Hey Daniel!
2
How was your school excursion last weekend?
3
I heard you visited several famous...
4
It was amazing!
5
We went to an aquarium first, and then we visited a beautiful cathedral near the harbor.
6
I was really excited because I had never seen such a huge aquarium before.
7
That sounds fantastic!
8
Did you visit any historical places?
9
Yes.
10
We visited an old palace and saw a famous monument with a huge statue in front of it.
11
At first, I was confused because there were so many tourists, but our guide was very flexible and helped us find our group.
12
I can imagine.
13
Were you ever frightened during the excursion?
14
Actually, yes.
15
I was terrified when I accidentally got separated from my classmates.
16
I became really anxious because I didn't know where they were.
17
Then I saw our teacher and I immediately felt relieved.
18
Wow, I would have been frightened too.
19
I sometimes feel shy and embarrassed when I have to ask strangers for help.
20
Same here.
21
But one of my classmates showed great generosity.
22
She helped me find the group and I was delighted and extremely grateful.
23
That's really kind.
24
I think generosity and honesty are very important qualities.
25
A generous person can make other people feel comfortable, especially when they are upset or confused.
26
Daniel, I agree.
27
However, there was one strange moment.
28
I saw a man looking at our bags in a suspicious way, so I became a little nervous.
29
Really?
30
What happened?
31
Nothing serious.
32
Our teacher noticed him too, but it turned out that he was just looking for his own bag.
33
I felt a little ashamed because I had judged him too quickly.
34
That's understandable.
35
Sometimes our feelings can affect our judgment.
36
When we are anxious or frightened, we may become more sensitive to small things.
37
Exactly.
38
But the trip also made me think about my ambition.
39
I want to travel to different countries in the future, so I need to be more enthusiastic and confident.
40
That's a great ambition.
41
Creativity and cheerfulness can also help when you travel.
42
You need creativity to solve unexpected problems and cheerfulness to enjoy new experiences.
43
Absolutely.
44
And I think flexibility is important, too.
45
Things don't always happen according to plan, so we have to stay flexible.
46
You're right.
47
I'm actually a little envious of your trip, but I'm also happy for you.
48
Don't be envious.
49
You can join our next excursion.
50
I promise it will be exciting.
51
Deal.
52
Hopefully, next time I'll be more enthusiastic and less shy.
53
And I'll try to be more flexible, generous, and honest about my feelings.
54
Perfect!
55
That's what makes traveling...

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
