The Penguinet

Good morning from Penguin HQ, where I have been collecting goodies for you all to practise your English.


First, of course, a Borneo-Report:

This tribe, the Penan, live in Sarawak which is the other Malaysian state on the Island of Borneo. But it's still a familiar theme for me.

Last week some of us talked about Music and poetry. Here are some poets reading their own work (Some of you will recognize Benjamin Zephaniah)

And yesterday there was a wonderful Play on BBC R4 about the Welsh Poet Alun Lewis. It's available to 'Listen Again':

That's enough fun and loveliness for one day, so here's a Phrasal Verb quiz:

Hope you all have a lovely day and a great week!
Next week The Penguinet will be away (yet again) in the UK; so see you in two weeks.
