My name is Anna and today is week 11, day 3 of our story following Gabriel on his journey across the UK.
Why are we following Gabriel?
Because learning through stories is probably the best way to learn.
Yesterday, Gabriel rushed to join an important online meeting, navigating polite British expressions along the way.
Today, that meeting leads to something unexpected.
A chance to take part in a traditional English village event.
Now, supporting materials for this season are available at www. joinelan. com forward slash plus.
Now, let's begin with a snapshot of what's to come.
After his online meeting, Gabriel is invited to a village,
Fate, where locals set up food stalls, offer a taster of homemade chutney and organise a raffle.
To his surprise, he 's asked to judge a baking competition,
helping decide which treat deserves the prize for best in show.
OK, let's head into our vocabulary breakdown.
First, we have the word fate, fate, F-E-T-E.
This is a small outdoor community festival often held in a village.
For example, the village fate included games, food and music.
Next, stall, stall, S-T-A-L-L.
