Let's go.
19
My name is Maria, and today I want to share with you the most exciting day of my life.
20
I am standing in my bedroom, looking at my suitcase.
21
Tomorrow morning, I will fly to Paris, France.
22
This is the City of Lights,
23
the City of Love, the city I have dreamed about since I was a little girl.
24
I have been planning this trip for two years.
25
I saved money every month,
26
I studied French phrases, and I read guidebooks about Paris.
27
But now that the day is almost here,
28
I feel nervous and excited at the same time.
29
My hands are shaking as I fold my clothes and put them in my suitcase case.
30
I wake up early the next morning.
31
The sun is not up yet,
32
but I cannot sleep anymore.
33
I take a shower, eat a light breakfast,
34
and call a taxi to take me to the airport.
35
My heart is beating fast as I sit in the taxi,
36
watching my city disappear behind me.
37
At the airport, everything looks huge and busy.
38
People are walking everywhere with their luggage.
39
I hear announcements in different languages.
40
I feel small and a little scared, but also very excited.
41
I find the check-in counter for my airline and stand in line.
42
When it's my turn, the lady at the counter smiles at me.
43
Good morning!
44
Where are you traveling today?
45
She asks.
46
Paris, I answer, trying to sound confident.
47
First time?
48
She asks with a kind smile.
49
Yes, my very first time, I admit.
50
She hands me my boarding pass and says,
51
you're going to love it.
52
Have a wonderful trip.
53
I look at my boarding pass.
54
Gate 15, seat 22F.
55
I have never seen an airport this big before.
56
I follow the signs to security,
57
and the line is very long.
58
I wait patiently, watching other travelers.
59
Some look calm and experienced,
60
others look as nervous as I feel.
61
After security, I walk through the duty-free shops.
62
Everything is so expensive.
63
I buy a small bottle of water and find gate 15.
64
There are many people waiting there, talking in different languages.
65
I sit down and watch the big airplane outside the window.
66
In a few hours, that plane will take me to Paris.
67
The announcement comes.
68
Flight 442 to Paris is now boarding.
69
My heart jumps.
70
This is really happening.
71
I get in line with my boarding pass and passport ready.
72
The flight attendant scans my ticket and says, Welcome aboard, Miss Maria.
73
Enjoy your flight.
74
I walk down the narrow aisle of the airplane, looking for seat 22F.
75
When I find it, I'm happy to see it's a window seat.
76
I put my small bag under the seat in front of me and sit down.
77
A friendly older man sits next to me.
78
Going to Paris? he asks.
79
Yes, my first time, I tell him.
80
Ah, you're in for a treat,
81
he says with a smile.
82
The airplane starts moving and I look out the window.
83
We're going faster and faster and suddenly we're in the air.
84
I can see my country getting smaller and smaller below us.
85
I feel tears in my eyes,
86
but they are happy tears.
87
I'm really doing this.
88
During the flight, I try to sleep, but I'm too excited.
89
I look out the window at the clouds and think about all the things I want to see in Paris.
90
The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum,
91
the beautiful streets I've seen in movies.
92
The man next to me tells me about his favorite restaurants in Paris and gives me some helpful advice.
93
After what feels like forever,
94
the pilot announces, Ladies and gentlemen,
95
we are now beginning our descent into Paris.
96
Please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts.
97
I look out the window and see the lights of Paris below us.
98
It's more beautiful than I ever imagined.
99
The airplane lands smoothly and everyone starts clapping.
100
I'm in Paris.
101
I actually made it to Paris.
102
I follow the other passengers off the plane and through the airport.
103
Everything has signs in French,
104
and I try to read them with my basic French knowledge.
105
At passport control, the officer looks at my passport and stamps it.
106
Welcome to France, he says in English.
107
I walk to the baggage claim area and wait for my suitcase case.
108
When I see it coming on the conveyor belt,
109
I grab it quickly and head toward the exit.
110
As I walk out of the airport,
111
I see a big sign that says Bienvenue à Paris,
112
which means Welcome to Paris.
113
I take a deep breath of French air and smile.
114
I did it.
115
I traveled to another country by myself, and I survived.
116
I feel proud, brave, and ready for adventure.
117
I take a taxi to my hotel,
118
and as we drive through the streets of Paris,
119
I see the Eiffel Tower in the distance.
120
It's even more magnificent than in the pictures.
121
The taxi driver sees me staring and says,
122
In broken English, beautiful, no?
123
Yes, I whisper, very beautiful.
124
When I arrive at my hotel,
125
the receptionist greets me in French,
126
then switches to English when she sees my confused face.
127
Welcome to Paris.
128
Do you need help with your bags?
129
She asks kindly.
130
Thank you, I say.
131
I'm so excited to be here.
132
She smiles and says, First time in Paris?
133
When I nod, she gives me a map of the city and marks all the best places to visit.
134
In my hotel room, I sit on the bed and look out the window at the Paris streets below.
135
I can't believe I'm really here.
136
Just this morning, I was in my own country,
137
feeling nervous about this trip.
138
Now I'm in Paris, the city of my dreams.
139
I feel different somehow, stronger and more confident.
140
I unpack my clothes and think about everything that happened today.
141
The kind lady at check-in.
142
The helpful man on the plane.
143
The friendly hotel receptionist.
144
Everyone was so nice to me,
145
even though my English isn't perfect,
146
and I don't speak French very well.
147
It makes me realize that people are generally good and helpful when you travel.
148
As the sun sets over Paris,
149
I decide to take a short walk around my hotel.
150
The streets are full of people enjoying their evening.
