Hi there,
What’s with the gloom and doom today? 😀
Well, correct me if I’m wrong,
Jeff always tries “to thank” Lucy whenever he concludes in each podcasts.
Why?
Well, it’s because he “really thanks” Lucy for her scripts!
Likewise, I also try “to thank” ESL Podcast Team whenever I see these “Podcasts This Week” announcements.
Why?
Well, it’s because I “really thank” the Team for their new podcasts!
So much thanks indeed. 😉
Yup, Lucy,
Answering some questions on the blog sometimes seems to be far more effective than they’re addressed in the audio files.
Sometimes it is far more effective in the Pods of course.
But, Lucy,
Please, you don’t forget that we, the listeners, are also very raring to read your posts about “current affairs” that come into your mind.
With best wishes,
I was looking forward to this lesson..and I was right, it was about this Halloween celebration..
Hahaha..what a scary laughter Jeff..!! And that comment about your past girlfriend made me laugh out load and I wasn`t able to consentrate about the rest of it..have to listen it over again..
Your wonderful lessons and scripts are always interesting and funny, so I`m very grateful to all of you!
The Population bomb exploded with the loudest bang ever,this morning at 7 Am locally:).the irony is it happened exactly on Halloween day which is today:)
The Earth has officially housed 7000000000 people,people:)(I mean folks)
The earth encroachment :)( good one,funny,my coinage,just made up)has raised some concerned. But, let’s cool off a bit.
Dear folks in U.S.
What is with the freak October Storm?
It is totally unseasonal.
Folks,
A furiously strong storm has rampaged a part of U.S and has damaged houses ,has knocked down trees ,and on top of that has induced power outage in the religion.
The storm has hit NewYork and some other cities.
Hope there hasn’t been any casualties.
Don’t panic guys
Our folks in L.A. Are ok. No storm over there
I didn’t mean to be the berear of sad tidings. I just reported today’s flash news.
Be well and prosper ,
