While you listen
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.

Hello Everybody
I always greet to my friends with a kiss and hug. However, if I know a new person I prefer to give shake hands. I have been living in New Zealand for 4 years and at the beginning when I hung out for a walk everybody says "hi" , "G'day" and I could not answer back them because for me they were stranger after I understood that all New Zealander greets quite friendly. Now I am used to greeting to them and it feels quite friendly and lovely.
Cheers,
hi every one... how are you?

I do teaching for junior high school and English is not our second language it is why most of my students are difficult to learn English. Any suggest for me? Especially to teach my student to feel fun in their learning. Thanks :)
