My name is Anna and you're listening to week 36,
day four of your English Five a Day, a second season.
I'm very pleased that you are back again for your daily dose of English language so that you can expand your vocabulary,
improve your listening skills and In time,
start to feel more like yourself when communicating in English.
A nice steady pace wins the race.
Okay, let's begin today's episode as we always do with a snapshot of what's to come.
The complex layout of Venice's narrow alleyways completely stumped the tourists.
causing them to walk in circles for hours instead of doing proper sightseeing.
Eventually,
they discovered a charming cafe tucked away behind a church where the friendly owner explained that they were actually in the beating heart of the old city.
Despite being lost,
they realised this hidden neighbourhood was far more liveable and authentic than the crowded tourist area they were trying to find.
All right, so let's dive into our vocabulary.
Starting with the noun sightseeing.
All on word, we spell it S-I-G-H-T S-E-E-I-N-G.
Sightseeing.
Sightseeing is the act of visiting famous or interesting places for fun sightseeing.
I'm sure you've done a bit of sightseeing.
