Here’s a new listening activity for low Intermediate levels. That is from a B1 to a B2.1 It is related to the topic of natural disasters.

I upgraded this activity to place in on the new plugin that I’m using now, and I now realise that here in Spain we have a lot to say about the great loss that many suffered during 2021 in the Canary Islands. I will try to post a listening activity about this in the future.
