Podcast 180 The Octopus's Garden B1 B2 (Part 2)

Hello, dear listeners!

This is part 2 of my story, The Octopus's Garden, which I'm dedicating to the children of Gaza and my brother's HandsUp Project team that has been working with Palestinian children to help them have a voice in the world by producing plays in English online. You can find out more about the HandsUp  Project here... (https://www.handsupproject.org/)

Most of the language of this story is B1 with some B2 words added. You can find the audioscript at https://www.practisingenglish.com/podcast-180.htm The B2 words mentioned in the introduction are shown below.

It smashed(b2), silently, into pieces on the floor. 

A dreadful(b2) feeling of guilt(b2) rushed(b2) into her head.

Dunya bent down(b2) and picked up two of the larger pieces of broken glass.

They assumed(b2) Dunya could not hear their conversation, but now she could hear perfectly(b2) clearly. 

‘He’s not a rat,’ Ali assured(b2) her. ‘He’s a real mouse. 

She just collapsed(b2) from tiredness(b2) and hunger(b2).
