Notes
Is Australia on your Bucket List ?
Over 5 million people visit Australia every year, it’s one of the most exotic, varied and huge countries to visit. The original inhabitants are known as the First Australians, and in 1770 Captian Cook claimed the land for the British monarchy and it became a convict colony in 1788.
The country is still part of the British Commonwealth and King Charles is Head of State, and indeed is an unusual mix of British culture and exotic landscapes.
In this podcast we talk about Sydney, Hamiliton Island in the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru formally known as Ayres Rock.

The Bone Crushing Game of Thrones Quiz; everything you need to know to watch the series in English !
The final season of the hit series Games of Thrones will be aired on April 14. Fans all over the world are waiting in anticipation for this global event. Indeed on average each episode regularly attracts over 30 millions viewers !
The best way to watch any series is in English. Even if it is a challenge, you get so much more out of the series when watching in the original version. For example, do you know the different accents of the characters in GOT ? They really do add to the characterization. In the series many words have been invented to describe the different roles, jobs and attitudes. Also to be authentic the actors had to learn several fictitious languages to differentiate the many different tribes and groups. You get all of this if you watch in English !
The award winning series has become known for its complicated story lines with a huge cast of 553 cast members in 67 episodes! The series is also known for the gruesome bloody scenes, it is certainly not for the faint hearted !
SO BE WARNED….. this quiz also is full of blood and gore !
So, how is it possible to have a mere 30 questions for such a huge series ? Of course, it cannot cover all the story lines so it is designed to help English learners understand the vocabulary and grammar that you see in the episodes (strangulation, poison, bone crushing ……).
If you are new to GOT you may not know this: the TV series is an adaptation of a trilogy of novels called A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. Both the novels and the TV series are set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos where noble dynasties fight, plot and scheme for the right to ascend to the Iron Throne. To add to the complication of political intrigue there is a dangerous exterior threat to the entire realm (“Winter is Coming”) from fierce creatures that lie far north of The Wall.
Are you up on the GRUESOME scenes, the INTRICATE story lines and the huge
CAST of Games of Thrones? Try your luck with this quiz which has all the
vocabulary you need to follow the series in English.
The Tour de France is the most important bike race in the world which attracts a massive global audience.
Although the route changes every year, there is always a mixture of flat and mountain stages through the Alps and the Pyrenees, with classic stages which have become part of history.
The time trial stages are exciting as they are the ones which help to sort out the best riders from the others.
The finishing line is on the Champs Elysee in Paris after 21 intense stages.
The riders work as a team to ensure that they have one of their riders winning either the yellow, green, white and/or spotted jersey.
Since the beginning of this iconic race there has been a mass of folklore and fascinating history emanating from it. The spectators who spend hours waiting on the side of the road are also an important part of the scene, often wearing fancy dress as they cheer on their favorite riders.
