Hello and good morning! Well, we're off to a good start in the south this week, as most of the rain from the weekend has disappeared – just a few patches of cloud and maybe some showers here on the east coast. They'll all clear up by lunchtime, though. Over the next day or so, London and the area around Kent can expect a couple of isolated showers, but mostly dry through until Thursday.
It's not such good news for the north-west this week, I'm afraid: more wet weather, and not a lot of sunshine. Some of today's showers will be heavy – and even thundery in Manchester and across the Pennines. Leeds will escape the thunderstorms, with drizzle and light rain only throughout the rest of the day and tonight.
Elsewhere it becomes dry today, but with some foggy patches towards Wales. In England, tomorrow morning will see a dry, bright start in most places, with high temperatures throughout the week. We might see one or two thunderstorms appearing as the week goes on, with temperatures everywhere at 29 to 30 degrees.
By the weekend, unfortunately, the dry weather will make way for mostly cloudy skies and rain. The rain will move from Scotland, down towards the north and reach the south coast by Saturday afternoon. Temperatures, at least, will stay mostly warm at around 21 degrees for the weekend. It might feel like a nice change from the high twenties and early thirties we'll see in the week. That's all from me until tomorrow. Enjoy the mini-heatwave while you can!
This episode is hard to hear
I used to enjoy winter at my young age only because of its freezing weather but now I prefer summer the most. Summer, especially from March to May is the best for me. As I am a cyclist I have to get up very early and go for cycle with my team. That is the main reason why I love summer the most because in winter it's really heard to get up early and also difficult to get ready since the weather is too cold. There are many other reasons why I love summer but let's break off this here.
What type of climate do you like the most?
I prefer warm weather because it is the climate that most predominates in my city. In addition, I must carry out my work activities on the street.
I prefer cloudy and rainy weather because I love the vibes when I am home, listening to the rain and watching a movie. It's such a great feeling.
I also prefer to walking in light rain, It's one of the best feelings
The weather I like the most is a sunny day, but I either like rainy and snowy days, especially when I don't need to go to work and stay with my family, and read or study something in the cozy home, or eat hot pot with my family, or watch movie with my family meanwhile eat snack and listing the sound of the raining. Anyway, that's very relaxing and enjoyable.
I'm still lost from means of the words so is must be understanding all the records? Because maybe back to the level A2. please any person replying me...
Hello omarkhadr,
I suggest experimenting with a range of materials from A2 to B1 to see what suits you best. Perhaps this podcast series will be good for you:

Try starting from season 3 and see what you think.

First of all, hello. If you don't understand the words, you can make progress at level a2 and move on to b1-b2. It seemed complicated to me when I first listened to it, but if you make it a habit, it will be easier for you to understand the words. If you want to be good at listening, you need to focus on the sounds rather than distinguishing and understanding every word. good luck🍀🍀 thanks).
I think it depends on your own accuracy rate. If I were you, I would go back to previous level If I'd missed a lot.
I would prefer the cloudy and rainy weather, because I love the cold and the vibes related to it and also I enjoy the rain.
