Tomi, from the WLES reception staff, sat down with Shin to ask him some questions about his experience at WLES. He studied with us from March to July 2019 and returned after studying with us 5 years ago, in 2014.
1) Hi Shin! Tell us a bit about yourself.
I am Shin from Japan. I’m a mix of Thai and Japanese actually.
2) And what have you been studying with us?
Erm, I’ve been studying English! General English, Business and IELTS. I have loved all my classes, especially the general English, Now I’m in the C1 general English class and I joined as B2. I’ve really liked it. I think
The Brits (and Americans) love sarcasm. So, if you want to make friends with us, you’d better learn to recognise sarcasm because otherwise you’ll get pretty annoyed or maybe even quite hurt and offended. Honestly, we’re really nice people, we’ve just got a funny sense of humour!
SO WHAT EXACTLY IS SARCASM?
It’s saying the opposite to what you really mean. Why? Mainly it’s to be funny, we think it’s hilarious; but it could be used to be cutting and hurtful.
LET’S SEE SOME EXAMPLES
It’s Friday night and there’s a crowd in the pub. An obviously unattractive person walks in, and what’
Why don’t you....
.......go out walking? You won’t spend and you’ll see that London is much more than you thought, it can still give you the feeling that it was once villages and countryside. Try two of my favourites, they’re circular. During lockdown I’ve been doing them in the early morning and they’ve kept me happy. I think they will you.
Try walk number one:
Make your way to Perivale station, 297 bus or central line, turn right and walk to the canal, and when you reach it turn left and walk for ten minutes. You’ll see boats, people living on boats, ducks, ducklings at this ti
If you pop a balloon, you break the balloon and it makes a small explosive sound. If your eyes pop out of your head, you’ve probably just seen something shocking. On a plane, your ears might pop during landing.
But informally, we often use the word pop when going somewhere or moving an object:
I’m just popping to the loo. (I’m going to the loo, but I won’t be long.)
I popped some clothes in my bag and left. (I put some clothes in my bag and left.)
These uses of pop are British English – they don’t exist in American English. This led to a dispute during the trial of a British

If you watch any American comedy show and they ever talk about British people, you will hear three kinds of jokes. 1) British people are polite 2) We all have terrible teeth. 3) Our food is the worst in the world.
If you ask any non-British person to describe our national cuisine, you will most likely hear the words bland, tasteless and “please don’t make me eat it”. But how has our food developed this dreadful reputation and is it really deserved?
They say a great chef is only as good as their ingredients. In the past this was a major problem. While these isles are blessed with some of
