AT THE WEEKEND THIS WEEKEND

CENTRE CENTER

TORCH FLASHLIGHT

Based on the video that you just watched,

which one is the correct English?
Both are correct, but in some case it’s
uncommon to use some of this words.
Who knew repairing a clock could
provoke such outrage?
But this isn't just a case of winding up an antique timepiece gathering dust in
the hall. This is the 315-foot tower commonly known as Big Ben, the iconic
landmark synonymous with London's skyline. Built 158 years ago, Big Ben has
this week found itself at the center of a nationwide storm. Politicians fumed
and newspapers seethed after it came to light the Great Bell would fall silent
on Monday, dinging its last dong until 2021 while construction workers carry
out £29 million of repairs (around $37 million).
Big Ben is actually the nickname given to the bell rather than the tower itself,
but over the years it has come to describe the entire structure that looms over
the northern end of the Palace of Westminster, the home of the British
Parliament. Last renovated more than 30 years ago, the tower is now in dire
need of extensive repair. Officials at Parliament say this can't happen while Big
Ben is chiming because the noise would damage workers' hearing.
At 13.7-tons and 7 feet 2 inches, the deafening bell is twice the weight of an
African elephant and about as tall as former basketball star Yao Ming. It's also
incredibly loud. “Silencing Big Ben is like stopping the heartbeat of our
democracy.” "When … Big Ben bongs near you, you'll know it," said the Trades
Union Congress, or TUC, which represents 5.6 million workers across the U.K.
"At nearly 120 decibels, it's like putting your ear next to a police siren.“

Idiom of the day!

Turn a Blind Eye

To “turn a blind eye” to something means to pretend not to have
noticed it.

“I turned a blind eye when she took one of the cookies.”

 Until next week…
