Still, it wasn't anyone's fault.
8
It's just one of those things, I suppose.

It's the school holidays, so there's always a lot of traffic on the road.

Well, I'm not sure.
25
It looks very quiet.
26
Although the swimming pool in this one does look fantastic.
27
Is there one like this, but nearer to the town centre?
28
Well, there is this one, but it is much further from the airport.
29
Oh no, I really don't want to make the journey any longer than it already is.

I'm very sorry to hear that.
43
I'll have the hotel staff look out for it.
44
When did you last see it?
45
I'm not sure really.
46
I had it before I went for dinner last night, and I think I had it afterwards when I was with my friends in the hotel lobby.
47
Or did I?
48
I honestly can't recall when I last saw it.

I definitely had it when I came out of the dining area, though.

Passengers flying on the 735 flight to Munich, Gate 8, will now be departing at 10.35.

67
There might also be gate changes, so please check the departure boards regularly for an update.
68
Due to this unfortunate delay, the airline would like to offer every passenger a food token worth £4,
69
which they are free to use at any of the cafes in the departure lounge.
70
To collect this and for any further questions, please come to the information desk to the left of gate 10.

The food was fantastic and because it was hot we could go to the beach every day.
82
Oh!
83
So where were the people you met from?
84
They were all Italian and I'm definitely going to stay in touch with them.
85
For me that was the highlight of the holiday and we wouldn't have known what to see, eat and do without their help.

It sounds like you had a really good trip.

We will now stop our tour for a short lunch break.

It's important that everyone's on time, as the bus will leave promptly at 1300.
115
Of course, we will not abandon anyone.
116
However, if we're late back on the bus, we may miss our session at the museum, which is booked for 1400.
117
Please stay within the city centre, therefore, as you won't have the time to explore any further.
118
Also, there's less chance of you getting lost.

Enjoy your lunch.

129
Well, I have never seen anything like it.
130
This hotel is nothing like the pictures on your website.
131
The rooms are old and dirty and your facilities are certainly not the same as those advertised.
132
And one of the lamps in my bedroom doesn't work.
133
I can assure you, madam, that this is the hotel advertised and we do provide all the services shown on our website.
134
Admittedly, some of our rooms and equipment do need a little updating, and this is scheduled for this autumn.
135
I don't care if you're going to decorate and fix things after I've left.
136
What are you going to do now?
137
At the very least you can upgrade my room.

Actually, no, that isn't enough.

I want my money back, or I'll find another hotel.

Об этом уроке

Вы практикуете английский с "COMPLETE FIRST FOR SCHOOL WB 04" с помощью техники Shadowing — метода, разработанного для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков.

Слушайте каждое предложение, обращайте внимание на ударения и связывание звуков, затем повторяйте вслух уверенно. 15–30 минут ежедневной практики дадут заметные результаты.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
