Rocket hits the Moon – BBC News Review reviews

May 20, 2022



Part of a discarded rocket most likely impacted on the far side of the Moon on Friday. It isn’t clear at this time who the rocket belonged to. The effects of the impact on the Moon should have been minor.
Rob and Rob discuss this news story and teach you some related vocabulary so you can talk about it too.

    This type of classes where there's a dialogue between two or more characters is definitely crucial for second language English learners, because it enables the English Language student to understand how English is spoken naturally, differently from lives where there's a sort of monologue in which a native speaks, but there is not a natural reaction and response, but some written chats, representing a reality that only exists on Lives, not in a real conversation, that''s why that sort of interaction class is extremely important, congratulations for BBC Learning English.

    I never liked BBC because of the way they post news. But I have to admit these type of videos are hand down the best.

  6. I think it is too naive to hope, that ppl will clean up space from junk. When we cant even clean up our own planet from all the plastics and garbage.

  7. Russia is a rogue country xd

  8. rogue is the name of a x mutant who is capable to absorbe your power

    I’m missing Catherine here on the News Review. How is she?

  10. Thank you very much for this interesting news review.

    The word "rogue" will always remind me on my first Star Wars movie which was called "Rogue One".
    And by the way, I always use calculators too. 🙂

  11. Thanks so much! Greeting from Cambodia!

    I hope the apocalypse is now while the planet still has a chance to recover from the viruses we spread on it, if it's not too late for the way we treat nature badly
