Hey! Is your English intermediate, advanced? Let's find out today with a fun test with
the RealLife English podcast. So grab a notebook or piece of paper let's get started.
So in this episode Cassé and Izzy are discussing how to implement good habits in your life.
For this first part you will listen to three extracts. And you need to choose the best option:
a, b or c to answer the questions. Are you ready?
Izzy says there's too much going on these days that end up distracting us
from things that we really want to do. A synonym for distract
is divert. If something diverts your attention, it distracts you.
So Cassé says "they don't even know why they started the habit in the first place,
they don't know what their goal actually is. Or maybe they've
forgotten." Cassé is using the example of going to the gym to illustrate that point.
Izzy says "the very first thing you do if you want to work out every day
would be just putting on your shoes every day, even if you don't work out. It seems crazy,
like a crazy idea, but that's the idea of the micro habits."
So how is that first part? Let's do a different type of exercise now. But before we continue, if
you are tired of feeling like a lost and insecure English learner that will never speak fluently and
understand fast English, then be sure to subscribe to our channel for new videos every week that will
help you to become the confident natural English speaker that you have always dreamed to be.
So in this part you have to complete the sentences
with the missing information that you hear on the recording. You can use one,
two or even three words in your answers. Make sure that you write exactly what you hear.
The word Satisfying is the adjective form of the noun Satisfaction. If something is satisfying,
it makes you feel happy and content. Resistance is the noun form of the verb To Resist. If there is
resistance to doing something, it's not so easy to do it. Finally, Applicable is the adjective
form of the verb To Apply. If something applies to a situation, it is relevant to that situation.
