Hello and welcome to the English Like A Native podcast.
My name is Anna and you're listening to week 24,
day 5 of Your English Five A Day, the second season.
With this series,
I'm giving you the opportunity to have a daily dunk into the English language so that slowly but surely you start to feel more confident and more like yourself.
when communicating in English.
Today is Friday, which means it's big story day.
We're going to bring together all the vocabulary that we've looked at this week in one big story.
So, sit back and relax and listen as we go into story time.
Who sits next to me?
Growing up as the eldest of seven children,
my childhood unfolded against a constant backdrop of noise, mess and squabbling.
So much squabbling.
Anyone with siblings will know that bickering over toys,
space and who gets the last biscuit is just part of the package.
With that experience etched into my memory, I naturally assumed that when I became a mother,
my own children would be just the same, at each other's throats more often than not.
Now, I'm the mother of two young boys.
One is four and the other is six.
And I have to admit, I've been pleasantly surprised by how well they get along.
