Show 988 Friday 6 March
Watch today’s show at YouTube or BlipTV.
Hi, I’m Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show.
The song I recommend today is called Hot N Cold by Katy Perry.
I don’t really like this song, but I think a few people do. One of the videos on YouTube has more than 40 million hits.
Anyway, I think this could be a good song to listen to or sing along to, to practice opposites.
These are the opposites she sings about:
hot / cold
yes / no
in / out
up / down
wrong / right
black / white
fight, break up / kiss, make up
STICK NEWS
Kia ora in Stick News today education officials in Pennsylvania accidentally sold a classroom on ebay for $1.
According to news reports a school district in the United States was attempting to sell seven used portable classrooms. They’d bought the classrooms three years ago for about $46,000. They decided to sell them on eBay and were expecting to get between 5 and 10 thousand dollars per classroom. But they made a mistake which allowed someone to buy one classroom for only a dollar. A spokesperson said they tried to back out of the sale, but they couldn’t. She was asked if the remaining classrooms would be sold on eBay, and she replied: "No I don't think we will go that route again."
And that was Stick News for Friday the 6th of March.
Kia ora.
