Everyday English with David

People often enjoy going to crowded places like cities and concerts. Why do they do this?

Today Nick discuses this question to give you some ideas for the IELTS test

IELTS with Nick - World Knowledge 

Why do people enjoy going to crowded places?

“都dōu”means “both/all”. The people or objects included are out before “都”.
For example：

tā men dōu xǐ huɑn hē chá 。 
他们都喜欢喝茶。

wǒ men dōu shì xué shenɡ 。 
我们都是学生。

每měi……都dōu……
In a sentence that contains the term “每”(every), usually “都” has to be inserted further along in the sentence, immediately in front of the verb.

tā měi tiān wǎn shɑnɡ dōu yù xí kè wén 。 
他每天晚上都预习课文。

wǒ měi jié kè dōu lái 。 
我每节课都来。

měi ɡè rén wǒ dōu rèn shí 。 
每个人我都认识。

Episode 25. 短い言い方

In todays episode I would like to discuss the importance of avoiding gossip, and why you shouldn't spread any sent to you. 

Let's have a chat (Discussions In English) 

Episode 4 : 5 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Gossip! 

Saudi Arabia scored a big win in its campaign to attract major sports events to the kingdom when it was formally named as the 2034 men's soccer World Cup host on December 11.

For the last year, there hasn't been too much doubt that Saudi Arabia would be confirmed as host, as the only other contender — Australia — had withdrawn from the contest to host the World Cup.

Awarding the tournament to Saudi Arabia has been seen as controversial by some soccer observers.

That's mostly because of the country's human rights record. Some have said that Saudi Arabia is using sports to divert attention from social or environmental problems, something that's known as sportswashing.

Saudi Arabia has denied this is the case.

The World Cup may be a number of years away but there are a lot of questions that need to be answered about the tournament, from where games will be played to how workers' rights will be protected.

Saudi Arabia aims to host all 104 games, though there has been speculation that some games could be played in neighboring or nearby countries.

Currently, 15 stadiums have been proposed, although eight are still on paper. They include a 92,000-seat venue planned in Riyadh and another near the capital that's set to be on top of a 200-meter cliff.

The timing may also be an issue. The tournament may have to be moved from the traditional period of June and July to the cooler months of November and December.

This also happened for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, although it wasn't a move that was popular among European soccer clubs, who had their domestic seasons interrupted.

The question of workers' rights was also discussed before and during the competition in Qatar. Saudi Arabia has promised to reform and enforce labor laws, and fully respect migrant workers, but some human rights groups are skeptical.

In the meantime, there are still World Cups in 2026 and 2030 to think about!
