Kelvin-Helmholtz: Rare wave clouds amaze sky-watchers in Wyoming

In this episode we are going to learn how to 【Ask questions】. Don't forget to put your answers in comment. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

This episode is all about persuasion,  how to convince others of your ideas or opinions. We will be looking at some useful adjectives and persuasive expressions to help you explain why others should follow your advice or recommendations. To assist us with this topic, Miss Finesstocrat will be telling us of her experience working as a sales representative in a homeware store. How will she get on?

In this episode, we covered everything from ‘how to describe the apartment you want’ to ‘different ways to find an available home’. Let’s go!
