Welcome to English as a Second Language Podcast number 1,287 – Using Adapters and Converters.
This is English as a Second Language Podcast episode 1,287. I’m your host, Dr. Jeff McQuillan, coming to you from the Center for Educational Development in beautiful Los Angeles, California.
This episode is a dialogue between Ben and Nicola about being able to plug in or use your electronic devices when you’re in another country or when you’re traveling. Let’s get started.
Ben: Wait! Don’t plug that into the socket. You’ll fry that old hair dryer.
Nicola: I can’t, anyway. This plug has two prongs and that socket is designed for three prongs.
Ben: That’s why I brought these adapters and this combination converter and transformer. Our devices will either not work or be ruined if we try plugging them directly into those outlets.
