Polar bears - listening lesson 1

Level: Upper intermediate / B2

It is difficult to find time to do some listening, but it is an important skill.

The BBC Learning English site has a lot of listening material. They are good because they are short and easy to use. You can listen on-line or download the listening and print the text.
