Hello and welcome back to your English five a day on the English Like a Native podcast.
This is the daily podcast that helps intermediate to advanced level learners
build natural English vocabulary through stories.
My name is Anna and you're listening to week nine, day three of Gabriel's journey across the UK.
He is currently in the Scottish Highlands.
Yesterday, Gabriel and Isla battled biting winds and sudden showers on a dramatic clifftop walk near Ullapool.
But today, Gabriel sets out alone for a small island adventure.
Supporting materials for this season are available over at www. joinelan. com forward slash plus.
And now, let's begin with a snapshot.
On the ferry to the Summer Isles, Gabriel gazes across the open water.
Later, he traces his hiking route on a map before setting off along the island trail.
Along the way, he spots seals resting on the rocks,
scrambles over uneven outcrops and occasionally grasps branches to steady himself on the rugged path.
Fantastic.
Let's now break down today's vocabulary.
Today we're looking at five verbs, starting with gaze.
G-A-Z-E.
To gaze.
This is to look steadily at something, usually with interest or admiration.
For example, she gazed at the sunset.
