El verbo "soltar"

In this week's episode of English In A Teacup, we are getting ready for Halloween. We will be learning spooky vocabulary to get into the mood as well as a curiosity in English grammar called inversion.  For students preparing for advanced-level exams (CAE, CPE, IELTS, etc.), it is important to know about inversion and how to use it in the writing sections. To help us with the subject is our fine English lady, Miss Finesstocrat, who today will be telling us about her terrible experience trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. How did she get on? Let’s put the kettle on and find out!

98 - ¡Qué calor!

Hey this is Chadwick.

Today I am going to talk briefly about those little pop-up advertisements, also called pop-up ads, that appear on websites or videos that you are perusing on the internet.

I fully understand the necessity of the pop up ads.  I mean, while the internet appears to offer us so much information instantly, and in most cases 'free', the truth is someone somehow must pay the bills.

So, I completely appreciate the need to sell something in order to bring in some cold hard cash, or, money.

And yes, it's true, occasionally I enjoy having my attention drawn to new and exotic music equipment from my favorite shopping website, Sweetwater.

However, if I am going to be honest, most of the time pop ups annoy me.

I mean, I'm pretty intentional about how I spend my time on the internet.

And if I am looking for some specific information on a topic, or trying to listen some music on Youtube, then it can be a bit of a bother to 'X' out of an ad, or wait 15 seconds before I can watch a video.

How about you? What do you think of pop up advertisements?

Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.

   Written by Ryunosuke Akutagawa

その代わりまた鴉がどこからか、
たくさん集ってきた。
昼間見ると、その鴉が何羽となく輪を描いて、
高い鴟尾のまわりを啼きながら、
飛びまわっている。
ことに門の上の空が、
夕焼けであかくなる時には、
それが胡麻をまいたように はっきり見えた。
鴉は、勿論、門の上にある死人の肉を、
啄みに来るのである。――もっとも今日は、
刻限が遅いせいか、一羽も見えない。
ただ、所々、崩れかかった、
そうしてその崩れ目に長い草のはえた
石段の上に、鴉の糞が、
点々と白くこびりついているのが見える。
下人は七段ある石段の一番上の段に、
洗いざらした紺の襖の尻を据えて、
右の頬に出来た、大きな面皰を気にしながら、
ぼんやり、雨のふるのを眺めていた。
