  A new topic 2025 for you.

  Describe a time when the vehicle you took broke down on your trip.

• 00:20

  Wow, what a random, random topic.

• 00:24

  I know.

• 00:26

  You should say where it happened, when it happened, who you were with at the time, and explain why the vehicle broke down.

• 00:36

  So here the vehicle could be anything, a car, a train, a bus, a boat, a helicopter, a plane.

• 00:45

  Broke down.

• 00:46

  Yeah, broke down.

• 00:49

  So something was not okay with the car on your trip while you were traveling.

• 00:55

  I'm very lucky because almost exactly a year ago this happened.

• 00:59

  So thank God.

• 01:01

  But let's get started, shall we?

  However, one time last year, I was traveling back home at Christmas and the train broke down, so that wasn't great.

• 01:28

  In more detail about where it happened.

• 01:30

  This was between Glasgow and Dundee on what must have been one of the coldest nights of the year.

• 01:36

  As it turned out, I'd picked the worst time to travel since.

• 01:39

  There was a massive cold snap and a load of trains stopped working and got cancelled.
