The  cost of living in the UK is going crazy. I’m sure it’s the same for  you. Petrol per litre has gone from £1.15 to £1.76. My food shopping was  about £100 a week for 3 people and 2 cats, now it’s about £145, for  nearly the same things. My gas bill has gone up 3 times, and it’s now  85% more expensive, but we’ve used less to keep the costs down. It’s  happening for everything though, my son’s computer chair broke (OK he  broke it!) I tried to buy the same chair on Amazon, and it was nearly  50% more, and it’s only a year old.

Talking in English about interesting topics is a great way to improve your English listening and comprehension skills.  Humans love a good story, and we have developed to keep this type of  “story” information in our longer term memory. The more relevant the  story to our survival, the more likely we are to store the information.  So our podcasts take advantage of this.

If you want to speak  English fluently and confidently, you are going to need to listen to  lots and lots of English being spoken by a fluent English speaker. Here  at Adept English we provide you for FREE!, all the English listening practice you could want. We have hundreds of interesting English listening practice podcasts ready for you to listen to right now.
