1
South for the Winter I never stay in one country for a long time.
2
It gets boring.
3
I like to move on, see new places, meet different people.
4
It's a good life, most of the time.
5
When I need money, I get a job.
6
I can do most things.
7
Hotel and restaurant work, building work, picking fruit.
8
In Europe, you can pick fruit most of the year.
9
You need to be in the right country at the right time, of course.
10
It's not easy work, but the money's not bad.
11
I like to go south in the winter.
12
Life is easier in the sun, and northern Europe can get very cold in the winter.
13
Last year, 1989 it was, I was in Venice for October.
14
I did some work in a hotel for three weeks, then I began slowly to move south.
15
I always go by train when I can.
16
I like trains.
17
You can walk about on a train, and you meet a lot of people.
18
I left Venice and went on to Trieste.
19
There, I got a cheap ticket for the slow train to Sofia, in Bulgaria.
20
This train goes all down through Yugoslavia and takes a long time, a day and a half, but that didn't matter to me.
21
The train left Trieste at nine o'clock on a Thursday morning.
22
There weren't many people on it at first, but at Zagreb more people got on.
23
Two girls went along the corridor, past my carriage.
24
They looked through the door, but they didn't come in.
25
Then an old woman came in, sat down and went to sleep.
26
The two girls came back along the corridor and looked into the carriage again.
27
The train left Zagreb, and I looked out of the window for about ten minutes, then I went to sleep too.
28
When I opened my eyes again, the two girls were in the carriage.
29
They looked friendly, so I said, Hello.
30
Hi, they said.
31
You're American, I said.
32
Or Canadian, right?
33
American, the taller girl said.
34
She smiled. And you're twenty-three?
35
Your name's Tom Walsh.
36
You've got blue eyes.
37
And your mum lives in Burnham-on-Sea, UK, right?
38
How did you know all that?
39
I asked.
40
The second girl laughed.
41
She looked at your passport.
42
It's in your coat pocket.
43
Oh, right.
44
My coat was on the seat next to me.
45
I took my passport out of my pocket and put it back in my bag. Who are you then?
46
I asked.
47
They told me.
48
Melanie and Carol from Los Angeles, USA.
49
They liked Europe, they said.
50
They knew a lot of places.
51
Britain, Holland, Denmark, Germany, France,
52
Spain, Italy, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Greece.
53
I'm going to Bulgaria now, I said, for about a month.
54
Then I'm going south for the winter.
55
Cyprus, or perhaps North Africa.
56
Oh yes, they said.
57
We love Bulgaria.
58
Sofia is a great town, wonderful.
59
What do you do about money?
60
I asked.
61
Well, you know, Carol smiled.
62
Sometimes we get a little job.
63
This and that. But what about you?
64
Yeah, come on, Melanie said.
65
Tell us about you.
66
Tom Walsh with the blue eyes and the mum in Burner Monsi.
67
What are you doing with your life, hey? So I told them.
68
They were nice girls.
69
They were older than me, perhaps twenty-seven or twenty-eight, but I liked them.
70
We talked and laughed for hours.
71
I told them a lot of stories about my life.
72
Some of the stories were true, some weren't.
73
But the girls laughed and said I was a great guy.
74
I asked them about Bulgaria, because I didn't know the country.
75
They knew Sophia well, they said.
76
Hey, Carol, Melanie said, we're staying in Bela Palanka for a day or two.
77
But let's go over to Sophia this weekend and meet Tom there.
78
We can meet him on Saturday night at the Hotel Marmara.
79
Yeah, it's a good hotel, Carol told me.
80
Cheap, but good.
81
What do you think, Tom?
82
Great, I said.
83
Let's do that.
84
The train was very slow.
85
We got to Belgrade at six o'clock in the evening, and a lot of people got off.
86
There were only me and the girls in the carriage then.
87
The guard came and looked at our tickets, and went away again.
88
Carol looked at Melanie.
89
Hey, Mel, she said, why don't you and Tom go along to the restaurant?
90
I'm not hungry, and I want to sleep for an hour.
91
Er, food's very expensive on the train, I said.
92
I haven't got much money just now.
93
I'm going to get a job in Sofia.
94
Oh, Tom, Melanie said, why didn't you tell us?
95
Look, you're a nice guy, right?
96
We're OK for money this week.
97
We can buy you a meal?
98
Of course we can, Carol said.
99
And look, in Sofia, we can take you to the best restaurant in town.
100
It's a great place.
101
We love it.
102
What could I say?
103
I was hungry.
104
They had money.
105
I didn't.
106
So Melanie and I went to the restaurant and had a meal.
107
When we came back, Carol was still alone in the carriage.
108
Melanie put her feet on the seat and went to sleep.
109
At Nys, some more people got on the train, and two old men came into our carriage.
110
They looked at Melanie's feet on the seat and talked in loud voices.
111
Carol laughed, and Melanie opened her eyes and sat up.
112
"'Are we nearly there?' she asked Carol, and looked out of the window.
