Hi, guys. My name is Asha and this video is for British Council’s LearnEnglish Teens online magazine and YouTube channel, and today I just wanted to talk about bucket lists – which are lists that you wanna accomplish things, like, by a certain age, or just before the end of life itself … but I just wanted to sit down and share some of them with you guys.

1) One thing I would really love to do one day and that is to visit Australia and New Zealand, and spend like a good three or four months there and really get to know the place.

2) One of the things I would love to do is see England play in a … er … football match, like a World Cup football match or a Euro football match. Just because I have been a supporter of England, even though people say they’re not very good, I personally am always a supporter of England and I would just love to see them play live.

3) Another one would be I would love to go interrailing, which is where you can go on a train and visit different countries in Europe, um, by a train ticket and I think it would be an amazing experience to do it and just to see different places of Europe and how different they are to each other.

4) I would also love to swim with dolphins. The people who know me – friends and family – know that I am, like, petrified of animals, um, when they come near me. But swimming with dolphins has always been something I have wanted to do when I was little, so that has always been on my bucket list. I’m not gonna lie, though. I probably would be freaking out in the water where the dolphins are when I first, like, get in, but that is, that is, that is gonna happen, soon.

5) The next one would be … I don’t know how many I’ve said … would be to hit 10,000 subscribers on my own YouTube. Just because it’s always been a dream and … since I was little. Again, these bucket list, erm, things have been since I was little … which you guys can help me achieve and subscribe to my channel, but, um, no, only joking, only if you like my channel.

6) And the last one I can remember from the top of my head is to do a colour run. Like, running just by yourself seems slightly boring, personally. But, a colour run seems so fun, throwing colours, colour sprays all around. Like, that is something I would like to do. And that is a doable one, so I should really get that done this year.

But that is … the only ones I can think of right now. Comment down below, erm, things that are on your bucket list. I would love to know and maybe I will steal some of them and put them on my bucket list if I think, ‘You know what? I would love to do that too.’ Do not forget to like this video and do not forget to subscribe so you don’t miss out on all these videos. And I will see you in the next one. Bye!

I would like to try bungee jumping because I like adrenaline. The second dream is to have a house in the mountains where I will relax.
