5:45 Thank you for your programme! I’ve been listening to all episodes of News Review. I’m the only one who noticed Catherine had pronounced “UK” instead of “UP” when explaining the spell of “a wake-up call”, aren't I?
The quiz was a bit of a damp squib since it has the same sentences in the video. I expected to see different examples there. This might be a wake-up call for you guys to review the quiz examples 😂
Thanks to all of you teachers and the BBC for helping me and many others learning English in a easy way
💗💗💗👍💗❤❤

Happy New Year teachers!
Hi team! Good review.
So, Abba return was deemed as "damp squib"? Do you remember any "revival" that came up with good hits as they did in the past? Quoting a famous brazilian singer called Rita Lee, an ex-member of the successful trailblazing rock band Mutantes from the end of the 60's (those times of counterculture), when people would push her to make a revival with Mutantes: "revival is a bunch of elderly trying to make some money to pay for a geriatrician". Rude, isn't it? But, it's the truth.
Thank you!
Happy new year BBC, English learning, From Bangladesh
4 It was destroyed, the earth fell; got sick, the world fell; the high peoples of the earth have sickened. 5 And the land was polluted under its inhabitants; because they transgressed the laws, they falsified the law, they broke the everlasting covenant. 6 For this reason the curse consumed the land, and its inhabitants were laid waste; for this cause the inhabitants of the earth were consumed, and men were diminished.
7 The wine is lost, the vine is sickened, all who were merry in heart groaned.
8 The rejoicing of the tambourines has ceased, the noise of those rejoicing has ceased, the joy of the harp has ceased.
9 They will not drink wine with singing; cider will be bitter to those who drink it.
10 The city is broken by vanity; Every house has been closed, so that no one can enter.
11 There are cries for lack of wine in the streets; all joy was darkened, joy was banished from the earth.
12 The city was desolate, and the gate was broken down with ruin.
13 For so it shall be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the peoples, like a shaken olive tree, like gleanings after the harvest.
Isaiah 24: 4-13.

6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; See that you are not disturbed, because it is necessary that all this happens; but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be plagues, and famines, and earthquakes in different places. 8 And all this will be the beginning of pain. Matthew 24: 6-8 JESUS.

9 And when you hear of wars and seditions (protests against their rulers), do not be alarmed; because it is necessary that these things happen first; but the end will not be immediately. 10 Then he said to them: Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; 11 and there will be great earthquakes, and in different places famines and pestilences; and there will be terror and great signs from heaven.
Luke 21: 7-11
