I didn’t know that animal skins were “hides”, and “scarce” was an unknown word to me, so thank you for the knowledge!
Glad it was useful 🙂

Hi, Liz!
This is very useful, very helpful indeed! Appreciate you a lot!
I’m glad it’s useful. I’ll make more of these lessons for you all 🙂
Dear Mrs Liz,
I would like to thank you wholeheartedly, for all your efforts to help students facing the IELTS exam.
In particular, I struggle to catch paraphrased word in listening, so this is a very useful exercise. I caught 6 out of 7 paraphrased words. On the second time, I also caught the last missing one that was “obtained”.
As you pointed out in the past, we students need to acquire a wide vocabulary for the listening test. For example, I learned a lot of new vocabulary reading the Harry Potter’s saga pleasantly.
Thanks again.
Antonio
Thanks for your message. I’m glad it’s a useful lesson 🙂 It’s funny you mention the Harry Potter stories – I just started reading Harry Potter in Swedish – the sentences are not complicated so it’s an easy, interesting read in a foreign language – of course it helps to know the story 🙂
