學英文不用背單字 EP-15 CEFR A2 Getting Ready for Summer

Getting Ready for Summer
Theme: Swimming, Hobbies, and Summer Weather.
Focus: "Likes/Dislikes," "Can/Can't," and sports vocabulary.

"Hi students! Welcome back. Today, I want to talk about my favorite season. Can you guess what it is? It is not winter... it is not fall... it is summer!

I love summer because I love the water. When it is 35 degrees outside in Taiwan, what do you do? I go to the swimming pool! Are you a good swimmer? I am... okay. I am not a professional, but I can swim across the pool.

My two boys are learning to swim right now. Every Saturday, we go to the pool. My oldest son is like a fish. He loves to dive under the water. But my youngest son is a little bit nervous. He says, 'Daddy, the water is too big!' I tell him, 'Don't worry, you have your life jacket and your goggles.' Do you wear goggles when you swim? I think goggles are very important so your eyes don't get red.

After swimming, we always eat something cold. My favorite summer snack is shaved ice with mango. Mangoes in Taiwan are the best in the world! They are sweet and yellow and delicious.

This summer, I want to learn a new hobby, too. Maybe I will learn how to surf, or maybe I will just learn how to make better iced coffee at home. What is your favorite summer activity? Do you like to go to the park, or do you like to stay inside with the air conditioner?

Summer is still a few months away, but I am already dreaming about the blue water and the cold mango ice. Let’s get ready for the heat together!"

What is 學英文不用背單字 Learn By Listening?

Stop memorizing, start listening! Welcome to Learn By Listening, the English podcast designed specifically for young learners who want to understand English naturally. We believe that children learn best through stories, not word lists.

In each episode, we filled stories with mystery, humor, and fun characters. Whether it’s meeting a "tall ghost" who is actually just Grandpa, or traveling to a sunny day in Nara with a magic kimono, our stories use simple language that students can actually follow.

What makes us different?

Context over Lists: We use vocabulary from the standard curriculum (like family, feelings, and weather) but put them into exciting plots.

Perfect for ESL: Spoken clearly and at a pace that helps non-native speakers gain confidence.

Short & Sweet: Every episode is under 5 minutes—perfect for a morning listen or a bedtime story.

Join us and discover that you don't need to memorize words to speak English—you just need to listen!

別再死背單字了，聽故事才是王道！

歡迎來到《學英文不用背單字》，這是一個專為國小及國中 ESL 學習者設計的英文聽力廣播。我們深信：孩子學英文不該靠枯燥的單字表，而是要透過有趣的故事情境。

在每一集短短 5 分鐘的節目中，我們會帶領孩子進入不同的冒險世界。從「長得像鬼的神祕高個子」（其實是爸爸！），到靠著「魔幻和服」變換天氣，我們將課本裡的單字（如家庭成員、心情感受、天氣等）轉化成好玩的情節。

我們的特色：

情境學習： 拒絕死背！在故事中自然理解單字用法。

難易適中： 專為英語初學者設計，語速清晰流暢，建立孩子的聽力自信。

輕鬆無負擔： 每集不到 5 分鐘，隨時隨地都能練習。

跟著我們一起聽故事，你會發現：原來學英文可以這麼簡單、這麼好玩！
