The SCARIEST BEACH DAY! 🏖️ — Slow English Podcast for A1-A2 Beginners (comprehensible input)

Hello and welcome back to my slow English [Music] podcast. This podcast is for English beginner listeners to practice listening to a slow comprehensible English. Today I want to talk to you about my week and a story of something scary that happened to me this week. This week I had a wonderful time. I met some cool people and I made some new friends. I went to the beach almost every day. Maybe only one day. I didn't go to the beach. But I just love the beach. I love the salt water. It feels so good for my body. If anything is aching or hurting or sore, I always take a swim in the ocean or in salt water and I immediately feel better. The only problem is that the waves are massive. The waves in Puerto Escondo are huge. For example, yesterday I saw some of my old friends from middle school. There is elementary school, middle school and high school. Then university and college. But my friends from middle school are in Puerto Escondido right now. So I went to see them yesterday. They are my old friends from my hometown. It had been so long since the last time I saw them, but they are such beautiful friends. I have so many laughs with them. So, we met up and they picked me up from my hostel and we drove to the beach. to a new beach called Cipol, a new beach for me because I had never gone there. And at Cipol Beach, the waves aren't that big, so you can still swim in the ocean. So with my friends, we got into the water and we swam for a little bit. I swam and I was just chilling in the water talking to a friend when all of the sudden out of nowhere I couldn't feel the sand and I wasn't just floating in the water but I could feel the current pulling me out. Little by little, I felt the current pull me out until I couldn't feel the sand at all. And it was getting really difficult to stay in one place. So honestly, I got a little nervous and I started swimming back a little bit intense. But then I realized I couldn't swim. The current was so strong. So I started swimming back. But every time I got close, I felt a current pull me back out. So I would swim again. Then a big wave would come and I would have to swim under the wave so that I wouldn't get smashed. in the face or water in my nose, but I would get out of the wave and begin swimming with all of my might and all of my strength. I would swim. Another wave would come and crash right onto me. And I would get out and swim. And just as I would be reaching the sand, another current would drag me out until I finally realized I shouldn't swim under the wave. But I should let the wave carry me with it. So, I managed to ride the wave back to shore. There was even a lifeguard yelling at me. He was yelling, "Hey, you need to get out of there. There is a strong current." Obviously, I know. So, finally I got out and my two other friends got out as well and we were all just panicking. We were all shook. It was scary. The ocean is very powerful. You have to respect the ocean and you have to always be careful. No human is stronger than the ocean. No matter how much we want to be, we aren't stronger than the ocean. But after that, I ate some fish tacos and I felt just fine. Then we drove back and I went out to eat pasta with my friends. I ordered carbonara pasta and it was amazing. But I felt so full afterwards. My belly or stomach really hurt. I couldn't finish my whole meal. So I had to order it to go to take away. I took my leftovers in a box. How often do you have leftovers? Do you like taking your leftovers with you or do you prefer to not carry them with you? Sometimes it's a little annoying to take my leftovers with me and carry them and walk with them. But I hate wasting food. So I always take my leftovers with me. No matter what, I won't waste any food. Even my family. I always eat my family's leftovers, especially my mom's leftovers. She doesn't eat all the chicken on the chicken bowl. So, I always eat the leftovers on the chicken bones that my mom doesn't finish. But what can I say? I hate wasting food. After that, my friends dropped me off back at my hostel and they told me, "Just leave your leftovers and then come back out to party." I said, "Yes, I will." But I was too sleepy. I went straight to bed. I was exhausted from the walking and the intense swimming, from that scary wave. And of course, I was also exhausted from the sun. But this morning, I felt super inspired. I decided to go for a run. around 8 or 9 a.m. But the sun here is intense. Even at 800 a.m., the heat was very, very intense. And when I got back, I jumped into a cold shower. A freezing shower is just what I need after a long run in the burning sun. It was so refreshing. After my freezing shower, my friend made me some avocado toast with eggs. I had my runny eggs and an avocado toast and it was just what I needed. I think it's the perfect way to start your day. So, I ate while I finished some work and I wrote some new scripts for my slow English podcast and I did some yoga with my friend. I've been eating avocado toast with eggs every day since I arrived. After that, I bought a new beautiful necklace and it's amazonite stone. It's supposed to make me feel more calm and balanced. I love wearing stones. I think they're very important to balance out energy. We also bought an orange ankle bracelet. After that, I took a long nap and I feel so good now. I feel like a brand new person, energized and ready for the day. I'm excited to continue working on making more English videos and I'm excited to continue expressing my creativity in ways that can benefit and help learn English. I'm so excited to continue meeting you guys. So try and tell me about your day so far. Something really good and maybe something not so good. And how did you deal with it? How did you get past that negative feeling? Thank you for listening to my Slow English podcast and I'll see you next time. Bye. [Music]
