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.
1
Select all the true sentences.
2
Match the times in number format with the times in word format.
3
Move the words into the right gaps.
4
Put the different parts of the conversation in the right order. The first is at the top.
5
Drag the words into the right gaps.
6
Choose two possible answers.
7
Match the questions to the answers.

hello everyone!
This podcast is very interesting and useful.
I'm studing at university. In future, I want to become a bank officer because it's a well paid job and working environment is very professional.So I 'm trying to it
I want to ask a question. I know maybe it's a silly one, but I am a little bit curious about it. Is Mr.Adam who talks in this podcast the same person who appears in Word in the street? Thanks in advance.

Hello Nourhan,
I don't appear in Word on the Street and I don't think there is anyone called Adam in it - but I might have forgotton someone. Rob appears in both Elementary Podcasts and Word on the Street, though. Are you thinking of him?
Best wishes,
Adam

Oh, I am really sorry. I mixed between the two voices. I am not thinking of him, but Mr. Rob's voice sounded familiar to me when I listened to Elementary Podcast. That's why I asked for.
Thanks very much indeed.

I don’t like The University current; however that university isn’t bad.
I don’t like of the studies degree that dedication in process. I like relationship, clients, customers, etc. Management of periods. Therefore I am contemplating to exchange degree current for other, but I thinking again and to continue and finished the Industrial Engineer.

pd. ear language English and speaker like very much.
Yes, I love my work. Actually I have been working for thirty-three years, Work has changed a lot since the beginning. Now I have some clients to take care of. We keep in touch and do our business together, if we can. Sometimes there are troubles but we try to find a solution, agreeable for both the parts, Some stress but not a lot, quite bearable. It's all great eventually.
I work as a, let's call it, "quide" for disabled people. I really enjoy it, but it also made me aware, that even an elderly and really disabled people are able to manipulate and use other. It taught me the assertiveness- it was like psychological practice, what is connected with my studies.
I am a pilot so it is very interesting job .first there is no routine at all ,we never do the same work ,all days are different some time we fly to Europe some others we fly to the Sahara it means domestic fly .The other interesting thing is that we always work with different people .
