Number 37: Current events

Happy New Year everybody!

 My first post of the new year is on the topic of small-talk:

 Let’s take a look at some useful phrases for talking about current events:

         

Did you hear the news today?

I heard on the radio today that they are planning to build a new airport in Innsbruck.

I read in the paper today that the price of oil is going up.

Did you see the video clip of Thomas Morgenstern’s accident?

What do you think about the unrest in Thailand?

Did you see the game last night? That team is unbeatable at the moment!

Will you be watching the Olympics on TV? Are you interested in winter sports?

 

Why not try them out next time you have the chance?

All the best for now,

Derek
