Hi everyone,
Many British people drink tea during their short breaks from work. Do you take tea breaks or coffee breaks?
The tour guide’s English tea break is a new monthly blog that gives you the chance to take a few minutes out of your busy day to find out about an interesting landmark from around the world and practise useful English that you can use on your tour.
New words: What’s a landmark?
A landmark is a well-known building or feature that is an important part of the landscape. Examples: Big Ben in London, Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome, the Arc de Triomphe in Paris
It only costs 4€ a month to subscribe to The tour guide’s English tea break, but you’ll receive the first one on Monday the 27th of January for free. Here’s quick look to see what to expect!
You can
- read and listen to a talk about one of the most distinctive buildings in Oxford (my hometown). Have a look at the picture below. Can you name the building?
An iconic landmark
- learn how to use a vital piece of grammar to talk about the important buildings and works of art on your tour, and when to use it.
How to use English: Active and passive sentences
- and, practise using the English that you have learnt to talk about the important places on your tours.
Now, it’s your turn!
Think of a landmark on your tour and…
Find out what the iconic landmark is on Monday! I hope you enjoy reading it.
You can also sign up for The tour guide’s English tea break right now to receive it every month.
It would be good to hear from you. Let me know which interesting places you would like to read about in future editions of The tour guide’s English tea break.
Have a great weekend.
