Day 54. Future Simple

Hello! Future Simple, yes! Finally! This is a very useful tense!
Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings. These different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and practice, the differences will become clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific time in the future.

Hello, mates! Well, here we are - Past Continuous! Do you all feel any progress in learning Englih? I hope you do!

Day 8. Food

                         Hello! How are you? Hope, everything is fine.

  Today our topic is dedicated to food. While it's a rather large topic, so I've decided to divide it into 2 days.
 Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essentialnutrients, such as fatsproteinsvitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cellsto provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth.
  So, what are we going to do this time? Well, first of all, are you a food-faddist?   Don't know this kind of word? That's totally not a problem! A food-faddist is a person who has some really sprecific preferences in taking meal. See? You've already learned the new phrase!

  For the beginning, let's watch the video called Top 10 Outrageous Food Items. 


And! One of my favourite videos - Top 10 Unhealthy Health Food

                                                                  
                                       
As usual, we have new words to learn. So, let's go!
