Taking IELTS? Get our free IELTS video training course now Today we have a great guest! We have Lisa Biskup from English Fluency Now. Lisa is from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Lisa is going to introduce us to Seattle and the Pacific Northwest and she is going to show us 4 things that are different or unique about her region. 4 Things That Are Unique About the Pacific Northwest: People enjoy the outdoors: People are focused on the environment and spending time outdoors. Even though it rains a lot, people like to get out and when it’s nice out, people spend a lot of time sailing, boating kayaking, hiking, etc. The temperatures are mild throughout the year and it’s not “painful” to be outdoors. They value local, organic food: A lot of people in this area value organic and local food, grass-fed beef, etc. There are a lot of farmers’ markets that people go to regularly. There is a huge market for this kind of natural food. A vibrant coffee culture: Starbucks started here! Starbucks brought the coffee culture to Seattle but in Washington there are tons of local coffee roasters and local cafes. The local shops often roast their own blends and have followers. If you are visiting the US, it’s a great idea to go into a cafe or the same cafe every day for several days. You can meet real local people at these places. Try starting a conversation with them. A progressive political culture: A lot of people value things like the environment, gay marriage, and other social issues. Medical marijuana is now legal. The minimum wage has just been increased from $9 per hour to $15 per hour. This is considered a “living wage.” Visit Lisa’s website at http://www.englishfluencynow.com Bonus vocabulary term: Crunchy This term can be used as an adjective and it means that people like to spend time in nature. It’s an American English slang term. Lisa's Bio: Lisa Biskup is the founder of English Fluency Now, Inc. and the creator of the English Fluency Now podcast.
