And we'd be very happy to hear from you and very happy to help you.
And in this particular lesson, we're going to take a look at another news article.
We tried this in a previous lesson and we got great reaction from it.
And a lot of you said it was an easier way for you to learn English.
So we taken another article.
So what I'm going to do here, I'm going to read it a couple of times, highlight some words, and then give you the meaning and examples of how you can use them.
Now, this particular article is taken from the Guardian newspaper, and it concerns one man called Mister Elon Musk.
So you've all heard of him by now.
Some of you might also be driving his wonderful cars.
And this man has been really, really successful.
You know, the introduction of his cars has really challenged the old industry.
And of course, introduction of electric vehicles makes that a lot easier.
But he's also spent a lot of money, personal wealth, in relation to sending space rockets into space to carry out experiments.
And this particular article is all about a recent rocket that unfortunately took off, but within a very short space of time, it had exploded and it didn't get too far.
And we also know Mister Musk from his recent investment in Twitter, where he purchased all the shares on Twitter, and now he owns that particular media site outright.
