23 分钟Hello and welcome back to your English five a day on the English Like a Native podcast.
This is your daily podcast that helps you to slowly but surely increase your English vocabulary,
improve your listening skills and feel more confident when using English.
And we do that through the use of stories.
My name is Anna and today is week 10, day 5 of our story following Gabriel as he journeys across the UK.
Now this week Gabriel has moved from pronunciation practice to ancient history to grand estates and even street art.
And today everything slows down as he and Sophie step into a completely different kind of experience.
One that engages all the senses.
As always, supporting material for this whole season are available at www. joinelan. com forward slash plus.
Now, let's recap the entire chapter and finish it off, and then we'll do some pronunciation practice.
The bus has taken Gabriel from Ullapool to Inverness,
and now he 's sitting on a train headed for Bristol Temple Meads railway station.
He puts his headphones on and opens his laptop, ready to continue his English pronunciation course.
He's alone at a table seat so he can do his vocal warm-up without feeling self-conscious.
He starts humming softly.
A calm English female voice flows into his ears.
Let's begin with shadowing.
Say this phrase with me three times.
The phrase is pick it up.
Gabriel mimics the app, copying the rhythm, intonation and pronunciation.
