- 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

The weather in my home country Argentina, where Messi is from, is also temperate. For us, a cold temperature is 5 °C and a hot temperature is 32°C. However, Argentina is a very big country so the temperatures change depending on the region you live. In the south it's colder and in the north is hotter.

I going to talk about the weather i north of Sweden.
in the winter usually the weather is miserable, the snow can be 1 meter high in the meddle of winter and the temperatures reaches -40 grads, but that is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is their is no day, just dark.
in the morning when it's time to go school you can't see the way.but the summer is opposite, their is no dark in the summer just day, we sleep in day week up the day, many people become crazy for that.
can anyone believe that ?
Hello everyone. I am Hervé Va from Ivory coast and it is my first post. To talk about weather in my country, long time ago we had 4 seasons, a short and long rainy season and, a short and long dry season. But now, it is difficult to feel the difference, I think it is because of global warming.

Hello. I'm from Romania. There is a temperate-continental climate. But in the last few years the weather is a little different. Some days in the summer are very hot, and some days in the winter are very cold. But with all that, the weather it's ok. We have four season. Now we are in early spring.
I live in Crimea,Ukraine. In my country the climate is moderate: we have mild winters, we rarely have snowfalls or severe frosts . Ukraine is a large country so the weather changes from region to region.In Crimea we have very hot summer and warm winters. We think that it is cold when the temperature is -30 degrees and it is hot when the temperature is +50 degrees. At that time it can be dangerous to stay in the sun after 11 o'clock a.m.
I live in Sochi, Russia. There is a subtropical climate here. We usually hve a very hot summer, and almost no snow in winter. The weather is quite changeable. Last two days it's grey and rainy. It's drizzly all the time these two days. Please correct my mistakes
