  • Hello and welcome back to your English five a day on the English Like a Native podcast.

  • This is your daily dunk into the English language so that with a little effort over a long time you can slowly but surely

  • increase your active and passive vocabulary,

  • improve your listening skills and generally start to feel more confident with the English language.

  • My name is Anna and today Well, we're finishing the penultimate week.

  • We are on week 11, day five of our story following Gabriel.

  • And as it is Friday, it means that it's time for our full episode where I bring everything from this week back together.

  • As always, supporting materials for this season are available at www. joinelan. com forward slash plus.

  • All right, are you ready to hear the whole of chapter 11?

  • Let's go.

  • Sophie left for Lyon early in the morning.

  • A hug at Temple Meads, a promise to message, then back to lectures, deadlines and real life.

  • Gabriel suddenly has two free weeks in the UK before his own return and he still has no fixed plan.

  • That's how he finds himself stepping off a small local train into the Somerset village of Freshford.

  • It looks unreal.

  • Ivy-covered stone cottages line the narrow street, the green leaves climbing up the walls.

  • Gabriel can't believe how picturesque it looks, as if it were something staged for a film.

  • After a while, he goes up to a passerby.

  • Excuse me?

  • Gabriel says politely.
