Listen "Emergency Landing in Poland"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I set out for Riga on a budget trip east, chasing the thrill of cheap hostels and cut-price flights.But mid-air, the journey takes a sudden turn. Silence falls in the cabin, the tannoy crackles, and a passenger’s life hangs in the balance.This story is about courage in unexpected places, the fragility of travel, and the strange mix of fear, humour, and humanity that fills the space between take-off and landing.✨ Get this episode’s transcript: https://www.patreon.com/posts/138130818🧠 Today We Learn:Vocabulary: Movement & Action, Feelings & States, Travel & PlacesGrammar: Concessive Clauses with Inversion to show contrast, Cleft Sentences to split a sentence into two clauses to put focus on a particular word or idea, Multi-word Complex Compound Adjectives to combine several words into one long modifier before a noun.🐣 Too difficult?
