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 sentences that are true, according to the podcast.
2
Can you remember who said what in the podcast?
3
Put the words in order to make sentences from the podcast.
4
Match the words to the definitions.
5
Choose the right word to fill the gap.
6
Are these pairs of words homophones? Say them to yourself. Do they sound the same or different? (Note that this exercise is designed to work with most English accents - some words may sound different in other accents.)
7
When do we make these noises in English? Match the noises with their meanings.
8
Put the verbs in the spaces.

I do not have any social network account because I do not have enough time for that.
Well , i have friends on the social network and saying either it is good or not good depends on many points ,one of them is the age of each person ,the society level and so on.
Making friends all over the world is very interesting , it helps us understand several cultures ,religion and plenty of other things.
