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.

Select all the sentences that are true, according to the podcast.
