Podcast 171 The Picnic (short story)

Practising English

Send me a text.

I discuss some important language for part 1 of the reading paper of the Cambridge Preliminary B1-level exam and include those words in a story called The Picnic.
The formal phrases for you to change to a more informal version are the following:
1) ‘I’ll make the arrangements,’ Marvin had then said.
2) I’m sure I have a few eggs available.
3) Actually, I’m not sure I have suitable ingredients for tiramisu.
4) Would you be available at six o’clock?
5) I suppose you have an announcement to make.
6) I imagine you won’t be able to attend.
I'll give my versions at the end of the podcast.
