Listening to a story and answering questions on it is the best way to test and improve your listening comprehension. In this fun lesson, you will listen to a strange news story and have the opportunity to learn many new words. If you would like to continue the lesson, try to re-tell the story in your words. You could also try to use some of these new words in a sentence. The opportunities to learn are endless.
What a strange story but a very good lesson, don’t ever drink water from streams ;)
elli
I totally agree with you, so weird the story.
gonzalo
This was a top class lesson! Even if I nearly sicked after I heard that story :D
Be honest I didn’t know too much words from the blackboard, but you explained them very well. BTW the word “symptom” is international I guess.
Anyway, great lesson, thanx ;)

max
thank you sir for such a good lesson but em lil bit confuse about word “shunned” could you make a sentence of tht word?
mehnazshah
The word ‘shun’ means to keep away from, to avoid. “He was shunned by his community.” ‘To shun’ is the base verb. I hope that helps.
Jon
Didn’t know that it is possible to detect such parasites with x-ray… Is it really possible?
Anton Danshin
To be honest I am not sure, but I liked the story.
Jon
it is hard to detected with x-ray
but it is always detected with stool analysis or immunity analysis by antibody or antigen.
subzero
Valldecy said: I love your lesson. You’re a good teacher.

rafasant
Thanks for the video, Jon. It’s an interesting, new format of lectures. Hope you’ll keep producing such lessons once in a while.
pluton
John, how we can ask a question using “used to”? For example, can we ask Did you used to go to the gym? Is that correct, or we must say Did you use to go to the gym? Please tell me which of these examples is correct. Thank you in advance.
englishstudent
Did you use to go to the gym? This is the correct form because used to is the past tense of use and if you are using the auxiliary verb “did” then the main verb must be in the base form. This is a very common mistake. Take care.
Jon
Thanks Jon for giving new vocabulary. I hope you do more lessions like this.

hi john how are you ? can you please tell me how can i improve my listening because i find dificulties when i watch a movie on tv so i’m obliged to read subtitle . i know it’s a wrong way so i feel i’m not good at english because i think that mastering english equals understanding without reading .thanks
english
I think it is normal to require subtitles in the beginning. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Keep watching films and listening to music. Try to do it without subtitles to test yourself. Then you can watch the movie without subtitles to see how much you understood. Good luck. It takes time, so just enjoy yourself.

Hi, John.Thanks a lot for the listening lesson you”ve given. I’ve visited this site for the first time and it’s really interesting.I liked it because my problem is the vocabulary and I’d like to improve my vocabulary english .I’ve got 2 questions if you don’t mind.
1- Can I give to the word symptom this definition( to feel a change in the body that indicates a beginning of a sickness)
2-shunned( to be sacked , fired or isolated)from a family ,from a job, from a community……
SARA
Thx Jon for you lesson!
I have a little question for you. I hope you will answer:
In the Netherlands we also said ‘Butterflies in your stomach’ but in the Netherlands it means you are in love => ‘I have butterflies in my stomach when I see that girl.’
How you say that in English? Can you also use ‘butterflies in your stomach’?

Geneva
Hey Jon! The story is good.I would like to make a request.If you don’t mind please make some lessons on phonics.I am really confused in that topic.
Some of my doubts are –
1)why ‘A’ sound in apple is different from ‘A’ sound in strange?How to find the exact sound in some new words? Are there any rules for those sounds?
2)In the same way with other alphabets like ‘O’,’C’,’I’,’E’,’G’,’Y’ and so on.
I found so much stuff in internet about this.But none explained me why? and the rules to follow them.Please make a lesson on this and that could be a great help to me.
chilakbond007

Hi, John.Thanks a lot for the listening lesson you”ve given. I’ve visited this site for the first time and it’s really interesting.I liked it because my problem is the vocabulary and I’d like to improve my vocabulary english .I’ve got 2 questions if you don’t mind.
1- Can I give to the word symptom this definition( to feel a change in the body that indicates a beginning of a sickness)
2-shunned( to be sacked , fired or isolated)from a family ,from a job, from a community……
Thx Jon for you lesson!
I have a little question for you. I hope you will answer:
In the Netherlands we also said ‘Butterflies in your stomach’ but in the Netherlands it means you are in love => ‘I have butterflies in my stomach when I see that girl.’
How you say that in English? Can you also use ‘butterflies in your stomach’?
Hİİ JONE it is nice to hear from a Turkish story..I hope one day you can come TUrkey … it is really a beautiful country…and I hope one day I can come Canada:)
SORRY I SEND THE MAIL WITHOUT READING…IT IS NICE TO HEAR FROM YOU A TURKISH STORY..I HOPE THIS TIME IT IS CORRECT

A bad artist but a wonderful actor!The lesson is very interesting, but the story is crazy. Don’t listen this story befor having a lunch=)
Hey Jon! The story is good.I would like to make a request.If you don’t mind please make some lessons on phonics.I am really confused in that topic.
Some of my doubts are –
1)why ‘A’ sound in apple is different from ‘A’ sound in strange?How to find the exact sound in some new words? Are there any rules for those sounds?
2)In the same way with other alphabets like ‘O’,’C’,’I’,’E’,’G’,’Y’ and so on.
I found so much stuff in internet about this.But none explained me why? and the rules to follow them.Please make a lesson on this and that could be a great help to me.
that s very good story and jon you are very good teacher. Thank u for about new words.
What can I tell You Jon you are a grate teacher with the other guys,when i started to watch these videos i felt more sure when i speak English. And i would like to aks for a favor i’d like to learn executive conversations and business also…
