English Story, B1, B2, The Holiday
8
There's nothing better than feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin while listening to the waves lapping on the shore.
9
Kyle was dreaming of drinking cocktails by the sea,
10
reading a good book and napping throughout the day.
11
It had been a stressful few months at work
12
and he was looking forward to escaping the rat race
13
and heading off for some well-deserved rest and recuperation with his girlfriend, Philippa.
14
They'd booked a last-minute deal to a fancy hotel.
15
It was an all-inclusive deal,
16
so as the name suggests, everything was included.
17
They just had to make their way to the airport and from then on they didn't have to worry about a thing.
18
All they had to do was drop off their luggage and get on the plane.
19
They'd booked with an established company and Kyle decided to surprise Philippa and booked an upgrade for the flight.
20
It wasn't a long flight,
21
but he wanted to experience some luxury from the moment the plane took off.
22
Philippa was delighted.
23
She'd never flown first class before.
24
She was treated like a queen.
25
I could get used to this,
26
she smirked while making herself comfortable.
27
They were served champagne and fresh food.
28
There seemed to be no limit to what they could order.
29
A few hours later, the plane touched down and as Philippa and Kyle stepped off,
30
were hit with a wall of heat.
31
It was wonderful.
32
They'd forgotten what it felt like to be warm after what felt like an eternity of cold winter days in the UK.
33
They got their stamps in their passports and made their way to baggage control to collect their suitcases.
34
They waited patiently for what felt like hours.
35
Why does waiting for luggage always seemed to take so long.
36
Finally they saw their cases looping around the carousel and the dreaded fear that they had been lost disappeared.
37
Phew!
38
They made their way to the coaches outside ready for the drive to their five-star hotel.
39
They found their coach and thankfully it had air conditioning.
40
It was over 30 degrees outside.
41
It wouldn't have been a pleasant experience sitting on a coach for two hours with no air con or open windows.
42
They sat at the back of of the coach.
43
As they left the airport they started to feel excited about the next week.
44
They had done a lot of research on the places they wanted to visit
45
and were excited to explore the local area close to their hotel.
46
The journey to their hotel was stunning.
47
For most of it, they followed the path of the coastline.
48
Kyle was mesmerised by the sea, sparkling under the sunlight.
49
He couldn't believe that somewhere could be so beautiful.
50
They didn't mind the long journey to the hotel as they got to nosy at other people's accommodation
51
and see some of the sights from the coach.
52
The island looked stunning and very diverse.
53
Philippa made a mental note of the places she wanted to come back to and explore.
54
An hour later, they arrived at their hotel.
55
It was exquisite.
56
It had a large reception area with lovely cool aircon and friendly staff offering drinks and snacks on arrival.
57
They gave one of their staff their luggage,
58
who took it to their room,
59
while they checked in at reception.
60
Everyone was so happy, they were given their room number 628.
61
Philippa was excited.
62
She really hoped they had a sea view room like they'd requested.
63
When they got to their room,
64
their bags were waiting just inside the doorway.
65
They both went straight to the double doors.
66
They opened the curtains and there,
67
and there, right in front of them, was the Blue Sea.
68
They'd got the view they asked for.
69
They were on the top floor,
70
so they had a good bird's eye view of the complex.
71
They could see the pools,
72
the outdoor bar,
73
and they spied a few people doing yoga on a small patch of grass between the pool and the beach.
74
Kyle and Philippa decided to get down to the beach as quickly as possible.
75
They couldn't wait to jump in the sea.
76
They'd brought their own snorkeling gear and wanted to see what the local marine life had to offer.
77
They opened their cases, found their beach wear and got changed at lightning speed.
78
Before they knew it, they were reserving a sunbed,
79
quickly applying sun cream and running towards the crystal clear sea.
80
Philippa was first.
81
She dove head first into the sea and swam a little.
82
Kyle was more reserved and paddled in the shallows before he jumped in and joined her.
83
They swam around for a while before putting on their snorkelling gear.
84
As they dipped their heads under water,
85
they couldn't believe what they saw.
86
It was like looking into an aquarium.
87
Beautiful, multi-coloured fish swam around their feet.
88
They saw little crabs running around on the seabed and bright corals swaying in the water.
89
They stayed in the sea all afternoon,
90
only getting out to drink and reapply sun cream.
91
All of Kyle's work worries were a million miles away from him now.
92
This was exactly what he needed.
93
Being in the sea always put things into perspective for him.
94
As the sun started to set,
95
they headed back to their room to shower and dress for the evening.
96
They were both excited to try out the hotel food.
97
They'd worked up an appetite from swimming all afternoon.
98
They'd read amazing reviews about the choice of dishes on offer.
99
When they arrived at the restaurant,
100
they were seated at a table for two overlooking the bay.
101
It was a little breezy but refreshing.
102
They ordered their drinks and then went inside to pick their food.
103
There were so many dishes to choose from, they felt spoiled.
104
As they ate, they planned their next few days at the resort.
105
They wanted to hire a moped or maybe a car so they could explore the wider area.
106
They asked about buses but they didn't run near the hotel unfortunately.
107
Kyle wanted to visit another beach that had great snorkelling spots and Philippa wanted to check out some of the historical sites.
108
They wondered how they would be able to fit everything into their six remaining days.
109
It was important that Kyle and Philippa still had some time to relax,
110
so they planned four excursion days and two relaxing days.
111
They wanted to have a happy medium of exploring and chilling out.
112
After finishing their drinks, Kyle and Philippa headed back to their room.
113
They were exhausted after a long day travelling and swimming in the sea.
114
They couldn't wait to wake up tomorrow,
115
explore the island and make the most of their luxury holiday.

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.
