Writing exercise

One day one of my favorite bolggers shared some podcasts which she loves so much on her Offical Account. I picked some podcasts and started to listen to them. There is one podcast for English learners and the organized person is a guy from the UK who named Luke. I have been listening to one of his episodes more than 5 times. It is called “What is on the table?” The reason that I keep listenning to the same podcast over and over again is because after each time I understand more than last time. Also in their podcast, they use many vocabularies and phrases that i just learn with Smart English. It is very helpful for me to know the word and phrase better and make my memories stronger.
