B1 B2 English Story Solo Travel
10
Daisy woke up with a smile on her face for the first time in a long time.
11
She knew it was now time for her to book her next travel adventure.
12
Like many people,
13
Daisy had experienced a lousy few years Her relationship had broken
14
down She'd started a new job She had moved house And her pet cat,
15
Jerry, had passed away She was now starting to come out of the other end of it
16
No longer did she feel like a heavy cloud was looming over her.
17
She could see the light at the end of the tunnel and she was working her way towards it.
18
She had a lovely day planned.
19
It was a Saturday and she was going to go for a quick 5km run before showering
20
and meeting her friends for brunch and a walk around a local nature reserve.
21
Then Daisy planned to come home and spend the rest of the day on her computer.
22
That might not sound overly exciting,
23
but what she was going to do was incredibly thrilling.
24
Daisy had been thinking for some time that she wanted to go on a solo travel adventure.
25
She thought about the countries she wanted to visit and how much money she had in her savings account.
26
She was saving up to buy a house,
27
but the last few years had reminded her that it was now or never.
28
She needed to take life by the horns and enjoy herself.
29
She had set herself a budget and decided she was going to book a two week trip to Vancouver.
30
She had wanted to go for many years and she had met
31
so many wonderful Canadian people that she knew she would like it.
32
Daisy had never been to Canada before.
33
She was excited but she wasn't looking forward to the long plane journey as she didn't like flying.
34
Nevertheless, Daisy couldn't wait to get her trip planned and booked.
35
She completed her plans for the day,
36
and after getting home after socializing with her friends,
37
she made herself a big cup of hot chocolate and curled up on the sofa.
38
On her way home, she had stopped off at the bookshop and purchased a travel guide about Vancouver.
39
She looked through the options and decided that 10 days in the city would be enough.
40
She planned to spend half her time in Vancouver and half exploring Vancouver Island.
41
Daisy really wanted to see the sights at Whistler and Banff but unfortunately she didn't have the budget or the time.
42
Daisy didn't tell her friends about her travel plans.
43
She decided that she wouldn't tell anyone until she had booked everything.
44
The first thing she did was try and find cheap flights.
45
She managed to find a return flight from London Heathrow to Vancouver for £550.
46
She had some air miles so she actually paid £475.
47
Then she sorted out her travel insurance just in case she got sick or had an accident.
48
Then she paid for her electronic travel authorization,
49
which is like a tourist visa.
50
It was cheap.
51
It only cost $7.
52
Now she had the difficult decision of where to stay.
53
Daisy didn't really fancy staying in a hotel.
54
She preferred to stay in hostels so she could chat with other people
55
and get ideas of places to see and things to do.
56
She opted for a private room in a hostel in downtown Vancouver
57
as she wanted to be able to walk
58
or cycle to most places rather than paying a lot for public transport or taxis.
59
She would stay there for five nights.
60
Then she checked where she could stay on Vancouver Island.
61
There were so many places she wanted to see.
62
It was hard to narrow down her options.
63
She decided she would be daring
64
and would leave it until she was in Vancouver to decide on where she would stay on the island.
65
After all, she wasn't going at a busy time of the year.
66
And if she got stuck,
67
she could always extend her stay in Vancouver.
68
The last thing Daisy needed to do was book her transport to and from the airport in the UK.
69
She decided she would drive and park at the airport as she had a money off voucher.
70
It was a little expensive,
71
but she preferred that to getting a train that might end up being late.
72
For the rest of the evening,
73
Daisy looked up blogs and YouTube videos about where to stay and what to see.
74
Now she just had a couple of months until she could go
75
and explore a city that she has wanted to see since she was a little girl.
76
If you could visit any city in the world,
77

Советы по практике
Чтобы максимально использовать этот урок, попробуйте применять технику shadowing при прослушивании видео. Shadowing английский — это метод, который позволяет вам имитировать звучание английского языка, улучшающее ваше произношение и уверенность. Вот несколько советов, как это сделать:
- Начните с медленного прослушивания. Вы можете повторять каждую фразу за диктором, стараясь подражать интонации и ритму.
- Запускайте видео несколько раз, сосредотачиваясь на разных аспектах: в первый раз слушайте, что говорит рассказчик, а затем повторяйте его слова с точностью.
- Работайте над произношением трудных слов, таких как "авиабилет" и "страхование на поездку". Это поможет вам улучшить произношение английского.
- Постепенно увеличивайте скорость воспроизведения. Начните с ― 0.75× скорости и переходите к нормальной. Это поможет вашему уху привыкнуть к естественному темпу разговорной речи.
- Не забывайте делать паузы после ключевых фраз, чтобы успеть повторить их своими словами. Это создаст ощущение shadow speech и пусть ваш английский станет более естественным.
Получая удовольствие от прослушивания, вы также развиваете свои навыки shadow speak, что сделает вашу речь более плавной и уверенной. Удачи в обучении!
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.
