PLANNING A TRIP (Pre-intermediate)

I've seen that some of you had lots of problems when listening to the video about hotel desk clerks...so, if you found that one too challenging, try with this new one.
It's much easier, and with it, you can revise superlatives and some vocabulary we saw in class about how to plan a trip before going on holidays.

TIPS FOR PHONE CONVERSATIONS (Intermediate)

Listen to this guy in these two videos. Can you tell me what he is advising us to do and not to do? In the first video, he mentions his website, where you can see an actual example of what he is trying to show. Click here for a quick access to it. You might find some vocabulary you don't know like 'weapon', 'whole', 'long-term', 'confidence' or 'sarcasm.'
About the second video, some of the words are the following: spice up, set up a date, come up, plain, crack up, flirtatious, accomplish.
It might be the first time you hear some of these words but try to get their meaning by listening to the videos first, before looking them up. If you see them in a context, you will understand.
Do you agree with him?
Are they good pieces of advice? Be ready to comment this in class next day or... post a comment here!
