Hello and welcome to Lovely English Stories.

Thank you for stopping by.

This story is written for intermediate English learners.

Ready?

Let's get started.

B1 B2 English Story.

The Magical Secret Trixie was a special being and she had a very unusual secret.

Not many people would believe her if she told them,

so she kept it to herself.

She had a talent that only her nearest and dearest knew about.

No one else in her family had the same special skill.

It seemed she was the only one.

She'd only ever read about people who could do what she could do in fairy tales.

So she knew if she ever told anyone,

they'd think she was crazy.

Sometimes when playing two truths and one lie with her friends,

She would tell the truth about her secret and everyone would assume it was the lie.

The joke was on them.

So, what was her secret?

She could fly.

Yes, you may laugh.

You may think this is all very silly.

But it is true, I can assure you.

Trixie was born with the ability to fly.

You may be wondering how all this came about.

Well, let me explain.

Trixie was born 21 years ago.

Her parents had longed for a child and they were finally blessed with her.

Trixie's mother did not have a pleasant birth.

It lasted for over two days and had many complications.

But as soon as Trixie was born,

a lot of it was forgotten.

Trixie was a tiny baby with curly blonde hair.

She had the biggest blue eyes the midwives had ever seen.

There was something very sparkly and special about her.

Whenever someone walked past her, they smiled.

She had a positive aura and a loving, kind energy.

As soon as she was able to walk and talk,

people were drawn to her,

but it was only when she reached her terrible twos that her special skill came to light.

One day she was having a tantrum because she really wanted some ice cream,

but her mum and dad wouldn't let her have any.

She was stomping her feet, screaming and shouting.

Luckily, they were at home in their back garden,

so no one else was around to witness what happened next.

As Trixie got increasingly frustrated by her lack of ice cream,

she started to slowly lift off the grass.

At first her parents thought they were seeing things until she reached about a metre off the ground.

Trixie's mum ran over and grabbed her.

She was panicked.

What was going on?

They both wondered if they had imagined it until it happened again two weeks later.

Again, Trixie was having a typical two-year-old tantrum.

This time she wanted to play with the water hose,

but she wasn't allowed.

As her mum watered the garden,

Trixie got angrier, and as she did,

her feet slowly lifted off the ground.

As she floated higher, she started to giggle.

Trixie's mum turned around and saw her floating about a metre above the ground again.

She called her husband out,

who ran over and grabbed Trixie.

That night, when Trixie went to bed,

they tried to work out what was going on.

She could be possessed, said Trixie's dad.

Don't be silly, of course she isn't.

There has to be a logical explanation behind all this.

The problem was, until they figured out what was going on with Trixie,

they didn't want to send her to nursery because they didn't want other people to see her fly.

So the next morning, Trixie's mum went to the local library

and started doing some research while Trixie and her dad stayed at home Unfortunately,

she didn't find anything useful about flying except lots of fairy tale stories and make-believe books

They decided to keep Trixie's flying skills to themselves

and hoped it wouldn't happen again because they didn't want to stop Trixie from playing with other children.

They knew now that it only happened when Trixie wasn't in control of her emotions,

and because she loved going to nursery,

they hoped she'd be okay there.

One day, when Trixie's grandmother was visiting,

Trixie got frustrated because she wanted to play in the garden,

but it was raining.

Trixie's grandmother explained to her that they had to stay inside and that they could go outside once the weather was better.

Trixie wasn't happy and started to become frustrated.

As she did, she slowly started to lift off the ground.

Her grandmother couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Finally, someone else in the family had her secret talent too.

Ever since she was a little girl,

Trixie's grandmother had also been able to fly.

She hoped her daughter would be the same,

but she realised the magical secret had skipped a generation.

That night, when Trixie's parents came home from work,

Trixie's grandmother decided to bring up the subject of her flying.

She was nervous.

She thought her family might think she had turned into a crazy old lady.

But the truth was, during the night time,

she often flew above the woods and enjoyed feeling the wind blowing through her hair.

Now she was glad that she might be able to teach her granddaughter a few tricks

and tell her about the secret places where she went to fly.

The talk with Trixie's parents went better than expected.

Now they all knew they weren't going mad and that what they had seen was some sort of magical power.

100

Trixie's grandmother made a promise to teach her all she knew about flying.

101

Apparently, her mother and grandmother could also fly but it had skipped Trixie's mother.

102

Trixie's dad wondered, Why does she only fly when she's frustrated?

103

Because she is only a small child,

104

she is going through the terrible twos and she doesn't understand her emotions properly yet.

105

As she grows older, she will be able to control her flying,

106

but it does take some practice.

107

Over the next few years,

108

Trixie went on many holidays with her grandma.

109

They stayed in the family's secluded cottage in the Scottish Highlands,

110

where no one else was there except them and nature.

111

In the evenings, Trixie would practice flying and learning new skills from her grandmother.

112

She loved those holidays and listening to her grandma's stories about how she had kept her magic secret for all her life.

113

They were her most cherished memories.

114

Now all Trixie had to do was keep her magic secret too.

115

Sometimes it was difficult for her,

116

especially when she was happy or excited and she wanted to fly around and celebrate.

117

But most of all, it was difficult for her

118

when she felt frustrated or angry because she wanted to fly away and get some fresh air.

119

When she reached 21, Trixie decided to move to the house in the Scottish Highlands.

120

She had set up her own business so she was able to work from anywhere.

121

She knew she would miss her family dearly but she needed the freedom to enjoy her flying skills.

122

She could work as a freelancer and spend her evenings flying and exploring the nearby lakes and rivers.

123

Soon after Trixie moved to Scotland,

124

her grandma sadly passed away and asked for her ashes to be scattered close to the cottage.

125

Trixie never felt alone because she knew her grandmother was close by in spirit.

126

Trixie was never lonely as she had such a vivid imagination and kept herself busy by gardening and looking after her cows,

127

sheep and chickens.

128

Now Trixie was living in a remote place she could relax and be herself without too much interruption from the outside world.

129

She loved to be surrounded by nature.

130

She only wished there were others like her who could soar through the skies and enjoy the world from above.

131

If you could have a magical power, what would it be?

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.
