Hello, How do I get the listening? Best regards, Veronique
Hi Veronique The listening for this activity is the video - you need to click on the video above and you will a reading of 'Belfast'. Hope that helps, Cath TE Team
sorry, I am probably very dumb, but I can't find the video anywhere? regards, Veronique
Not at all! You should see an embedded video just below the image of the map of Belfast - if you click on the play icon, the video should play. If you can't see the embedded video, you might need to update your web browser, or try using a different web browser. Please let us know if you are still having problems. Best wishes, Cath
thanks, but I can't update my browser as it is the computer from work. Is there any other way of getting the video? Regards, Veronique
Hi again Veronique Our videos are only available for watching from the site, and can't be downloaded unfortunately. Can you see the embedded video on the page? It is that it won't play or is it not there at all? Thanks, Cath
I have it on my computer at home but not on the school computer and , as you said, I couldn't download it...It is not there at all. Regards, Véronique
Hi Veronique So it sounds like it is an issue with the browser on your school computer. Other than updating or changing your internet browser, I am not sure that you will be able to access the video if the browser does not support it. Sorry about that. Best wishes, Cath

Was Eunice Yeats English or Irish?

I cannot find him on Wikipedia.

Thank you,
