Hi Alexis

Thanks for your comment - there was an issue with the audio player - you should be able to click on the audio in the downloads now to listen to the recording.

Hope you enjoy the lesson,

Hello, Depending on the computer (and keyboard) you are using, you can press the Shift key and F10. This will make the menu that appears when you right click pop up. Hope that helps, Cath

Hi Pavan Thanks for your comment - all the resources on our site are free for you to use in class with your students. Just click on the links to open the files, and then you can save them on your computer. I hope you find the resources useful, Cath TE Team

Hi Natalia, The MP3 file in the grey / black bar beneath where it says 'Audio' - if you click on it, it should play. If it doesn't appear, can you try using a different web browser? Let me know if you are still having problems. Thanks Cath TE Team
