05:29 Next: John Russell reports on a plan to build a huge solar farm in Australia. The Australian government gave environmental approvals for the $19 billion project recently. https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a...
09:40 Then: There is a debate among some writing experts about how to use the possessive apostrophe “s” with names that end in “s” or “z,” like Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. But one expert advises going with what is simpler and thinking about bigger subjects. Jill Robbins explores the subject for the LE report Everyday Grammar. Then Ashley welcomes Jill to the show for a little more discussion on the issue. https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a...
Finally: The LE program America's National Parks. Ashley Thompson and Caty Weaver visit the deepest lake in America. Welcome to the almost impossibly blue and pure Crater Lake in the state of Oregon. https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a...
