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!

Students will focus particularly on different forms of the "there is"/"there are" structure which will help them to compare advantages and disadvantages (in this case, relating to working from home).
