Hello and welcome back to your English five a day on the English Like a Nature podcast.
This is your daily dip into the English language so that slowly but surely over time
you increase your English vocabulary, improve your listening skills and generally become more
confident with the English language.
My name is Anna.
We're on season three and today is week 10, day four of our story following Gabriel's journey across the UK.
Why are we following Gabriel?
Because learning through stories is the best and most effective way to learn.
Now, yesterday, Gabriel and Sophie visited a grand stately home with sweeping lawns,
curated interiors and even a hedge maze.
But their journey home didn't quite go to plan.
Today, they stay closer to Bristol and explore something very different.
The world of street art, where creativity, politics and controversy often collide.
Supporting materials for Season 3 are available at www. joinelan. com forward slash plus.
Now let's begin with a snapshot of what's to come.
On a guided street art tour in Bristol, Gabriel learns that Banksy's work often uses satire to challenge authority.
The guide explains how many pieces are created using a stencil.
And discusses whether street art is creative expression or vandalism.
He also introduces the idea of subversion and explains why Banksy doesn't use tags like other graffiti artists.
Okay, let's now break down today's target vocabulary.
