from The Bardwell Road Centre Podcast · host Geoff Taylor

Presenters: Estel and Micky Topic: Countries and cities In this show, adult English language students in GO3 class talk about their countries and cities. Micky from Hong Kong and Estel from Spain chose the topic and prepared the questions (with the teacher's help). They introduce the show and interview their classmates. Micky also answered the questions. We hear interviews with: Ana (Spain) Gabriella (Italy) Micky (Hong Kong) Interview questions (If you are listening in class, you could ask a partner the interview questions, then choose one or more of the speakers and note their answers.) YOUR COUNTRY AND CITY Where are you from? How far is your country from England? Do you know what the population of your country is, more or less? Is it easy for people to buy a house in your country? Is accommodation cheaper or more expensive? What are some traditional dishes in your country? (e.g. paella, spaghetti bolognese) What's your favourite (national) dish? Are restaurants more expensive or cheaper than England? Describe your favourite music from your country. How is it different from music in England? Can you tell me about your language? How similar is it to English? Can you give any examples of superstitions in your country? What is the thing that you miss most from your country? Who is the leader of your country? Do you support him/her? If I go to your country, do you have any recommendations for places I must see or visit? How do people spend the weekend in your country? This show was recorded in class, on group teacher, Geoff's, Apple MacBook Pro computer with the program Garageband. The Garageband jingle used is Dewdrops. After editing in Garageband and Audacity (for noise removal and deletion of unnecessary silence), the audio volume was levelled using the program Levelator (www.gigavox.com/levelator), and the file was converted to MP3 format. The photo was edited in Pixelmator. This show was produced at the Bardwell Road Adult Centre, St Clare's, Oxford, UK.
