Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.
2
Now listen and answer questions sixteen to twenty.
3
Now, if you can take a look at your plans, you'll see Branley Castle has four towers joined together by a high wall,
4
with the river on two sides.
5
Don't miss seeing the Great Hall.
6
That's near the river in the main tower, the biggest one which was extended and redesigned in the eighteenth century.
7
If you want to get a good view of the whole castle, you can walk around the walls.
8
The starting point's quite near the main entrance.
9
Walk straight down the path until you get to the south gate, and it's just there.
10
Don't go on to the north gate.
11
There's no way up from there.
12
There'll shortly be a show in which you can see archers displaying their skill with a bow and arrow.
13
The quickest way to get there is to take the first left after the main entrance
14
and follow the path past the bridge.
15
Then you'll see it in front of you at the end.
16
If you like animals, there's also a display of hunting birds, falcons and eagles and so on.
17
If you go from the main entrance in the direction of the south gate, but turn right before you get there instead of going through it,
18
you'll see it on your right, past the first tower.
19
At 3pm, there's a short performance of traditional dancing on the outdoor stage.
20
That's right at the other side of the castle from the entrance and over the bridge.
21
It's about ten minutes' walk or so. And finally, the shop.
22
It's actually inside one of the towers, but the way in is from the outside.
23
Just take the first left after the main entrance, go down the path and take the first right.
24
It's got some lovely gifts and souvenirs.

Right, so we're just arriving.

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.
