069 - 5-Minute English: Summer in the U...

Shana Thompson
About this episode

Hi Everyone! In today's episode, I talk about Summer in the US. For many Americans, summertime brings back a sense of nostalgia. Today, we'll talk about the common activities kids do outdoors during the summer months, how families spend summer break (road trips!) and about temperature.

Like most 5-Minute Episodes, the listening is short and more challenging. You might need to listen to an episode at least three times in order to fully comprehend it. There are 40+ vocabulary words and phrases in this lesson.

Mentioned in this episode:  

This episode is part of Season 2.  By purchasing Season 2, you'll be able to access the full transcript for this episode as well as the entire 5-Minute English course at a discount.

Season 2  contains bonus material for episodes 051 - 100. Learn more.
