Today I am here with my friend Kieran and we are going to have an easy English conversation.

We hope you enjoy!

Hi!

What is your name?

My name is Kieran.

What is your name?

My name is Maria.

So nice to meet you, Maria.

It's so nice to meet you too.

What did you do last weekend?

Last weekend, I had lots of things to do.

I went to the grocery store and I bought lots of food.

Then I cooked dinner for my family

and the next day i went to the beach oh what beach did you go to

i have a beach very close to my house so nice did you swim yes i swam in the ocean

so nice yeah it was really nice

but the water was a little bit cold oof yeah

but sometimes i like cold water it feels really good on really hot days to swim in cold water yeah

So what did you do last weekend?

Last weekend, I went to a recital for my daughter's school.

And then we had friends over for dinner, which was really nice.

The next day, we had to go to the doctor because my daughter hurt her wrist.

Ouch.

It was unfortunate.

But now she's okay.

Good.

I'm glad to hear that.

What did you eat at the dinner with your friends?

We had grilled fish and vegetables and bread.

And afterwards we had cake.

Yum. So yummy.

I love all of those things.

Do you have any plans for the summer?

I do.

This summer, I'm going to go camping with my family.

So much fun.

We have a big camping tent and we are going to sleep in it for two weeks.

Are you going to be driving somewhere far or close?

We are going to somewhere which is about one hour away so it's not too far.

That's nice.

Yeah but But I'm a little worried because I think it's going to be very hot where we're camping.

And I think it's going to get really hot in the tent. So we shall see.

Maybe you could buy a fan to put inside of the tent.

That's a good idea.

Good idea.

And what will you do over the summer?

This summer, I'm going to take an airplane to another country and visit my friends and family.

Nice.

Is it a long plane ride?

Yes, it is very long.

It is 11 hours long.

Wow.

Not fun with two little kids.

Do you like to watch movies on the airplane?

I love to watch movies on the airplane and read a book and listen to a story.

So hopefully me and my two kids can do all of those things.

Yeah.

I really love to watch movies on the airplane and to sleep.

I always really sleep well on airplanes.

I think you're one of very few people.

Really?

I always like going to sleep like right as the airplane takes off.

Oh no. It's the best.

Like I sleep so well in that moment.

I need to know your secret because it's very hard for me to sleep.

Really?

I can sleep.

I sleep a lot on airplanes.

It sounds like you're going to have a very fun summer.

I think I will, too.

And other than that, I will just really try to relax and spend lots of time at home.

And I'm going to try to really take a break from lots of things that I am focused on throughout the year.

because I think it's important to just take a break sometimes and relax.

It is very important to relax.

Yeah.

I agree.

So we will see if I'm able to do that.

We will see.

Yeah.

What will you do when you're on vacation with your friends and family?

Well, my friends and family live in a place that's tropical.

So we will swim in the ocean.

We will relax on the deck or outside.

We'll see the stars at nighttime and make meals together,

maybe visit a new place together and just spend a lot of time talking and relaxing together.

That's great.

When I go home to my family,

I also like to just spend lots of time talking and relaxing.

And sometimes it feels good to not do much and to have no plan and to just be.

Exactly.

Because now it feels like we always have plans and And especially if you live far from family,

it's nice to have no plans and to relax and to talk in person and not on the phone.

It's just a really good feeling.

Summer, I think, is a time to reset.

Yeah.

And really just take some space with whatever you're going through

and take a break and just enjoy nature and being together

100

and get ready for the next start of the school year or work work.

101

Yeah.

102

Because if we never take breaks, we never recharge, right?

103

You never like feel like you're ready for the next chapter.

104

Exactly.

105

So we'll see how the summer goes.

106

I think it sounds like we're both going to have a really great summer.

107

I think so too.

108

It was really nice meeting you, Maria.

109

It was so nice meeting you too. Have a great summer.

110

You too.

111

Bye.

112

Bye.

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.
