This is the story of Bridget and Annie who share a flat in London and the boys next door, Nick and his friend

Hector from Argentina.

Hector works as a reporter on Channel 9 and is going out with Annie.

Bridget works at Channel 9 as well, but is not going out with Nick.

They all need a holiday.

Stand by for Extra.

Who would be your ideal holiday romance?

A. J -Lo.

B. Cameron Diaz. Or C.

Kylie.

Eh, difficult to choose.

Huh, all three.

What do you like most about girls on holiday?

A. Their suntans.

Yeah, OK.

B, their bikinis.

Yeah.

C, their...

Ironing skills?

Where do you meet girls on holiday?

A, on the beach.

B, in the bar.

C, on the ski slope.

Yeah.

On the beach.

Yeah, I meet lots of lovely girls on the beach.

Nick!

Ah!

Nick, I am fed up.

I need a holiday.

We all need a holiday.

Yeah.

I know what you mean.

I'm exhausted.

Ah!

So, it is holiday time again and everyone is off to the airport.

Oh, hello Hector.

They are travelling to Florida, Thailand, Egypt and Belgium.

Are you sure? And Belgium.

Travelling by plane, by train and by car.

Well, maybe not my car.

This is Hector Romero for Channel 9.

Oops!

Bridget will be furious!

Still, maybe a new fashion.

Yes, yes.

Can he do the interview on Thursday?

No. Well, what about Friday?

Oh, hang on.

Hello?

She wants 22 dressing rooms.

Four for lords and her nannies.

But we've only got two.

Hello?

Oh, for goodness sake.

Who wants Madonna anyway?

Hello, are you still there?

Hello, what?

Oh, hello, Eunice.

Yes, David Beckham is booked, and so is Princess Caroline of Monaco.

No, Madonna is not coming.

Yes, OK, Eunice, I will.

I will, today.

Bye, Eunice.

What did your last slave die of?

What I need, what I really need, is a holiday.

Oh!

Go on.

Type New York.

Gatwick.

Number of nights, three.

Three.

OK, let's see what they can do.

£1 ,000?

Oh, well, that's much too expensive.

We must choose a different destination.

Yeah.

How about Las Vegas?

That will cost even more.

Don't be silly, Nick.

What?

Is Nick being silly?

I don't believe it.

Oh, I'm so tired.

Oh, Hector, I saw your holiday report.

Oh, I have just spent all day watching other people go on holidays.

Oh, I can't go on.

Eunice is a witch.

She makes me work, work, work.

Why don't you leave her?

Yeah.

What?

Leave my job?

I love my job.

100

Women.

101

What you need, what we all need, is a...

102

Holiday!

Now's the chance to try my chat up lines on Spanish girls.

They won't be able to resist me.

I know what you're thinking.

You want to kiss me, don't you?

173

No, I don't.

174

Not you.

175

It's the chat -up line, stupid...

176

Hector, are you there?

177

Yeah.

Could you give me a hand with my luggage?

179

Sure.

You never can be sure what event we'll be asked to go to.

192

Parties, balls, the opera, theatre.

193

Oh, yeah.

194

It won't happen.

Wow!

218

Look at this!

219

It's so Spanish!

220

Yep.

221

Typical Spanish hospitality.

222

And this is a typical happy Spanish waitress.

223

We are from England and we would like a drink, please.

224

Girls, girls, girls, leave it to me.

225

I must translate for you.

226

We want to drink something in this bar typically Spanish.

227

Hang on.

228

I'll talk to the lady.

229

Hola.

230

Soy ingleses.

231

Mi pude es par la dirección de tu piso.

232

Ooh.

233

She doesn't look very happy.

234

No, she looks a mess.

235

Perhaps her boyfriend has left her.

236

Yes, because she looks a mess.

237

Maybe he didn't like her hair.

238

Actually, he did like my hair.

239

And at least mine is natural.

240

Ah, she understood.

241

She's English.

242

How did you guess?

243

So, is this a traditional Spanish bar?

