B1 English Listening Practice: HOW I SPEND MY MONEY

Life is expensive! Listen to Veronica talk about her financial situation. This listening is three minutes and includes comprehension questions, speaking questions, a transcript, vocabulary, and a free PDF.

I hope you find it useful! The link is in the comments. 😀👇

I will also post another B1 listening exercise on Monday. Keep checking my page for new materials! I plan to be very productive between now and the middle of July.

When I was a kid, I watched a lot of cartoons. One of those cartoons was He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Honestly, He-Man was never my favourite show or character. I watched the show because it was on TV, and it had memorable music, characters, and environments.

This week, I went to the theatre to check out the Masters of the Universe movie. I had a really good time with it! The action was great, the visuals were fantastic, and Adam's journey during the movie was satisfying. The villain, Skeletor, was easily the best part of the movie, though. Every time he was on screen, he chewed up the scenery.

Anyway, if you're looking for a fun (and funny) space fantasy adventure, check out Masters of the Universe!

Vocabulary

chew up the scenery = take all of the audience's attention because of a performance; force you to pay attention and ignore everyone else on the screen because the performance grabs your attention

Sorry that I haven’t been as present on Facebook lately. I’ve been preparing and administering exams at one of my teaching jobs, and I’ve also been entertaining some visitors. Things should be “back to normal” by Wednesday of next week.

Until then, here is another picture of me in Quebec City from Tuesday!

Oh, and there will be a new EngVid lesson on my YouTube channel very soon. Stay tuned!

Have a good weekend, everyone! And enjoy the World Cup! Go Canada! 🎉

Today, I spent the day in Quebec City. It’s a beautiful place with a lot of history, not to mention a lot of incredible architecture. It’s probably the most European city in Canada. If you’re ever in Quebec, check out its capital and enjoy the sights, sounds, and flavours!
