Come again? - Listening activities

Come again? é nossa nova sessão de posts aqui do TechZone. São atividades propostas para melhorar sua habilidade autitiva na língua inglesa. A maioria delas são tiradas de links que já estão disponíveis para você na página de nome "Listening".

Come again é uma expressão idiomática que quer dizer em nosso lindo português brasileiro "como é que é?" ou em inglês "can you repeat what you've just said?"
 
Today we will listen to audio activities talking about weather forecast. We are in March and here in Manaus it has been raining a lot, right? What can you tell about weather in your hometown or country? What seasonal changes do people in your hometown experience throughout the year? Are there four basic seasons (i.e., winter, spring, summer, and fall)? Is it one season all year around? Do you have a typhoon, hurricane, or rainy season? 

Click the link below and do the activity we suggest today. It will be worth it! While there doing the activity, find the meaning for the idioms bellow:
  • "fair-weather friend" = ?   
"He's just a fair-weather friend, so when things become difficult, don't expect him to be around to help you."
  •  "under the weather" = ?
"My mom has been a little under the weather for the past few days." 


Write to us and let us know if you found the idioms.
