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

The headphones are free, but people using this area are encouraged to keep noise to a minimum,
10
so that other passengers can enjoy themselves and sleep or read if they wish.

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.

Just next to the cinema is the staircase leading down to the cabins on C deck.

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

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

42
I'm going to talk about a trip I made across Australia.

The transport I used was a motorbike.
44
It wasn't a new bike.
45
It was, what's the word, second hand, and I bought it because I wanted to see Australia.
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.
49
I met her at a language school where we studied English together.
50
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.
58
I still have friends who I made during the trip.
59
In all, I think it was the best journey I've ever made.

Guida Passo-Passo al Shadowing

Praticare il shadowing in inglese è un modo eccellente per migliorare le capacità di ascolto e pronuncia. Ecco come affrontare le difficoltà di questo video specifico:

  1. Ascolta attentamente: Inizia a riprodurre il brano audio e ascolta ogni frase con attenzione. Concentrati sull'intonazione e sul ritmo del relatore.
  2. Leggi il testo: Se possibile, trova il testo dell’annuncio per seguire. Questo ti aiuterà a connettere la pronuncia alle parole scritte.
  3. Fila il tuo input: Riproduci porzioni del brano e prova a ripetere immediatamente ciò che hai ascoltato. Cerca di imitare il più possibile l’intonazione e la velocità del relatore.
  4. Registrati: Usa un registratore audio per catturarti mentre pratichi il shadow speech. Riascolta la tua registrazione per identificare aree di miglioramento.
  5. Ripeti regolarmente: Il miglioramento richiede pratica costante. Dedicati pochi minuti ogni giorno a questa tecnica e noterai progressi nei tuoi sforzi per imparare l'inglese con youtube e nella tua fluidità.

Utilizzando queste tecniche di shadowspeaks, sarà più facile affrontare l'inglese conversazionale e sentirsi più sicuri durante i tuoi viaggi o interazioni quotidiane.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
