Hello and welcome back to your English five a day on the Elan podcast.
This is a short daily dose of English vocabulary delivered through story.
My name is Anna and you're listening to week seven,
day three of our story following Gabriel, who is currently in Edinburgh.
Yesterday Gabriel enjoyed a bonny Scottish breakfast and began picking up some local expressions.
Today the city begins to affect him more deeply, not just visually, but emotionally.
As always,
supporting materials for today's lesson are available at www.joinelan.com forward slash plus.
So, let's begin today with a quick snapshot.
As Gabriel walks along the Royal Mile,
he feels invigorated by the crisp wind, then suddenly more contemplative.
He is awed by the castle above him,
slightly wistful about home and ultimately enchanted by the atmosphere of the city.
Did you know all of those words?
Well, don't worry because now we're heading into our vocabulary breakdown Yes,
let's take a closer look at today's five words We heard invigorated.
I love this word invigorated If you are invigorated,
it means that you're feeling energized and refreshed for example I felt invigorated after the walk.
Then we heard contemplative.
Contemplative.
