listening

It was a joy to snatch some brief respite, and find himself in the rectory drawing–room. Listening here was as pleasant as talking; just to watch was pleasant. The young priests who lived here wore cassocks and birettas; their faces were fine and mild, yet really strong, like the rector's face; and in their intercourse with him and his wife they seemed to be brothers.

OK, students, today we're going to do a couple of listenings about the environment, then a reading about crime.

You can improve your listening well by watching English-language films.
