You may remember when you were a kid and wanted to become bigger to make your dreams come true. Now that you are an adult, maybe you want to stay younger for ever or, why not, turn the time back to be younger and live the good old times again. Being a child, a teenage, an adult or an elderly always comes with their pains and their glory. That's why in this episode we'll discuss growing up and growing older.

Do you think being an adult is better than being a child? To say you agree or disagree with this idea, we'll help you with some common forms used in conversational English to express so. We'll also go on a journey through the stages of life and explore some of the things they come with. Our idioms for this episode will remind us of the good and bad things of growing up with some hilarious expressions. Talking about our Top 5, do you think our invited artists are happy or unhappy about growing older? We'll also listen to people talking about life stages and some advice to use English correctly when talking about age. All this and more will be coming in this nostalgic episode!

No matter how old you are, for sure you can contribute with your answers to these questions as you listen to the show:

• What are the dearest memories of your childhood?
• Was your teenage a difficult time of your life? What do you remember most of it?
• How do you feel about your adult life? Is it what you expected from it?
• How do you see yourself in 30 years?
• What piece of advice would you give to younger people?
