Hello there!
This is the video on Occupy London protesters being evicted from St Paul's on Tuesday. Some of you did this comprehension in class; in that case this will give you the chance to watch it again or check your answers with the key in a couple of days.
There's some vocabulary on law and order here, as well as some interesting expressions like "it's a shadow of its former self". Can you spot it? What do you think it means?
These are the comprehension questions:
1. Why is it certain that they are going to be evicted?
2. When are they going to leave?
3. How do they interpret the eviction?
4. How has the movement expanded?
5. What's the purpose of taking the case to the European Court of Human Rights?
Please give your answers in the comments! Thank you!

3. How do they interpret the eviction? Like a transition.
4. How has the movement expanded? The movement has included other occupations, protests now inhabit in a ¿¿bended?? local school in a nearby square. There’s even an occupied land in a record label.
