Скачать или смотреть ep12 - Part 1 - A true shipwreck story: A lesson in love and preparation

ShiftEnglish tells the true story of Maurice and Maralyn Bailey, a British couple who survived 117 days in the Pacific Ocean after a whale sank their boat. This episode is based on the book A Marriage at Sea by Sophie Elmhirst and explains their journey in clear and simple English aimed at intermediate English leaners.



You will follow the Baileys as they sail from England toward the Galápagos Island, and what happened on the day a sperm whale hit their boat and caused it to sink. This first part of the episode also looks at Maurice’s careful planning, why he chose not to bring a radio, and how some dangers in life cannot be prepared for.
