one

what do you think I should do for vacation this summer well you like the beach

and you love hanging out in the Sun why don't you go to the Caribbean

or how about the Philippines some friends of mine stayed at

a beach resort there last summer well I've been to the Caribbean a couple of times

and I always enjoy it but I've never been to the Philippines I think that would be fun 2.

I'm not sure where to go for vacation this year.

Why don't you go skiing?

I had a great time at a ski resort in the mountains last winter.

Or how about a jungle trip to the Malaysian National Forest?

I did that a couple of years ago, and it was amazing.

Well, I just bought some new ski equipment, and I'm dying to try it.

I have to say that I'm not too excited about the idea of a jungle trip.

I don't like bugs, and I bet there would be a lot of them.

Three.

I'd like to do something really different for my vacation this year.

How about a trip down the Nile River?

You've never been to Egypt, right?

Or maybe you could spend a week in the Australian outback.

Hmm, they both sound interesting.

But I guess I'd prefer the Australian trip.

The Nile River might be just a little too exciting for me.

4. I'd like to do something exciting this vacation.

I don't want to just lie around on a beach.

How about whitewater rafting down the Colorado River?

It takes you right through the Grand Canyon.

That's really exciting.

Or you could go on a 10-day African safari.

I've heard that's a great trip.

The safari trip would be fun sometime, but I only have one week.

I think I'll do the Grand Canyon trip.

Thanks for the teep.

Five.

Any ideas about where we should go for vacation?

I'm thinking about a couple of trips.

We could go to Southeast Asia.

We'd go to Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia.

The other place I was thinking about going to is China.

China?

I've never been there.

I hear it's fascinating.

I've already been to Thailand and Indonesia, so let's go to China.

6. I need help figuring out what to do for my vacation.

Well, last year my friends and I went on a two-week bus tour of Europe.

We traveled in nice, comfortable motorcoaches and stopped in different cities.

We stayed in each city for a day or two, and all our hotel reservations were taken care of.

Hmm, that could be fun.

But sometimes I get sick when I ride in cars and buses.

You could take a train trip across Russia.

My sister did that a couple of years ago.

Oh, I love trains, and I've never been to Russia.

Listening to One I'm so excited about my trip to Asia.

I've never been there before.

First, I'm flying to Taipei from the US.

I'll be spending three days there because I hear that there's a lot to see and do.

I'll also be spending three days in Seoul.

I hear the nightlife there is great.

Then we go from there to Hong Kong.

I'm planning to do lots of shopping there, so I hope two days is enough time to buy everything I need.

I would really love to go to Beijing for a few days, but unfortunately this tour doesn't go there.

After Hong Kong, we'll end up in Thailand for five days, so I guess I won't be able to get to Tokyo or Malaysia on this trip.

Oh well, I have to save a few places to visit on my next vacation.

2. Well, our trip starts off in London.

We've got a week there.

Then we'll take the bus up to Oxford for two days to see friends.

We also wanted to see Cambridge.

I hear it's beautiful, but we won't have time this trip.

Anyway, then we head to France.

We have five days in Paris, which will give us time to see all of those museums.

I wish we were going to spend a few days in Germany, too, but this trip doesn't include it.

But we do go to Switzerland for three days.

I'm really looking forward to that.

Then we end up in Italy for the last five days of the tour.

Three.

We start off in Los Angeles.

We're going to stay there for three days because we want to hit the beach and see the sights.

We're not going to go to San Francisco this time because we've been there before.

Then we're off to Denver to visit my sister.

We're going to stay there for a week.

I hope that's enough time because I haven't seen her since last Christmas and we have so much to talk about.

We were thinking of going to Chicago after that

but we just don't have time so it's straight on to Washington DC and New York.

We've got two days in Washington and three in New York.

We'd really love to get up to Boston for a couple of days, but it probably won't happen.

Maybe next time.

Listening 3 1 After graduation, I'm going to fly to Europe and spend a couple of weeks traveling on my own.

I'll be in Germany and France mostly.

There are so many things I want to see and do.

Museums, restaurants, clubs, cafes, all that stuff.

I know my parents worry about me traveling alone, but I just prefer it that way.

I guess it's because I want to be free.

On those group tours, everything is planned for you.

Two.

and the people are really friendly I want to go to small towns that don't get a lot of tourists.

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.
