User: Description: If you are NOT new to my channel,
and if you follow my channel,
you might remember that&nbsp;
last year we got on a plane
and I took you to San Francisco!
"Crazy, it's beautiful, beautiful!"
Today I would like to take&nbsp;
you back to San Francisco
to visit two of the famous icons,
two famous symbols of San Francisco,
and have quick look at the&nbsp;
history of San Francisco.
So if you think it's a good idea,&nbsp;&nbsp;
give me a "thumbs up"
and come with me!
Hello if you ARE new to my channel, I'm Rachel.
Welcome to smile English stories
where you can listen to English&nbsp;
in lots of different contexts.
If I speak too quickly, or too slowly,
you can change the speed in YouTube.
Oh and shh! Yes dad, my shutters need painting!
Do you remember when I went on the old cable car?
“Oh my gosh! Do you see that slope?
Do you see how steep it is?
“Oh, we're going round the corner!”
The San Francisco cable car&nbsp;
has a mechanical system,&nbsp;
not electric and not electronic,
just like a cable car you&nbsp;
might see in the mountains.
There are two rails on the road&nbsp;
for the wheels of the cable&nbsp;
car the cable car wheels,
and in the middle, there is a long slit.
The cable is under the road.
The driver has a lever he can push forward
to stop the cable car,&nbsp;
or backwards to make it go.
The lever goes down under the cable car,
down under the road,
and it is attached to a sort of&nbsp;&nbsp;
housing, like a house
or case like a telephone case!
In the housing are two jaws&nbsp;
which can open and close.
When the driver pushes the lever forward,
the jaws open and the tram stops (thank you!)
When the driver pulls the lever back,
the jaws close,
they pick up the cable
and the tram goes... bye-bye!
So let's go!
Do you remember me driving&nbsp;
over the Golden Gate Bridge?
(the big bridge, the famous bridge
at the entrance to the San Francisco bay)
The Golden Gate Bridge is really famous.
You often see it in films.
It has been destroyed nine times&nbsp;
in the last 10 years in films.
The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge,
because it hangs (like my hanging basket)
on suspension cables.
The bridge is 2.7 kilometres long,
so it's not the longest bridge&nbsp;
in the San Francisco bay area.
It's the Highway 101 which goes across the bridge.
The Highway 101 goes all the&nbsp;
way up the coast of California.
And 110 000 vehicles cross the&nbsp;
Golden Gate Bridge every day.
It took four years to build&nbsp;
the Golden Gate Bridge,
and the bridge opened in 1937.
And on the day it opened,
there were a lot of competitions,
because people wanted to be "the first"...
"the first to do something"&nbsp;
on the Golden Gate Bridge...
...the first to run across&nbsp;
the Golden Gate Bridge...
...the first to push a pram&nbsp;
across the Golden Gate Bridge...
...the first to roller skate&nbsp;
across the Golden Gate Bridge...
...and even the first to walk on big&nbsp;
stilts across the Golden Gate Bridge.
I can't walk on stilts, never mind&nbsp;
across the Golden Gate Bridge, can you?
In May 1985, it was the 50th&nbsp;
anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge,
and so there was a big celebration...
...and the organizers expected 80 000 people
to participate in the celebration,
and to walk across the bridge,
but there was a little problem...
because not 80 000 people came...
...but 800 000 people came to the celebration!
300 000 people started to walk&nbsp;
across or over the bridge,
but the bridge started to arch,
it started to bend&nbsp;&nbsp;
with the weight of all the people,
so the organizers quickly&nbsp;
had to evacuate the bridge!
It could have been a big disaster!
When we went to San Francisco,
we were very lucky to see the Golden Gate Bridge,
because 70 percent of the&nbsp;
time it's covered in fog...
(it's worse than London!)
and especially in the summer!
So we were very lucky with the weather.
A lot of people wonder
(a lot of people ask themselves)
why the Golden Gate Bridge is&nbsp;
a reddy colour and not gold.
Well to understand that you need&nbsp;
to go a little bit back in history.
A lot of people think because of&nbsp;
the Californian Gold Rush... but no!
The first white people to come to San Francisco
came in about 1775.
They were Spanish colonists.
But in 1846, an American&nbsp;
man came to San Francisco.
His name was John Charles Fremont,
and he was an explorer,
but he was also a politician,
and he was in the army.
When Mr. Fremont sailed along the river&nbsp;
between the Pacific ocean&nbsp;
and the bay on his big ship,
it made him think of somewhere else
(it made him think of another place).
it made him think of somewhere else
(it made him think of another place).
It made him think of Istanbul in Turkey.
Istanbul is on the Marmara Sea
between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
And Istanbul is by a river.
The name of the river in English is
the Golden Horn.
So Mr. Fremont called the&nbsp;
water between the Pacific Ocean&nbsp;
and the bay "the Golden Strait".
Look at this!
This is a picture of San Francisco in 1846!
San Francisco grew bigger and bigger and bigger,
then in 1906, the earth started to tremble,
the ground started to tremble,
and there was a big earthquake,
and a big fire in San Francisco,
and one, two, three quarters&nbsp;
of San Francisco was destroyed!
But then the Americans built&nbsp;
San Francisco up again,
and now, today, San Francisco&nbsp;
is one of the biggest&nbsp;
and richest cities in all of the USA.
San Francisco...
America...
...it was our last big trip,
and I haven't even seen my family in England
for one and a half years
(because of lockdown of course)!
But, good news... England is coming&nbsp;
out of lockdown little by little,
so perhaps by the end of the summer,
I might be able to take you&nbsp;
to England... who knows?!
Take care and see you next time!

smileEnglishstories - SMILE English stories with Rachel (me!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I want to… understand English, listen to English I can understand, learn English vocabulary, learn English without grammar, have a conversation in English… improve my English!”

Is that you?

Perfect!  I think you are in the right place… because I want to help you to learn English, to acquire English… I want you to listen to English spoken naturally… and to understand English spoken naturally… to listen to English spoken in lots of different contexts!  I want you to enjoy English!

I want you to practice listening to English, but to listen to interesting English.  

English conversation is often an exchange of stories in English.  To have a conversation in English with someone when you travel in English, you need to master “English small talk”.  For example, you might need to :
- talk about yourself in English
- talk about family in English
- talk about food in English
- talk about weather in English
- talk about holidays in English
- talk about interests in English
- talk about sport in English

So, I am building my smileEnglishstories YouTube channel, to give you one opportunity to listen to English spoken naturally in lots of different contexts.  After all, in England we say, “Variety is the spice of life!”

And I tell you stories in English, because if you listen to interesting stories to learn English, you will be more motivated to listen to English and you will naturally improve your listening comprehension.

I try to use simple English when I make my smileEnglishstories YouTube videos.  Simple, but rich in content!  That means accessible English for beginners (good beginners), but still interesting English for elementary level and interesting English for intermediate levels.


In the comments section, do say what you enjoyed, ask questions or tell me what sort of videos you would like to see!  Then I can make videos you will want to watch!
