21 分钟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.
