Step 1. Read and listen. Pay attention to the pronunciation of the highlighted words.
Solitude isn’t just a personal preference—it’s a practice that has shaped human history. Throughout time, people have chosen to step away from society, not out of rejection or punishment, but out of a desire for something deeper. Eremetism, the act of withdrawing from the world to live in solitude, has existed in nearly every culture, often linked to spiritual enlightenment, intellectual growth, or personal transformation. But here’s where it gets really interesting: modern eremites still exist today. There are people, right now, who have chosen to live in complete solitude, away from modern life. Some of them are spiritual seekers, like hermit monks who take vows of silence. Others are survivalists, people who have chosen to live off the grid, disconnected from the internet, from news, from everything. And then there are those who didn’t necessarily set out to be eremites but found themselves drawn into a life of solitude anyway.
Step 2. Read the words out loud. Listen to other students reading the words. Clap once if you hear a mistake. Model correct pronunciation.
Activity 1. Read the text. What is the main idea?
