[@bossddd8212]

Yes exactly ☺️

[@7gu85g]

No one needs your "love from russia". The only thing you can do to be forgiven is to sing Ukrainian hymn right in front of Lubyanka.

[@Anna-tj6jl]

@@7gu85g You think it will change or influence anything?
And you yourself could change the world's process? I doubt...
I've got my friends abroad, our relationship is the same, even better after the events. Normal people have got their empathy and understanding of others, they do not expand hatred as you try to do

[@Dimo4ka.]

It sounded so cute "Bye!" when Beth said at the end. Please don't hesitate to do it again.

Greetings from 🇵🇪, thank you for helping us with proper and new vocabulary 👏🏻✅

[@bbclearningenglish]

You're very welcome. Which expressions were new for you?

[@estrellita8508]

@@bbclearningenglish well succeeded although is understandable but not usual when you are learning english, and of course bagged as a verb, never heard it before. ☺️ oh and storm clouds gathering is understandable because in Spanish it means similar: “nubes negras están por venir”, difficult times are coming or maybe bad things may occur.

[@biri598]

Thank you but can you explain the whole sentences? It is easy to understand what storm clouds gathering means if you think a little, i can’t understand what “narrow win” means instead

[@bounty1402]

It means that she won just for a handful of votes.

How funny the king and Queen system is

[@graycatfan]

Rearranging the terms in the equation does not change the sum. I feel sorry for the UK.
