Monthly news from podcastsinenglish.com Dear Teacher If there's one thing that makes us feel better, it's the sunshine and for us, March means being outside more. This includes being in the garden and especially The veg patch (a level 1 video). It also means more walking in the countryside and finding Food for free. Discover a feast of plants in this level 3 podcast. These are two of our Podcasts of the Month. We also have, for level 2, Sue and Jackie Catching up. There are others so do keep an eye on the sidebar on the levels pages. We have updated the podcasts for special days for the second half of March. These include for level 3 what is Happiness? (International Day of Happiness is March 20). Listen and see if you agree with us. We also talk about Poetry (powerful or pointless?) for World Poetry Day on March 21, and have one of our pie videos for World Meteorological Day, 23 March: Come rain or shine. There are others so do go on the site and have a look. We start the month with a business podcast, but as always we think this is appropriate for all listeners. This month we ask What is Patreon? and wonder if all those (millions of!) people who have blogs and websites should get paid for the content they provide. Sometimes when people get COVID-19 they lose their sense of smell. For our level 1 podcast we talk about the things we like to smell and the things we don't! Listen to What a whiff! and see if you like the same smells as we do. Meanwhile our series of podcasts for lockdown is also in the levels sidebar including Pick up the pieces our podcast about the joy of jigsaws. We hope they make the situation a bit better. Every month one lucky winner gets free pie membership for 3 months. Just answer this question: Why did Jackie call the police? Was it a) because a window was broken, b) she saw a robbery or c) her bag was stolen? The answer is in this level 2 podcast The long arm of the law. Write your answer on our Contact us page. Remember to tell us your name and where you are from. Good luck! Answers by the end of the month. Best wishes Richard and Jackie The pie team |
