Dan Novak and Ashley Thompson host today's Learning English show. They go first to a report out of Nairobi, Kenya where international negotiators are holding talks about the problem of plastic pollution. Dan Friedell reports.
Then, Caty Weaver explores a traditional autumn ceremony in Japan for children that is growing popular for pets in the country.
Next up is the LE Education Report. A report from the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., found that, in 37 states supplying the data, tens of thousands fewer boys than girls graduated high school in 2018. Dan Novak and Gena Bennett have the story. After their report, Dan and Gena chat about what Dan found most surprising about the findings.
We close the show with the LE Lesson of the Day. Dustin Reynolds bases his instruction on a report about new options offered to Facebook and Instagram users in Europe. Listen closely for the word "comply." Dustin provides its meaning and usage and more!