244

This is a traditional English tea room. In Barcelona?

245

Oh, aren't you clever.

246

Leave it to me.

247

Please, can we have a drink?

248

No. Why not?

249

There are no tables.

250

What about this one?

251

No, no, no. Or that one?

252

No. What about this one here?

253

It's reserved.

254

Never mind, let's go.

255

But, um, if you reserve the table, you can come in.

256

Oh.

257

Okay.

258

Can we please reserve a table?

259

Certainly.

260

Erm...

261

Oh, yes, I can just fit you in that table then.

262

So, here we are in Spain.

263

I think I've brought enough clothes for all events.

264

You never can be sure what event we'll be asked to go to.

265

Spain is beautiful.

266

Wow, look at this.

267

It's so Spanish.

268

We thought we'd found a typical Spanish bar.

269

She understood.

270

But it is a typical English tea room.

271

Oh, yes, I can just beat you in that table then.

272

Right, what would you like to drink?

273

Cola, please.

274

Me too. And me.

275

In Spain, do as the English do.

276

I will have a nice cup of tea, please. Which tea?

277

Huh?

278

What have you got?

279

We've got Darjeeling, Kenyan, English breakfast, Earl Grey, Lady Grey, chamomile,

280

peppermint, jasmine, Imperial, Oolong, Indian, green and yellow tea.

281

I'll have a cola, please.

282

Anything to eat?

283

Yes, please.

284

What have you got?

285

Egg and chips, sausage and chips, fish and chips, cheese and chips, pie and chips and chicken and...

286

Chips!

287

Chicken and croquette potatoes.

288

So, we can have anything with chips.

289

Apart from chicken.

290

Or, I have cake.

291

Gatox.

292

Gatox?

293

Oh, I think she means gato.

294

God sucks, please.

295

Spanish girls are beautiful.

296

Ray. And French girls.

297

Really?

298

I don't believe it.

299

What?

300

Over there.

301

Over there.

302

Yeah?

303

It's him! Who?

304

Enrique!

305

Enrique?

306

307

Not Enrique K.

308

Enrique Iglesias.

309

No. Are you sure?

310

It can't be.

311

This is Spain.

312

Well, he's from Spain.

313

Well?

314

I must go and talk to him.

315

Hair.

316

Check.

317

Lipstick.

318

Check.

319

Top.

320

Check.

321

Right.

322

Here I go.

323

Where's Bridget going?

324

Enrique Iglesias is sitting over there at that table.

325

No. Enrique.

326

That is not Enrique Iglesias.

327

No way!

328

Oh, poor Bridget.

329

Still, he is quite good looking.

330

Latin men are different to English men.

331

They are not sensitive, gentle, romantic and sophisticated like me.

332

Gatox.

333

I think the waitress fancy's you, Nick.

334

Go on, try one of your chat -up lines on her.

335

Pah!

336

She's not my type.

337

So, what is your type, Nick?

338

Erm...

339

She's coming back!

340

Go on, go on. Which one? Which one?

341

I've forgotten them all.

342

Use my one.

343

Stars.

344

Stars.

345

OK, OK, I remember.

346

Your teeth are like stars.

347

They come out at night.

348

It's obvious.

349

It's crazy about me.

350

I've got a date with him.

351

I've got a date with him. Who?

352

Mr Iglesias?

353

Oh, don't be silly.

354

Of course it's not Enrique Iglesias.

355

I'm not that stupid.

356

It's Miguel.

357

And tonight we're going clubbing.

358

Great.

359

Where are we going?

360

No, not you.

361

Miguel and me.

362

Oh, no, Bridget, we must be your chaperones.

363

Yeah, you will not even notice us.

364

Well, all right, then.

365

Oh, all those Spanish girls.

366

Clubbing!

367

Clubbing?

368

Let's boogie baby.

369

I'll show you how it's done.

370

Next time in Extra.

371

England play Argentina in the World Cup.

372

Nick gets a phone call.

373

And Bridget has a bad hair day.

374

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.
