The Environment - The three Rs - Recycle

JACK RADFORD
About this episode
In this week's Premier Skills English Podcast, Rich, Rowan and Jack are tidying up after a party. The language focus is on words and phrases we can use to talk about recycling. In our task, we want you to tell us the 'life journey' of an item in your house. Don't forget to listen to the end of the podcast because we have a new football phrase for you to guess.
