Today’s  news in slow English is all about the future of living, maybe not for  us but for our children. It’s not the headline news in the UK, that’s  all about inflation, cost of living, who will run our country, which is  all a little boring. So I’ve chosen a news story, off the beaten path,  and it’s packed with interesting English phrases and vocabulary that is fun and interesting to know. If you like books or films about science fiction, then you’ll like this.

I need your help to keep on producing excellent English language lessons. If you enjoy what we do here and don’t want to buy one of our courses, you can still help us by donating a small amount.

So  I’m back from France, it was lovely. The journey was horrible, with  delays and lots of unforeseen problems, but it was worth it. I hope you  found and listened to a podcast lesson from the many available. So let’s get started and keep on improving your English language skills.

I  think most of us have a pretty clear idea of what home is and the type  of building we will live in. For most of us, it will be a house or a  flat in a block of flats in a village, town or city. This is the way  it’s been since the beginning. So what would you think about an  alternative way of people living together? I can’t even imagine  something different. The thought is so alien to me. So the news article  I’ve used as the basis of today’s English lesson is definitely  interesting and definitely thought provoking.
