Authentic English Expressions: Autumn Lake – Listening and Speaking Practice

Learning English is not only about mastering grammar and vocabulary, but more importantly, being able to use it naturally in real-life situations. However, the sentences in textbooks are often too formal and differ greatly from everyday expressions. To speak authentic and natural English, it's essential to engage with conversations in real contexts. Here, we’ve selected commonly used English expressions for daily situations such as socializing, working, and traveling, helping you break free from 'textbook English' and learn what native speakers actually say. Below is the content of this episode, 'Episode 3 - Part 18: Autumn Lake.' Keep practicing consistently, and bring your English closer to real life!

I remember quite clearly now when the story happened. The odd and leaves were floating in measure down to the ground, recovering the lake, where we used to swim like children. On the sun the dare to shine. That time we used to be happy. Well, I thought we were.

But the truth is that you had been longing to leave me, not daring to tell me. And that precious night, watching the lake, it was a pitcher, and your friends are stories ending. The rain was killing the last phase of summer. You had been killing my last grade as well.

This is a long time ago. I still don't think I'm going to make it through another last story. You took it all. You took it all away from me. And there I stand. I knew where it was going to be. The one left behind. But still, I'm watching the lake. They'd be conscious. And I know. My life is a dream. My life is ending.
