9
We have gotten a lot of calls about that article.
10
I'm not surprised.
11
Is it true that if I book a tour, the prices start at only $1 ,100 per person yes
12
that's a special offer for this month normally
13
they're from one thousand four hundred dollars going up to two thousand dollars
14
and it includes accommodation
15
and meals this offer is for any of our 36 different bicycling tours well
16
I am definitely interested in the bicycling tours
17
but I thought there were only 30 are all of them for a week most of them
18
if bicycling is not your thing
19
we also have walking tours to choose from that's a lot of options are you aware
20
that our trips all begin on Tuesday that's great
21
it would give me Monday to pack how do you suggest I choose from
22
so many options yes it is tough to make a choice I would love to hear about your most popular tours
23
before you hear the rest of the conversation you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
24
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
25
I'll start with the bicycling tours, since you said that was your main interest.
26
My wife and I are not in great shape for a hard ride.
27
Do you have rides that are at the beginner level?
28
Sure.
29
There's our Florida trip that's 14 nights
30
but I'd recommend our holiday on the east coast of the US in an area known as the autumn route
31
which is just six nights with short leisurely routes on trails by the riverside
32
and through the forest you have plenty of time to explore the landscape during your holiday
33
Wow seeing the changing colors of the leaves would be amazing yes
34
that's right you also have the option to stop at some outstanding homes and to see their gardens.
35
Whichever cycling holiday you choose, you usually spend two nights at each hotel and always have plenty of time to explore,
36
rest, and sightsee as you wish.
37
Could you tell me about one of your moderate rides?
38
You never know, maybe my wife and I will get into enough shape to be able to do one.
39
Well, let me see.
40
Oh, this trip is actually ten nights long.
41
It travels through parts of Southern California.
42
The ride begins on a mountain trail and finally brings you down to the coastal roads.
43
Oh, yes.
44
I see that here on your website.
45
Oh, that looks amazing.
46
I like that we would have the opportunity to try some of the local cuisine.
47
Yes, the cuisine in this area makes lavish use of colorful local produce.
48
And then, you know, the great weather of this region is a great feature by itself.
49
Do we stay in hotels on this trip?
50
You stay in hotels most of the way until the end, when you stay on a farm overlooking the sea.
51
That's always really popular.
52
Wow, both trips sound fabulous.
53
How far in advance do I have to make reservations?
54
That is the end of part one.
55
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
