Sam
Ha! Well, just think - there are even rainier places to live Neil,
as I asked in my
question: in which country is the world’s rainiest village?
Neil
I guessed it was in Ireland.
Sam
Which was… the wrong answer, I’m afraid. In fact, Mawsynram, the world’s
wettest village, is in the Khasi hills of north-eastern India.
With around twelve
metres of rain a year, I guess it’s not somewhere you’ll
be visiting, Neil! OK, let’s
recap the vocabulary we’ve learned starting with
drizzling
which
means raining
lightly.
Neil
If you’re
meddling
you’re trying to change something which is not your
responsibility or without being asked to.
Sam
Someone who is
playing God
is acting as if they control everything and can do
whatever they want.
Neil
An
excuse
is a reason you give to explain why you did something wrong.
Sam
If something
waxed and waned
, it grew stronger then weaker over time.
Neil
And finally, a
taboo
is a subject that avoided for social or religious reasons. Once
again, our six minutes are up! Bye for now!
