Take a Walk VS Go For a Walk Advanced English Vocabulary Lesson
hi i’m vanessa from speak english with
vanessa calm do you like to take a walk
let’s talk about it today we’re going to
talk about two ways to talk about
walking you could say I like to walk I
like to run I like to run fast well
that’s okay but it’s pretty basic and I
think that you’re here watching this
video because you want to increase your
vocabulary maybe make your sentences a
little more complex so let’s talk about
the first way to talk complexly about
walking last week when I went to the
doctor’s office
she said Vanessa you need to take a walk
for 30 minutes every day don’t miss one
day because when you take a walk for 30
minutes it’s helping your body it’s
clearing your mind and it’s helping you
prepare for the future because I’m gonna
have a baby my body needs to be strong
so she said even though you might feel
uncomfortable simply take a walk for 30
minutes every day and it’s good minimal
exercise here’s the expression take a
walk are you taking like physically
taking a walk no no we’re not taking a
walk but you are going and you are
walking so we could say I take a walk
every day take a walk I take a walk or
you could say I take a run every day and
that means you’re not walking you are
going faster you’re running I like to
take a run three days a week for 30
minutes I try to take a run but it
doesn’t always happen take a walk take a
run
what about the second one the second
expression we use just as much as the
first one so both of these are perfectly
fine you could say I need to go for a
walk every day for 30 minutes I should
go for a walk every day we have a walk
which is the same but the beginning is
different go for go for a walk take a
walk so both of these mean the same
thing take a walk take a run go for a
walk go for a run and it means that you
are taking time to exercise your body
clear your mind
enjoy beautiful nature enjoy the
springtime or maybe another season if
it’s another season for you you’re
enjoying being outside you could take a
walk inside maybe you have a treadmill
and you are going for a walk on the
treadmill you’re taking a walk on the
treadmill on the machine it’s rainy
outside you have no choice you can’t go
outside so you can take a run on the
treadmill go for a run on the treadmill
both of these are more complex ways to
talk about walking and running for
simple things I want to show you a place
that I like to take a walk let’s take a
look at this little video clip here you
can see that we’re in the woods on a
beautiful day dan is taking a walk in
nature he’s enjoying the fresh air and
having a good time so I want to know for

neighborhood when I go for a walk around
my neighborhood my mind feels clear my
