Monthly news from podcastsinenglish.com Dear Teacher It's August and unfortunately we, as much of Europe (including the UK!) and other parts of the world, are experiencing some very high temperatures. This means wildfires. We have two level 3 podcasts about this topic. In Fire! Fire! Peter talks about his experience of escaping a forest fire, this includes one of our pie vids. And in The firefighters we salute the brave men and women who do one of the toughest jobs. Talking of bravery, this is the theme for our latest podcast: Heroism. We question those people who are called heroes, and put forward candidates who really do risk all for others. Who is a real life hero for you? As always keep an eye on the sidebar for the levels pages where you can find our Podcasts of the month. There are plenty there including: In focus. Robert talks about how photography has changed in his lifetime. And Pam talks about being different in My left hand (International Left Handers Day is 13 August). Plus we have more summer podcasts this month. For level 1 we talk about The summer hols from our childhoods. For level 2 we try to remember what it was like to travel Before the internet and for level 3 we think you should enjoy the slow life this summer and travel on the Waterways. Listen and find out why canals are the place to be. There are more: have a look! If you are not already a member, one lucky winner in our monthly competition gets free pie membership!
