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

  • 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.

Hi everybody!
I'm from Milan. I would like to point out that the weather has been changing continuously since at least 10 years. I mean winter is not the same than 10 years ago as well as summer. This autumn for instance is unusually hot with very heavy rains that are causing a lot of problem here in Italy. We can say that Italian climate is not mild anymore but it became tropical.

Hi everyone. I'm Cristian from Bogotá, Colombia. The climate in my city doesn't change a lot, but because of the geographic position of my country, you can go to near cities and take a great tropical sun. Right now it is raining outside my flat, this is the worst season of the year, it rains a lot! Temperatures about 20 C are  common on hot days while you should feel like 2 C on cold days. Bye.
