Past simple

(AIKO) I wasn't ready! I wasn't ready! (GREG) OK. (AIKO) OK. OK. OK.

(AIKO) What!? (GREG) Aren't you gonna say something

(AIKO) Aaaauuhm! Hello, world! This is what streets around the world are like.

(SANDRA) Hi! I'm Sandra. (GREG) Wow! Thanks for making that intro for us!

(AIKO) Yeah. (GREG) I'm going to use my IPad to read this, because I won't pronounce it correctly

or don't know how to even say it. But let me try. It's... The first person up is Madhavsreedar, and she lives in Trivandrum...

And I did not pronounce that right. And where is that? (AIKO) It's in India.

(GREG) And what about India? What did you see in the video? (AIKO) Well... Um... The streets are really busy.

(GREG) Yeah. Super busy. And what about the small streets? (AIKO) The small streets are kind of... mmm... kind of broken?

(MADHAVSREEDAR) Hello, world! So in this video I'm going to show you what an indian street is like.

So as you can see, this is the main street, and it has horrendous traffic,

and it's always like this, it's very crowded.

So this is really the front of the street.

And the road. The quality of the road is also different. This is really bad, full of holes.

So the particular street I am at now is a really difficult street because of this slope

I don't know if there is something special or useful from this video, but thanks for watching.

(SHIN) I like the one they have like, on the street, they have some monkeys.

(GREG) Oh! The monkey sign. Yeah. (SHIN) Yeah. That was funny.

(GREG) All right. Next up is Nathan and he is the Ninja Monkey in Gibraltar.

(AIKO) Yeah. Um... His town... I mean, city kind of thing, is really small,

and there is monkeys in it. But they'll bite you.

(GREG) And it's an old castle town. (AIKO) Yeah.

(NATHAN) Hi! I'm Nathan, from the channel Ninja Monkey,

and where I'm from in Gibraltar, this is what our streets are like. Follow me!

Where I'm from we have outdoor scalators, like the one behind me, that join streets together.

Where I'm from we have these dark streets, with steps on them, like the one behind me,

You can buy all sorts of stuff like, for example, a Moroccan cake.

What is it? (VENDOR) It's almonds. (NATHAN) Almonds.

And we pay with the British pound here, because Gibraltar is British.

Where I'm from we have traditional phone booths in the streets, like the one behind me.

Our streets sometimes have two names, like this one here.

Castle street's the new street name, and calle Comedia, the Spanish traditional name,

Where I'm from, we have British pubs, like the one behind me, The Horseshoe.

And The Royal Calpe. Or The Gibraltar Arms. And The Angry Friar.

On our streets there are many places where we can have coffee

and some squares where you can enjoy a nice meal.

We also have some interesting architectural features like balconies, that have Venetian blinds and Victorian balconies.

We sometimes find monkeys in our streets, which is why we have a sign like this one.

"Do not feed the macaques." Or they will bite.

So that's what some of our streets are like here in Gibraltar, where I'm from.

(GREG) All right. Next up is Cristina and she lives in Lisbon. (AIKO) Which is Portugal.

(GREG) Yup. It's in Portugal. (AIKO) Yup. (GREG) And what about it? (AIKO) It has a... what do you call it? Aqua...

(GREG) Aqueduct. (AIKO) Yup. Aqueduct. It's kinda like a bridge.

But like... It looks like a bridge in which you can put cars, but it has water in it.

(CRISTINA) Hello, world! My name is Cristina, and where I'm from in Lisbon, Portugal, this is what streets are like.

Streets are normally like this, like dead end streets.

I used to play in here, when I was little.

Portuguese people love parks and just to chill. They chill everywhere! (laughs)

This is our aqueduct that brings water to everyone across town.

That's my elementary school and it's like 5 minutes from my house,

but I always managed to arrive like 10 or 15 minutes late.

Almost every street has these for recycling the garbage.

(AIKO) Next video is Mae and she lives in Cambridge, England.

(MAE) Hi, everyone! Streets in England differ greatly, depending on wherever is you live.

Most villages where we're from are hundreds of years old.

You'll often see a big mix of the types of houses that you'll see on the street.

Here you can see a 1960's bungalow and a Victorian house as neighbors.

And there is a XVII century Dutch cottage here next to the 1970's new built house.

On quiet roads like this you can go out with your friends and play ball games or rollerblading.

This is a bike path. It's where when you're riding your bike you have to go on that lane,

but when you're walking, you have to go on this lane.

The street that ___ is called the High Street. The High Street is the most popular street name in the whole UK.

The High Street is where you find the shops.

While you can live on bigger roads, most people live on purely housing streets, like this cul-de-sac.

Lots of paths have grass ___ and maybe some trees on them.

I hope you've enjoyed learning about streets on our part of England.

(GREG) Next video you're about to see is from Madeleine and Kiva, and they live in Boston.

(AIKO) Yup. And they have a cat that has a leash. And their roads are kind of small.

(GREG) They said it was busy. (AIKO) Yeah. It was busy but... Yeah. Busy.

(GREG) India was much busier. (AIKO) Yeah.

(GREG) Yeah. And where is Boston? (AIKO) In America.

(MADELEINE) Hello, world! This is what streets are like in New England.

In our neighborhood it's mostly houses, because we live in what is called the suburbs.

Here, like in the rest of the country, people drive in the correct... I mean, the right side of the road.

Most main streets have double yellow lines down the middle, in order to separate the two lanes of traffic.

Our neighborhood has been labeled a "school zone", because we live right next to an elementary school.

In school zones, people have to drive slower so as not to run over any children.

Quite of our streets often don't have sidewalks and are a lot more uneven.

At each crosswalk we have this bumpy rectangles, which are there so blind people know when they've reached the end of the sidewalk.

Many streets have storm drains, where water runs off, but not waste.

And this is our house, with the cute red door and the white picket fence, because we're living that American dream.

(GREG) For the next video it's Simon, in Santiago.

(AIKO) And his street... I mean, where he lives, his streets has lots of... what do you call it? Spray thing?

(GREG) What's...? Yeah! Spray... Graffiti. (AIKO) Yeah. Graffiti. And this is... this looks like graffiti.

(GREG) And what country is Santiago? (AIKO) Um... Chil... le...
