1
So I am leaving for the United States on a vacation in two days,
2
and now I am packing my suitcase.
3
Come along with me and let's practice some English.
4
Okay, so first things first.
5
Whenever you go on a trip and need to pack a lot of things,
6
it's always good to make a list.
7
I always like writing a list with paper and pen, But honestly,
8
it would be very helpful to make a digital list and look at it every time you go on a trip.
9
But I prefer just writing mine down with a pen and paper.
10
I always like to pack the most important things first,
11
and for me, the most important thing
12
that I bring on this trip since I am flying internationally is my passport.
13
Never, ever, ever forget your passport because you will not be allowed to travel if you are going overseas.
14
I like keeping my passport in my purse that I wear on the plane.
15
Now this is my travel bag purse that I always use
16
when I go to the United States and I love it because it is very comfortable.
17
So I put my passport inside.
18
I like it when bags have small pockets inside to put important things.
19
Boop!
20
I will also bring my money and my other identification,
21
cards, coins, things like that.
22
I will also bring my Kindle because I love to read on the airplane.
23
And another thing for me that is very important
24
when going on a long flight is having cable headphones
25
that you can wear so you can watch a movie
26
because the free headphones that they give you on the plane are not very good
27
so I always bring my own and I keep it in my purse
28
I also like to keep a good ol'
29
hair tie and lip balm in my bag because my lips always get very dry on the plane.
30
oh and one more thing
31
I always like to carry a small bottle of water
32
because I like to drink lots of water and I always get very thirsty when I travel
33
All right, ready to go?
34
I want to show how my travel bag fits,
35
goes around my neck and my shoulder and it's right here it's very comfortable
36
and then I have everything that is important right in front of me and I love that
37
All right, now it's time to go get my suitcase.
38
It's a big one.
39
Now I have a very big suitcase that I use
40
when I go to the United States because I always stay there for two and a half weeks,
41
so I need a lot of things.
42
When I go on a shorter vacation for two or three days,
43
I like bringing a small suitcase.
44
Now, one thing that I now use
45
that has really made packing so much easier for me are these packing bags that I got from Amazon on.
46
I always thought these packing bags were not very useful.
47
I was like, why do people put their clothes in bags before they put them in their suitcase?
48
But now I realize it helps me to be more organized when I pack.
49
Now you'll see how.
50
I have one for my clothes and a few smaller ones that I use for socks,
51
bathing suits, smaller clothes, and things like that.
52
That way it's not all mixed up in the suitcase.
53
So what are some of the main clothes that I always bring on a trip?
54
One is blue jeans, another one is shorts because it will be hot where I'm going.
55
I am also bringing many dresses because I like to feel fresh on vacation,
56
some lighter pants, and of course shirts.
57
Now I will be in two different places in the United States,
58
I will be in a hot place and a little bit cooler place,
59
so I need to bring a mix of clothes that are good for both temperatures.
60
That's why I'm bringing some long -sleeve shirts and tank tops so I know I will always be comfortable.
61
Now I think there are two ways of preparing your clothes in your suitcase.
62
One of them is simply folding them and another way is rolling them.
63
I actually prefer rolling my clothes because I think it gives me a little bit more space.
64
So this is how I like to roll the clothes.
65
I lay it out flat, fold it in half, in this case,
66
I fold it again, and then I roll.
67
Boop, there you go.
68
To be honest, I'm not very good at folding clothes.
69
It's hard for me to get all of the wrinkles out.
70
I don't know why.
71
Please let me know if you have any tips.
72
Oh, I almost forgot something important.
73
my pajamas.
74
You never want to forget those on a vacation.
75
Okay so this is it for the main clothes that I'm bringing for a little over two weeks.
76
Do you think it's enough?
77
I always try to not overpack.
78
When you overpack, that means you pack too many things.
79
I don't like it when I bring lots of clothes that I don't need.
80
But it's also not good to under pack.
