585
There's a direct flight for $800 and another one with one layover for $600.

One layover is okay.
588
Perfect.
589
Now, what about accommodation?
590
Hotel or Airbnb?

I prefer Airbnb.
592
More private and usually cheaper.
593
Plus, we can cook some meals ourselves.
594
Good point.
595
I'll look for one near the beach so we can walk there easily.
596
Sounds amazing.
597

1426
I don't want to get out of bed.
1427
I understand.
1428
I also feel tired.
1429
But we don't have much time.

All right.
1446
I'll wait and then take a shower.
1447
Did you sleep well last night?
1448
Not really.
1449
I woke up twice thinking about work.
1450
That's not good.
1451
You need better sleep.
1452
I know.
1453
Maybe I should stop using my phone before bed.
1454
That's a good idea.
1455
I feel more relaxed when I read a book.
1456
I should try that too.
1457
Bedroom.
1458
Getting dressed.
1459

1487
It helps us start the day in a good way.
1488
Eating breakfast.
1489
How does the coffee taste?
1490
It's perfect.

1513
Outside.
1514
Traffic looks heavy today.
1515
Yes.
1516
Many people are on the road.
1517
Maybe we should leave earlier tomorrow.
1518
I agree.
1519
It will save time and stress.
1520
The weather is nice, though.

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.
