These are the dog expressions I mention today:
Dog Eat Dog
Raining cats and dogs
Teach an old dog new tricks


And these are the B1 and B2 expressions I explain, and that you will hear in the story:

B1
It didn’t look like they were expecting me.
They were definitely up to something.
He walked in and I went after him. I glanced around.
Rocky close on my heels. Somehow, I had to get rid of him.
Winning that dog food would be a dream come true.

B2
‘Weather seems to be getting worse and worse, this winter.'
The sight of those tins brought back fond memories
‘It was raining cats and dogs yesterday. Not to mention the cold. A dog can’t get warm at night.’
I wasn’t about to make a fool of myself.
I was under the impression something was going on.
‘Nice-looking collar,’ said Bozo. ‘Fair enough. You’re in.’
