Read this article about the history and development of the insurance business and then try the activities which follow to check your general and more specific comprehension and develop your vocabulary of insurance terms.

With the podcast interview you can check your general comprehension with our listening for gist activity.  Then check you understand the more detailed information  and finally, make sure you have learned some key vocabulary.
