Welcome to Easy stories in English, the podcast that will take your English from ok to good and from good to great.
I am Ariel Goodbody, your host for this show.
Today's story is for pre intermediate learners.
The name of the story is the legend of Lake Toba.
You can find a transcript of the episode@easystoriesinenglish.com lake that's easystoriesinenglish.com Lake l a k E.
This contains the full story as well as my conversation before it so the weather for the last, I don't know, month has just been cold, cold, cold and cloudy, cloudy, cloudy.
We have had very little sunlight a few days.
We did have frost.
Frost is when it gets very icy in the morning and there is ice all over the ground.
And I have to be very careful because I live next to a big hill and I walk down the hill to go to work so when it's icy I can fall over.
Actually, the other day I fell over when I was walking into town and there were some other people behind me and I thought they were going to laugh at me, but actually they said, oh no, are you okay?
So I felt okay about it.
When you fall over, you just have to laugh at yourself.
That's what I do now.
It took me a long time to be able to laugh at myself, but it's a much better way.
Speaking of cold, I have a slight cold myself, so I have had a bit of sneezing and so on recently.
Sneezing is when you go ah, chew.
Hopefully you can't hear the cold in my voice too much.
But anyway, I just want summer.
I want summer right now.