151
I hear French conversations everywhere,
152
and I try to understand a few words.
153
The smell of fresh bread and coffee fills the air.
154
Everything feels magical and new.
155
I find a small cafe and decide to be brave.
156
I go inside and try to order a coffee in French.
157
The waiter doesn't understand my pronunciation,
158
so I switch to English.
159
One coffee, please, I say with a smile.
160
He nods and brings me the most delicious coffee I've ever tasted.
161
I sit there, watching people walk by,
162
feeling proud of myself for being brave enough to try.
163
Back in my hotel room,
164
I call my family to tell them I arrived safely.
165
They are so excited to hear about my adventure.
166
I tell them about the airplane,
167
the airport, and my first coffee in Paris.
168
My mother says she's proud of me for being so brave.
169
My father says he can't wait to hear about all my adventures.
170
Before I go to sleep,
171
I write in my travel journal.
172
Today I learned that I am braver than I thought.
173
I also learned that traveling alone isn't as scary as I imagined.
174
Yes, I felt nervous, but I didn't let that stop me.
175
I spoke to strangers, I found my way around a big airport,
176
and I even ordered coffee in a foreign country.
177
Tomorrow I will visit the Eiffel Tower,
178
but tonight I'm just happy to be here.
179
Maria's story teaches us several important things.
180
First, it's normal to feel nervous when we try something new,
181
especially something as big as traveling to another country alone.
182
But being nervous doesn't mean we should give up on our dreams.
183
Maria felt scared, but she didn't let that stop her from achieving her goal.
184
Second, preparation is very important.
185
Maria didn't just decide to go to Paris one day and buy a ticket.
186
She planned for two years,
187
saved money, and studied French.
188
When we prepare well, we feel more confident and ready for challenges.
189
Third, people are often kind and helpful when we travel.
190
the lady at check-in, the man on the plane,
191
the hotel receptionist, and even the cafe waiter all showed Maria kindness.
192
When we're open and friendly,
193
others usually respond the same way.
194
Most importantly, Maria's story shows us that we can do more than we think we can.
195
Before this trip, Maria probably never imagined she could travel to Paris by herself.
196
But she did it, and now she knows she's brave and capable of great adventures.
197
Sometimes we surprise ourselves with what we can achieve.
198
Now let me share some important words and phrases from Maria's story that you can use when you travel.
199
These vocabulary words will help you feel more confident at airports and during your own adventures.
200
First, let's talk about airport vocabulary.
201
Check-in counter is the place where you get your boarding pass.
202
Boarding pass is your ticket to get on the airplane.
203
Security is where airport staff check your bags and identification location.
204
Gate is where you wait to board your flight.
205
Duty-free shop refers to stores in airports where you don't pay tax on items you buy.
206
Next, here are some useful flight phrases.
207
Where are you traveling today is a common question from check-in staff.
208
Have a wonderful trip is a kind wish for travelers.
209
Welcome aboard is the greeting when you enter the airplane.
210
Please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts as a safety instruction you'll hear on every flight.
211
Here are some polite travel expressions that will help you communicate better.
212
First time is a way of asking if this is someone's first visit to a place.
213
You're in for a treat means you will really enjoy something.
214
Welcome to France or welcome to any country is a friendly greeting you might hear when you arrive somewhere new.
215
Let's practice these phrases together.
216
Repeat after me.
217
Where are you traveling today?
218
Have a wonderful trip.
219
Welcome aboard.
220
Please fasten your seatbelts.
221
Excellent!
222
These phrases will be very helpful on your own travel adventures.
223
Now I want you to think about Maria's journey and ask yourself some questions.
224
Have you ever traveled to another country?
225
If yes, how did you feel during your first international trip?
226
If no, where would you like to go for your first international adventure.
227
What do you think Maria will do tomorrow in Paris?
228
Will she visit the Eiffel Tower first,
229
or will she explore the local neighborhoods?
230
What would you do first if you were in Paris for the first time?
231
Would you visit famous monuments,
232
try local food, or just walk around and enjoy the atmosphere?
233
These are all great choices,
234
and there's no wrong answer.
235
Remember, learning English is like taking a journey,
236
just like Maria's trip to Paris.
237
Sometimes you feel confident, sometimes you feel nervous,
238
but every step takes you closer to your goal.
239
Just like Maria prepared for her trip by studying French and saving money,
240
you can prepare for your English-speaking future by practicing every day.
241
Every time you listen to a story like this one,
242
every time you practice shadowing,
243
every time you try to speak English with someone, you're getting better.
244
Don't worry if you make mistakes.
245
Even Maria felt nervous about her English,
246
but she still managed to communicate with everyone she met.
247
Thank you for joining Maria on her adventure today.
248
I hope her story inspired you and helped you learn some useful English vocabulary and phrases.
249
You can watch this video as many times as you want.
250
Each time you practice shadowing,
251
you'll improve your pronunciation and speaking skills.
252
If this video helped you learn something new,
253
please give it a thumbs up and share it with other English learners.
254
Don't forget to subscribe for more stories and English practice videos.
255
Before we finish, remember this important message.
256
Every expert was once a beginner.
257
Maria was nervous about her first international trip,
258
but she became a confident traveler by the end of her first day.
259
You might feel nervous about speaking English now,
260
but with practice and patience, you'll become confident too.
261
Keep practicing, stay curious, and remember that your English learning journey is an adventure too.
262
Every mistake is a step forward,
263
every conversation is progress, and every day you practice brings you closer to your goals.
264
See you in the next video, and happy learning!

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
