Ok, the main topic of this lesson is adventure, both big and small, even though in the title we have only a big adventure.
00:00:01
But let's start with a couple of questions.
00:00:14
Here they say, look at the map, how far do you think it is from London to Singapore?
00:00:18
How long do you think it would take to do the journey by plane?
00:00:26
Pause the video and try to answer.
00:00:31
Okay, now we go with exercise B.
00:00:40
Read the introduction to the article.
00:00:45
What rule did the pair have to follow?
00:00:48
Please pause the video and try to answer.
00:00:52
Okay, now let's go with exercise D, which is listen.
00:01:06
Now you have to listen to what happened in the end of the journey.
00:01:15
You have 10 seconds to read through the old question that you have.
00:01:24
OK.
00:01:40
2.10
00:01:57
Five couples left London at the start of the race and one was eliminated during the journey,
00:01:58
leaving four to cross the finish line in Singapore.
00:02:04
The couples had travelled by train, bus, boat and taxi
00:02:07
through mountains, deserts and tropical islands.
00:02:11
They had worked in farms, flower shops, hostels and animal sanctuaries on their journeys,
00:02:14
exploring different cultures, taking risks and confronting their fears.
00:02:19
The eventual winners were 61-year-old retired teachers Tony and Elaine
00:02:24
who claimed the £20,000 prize money.
00:02:28
Natalie and Shamima finished third overall and Josh and Felix last.
00:02:32
They didn't have enough money to reach the final checkpoint,
00:02:36
but were given the money by Natalie and Shamima so that they could complete the race.
00:02:39
The contestants remember relying on people's help, laughing, connecting without a common language,
00:02:44
feeling exhausted, despondent and jubilant, finding their courage
00:02:50
and discovering that if you show respect, kindness is universal.
00:02:54
The loveliest moments, they all say, were chatting with people on trains,
00:02:59
Tales of hair plaiting, exchanging chocolate for chicken, sharing photos, the gesture of a hand on heart.
00:03:03
The teams returned home in December.
00:03:10
Before jumping back into work, Josh and Felix took a holiday with their girlfriends.
00:03:13
Natalie went on a month's silent meditation.
00:03:18
Shamima enrolled in a boxing class and won a match in front of 1,000 people, including her daughters and Natalie.
00:03:20
Josh recalls that at first the production crew tried to G up the competitive side of the race
00:03:27
but soon, he says, they realised it was about the human stories
00:03:33
It's always about the human stories
00:03:37
Now we check both the reading and the listen
00:03:40
You ready?
00:03:48
So, for the reading, rules are that they are not allowed to have a phone or credit or debit card
00:03:51
They can take planes
00:04:03
They are given a limited budget for the whole trip, which they have to keep within.
00:04:05
This adds up to approximately 25 pounds per day.
00:04:11
Related to the listening, the exercise 1d. Here you have the answer 1.
00:04:19
8 contestants, 4 couples, finish the race. They travel by train, bus, boat and taxi.
00:04:28
They work in different places, e.g. farms, flower shops, etc.
00:04:34
They explore different cultures.
00:04:40

00:04:44
3. Josh and Felix finished last.
00:04:47

00:04:52
4. That people are kind.
00:04:56
Chatting with people on trains, hair plaiting,
00:04:59

00:05:02
5. Josh and Felix went on holidays with their girlfriends.
00:05:05

00:05:10
Sorry, six human stories.
00:05:16
Okay, now we go to the reading.
00:05:21
They say, read a new article about the winners of a race across the world.
00:05:25
What are they going to do with the prize money?
00:05:31
Are they still in touch with the other couples?
00:05:35
now pause the video and try to answer the question for this reading activity
00:05:41
okay let's have a look at the answers so they are going to divide it between themselves and
00:06:01
their three children yes and if possible they are planning to go on new adventures together
00:06:10
okay now let's see the difference between trip travel and journey
00:06:20
travel is mainly used as a verb and it means to go to a place for example I
00:06:23
travel to London when you're talking about and now we use a trip and trip
00:06:35
means a journey in which you go somewhere usually for a short time and
00:06:43
then you come back for example as a nice school trip or I was on a business trip
00:06:48
last week now we'll see the difference between travel as a noun and journey we
00:06:55
use journey normally for a trip over a long period or a great distance for
00:07:11
example how about your journey or journey to the center of the earth the
00:07:20
famous novel if we use journey as a verb it means to start a journey for example
00:07:25
For example, I'll join into Mexico City ASAP.
00:07:32
ASAP means as soon as possible.
00:07:36
If you use travel as a noun, it's mostly used as an uncountable noun.
00:07:40
For example, there is too much travel.
00:07:46
Travel is also used for compound names, like travel agency, travel insurance, travel expenses,
00:07:50
or time travel.
