Elementary Podcasts are suitable for learners with different levels of English. Here are some ways to make them easier (if you have a lower level of English) or more difficult (if you have a higher level of English). You can choose one or two of these suggestions - you don't have to do all of them!
Making it easier
- Read all the exercises before you listen to the podcast.
- Look up the words in the exercises that you don't know in a dictionary.
- Play the podcast as many times as you need.
- Play each part of the podcast separately.
- Read the transcript after you have listened to the podcast.
Making it harder
- Listen to the podcast before you read the exercises.
- Only play the podcast once before answering the questions.
- Play the whole podcast without a break.
- Don't read the transcript.
Now, listen to the podcast and do the exercises on the following tabs.
1
Choose all the answers that are true according to what you heard in the podcast.
2
Put the words in order to make sentences from the podcast.
3
Put the words in the right spaces to make sentences from the podcast. Don’t look back at Activity 2!
4
‘Cat’ is a one-syllable word. ‘Window’ has two syllables. ‘Exciting’ has three. How many syllables do these words have? Put them in the right group.
5
Words with two syllables. Do we say ‘window’ (●•), or window’ (•●)? Which syllable is stressed in these words? Put the words in the right group.
6
Words with three syllables. Which syllable is stressed? Put the words in the right group.

Hi ,
thank you very much , I'm very happy with you :)
I was the superior graduate and i was supposed to continue my studies overseas instead i found my self drudging in a modest work 11800 mile away from home.
do i get homesick? yes of course, do i get into embarrassing situations? yes
but i didn't cry while talking to my family over the phone, this is an irresponsible act.
My advice is life isn't fair, besides you are a grown up woman so get over it like others do.
That may seem harsh but it is for your interest.
landan best of cty
very nice history and i am very happy becouse i understand it . it is very easy for me
It's a nice story. I don't feel homesick like Carolina but I feel her embarrassing situation in the shop with this aggressive customer. This situation will give her more power to continue learning English, but first she should pass her homesick feeling.
hallo every body.... very nice history;
