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
Choose all the sentences that are true according to what you heard in the podcast.
2
Did Carolina or Emily say these sentences from the podcast?
3
Move the words into the gaps to complete the sentences from the podcast.
4

5

hello again !
first, thank you for everything great on this web ! i have a question .
in these imperative sentences , if i say "having a shower" or "getting out of bed" instead of "have a shower " and "get out of bed ", would they be right or wrong ? ?
I know perhaps this problem is not difficult for somebody but for me, i still don't know and get it !
Thank you so much indeed !

Hello louder!
Don't forget to use our grammar search! You'll find a bit of information about the imperative on our clause structure page. As you can see, we use the base verb for imperatives, so having a shower and getting out of bed are both wrong.

Please give suggestion.

Hello ashishvlsi!
Don't worry - your problem is very common! Many students find it hard to speak fluently and accurately. To improve you fluency when you speak, there are a few things you can do.
The most important thing is to practice! You don't have to talk to a native speaker though – try your friends and colleagues, or go to a class. Even, if you can't do that, try recording yourself using your computer or an online recorder like www.vocaroo.com. Try to stick to easier topics when you practice fluency, too!
The second important thing is your attitude. Don't worry about mistakes, but focus on speaking. My students often ask me how to work on fluency, and I recommend that they make some classes or practice sessions about fluency, not accuracy. Instead of trying to get things perfect, they focus on trying to speak fluently. In other sessions, we go back to working on accuracy. Don't try to do everything (fluency, grammar, pronunciation) at once!
Hope that helps!

Hi, I am new here, but I'm very happy because I can improve my English skills.
Thank you British council for this opportunity.
When I feel sad, I prefer to go to visit my parents at the countryside.
There is a small village, near the mountains and all the people are nice and friendly. My parents grow animals and they have cows, chickens and a small pig. For me it's the best place in the world.
Hello,
I need help. I can not download the audio.

Hello Luana,
Can you explain your problem a bit more, please? Is it that you don't know how to download audio or that you know how, but when you try it doesn't work? What exactly is happening?
Best wishes,
