English as a Second Language Podcast

http://www.eslpod.com/website/index_new.html I am Thai living in Thailand. Although English is not my first language, I tried my best to improve my English by listening to the radio, watching television, but it does not help me much in improving because they talk too fast and make me confused. Fortunately, I found you site on the internet.

Before the leader makes a decision, he should consider it carefully, has he fully heard the opinions of the masses or has he fully considered the interests of the masses? Beijing's Subway has always been the object of envy by citizens from other cities: multi-line, low fare ... but recently, due to a "ban", the Beijing subway has become the focus of public opinion. This "ban" is a "letter on the views of freely distributing the Beijing Daily Messenger but stopping sales of other newspapers and periodicals at all the rail transit stations" issued by the Public Transport team of Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau to the Beijing subway Corps.

Intermediate Listening Lessons have straight forward questions and answers but with longer dialogs. If you listen, you should be able to clearly hear the answer from the audio file. If you are still uncertain about the dialog, you can click on "Show Conversation Dialog" to see the text. I recommend to not view the Conversation Dialog until you really try to listen without reading.

Section 2 is based on someone talking about something that they’re interested in – it could be anything – a hobby, a person, a place, a thing – something that they know a bit about and would like to share. It helps you to practise speaking for a little bit longer – for example, when you're explaining something, or telling people something about yourself. Suggestion : The best way to practise is with a friend who speaks English or is also learning English. http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/elementary-podcasts/series-02-episode-07

Interesting Thing of the Day

One of the great things about language—any language, but I’m thinking especially of English—is how badly you can mangle it and still be understood. All spoken language has a certain amount of built-in redundancy, so you can figure out, for example, what would have come at the end of this sentence if I’d bothered to… And the same is true at the level of individual words. If I say “gonna” instead of “going to” or “kinda” instead of “kind of,” you’ll still know exactly what I’m trying to say.
