Unacceptable
tnx.because of your channel I,m able to learn the complicated vocabulary of English
Great work and one small correction, if I may!
Pronunciation of Pakistan: the last four letters are pronounced as '..sthan' even though it is spelt '..stan'.
'Sthan' means place.
Pakistan, Hindustan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and similar others too are pronounced with '../sthan/'!
Thank you. Worth learning learn me english lot of thanks all coration

I very like Beth’s voice! It’s very pleasant to hear!
Smartly chose words and beautifully defined each words, thanks from Pakistan
It goes without saying that our politicians must take into consideration the calamitous effects of climate change and we should all do our bit for the environment.
A thought provoking video indeed!
Have a good one! ❤️
Dangerous climate change is NOT happening and is will NOT happen in the future. Weather events like in Pakistan normally happen throughout time. It is dishonest to wait for one of these events and blame it on climate change. But go ahead and write them a check... that is what they really want.
Good job
It is very helpful for ielts listening
Hii Nail, Nice to see you. Watching from Ethiopia.
Thanks you bbc i am trying to do my best to learn english

This video is great. I love it
I believe the whole world is facing a climate crisis we must collaborate to save our planet,to go green and save creatures
pray for everyone suffer and still
thanks Beth and Neil and elegant as usual 👍👍
There is no climate crisis other than the fact that weather can be really bad from time to time somewhere in the world. Going green WILL kill people way faster than CO2 which is actually feeding people because it is plant food.
Wow...Beth starts to appear in BBC Video. Great
Thanks a lot bbc
good
May they get proper help
I love these videos and highly recommend to anyone who wants to expand their English vocabulary...
Thank you, Dee! We're glad you enjoy them so much and thank you for recommending them.
Thanks for the lesson🙏 Beth is Cute ❣☺️
1. She was working with so much energy that I thought she was on steroids.
2. Today my schedule is swamped.
3. She found that the crime scene had hallmarks of a notorious serial killer.
Thanks BBC 😊

Pray for our iron broher to stay away from the suffering of nature as soon as possible. 🙏On behalf of me, I wish you all the best. ❤️❤️

Learning through youtube videos is effective and fun. Because of its visual images, it likes learning by audio on steroids. Instead of swamping under numerous of school assignments, I love studying like this kind.
Is there anything unusual on these sentences.
Good sentences. Some small corrections - 'it is like learning..." , "numerous school assignments", "I love this kind of studying".
@@bbclearningenglishthank you so muchh🥰
2nd very nice!!
"Feel the movement of the world. Feel the movement of life within yourself. You know that great change is coming. You know you must prepare. You do not know how to prepare, but you know you must prepare. You know there are certain things you must do now to start. Once you begin, other things will come to mind that you must understand, that you must alter or set aside.
This is how Knowledge will guide you. It will not tell you everything to do at the outset, for that would be overwhelming to you. But it will give you things to do in stages. And you must do these things as expediently and as completely as you can.
The power and the presence of Knowledge lives within you. You have come into the world at a time of great change. And you have come bearing gifts, gifts that you yourself cannot discover until Knowledge brings them forth within you."
A quote from - _Facing Great Change in the World_ - a teaching received by Marshall Vian Summers for the well being of the world and human civilization.
Thank you.
Advanced Happy onam

Why can I understand 6 minute English better than BBC News Review although they both are for intermediate level??
Do the subtitles help? Either way, thank you for listening to / watching our lessons, Amira!
In my opinion the eruption of the Tonga Volcano which was manly a moisture event has created a more than normal seasonal monsoon event. The southwestern part of the United States has also had extreme events. The 3rd biggest explosion ever recorded has to have an effect on weather. This being a moisture event as apposed to an ash event which in the past created years with no summer makes sense to me.
No one cares about your opinion. Use science or just stop.
The condition of Pakistan is not good these Pakistani people are facing a lot of challenges these days we request the whole world help to Pakistani people in this worse and tuff situation.

Don't worry Pakistan people this disaster will be over soon. Just make sure each and every citizen must help each other. India also face many disaster but help from countries people end every tragedy.
Condolences from India
Thanks 🙏
Going to start using “to be snowed under”. So adorable.
Yes, it's a great expression!

THERE YOU GO. ready to spread fear

It is contradictory to discuss climate change in Britain, which caused most of the world's pollution during the Industrial Revolution.
GOD Bless Pakistan 🙏
Pakistan Long-live ❤️