81
To under pack means to not pack enough or not pack the things that you really need.
82
That's why it's always good to have your list
83
and think about what you're going to be doing on vacation and only bring the clothes that you really need.
84
And since I have some of these things ready, I will check them off my list.
85
it always feels good to check all the things that you already have packed
86
okay let's pack these clothes okay so now I have to put these clothes in my packing bag
87
all right let's see if it zips it's just a little bit full
88
now I also have another one of these already packed with my kids clothes
89
and another one that has my bathing suits and my socks and smaller clothes in there.
90
One thing that I truly love about packing is just the excitement of thinking about your trip
91
and planning for what you're going to do there.
92
I have been so excited the past few days just thinking about my trip.
93
Now, it is completely different when you are unpacking after the trip.
94
After the trip is over, that excitement is really gone.
95
But I really love the excitement that I get whenever I'm getting ready for a trip and packing my suitcase.
96
Another important thing to always pack on a vacation are shoes.
97
You never want to forget shoes.
98
You will always be wearing shoes when you travel,
99
but it's always good to have at least one more pair.
100
On this trip, I am going to bring my favorite pair of tennis shoes
101
and when I am traveling I will be wearing my most comfortable pair of walking shoes.
102
I will also have some nice summer sandals along with some flip -flops.
103
Now when I travel and I have my shoes in my suitcase,
104
I like to put my shoes in a simple cloth bag.
105
That way, I make sure that my shoes don't get my clothes and my other things dirty.
106
Ready to go?
107
Now it is time to pack the toiletry bag.
108
I don't know why but I hate packing my toiletry bag.
109
I always save it for last.
110
I guess for me it's the most boring part of packing
111
and for some reason I just don't find it very exciting but you have to do it.
112
So I just use a small bag I bring my toothbrush.
113
I also sometimes like to put my toothbrush in my bag
114
that I have on the airplane just in case i want to brush my teeth
115
so i may put that in there later anyway toothbrush toothpaste q -tips for the ears
116
my face cream
117
the medicine
118
and sunscreen I will definitely be buying a bigger bottle of sunscreen once I get there and lastly more hair ties
119
done with the toiletry bag now I also bring my makeup bag
120
which is already always packed I find it very easy to always have all of my makeup in a bag
121
so that way if I ever need to go anywhere all I do is grab it and it's ready to go
122
All right, now it's time to put all of my stuff in my big suitcase.
123
Let's go.
124
If you haven't seen, this suitcase is really old and broken,
125
and I really should get a new one.
126
Poor guy.
127
Anyways.
128
Oh I almost forgot.
129
I also bring a different little purse to use while I'm there because I only like using the blue one for travel.
130
So I will pop that in.
131
All right, now I do have a little bit of space in my bag,
132
but I like leaving a little bit of space just in case I want to buy some things when I'm there.
133
I just realized I forgot something very important, and that is my backpack.
134
I always like to travel with a backpack on the airplane.
135
I do already have my purse,
136
but I like having more space for things in a backpack.
137
So what I like to bring is an extra bag
138
that also has a change of clothes for myself
139
and also for my kids because you never know what will happen
140
if a drink spills on the airplane
141
or maybe you need to stay overnight somewhere if your flight doesn't go as to plan.
142
That actually happened to me.
143
One time, I had to spend the night in an airport because my flight had a big mess up,
144
but that's why it's always good to have some extra clothes.
145
I also am bringing my laptop.
146
I don't always bring this on vacation but I will this time and I will keep this in my backpack.
147
All right backpacks ready.
148
Okay so now I have packed Bye.
149
airplane, purse, my big suitcase, and my backpack, or the airplane,
150
and I think I'm ready to go.
151
Here we are.
152
See how my bag fits with my backpack?
153
I'm covered in things, and I have my suitcase.
154
I am ready for vacation.
155
Now I have one question for you.
156
Did I forget anything?
157
Please let me know so I can pack it before I leave.

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.
