Learning English Podcast - Climate Change, Volcanic Activity

From the creator

On today's podcast, Ashley Thompson and Dan Novak host the show. Ashley tells listeners what they will hear. First, Gena Bennett has a story about rainy weather in Africa. A new international study has found that recent harmful rains hitting East Africa were made worse by a mix of climate change and fast economic growth in cities. An experts said the United Nations needs to pay for climate disaster damage in African countries. Then Bryan Lynn has a report on new discoveries about Venus. New examinations of data from Venus show the planet is more volcanically active than previously thought. The latest research builds on past evidence suggesting ongoing volcanic activity in other areas of the planet. Following the report, Ashley and Bryan have a discussion about what scientists think the new discovery tells us about the planet Venus. On Lesson of the Day, Andrew Smith and Jill Robbins talk about what it means to make resolutions and what an audition is. They use scenes from Let's Learn English to teach the ideas in a funny way. Anna tries to get a part in a local play and meets success in a way. Finally, Ashley looks ahead to tomorrow’s podcast. Then, Ashley and Dan sign off.
