ESL Podcast 347 – Writing a Postcard

This is a dialog about two people writing postcards to and sharing experiences with each other in their own journey.

Listening note:
1. I'm having the time of my life: it means you greatly enjoy something you have done.
2. We're off on ~: to be off means to ready to start to do something or go somewhere.
3. This is the life: to describe a situation that someone is very happy and think that it is one of a best experience in life.
4. Connection: when you are flying, you have to get onto another plane in order to get to a place where you want to go.
5. It has poured the entire time: in this case, it means to rain very heavily, a lot.
6. What a dump!: it is an expression when u go to a hotel that is bad and in bad condition.
7. Food poisoning: when you eat something bad, it causes you go to the bathroom a lot or to vomit.
8. Washout: it means a disaster, waste of time and it is not worth doing.

In the listening, I learned some expressions and phrases which can be use in writing a postcard. I think ESL Podcast provides various interesting topics and clear explanations, but the speed is too slow for people who want to sharpen their listening skills.
