Ready?

Let's get started.

B1, B2 English Story Mother's Day Leslie is 82.

She has three children, five grandchildren and one great grandchild.

She has seen and been through a lot.

She grew up in the Midlands.

Her mother was a cleaner before she became a full-time stay-at-home mum.

And her dad worked in a local factory.

They had a typical working-class life.

She had two brothers and a sister.

Now Leslie only has her sister.

Her brothers passed away a few years ago.

She is close to her sister and tries to see her as often as she can.

Leslie loves her family and has made many sacrifices for them over the years.

When she was young, she trained to be a nurse

and worked in the healthcare sector for most of her life She is incredibly patient and caring When her parents were ill,

she stopped working to care for them Now she spends three days per week looking after her grandchildren

Although it is very tiring for her, she enjoys it.

She wants to help her children where she can and she loves that she has a great relationship with her grandchildren.

Her three children all work incredibly hard.

Leslie's eldest daughter is a marketing executive for a large private healthcare provider Her son is an artisan baker

and her youngest daughter has followed in her footsteps and works as a children's nurse She is very proud of them

Leslie has been married twice.

Sadly, her first husband died in a tragic car accident when her children were small.

She was then single for 10 years before she met her second husband.

He was welcomed to her family with open arms.

In her spare time, Leslie likes to play golf and go for long walks in the countryside.

When she was younger, she was an avid runner,

but she has since had two knee replacements so she can't run anymore.

She tries to keep as active as she can.

She also owns an allotment with her husband.

They grow their own vegetables.

Their grandchildren love to go to the allotment and help.

She likes them to spend as much time outside as possible.

She doesn't like it when they are playing on their phones or watching too much television.

Leslie and her husband also own a caravan.

She tries to go most weekends.

For her, there is nothing better than breathing in the fresh sea air.

In the summer, she lets her children go to the caravan so they can have cheap holidays.

It was a great investment for all the family.

Leslie is the hub of her family.

She is very much loved.

She is an open-minded, straight-talking woman and her grandchildren often go to her for support

and advice as they know she will give them an honest answer.

Even though Leslie is in her early 80s,

she regularly thinks of her mother.

If she isn't sure what to do or is anxious or worried,

she will think of her mother and what she would do in her situation.

Leslie misses her mother.

She was an amazing woman.

She came from nothing and raised a wonderful family on little money.

She died of old age,

surrounded by her loved ones.

Leslie lives her life trying to make her proud.

She hopes she has passed on the same amount of love to her children and grandchildren.

Leslie's children are very thankful to their mother for giving up

so much of her retirement time to help them raise their children.

They don't know what they'd do without her.

To thank her this Mother's Day,

they have arranged to take her for a slap-up meal followed by an overnight stay in a five-star exclusive hotel and spa.

They want her to be pampered and looked after.

She will go to the hotel with her eldest granddaughter.

She has taken the following day off work and loves to spend time with her grandmother.

Leslie has never stayed in such a fancy hotel.

She has never eaten in a five-star restaurant and she has never had a pedicure or a facial or a massage.

She never really spends money on herself and prefers to treat those around her.

She always hinted at being taken to a spa

or for a posh afternoon tea in a luxury hotel Now she was going to get it

and she had no idea She just thought her family were taking her out for a meal

which they usually do on Mother's Day

Leslie was happy with that She never expects rewards for her help She does it

because it makes her happy Her children have arranged to have some flowers delivered to the restaurant

and there she'll open a card that details the itinerary for the following 48 hours After the meal,

they'll drive her to a luxury hotel 30 miles away.

She'll have a massage and then access to her own pool.

Then she'll enjoy a healthy evening meal and an early night.

The following morning, they'll wake up early,

have a manicure and pedicure,

followed by a facial massage and a healthy three-course dinner.

Afterwards, her eldest granddaughter will drive her to the coast where they can have fish

and chips on the pier and watch the sunset over her favourite beach

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
