8
Next to the restaurant on a deck in the lounge there are reclining seats with music headphones if you want to relax.

10
so that other passengers can enjoy themselves and sleep or read if they wish.
11
For those of you who'd like some entertainment, just next door to us on this deck is a 40-seat cinema, showing the latest full-length feature films.
12
The cinema program is available here at reception, but you'll have to buy the tickets themselves at the cinema entrance, just before you go in.

To access your cabin, just show your boarding pass to a steward, who will give you the key.

16
you'll also find an area where you can either play games in our special electronic games arcade or do your shopping.

46
I didn't want to use public transport because I wanted to be independent.
47
I had a month's holiday before I started my course, and I made a trip with a friend, a Chinese girl.
48
because I was frightened of travelling alone.

I met her at a language school where we studied English together.

We travelled along the south coast and saw some of the desert.
51
The good thing about the journey was that we met a lot of other people who were travelling.
52
We went to places which are difficult to reach on public transport, and the trip was quite cheap.
53
Also, the motorbike had quite a powerful engine, so it was fast and exciting.
54
The bad things were the rain and the heat because they made us tired.
55
I have great memories of the trip because I felt really free.
56
We could go where we liked.
57
Also, we met some very friendly people and we saw a lot of interesting places.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
