6 分钟Hi there, this is Harry, and welcome back to the audio podcasts where we help you with your English learning, focused on those of you learning English at or around the intermediate level.
We'll help you with some grammar aspects or expressions in sentences that you can use in everyday occasions.
As always, I'm going to read the sentence for you twice, once for general understanding, and then the second to point out the key aspects or relevant parts of that particular sentence and help you, where possible, if necessary, with some pronunciation.
Always listen out at the end because I have an announcement to make that you might find of interest.
As always, if you want to write to me, if any queries, I'd be happy to answer them.
Quite a few of you have been writing to me recently, so I'm more than happy to help where I can.
So let's give you the first reading.
I'm in favor of banning people from eating food on public transport.
Second reading, I am in favor of banning people from eating food on public transport.
Okay, so here we've got the abbreviation at the beginning.
I am.
So I'm.
I apostrophe m, meaning I am.
I'm in favor of.
So this is one of these very typical english expressions.
In favour of means I support.
Okay, I'm in favor of a general election next year.
I'm in favor of people getting a minimum wage.
I'm in favor of banning cars from city centres.
Okay, so in favor of I support.
