1
You will hear a radio programme in which two people, Olivia Wilde and Michael Asimwe, are discussing the African tour company they work for.
2
Choose the answer A, B, C or D which fits best according to what you hear.
3
I'm joined today by the head of African overland tour company Joy Adventures, Olivia Wilde, and one of her veteran tour guides,
4
Michael Azimwe, for this week's travel feature, in which we throw the spotlight on Africa,
5
and in particular, land -based touring and adventures there.
6
Olivia, turning first to you, can you tell me what an overland tour company offers that is so unique?
7
Certainly.
8
Africa is, of course, a huge continent, so the logistical challenge of seeing much of it in one go is stern, to say the least.
9
Usually, extensive travel comes at a price which affords it only to a privileged few.
10
What we aim to do at our tour company is make Africa accessible and affordable to all.
11
We offer overland itineraries which enable tourists to see many different parts of the continent, while keeping costs in check.
12
This is one factor which differentiates us from other tour operators out there, and we pride ourselves on our inclusivity.
13
We make Africa accessible to all.
14
But this sounds almost too good to be true.
15
Otherwise, why don't all tour operators have the same model?
16
Well, let me explain.
17
There is, of course, a trade -off for keeping costs low.
18
We offer a no -frills experience.
19
This is not the luxury African adventure most of your listeners will be accustomed to hearing about.
20
It's quite hands -on.
21
Tour members are expected to partake in cooking, cleaning and pitching tents and so forth.
22
It's all part of the experience.
23
They're not weighted on, hand and foot. And by and large, the accommodation is basic camping for the most part as i
24
mentioned though there are occasional stops in large towns where we use dorm rooms
25
and upgrades are possible to private accommodation in most places where
26
we stay for those prepared to pay a little extra from
27
their own pocket who would like improved comfort i see
28
and what is your real michael what does tour guiding on such a no -frills adventure entail.
29
Well, I have to be a bit of a jack -of -all -trades.
30
I'm a driver, entertainer, guide and chef.
31
Again, in order to offer the best value for money, it's necessary for us to keep staffing levels to a minimum, so there are seldom more than one or two guides accompanying each tour.
32
We, if you like, oversee and manage things,
33
and the tourists themselves also pitch in to bring everything together and make the experience as pleasant as possible.
34
as Olivia already mentioned, I think.
35
It is a very rewarding and fulfilling experience, and I use my local knowledge to make it even more so.
36
Indeed, Michael makes an important point.
37
Our company is committed to using local staff and supporting the local community.
38
This is another excellent reason to choose our packages.
39
You are, essentially, giving something back to Africa for the wonderful experience you enjoy there.
40
We source local produce for food and supplies where possible, only stay in accommodation owned and staffed by locals,
41
and exploit the in -depth knowledge our guides have to provide a truly unique and unrivaled experience of Africa.
42
So, are you the only company offering such tours?
43
You make your packages sound very unique indeed.
44
Well, that was so until recently, yes.
45
However, copycats are emerging and trying to jump on the back of our success, having seen the great appetite amongst tourists for what we offer.
46
But there's no substitute for the experience we have amassed from being in this business for 20 -plus years.
47
It's simply impossible to replicate what we offer, therefore, I believe.
48
I would agree with Olivia, having worked for a number of different tour operators.
49
I can certainly vouch for the fact that Joy Adventures is the best.
50
For instance, take the Overland vehicles.
51
Even these are tailor -made.
52
While other tour operators use modified buses or trucks, we have designed, commissioned and produced one -off vehicles purpose -built for overlanding in Africa.
53
They offer unrivaled practicality and comfort.
54
It's another example of the lengths we go to to ensure our offering is truly unique and value for money.
55
The overland vehicles alone, of course, to not justify the choice of our tour, but they're one of the main key ingredients, which mean that it's truly unrivalled.
56
Michael is right.
57
We leave the competition trailing, to be perfectly honest with you, and not just in terms of the experience, but also in terms of price.
58
Right, thank you.
59
Now, let's look a little, shall we, at some of your specific itineraries.

  • Os sons de “sh” e “zh”: accommodation /əˌkɒm.əˈdeɪ.ʃən/, differentiate /dɪf.əˈɹɛn.ʃi.eɪt/
  • Palavras longas — acerte a sílaba tônica: accommodation /əˌkɒm.əˈdeɪ.ʃən/, itinerary /aɪˈtɪnəˌɹɛɹi/, dormitory /ˈdɔɹ.mɪˌtɔɹ.i/, entertainer /ˌɛntɚˈteɪnɚ/, inclusivity /ˌɪŋkluːˈsɪvɪti/

  • /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: frill /fɹɪl/, entail /ɛnˈteɪl/, logistical /ləˈdʒɪ.stɪ.k(ə)l/, fulfill /fʊlˈfɪl/
  • s + consoante no início — sem um “i” antes: stern /stɝn/, spotlight /ˈspɒtˌlaɪt/

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
