7 分钟Hello and welcome back to your English Five a Day, season three on the Elan podcast.
This is a short daily podcast for intermediate to advanced level English learners who want to build natural English vocabulary through stories.
I'm Anna and this is week three day two of our story following Gabriel in Liverpool.
Yesterday a Beatles walking tour and unexpected weather shaped Gabriel's day.
Today music remains at the heart of his experience but this time it's the people.
and their conversations that leave the strongest impression.
While enjoying this story you'll also learn five useful adjectives for talking about music.
Supporting materials for this lesson are available at www.joineelan.com forward slash plus.
So let's begin with a quick snapshot.
As Gabriel waits for the bus to Penny Lane, he listens to catchy,
upbeat songs played by local buskers to lift spirits in the drizzle.
Their lively chatter fills the bus stop and when they talk about certain Beatles tracks,
their voices soften, sounding almost nostalgic.
One song in particular strikes Gabriel as deeply moving,
reminding him why music connects people so easily.
Alright, it's time for today's vocabulary breakdown.
We had the adjective catchy.
This means that something is easy to remember.
It sticks in your head.
For example, oh that tune is so catchy.
