Monthly news from podcastsinenglish.com Dear Teacher To be honest we are rather happy that August is over. It was so very hot and like many other European countries we had loads of forest fires. In fact this summer Portugal had the largest fire since records here began. Now there has been a bit of welcome rain and we look forward to the rest of the year. However, September means Back to school for many! Did we enjoy our schooldays? Listen to this level 1 podcast and find out. Another reason to be happy about September is that the football season has returned. Richard is very happy! We have a number of football podcasts to celebrate this: Back of the net is full of football jargon, there is some great vocabulary for footie fans! United or city? also for level 2, talks about football clubs and their names. Plus, coinciding with Colour Blindness Awareness Day, September 6, we have Red or green? This level 3 podcast looks at the link between colour blindness and football. It's very interesting. All of the above podcasts can be found in the sidebar of the level pages. There are lots more there! Plus, for London Fashion Week, there are loads of podcasts and videos on the theme of fashion and clothes. Have a look!
