Episode Details

Jenny is looking for a relationship. Will she ever find somebody suitable?  Today's B1 story comes with a test. The story contains around 60 B1 words, which are useful for B1-level English study, and some of them are not easy to learn as they are not very intuitive (false friends).

I include below a list of thes B1 words in the order they appear in the story:

disappointed
allow
attempted
advertising
keen to
suitable
refused
advised
abroad
encouraged
advice
explored
regions
searching
suitable
introduced
handsome
unable
fall in love
refused
relationship
unless
made contact
support
disappointment
complained
average
annoying
silly
none of
vegetarian

involved
persuaded
once more
successful
partners
although
completely
convinced
arranged
the following day
partner
vegetarian
keen on
magnificent
match
amazed
in fact
handed (to)
anxious

Listen to these words in the story and look for the meaning of those you don't know.
There is then a test on some of them. You can find the answers to the test at my website:
