Audio: Deciding what NOT to pack

(A2), B1, B2

When you go away on holiday, do you often find that you pack too much? What sort of things do you take with you that you never or rarely need?  In this activity from the elllo site, you will hear Jeff talking about six things he wouldn't pack if he was a traveller. Audio time: 2 minutes 54 seconds. Activity time: 10 to 30 minutes.


Task:  1 Listen to the audio without looking at the script. What six things does he recommend NOT taking with you when you travel? What reasons does he give? Listen again if necessary

2 Read the audio script and listen again to check your answers. If you click on the expressions in blue, you can hear a definition and some other examples in context.
