Recording 10 Good evening, everyone.
2
As many of you know, I often travel for my job as a rug buyer, and this evening I've been asked to give a talk about travelling in Europe and Asia.
3
I'll try to pass on some useful advice for those of you who are planning to travel there yourselves.
4
At the end of my talk, I'll be happy to answer questions.
5
My first piece of advice is to work hard on your research before you go
6
if you want to make your trip enjoyable and rewarding.
7
I plan my trips very carefully for at least three months before I leave, reading about the places I am going to visit on the internet and in books.
8
I had a very memorable trip recently, starting out in Morocco.
9
The city of Marrakech is an absolutely amazing place to visit and well worth adding to your itinerary.
10
Try to stay near the old part of the city.
11
There are so many historical buildings and so much to see.
12
The mosques in particular are very beautiful.
13
After leaving Morocco, I took a long, tiring boat ride to Turkey.
14
It was well worth the trip, especially if you like local crafts.
15
I bought a beautiful Turkish carpet in one of the villages while I was there.
16
The man that sold it to me spoke very good English, and he told me all about the different styles of carpet.
17
I was fascinated to see the extraordinary range of patterns.
18
I left the small mountain villages of Turkey to travel to the huge, crowded cities of India.
19
India is a fascinating country, and I have always enjoyed my visits there.
20
Everywhere you go, the people are very welcoming and friendly towards visitors.
21
They always seem pleased to see you.
22
It's easy to see why India is such a popular destination for travellers.
23
One of the highlights for me on this visit was the Gujarati Textile Museum.
24
It was the first time I had been there.
25
If you are interested in textiles, this museum is really impressive,
26
with lots of information and some absolutely stunning examples of Indian silk embroidery and other fabrics.
27
If you are interested in seeing wildlife, I recommend travelling in the more remote areas of the country.
28
I was amazed at the variety of wonderful animals which I saw on my trip, and the most incredible, colourful birds with vivid blue and green feathers.
29
I also saw several poisonous spiders, although I have to say that I found the insects rather frightening.

About This Lesson
You're practicing English with "14 ADJectives And Adverbs" using the Shadowing technique — a method originally developed for professional interpreter training.
Focus on sounding like the speaker — not just repeating words. With 15–30 minutes of daily practice, you'll build real-world speaking confidence.
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
