Hello again!
This podcast is a listening exercise. You will need a pen and paper while you listen. It's all about giving advice for someone who wants to visit the UK.
This type of dictation exercise is very useful because it can show you what sounds you find difficult to hear - and when it's hard to understand something while listening, it means that it's hard to be accurate when you're speaking or writing. Here's the worksheet and transcript, but please don't look at the speech until after you have finished listening.

This podcast is a listening task, and you'll find a worksheet and the transcript on this link here. Download it, and try to listen and do the tasks before you look at the transcript.
