AE 332 – WWP:
In A Sunburned Country Book Review
What’s going on guys? Welcome to this episode of Walking With Pete. I’m out here.
Just crossed the road from my house. Walking across Flemington Road and up into the park. Just felt like going for a little late-night walk.
I think it’s about 9:20, maybe 9:30, in the evening.
And it’s pretty cold. It’s pretty cold. I thought oh yeah I’ll only need one jumper.
And I walked outside, let the door shut behind me, and instantly it was like, ah…
Totally, should’ve gotten another one, but I’m sure I’ll get warm as soon as I start walking, I thought.
So, we’ll see how we go. But, I tell you what I’m so glad that I have grown a beard this year.
The beard was totally underrated by me. And I didn’t appreciate just how cold my chin used to always be.
So, for men listening to the podcast, if you’re somewhere cold think about growing a beard.
And, for women, I guess, get a really thick scarf.
Unless you can, you know, grow a beard. In which case, power to you. Go for it.
So yeah, I thought I would go out here for a walk tonight and just have a chat to you guys.
Come up with some topics to chat about. I hadn’t really thought of any.
So, I’ll just keep chatting away until I come up with some. I guess one thing I can do is sort of review the Bill Bryson book that I recently read or, rather, listened to.
So, I listened to this as an audio book. This was amazing. So, Bill Bryson’s an author.
I believe he’s from the US. I think he’s from Dartmouth College, actually. So, a University over in the US.
And he wrote a book called, I think it’s either Down Under or In A Sunburned Country. I’ve seen both titles.
So, I think it depends on if you get it and it’s the British version, which is probably going to be In A Sunburnt Country, and I think that he made the US version of the book just Down Under, or something like that.
Anyway, I should’ve reviewed it straight after having read it, but I only just remembered now that I hadn’t.
So, I really recommend reading it. This guy’s great. He’s a really good writer.
Very high level of English that he uses, although you will definitely understand it even if you’re at intermediate, upper intermediate, and getting into advanced with regards to your Australian English.
I think if you can understand me and the kind of language that I use, he’s obviously a lot more advanced, but I think you’ll be fine.
Anyway, he’s really funny. He’s kind of Australian with regards to his humour,
