Listen "How Do Rollercoasters Work?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I go to one of Spain’s biggest theme parks for my birthday.Between the screams, the speed, and the silence before each drop, I start to wonder how these machines really work.Why don’t they fall off the track? Why do they feel so scary but stay so safe?It’s a story about design, fear, trust, and how we find excitement in things that could never actually hurt us.✨ EPISODE TRANSCRIPT ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/posts/140895765🧠 Today We Learn:Vocabulary: Theme Parks & Rollercoasters, Engineering & Mechanics, Sensations & EmotionsGrammar: Passive Voice, Causatives (to have / get something done), Adverbial Clauses of Contrast😎 Too easy?
