Listening to the news in English is a must for language learning, even if this means news such as the one I have prepared for this listening activity.

The news is full of events related to natural and not so natural disasters and nearly all of them are thanks to the effect of humans on nature which has accelerated global warming although many people think that this is a natural process. But what do you think?

Here you have a multiple choice activity that focuses on many of the words that we have seen in last week’s class.
