Electrostatic micro current and vocabulary structures
This is a nice listening text for anyone preparing a Cambridge exam - mathematician Dr Hannah Fry explains why your laptop sometimes feels like it’s buzzing when you charge it using some vocabulary structures that you might recognize from the exam preparation. Look out for the following:
Phrasal verbs: make up; turn down; come out; let go.
Phrases and collocations: way too small; absolutely no idea; send a message; by the way; back and forth.
Word patterns: pump into; leak into; pulse through; drag across.
So instead of studying from a boring textbook you can learn about electrostatic micro current and improve your English at the same time.
