Speaker 1 The best family holiday I've ever had was actually with my grandparents.
6
My brother and I were quite young at the time, but I still remember it well because I enjoyed it so much.
7
It was so exciting to be going away without our parents, and we felt so grown up.
8
My brother took lots of pictures on his camera, but unfortunately I've never seen any of them since.
9
They must have been lost.
10
Our grandparents took us to London on the train, and it was our very first visit, so we went sightseeing.
11
I especially remember visiting Buckingham Palace and staying in a very expensive hotel.
12
We also went to Hamley's, the famous toy shop, and Harrods.
13
I will never forget this trip.
14
Speaker 2 My favourite family holiday was to the Canary Islands.
15
We enjoyed it so much that we're going again this autumn and are even staying in the same hotel.
16
We liked it because we had everything we needed there and we could spend our days swimming, either in the hotel pool or in the sea.
17
In the evening, we either played snooker or watched the hotel entertainment.
18
The only thing I remember not liking about the holiday was that sometimes the hotel guests would argue over sunbeds.
19
It was always lovely and hot though, which is the only thing that mattered to me.
20
Speaker 3 Camping was my favourite type of family holiday when I was younger.
21
I still remember the first time we went.
22
I found it so thrilling.
23
We would always go in the summer, but the weather was never guaranteed.
24
In fact, it often rained.
25
Still, this never bothered me much or ruined my enjoyment of the experience.
26
Sleeping outdoors was so much fun, and I especially liked cooking my dinner and breakfast on a little portable stove.
27
I have such fond memories of these holidays that I'm planning to go camping this summer with my friends.
28
I just hope that they will share my enthusiasm for it.
29
Speaker 4 My favourite family holiday has to be the time that I went to Switzerland with all my cousins.
30
There are seven of us in total and two of my cousins actually live there, so we went to visit My uncle works in television,
31
so whilst we were there, he created a short movie which we all had a part in.
32
It was such fun to make and even more enjoyable to watch, especially now we are older.
33
I remember we all used to sleep in the same room, and our parents could never get us to go to sleep.
34
We would just stay up chatting for hours about anything and everything.
35
Speaker 5 Two years ago, my parents took me and the rest of the family on an amazing activity holiday.
36
I think it was very expensive, but it was truly unforgettable.
37
There were so many different activities to try, such as sailing, windsurfing, tennis,
38
etc. My brother was particularly good at all the water sports.
39
The only thing I regret is that I didn't try more activities.
40
I wasn't very confident, and so I didn't try anything too adventurous.
41
If I go again, I'll try to be more independent and spend less time doing the same activities as my parents.

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