113
"'Yeah, about half an hour, I think.' "'Why are you getting off at Bela Palanca?' I asked.
114
"'What are you going to do there?' Melanie smiled.
115
Find a cheap hotel, meet people, take a look at the town, you know.
116
"'Just for a day or two,' Carol said.
117
"'But there's nothing there.' "'Oh, well, you never know,' Melanie laughed.
118
"'See you in Sofia, right?
119
On Saturday night.
120
"'The Hotel Marmara, okay?
121
Eight o'clock,' Carol said.
122
"'Don't forget now.' "'Okay.
123
Great,' I said.
124
"'See you there.' The train came into Bella Polanka and stopped.
125
The two girls got off and stood on the platform.
126
They smiled at me through the window.
127
"'Saturday, eight o'clock,' Melanie shouted.
128
"'Okay,' I called.
129
They couldn't hear me because of the noise in the station.
130
They smiled again, picked up their bags and walked away.
131
Nice girls.
132
I'm going to have a great time in Sofia, I thought.
133
The train left Yugoslavia and crossed into Bulgaria at two o'clock in the morning.
134
Then the train stopped at some village.
135
I don't remember the name.
136
I ate an apple and looked out of the window.
137
Suddenly, there were a lot of policemen on the train.
138
Everybody in the carriage sat up and began to talk.
139
What's happening?
140
I said in Italian to the old man next to me.
141
I don't know, he said in bad Italian.
142
Perhaps they're looking for somebody.
143
Look, the police are taking some people off the train.
144
Then two policemen came into our carriage, a tall, thin one and a short, fat one.
145
They looked at everybody carefully.
146
And then they looked at me again.
147
Come with us, please, the fat policeman said in English.
148
What, me?
149
I said.
150
Why?
151
What's the matter?
152
And bring your bag with you, the tall policeman said.
153
I began to ask a question, but policemen never like questions from young men with long hair.
154
So I stayed quiet, picked up my bag, and went with them.
155
In the station building there were a lot more policemen and some people from the train.
156
They were all young people, I saw.
157
Some were afraid, some were bored.
158
The police looked in everybody's bags, and then the people went back to the train.
159
My two policemen took me to a table.
160
"'Your passport, please,' the fat policeman said, "'and opened your bag.' "'They looked at my passport,
161
and I opened my bag.
162
"'There was a young policewoman with red hair at the next table.
163
"'She had a nice face, so I smiled at her, and she smiled back.
164
"'Aha!' the tall policeman said suddenly.
165
All my dirty shirts and clothes were out on the table.
166
The policeman picked up my bag and turned it over.
167
Onto the table, out of my bag, fell packet after packet of US American dollars.
168
Nice new dollars.
169
Fifty dollar notes in big packets.
170
A lot of money.
171
My mouth opened and stayed open.
172
I couldn't find my voice.
173
I was suddenly a very interesting person,
174
and a lot of police ran up to our table and stood behind me.
175
Fifty thousand, a hundred thousand, a hundred and fifty thousand,
176
there's two hundred thousand dollars here, the tall policeman said.
177
What an interesting bag, Mr. Tom Walsh.
178
I found my voice again quickly.
179
But it's not my bag, I shouted.
180
There was a big happy smile on that policeman's face.
181
Well, he said, it's got your name on it, look.
182
So I looked, and of course there was my name, and yes, of course, it was my bag.
183
So how did two hundred thousand US dollars get into my bag?
184
You cannot bring US dollars into this country, the fat policeman said.
185
He had very short grey hair and little black eyes.
186
He didn't smile once.
187
But I didn't bring them, I said quickly.
188
They're not my dollars.
189
I never saw them before in my life, and...
190
There was a lot of noise in the station.
191
I looked out of the window and saw my train.
192
Slowly, it began to move.
193
Hey!
194
I shouted.
195
That's my train!
196
The tall policeman laughed.
197
It was a great day for him.
198
Oh, no, he said.
199
You're not getting back on that train.
200
You're staying here with us, in our beautiful country.
201
He smiled happily.
202
So, I never got to Sophia on Saturday.
203
I was very unhappy about that.
204
I wanted to have a little talk with Melanie and Carol.
205
Ask them one or two questions, you know.
206
You're a nice guy, Tom.
207
See you in Sophia, OK?
208
Take you to the best restaurant in town.
209
Yeah, great.
210
And I never got down to Cyprus or North Africa that winter.
211
Oh, well, I live and learn.
212
It's not an easy life in prison, but it's warm in winter, and the food's not bad.
213
And I'm meeting some interesting people.
214
There's a man from Georgia, USSR.
215
Boris, his name is.
216
He comes from a place by the Black Sea.
217
He's a great guy.
218
When we get out of here, he and I are going down to Australia.
219
Brisbane, perhaps. Or Sydney.
220
Get a job on a ship.
221
Start a new life.
222
Yeah.
223
Next year's going to be OK.
224
Thank you.
225
Thank you.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
