highland adventure.

• 01:14

  In the summer of 2011,

• 01:16

  my partner and I were on holiday in the Scottish Highlands when we decided to tackle Cairngorm,

• 01:24

  one of Scotland's most famous peaks.

• 01:28

  At 1,245 metres high,

• 01:32

  it's the sixth tallest mountain in the British Isles and sits proudly in the Cairngorms Range.

• 01:41

  What makes it particularly well known is the funicular railway that carries skiers to near the summit during winter months.

• 01:52

  Scottish mountains might not be the tallest in the world,

• 01:56

  but they are notorious for their unpredictable and harsh conditions.

• 02:02

  Cairngorm is especially famous for its extreme winds, sudden blizzards and rapidly changing weather.
