Series 6/20: English – How to ask

I’m getting being able to catch English. Because I’ve watched movie in English.

Please go to my podcast if you would like to listen to a children's story called Grandpa Farouks Garden. I hope you enjoy it!

#english Did you know that the British love to use the word “sorry”? We use it in so many circumstances. Sorry - to apologise “I’m sorry for doing that” Sorry - to move around “Sorry, can I sit here?” Sorry - asking a question “Sorry, do you have the time?” Sorry - to correct someone “Oh, sorry, I think the answer is 4” I am sure there are other examples I have missed. But the fact is, when you’re in the UK please remember the word sorry!

Today was my Russian class. The verb conjugations are difficult.

Collocations: Make, Do, Take, Have Choose the verb that fits.

It rained this morning. Recently, it has been raining a lot, and the weather has not been very good. After school today, I have work. I’m happy because many of my favorite coworkers will be there today.

One of the things I enjoy about British history is that some of the most interesting moments aren’t the ones people usually learn at school. In 1952, a strange weather event changed London. For several days, a thick layer of fog covered the city. But this wasn’t normal fog — it mixed with smoke from homes, factories, and traffic to create what became known as the Great Smog. People could barely see in front of them. Buses stopped, events were cancelled, and daily life became difficult across the city. The event led to major changes in air pollution laws and helped improve air quality in the years that followed. History isn’t always made by battles or famous people - sometimes a few unexpected days can leave a lasting mark. What’s a historical event from your country you think more people should know about?
