I advise you to do as much oral comprehension as you can.
Go to the label on the right and choose one of the documents, any document, in the links given.
Listen to it several times. Note the link and send me a report. Thank you.
And listen to that video:
Internet is a wondrous tool and I use it, (ain't I a fool?)for you dear pupils, who wish to speak the Queen's English. Well, maybe not but at least, if asked whether you speak English or not, don't say: "I do not!"

Irish humour
My sister lives in Ireland. Her husband is not confined yet. (today is March 21st)
Schools have been closed for some time in Ireland but will be closed from now on in the UK.
Anyway, here is what she just sent me. She was sure I would crack out laughing.
Actually, it made me cry with laughter. Hope you will laugh too.
Take care kids and comment and work a little, please. Byeee
EMPLOYEE NOTICE
Due to the current financial situation caused by the Corona
Virus and slowdown in the economy, the Government has decided to implement a
scheme to put workers of 50 years of age and above on early, mandatory retirement,
thus creating jobs and reducing unemployment.
This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People
Early).
Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to the Government to
be considered for the SHAFT program (Special Help After Forced Termination).
Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed
under the SCREW program (System Covering Retired-Early Workers).
A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as
many times as the Government deems appropriate.
Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional
Income for Dependents & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired
Personnel Early Severance).
Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be
SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by the Government.
Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as
much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. The Government has
always prided themselves on the amount of SHIT they give our citizens.
Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please
bring this to the attention of your TD, who has been trained to give you all
the SHIT you can handle.
Sincerely,
The Committee for Economic Value of Individual Lives
(E.V.I.L.)
PS - Due to Corona Virus, recent budget cuts and the rising
cost of electricity, gas and oil, as well as current market conditions, The
Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.
