Podcasts for listening practice

A colleague of mine has just found these podcasts on a British Council site. They're similar to the ones on this blog. They come from a site called Learn English Professionals so you might find some of them a bit too business and work orientated.

I haven't looked at them in detail but they all seem to have the script + some exercises for you to do. Please comment here if you try out the 'listening' especially if you've got any recommendations.

MY LUCKIEST MOMENT LATELY...

I don't need to search deep inside my memories to find a lucky moment in my life. In fact, a month ago I'd an exam, it wasn't much important but I needed to pass it anyway. I hadn't study enough and I was almost sure I was going to fail it.

However, the day before the exam a friend of mine in an upper year told me the questions of the exam they'd done the year before. I flicked through them not giving much importance because I couldn't imagine that, the of course brilliant but also lazy teacher wasn't going to change the exam and it was going to be the same as the year before.

Well, so it happened and at that moment I felt like the luckiest person in the world. Now I am sure I'm going to pass the exam, think so!

Hot _____for trees?Hot air for a cool______?
Cold _______for change?
