Brittany and her nephew are excited because it`s summer for them, but please remember that it is not summer for everybody. The VivaLing English podcast has listeners all over the world. We know that, if you are listening to this in Namibia, Argentina, Chile or New Zealand, it`s not the summer for you. It`s the winter, but we haven`t forgotten you. Don`t forget. You can either listen to this now and look forward to the summer or wait until December and listen to it again when it`s summer for you and winter for our listeners in the north.
It’s summer, summer, summer, summertime. Are you dancing because I’m dancing. I don’t know about you, but summer is my absolute favourite season. For my nephew, it is his favourite holiday because there’s no school. This summer we’re going on vacation. So many people travel to new places during their summer vacation. Some spend time at the beach, play sports, garden and even grill food outside.
Whatever you do or wherever you go this summer, you can have time for relaxation and fun.
At the end of the podcast, you will have to answer the question: Where is summer the most favoured season, in America or in Europe?
Today, we’re going to hear three conversations based on different activities that we do during our summer holiday. First, we’re going to the beach, then shopping, and lastly eating some great food.

I hope you enjoy every summer that you can because it seems like summer passes us by so quickly. Wherever you go or whatever you do, always remember to live for the sunshine, swim in the sea because friends, sun, sand and sea sound like summer to me. Give me a million summers, and I could never get tired of them. Whatever you do, remember to make lots of memories by taking lots of pictures. Bye-bye! Until next time.
