Do you watch short videos on social media to learn new things? BBC Learning English has a fun new video for language learners. Presenters George and Annie joined a popular internet trend to help you practice your vocabulary. They made a short clip that shows different ways to move between floors in a building.
In this creative clip, each presenter acts out various ways people move up and down in modern buildings and hidden rooms. First, they walk up simple stairs to show basic movement in everyday houses. Next, they stand on an imaginary escalator like the ones you see in big shopping centers or train stations. After that, they show how to ride a modern lift, which people in America often call an elevator. Finally, the pair tries to act out a secret trapdoor that disappears into the ground unexpectedly. Every movement helps viewers connect common English words with fun visual actions. Viewers can write a comment on the video page to share which actor did a better job. The hosts also ask viewers to guess what hidden word appears at the very end of the short clip. Watching this kind of video makes remembering new words much easier because you can see the action while you listen.
Taking on a viral challenge is a smart way to make learning enjoyable. You can check out their latest short video online today and test your own English skills.
