I would like to visit your country.
165
Hey, how are you doing?
166
Maybe we can do something together.
167
Okay, so let me tell you something about Sri Lanka.
168
Sri Lanka has over 2500 years history.
169
We have a recorded history of Tustan.
170
We have a recorded history of about 2200 years of our kings.
171
That's a long time.
172
That is a long time.
173
That was a palace built in the forest somewhere.
174
In the forest on a hill.
175
They took the water up to the hill.
176
They have ponds.
177
Engineering, the infrastructure.
178
That's actually insane.
179
The biggest cat in Sri Lanka is the leopard.
180
And they are just walking around in the streets?
181
Not on the streets, in the forest.
182
Not on the streets, in the forest.
183
But in the forest, so you see, the leopard lives in Africa, in India and Sri Lanka.
184
In India, the leopard is hiding from the tiger.
185
Because if the tiger sees the leopard, the tiger kills the leopard.
186
In Africa, the leopard is hiding from the cheetah and the lion.
187
Because if they cross paths, the leopard gets killed.
188
But in Sri Lanka there is nobody to challenge the leopard.
189
He is the biggest guy.
190
He is the top of the food chain.
191
So he is roaming freely.
192
Nobody is trying to bite the leopard.
193
So he is very free in Sri Lanka.
194
So do you basically live in Sri Lanka and just came here in Russia or are you based in Russia?
195
I am based in Sri Lanka.
196
I am here with my company.
197
I will show you.
198
So you are the head here, right?
199
I am not the head here, but I am representing one of the companies.
200
That is my company.
201
We got some food right here.
202
Yeah, can I get food?
203
Thank you, thank you.
204
It's a nice place by the way.
205
It's beautiful.
206
Ocean, beaches, you can do...
207

208

209

By practicing with this engaging content, you will enhance your listening and speaking skills, making it easier to converse about global cultures and experiences.

Practice Tips
To make the most of this lesson, consider using a shadowing app to practice your speaking skills. Start by listening to the transcript at a slower speed, repeating each phrase aloud. This will help you mimic the natural intonations and rhythm used in everyday conversation. Since the speaker describes the festival with enthusiasm, focus on capturing that energy in your speech. Try to pause the video frequently and repeat key sentences or phrases, such as "We're going to maybe meet many foreigners today" to emphasize your pronunciation and fluency. Remember, engaging in shadow speaking is an effective way to reinforce your learning. Make sure to practice in a comfortable setting where you can speak freely and confidently. Each repetition brings you closer to achieving greater fluency in English!
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 โ like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1โ2 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 โ making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
