In this edition, we sit down to a traditional British breakfast in a smart London restaurant and then, an ordinary café!

We find out what the great British breakfast is made of, and why it is becoming more and more popular, especially in London, to eat breakfast in a café before arriving at the office for a hard day's work!

Our guests are an American anthropologist, a top chef in a London restaurant, and the author of new book called 'Egg, Bacon, Chips and Beans: 50 Great Cafés and the Stuff That Makes Them Great'.

Karaoke

Singing songs is a great way to improve your pronunciation. Why don't you try the karaoke on this webpage? I chose the song Mamma mia to start with, but there is a very wide range of songs available.
If you go down a little you will see the video of the song and the complete lyrics, so you can read them in advance before you try the karaoke.
Enjoy yourselves!!
