Learning vocabulary - Get on your bike

JACK RADFORD
About this episode
In this week's Premier Skills English Podcast, Rich is inspired by Rowan who cycles to work every morning. Jack's less enthusiastic. The language focus is on words and phrases to talk about health & fitness, bikes and the environment. In this week's task, we want you to tell us why it's good to get on your bike. Don't forget to listen to the end of the podcast because we have a new football phrase for you to guess.
