Sab’s INTRODUCTION

Hello everyone, and welcome to today’s English FunLetter!

I’m doing a 3-Days-In-A-Row challenge in my Infinite Creativity NOW group at the moment and you can still take part.

You create something new, like a photo or a drawing or a poem or a recipe or a song or a dance, for three days in a row.

Can you see the postcards in the picture? I send everyone who successfully completes the challenge a colourful postcard from Paris. The postcard has one of my shortest but most symbolic poems on it, called “My Reality”.

You can read the whole poem here, on my Mystic Rhythms poetry site.

My son, Léo, whom you can see in the photo, is helping me put them in the postbox.

What do YOU love creating? Tell us in the Fun English Lessons Facebook group HERE.

IN OTHER NEWS…

My girlfriend got Covid last week, and her daughter too.

They are both fully vaccinated, so they are only experiencing mild symptoms, like coughs and headaches.

Usually, she is as fit as a fiddle, so I’m hoping she will be back on her feet very soon.

I don’t think I’ve had Covid, and I’m feeling as right as rain, so I can’t complain.

A lot of people I know have had the virus, but I’m happy to say that they are all on their way to recovery and some are a picture of health again!

*cough (v) – make air come out of your throat with a short sound:
*headache (n) – pain inside your head

*ENGLISH IDIOMS ~ Health

1) as fit as a fiddle ➜ very healthy and active

2) back on your feet ➜ in a strong position again after a period of difficulty

3) as right as rain ➜ feeling healthy and in good condition, not sick

4) on the way to recovery ➜ in the process of getting better / well

5) a picture of health ➜ to be completely / extremely healthy

WORDS in the NEWS
From BBC World – Europe:

Russian gallery security guard accused of drawing eyes on painting

A Russian art gallery guard has been accused of doodling on a Soviet-era painting he was responsible for guarding on his first day in the job.

During a visit to the Yeltsin Center in Yekaterinburg in December, two visitors spotted eyes drawn in ballpoint pen on Anna Leporskaya’s work Three Figures.

The avant-garde painting features three abstract, and usually eyeless, figures.

The security guard has since been fired and the police have opened a criminal investigation.

USEFUL DEFINITIONS

accuse (verb) – to say that someone has done something bad

doodle (verb) – to draw little pictures or patterns on something without thinking about it

spot (verb) – to see or notice something or someone

abstract art – pictures with shapes and colours, not images of real people or things

fire (verb) – tell someone they must leave their job
