James looked over his shoulder. He saw something running toward him very fast. His heart started beating rapidly. He thought it was a person, but when he turned to face them, he realized that it wasn’t a person. It was a large black dog. The dog was getting closer and closer, but it wasn’t barking at him. In fact, the dog looked happy. Then he saw why the dog was running. There was a tennis ball bouncing and rolling toward him and the dog was chasing it.

James looked up and saw a woman about one hundred yards away from him. She was short and blonde. The dog grabbed the ball with his mouth and started running back toward her.

“Good boy!” she said.

“That’s a beautiful dog you have,” James said to her.

“Thanks! Actually, he’s not my dog. I’m just watching him for a friend this weekend.” she replied.

“Oh, I see,” said James. “Well, how did your friend get you to dog-sit for them?” James asked.

“That’s actually along story,” she answered with a smile.

James liked her smile and he had time to spare. He walked casually toward her and the dog. 

“I’ve got time. What’s the story?” James asked. “My name’s James, by the way.”

“Jennifer. Nice to meet you. Well, it actually started a few months ago when I was hanging out with my friend…” she said.

Well, that’s the end of the story for this episode. Tune in to the next episode to hear more about what happens with Jennifer and James. Be sure to write down any new vocabulary and listen again to improve your comprehension. See you next time!

EP 4. Los 3 errores mas comunes en español para extranjeros

Working from home and avoiding the journey to and from the office is saving many of us at least an hour every day, according to a 2023 study.

But we're not always using that saved time for ourselves — we're actually spending a lot of that time working.

The US-based National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) did a survey that looked at how workers in 27 countries used their time when working from home.

On average, the daily time saved by working from home was found to be 72 minutes.

Workers in China saved 102 minutes per day, while in Japan it was 100 minutes, and in India it was 99.

But the study also found that, on average, 40% of that saved time was spent working — either on the worker's main job or on an additional one.

Workers in Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan said they used more than half of their saved time to work.

So what happened to the rest of that extra time?

According to the study, an average of 34% was used as leisure time — with people in Germany and Austria using almost half of their extra time for leisure.

And 11% — about eight minutes per day — was spent looking after children or other family members.

The NBER said children had gotten a better deal with parents working from home — but that the big winners were employers, who got extra work time from their employees.
