The Short Transcript Challenge V: design at the MoMA


To bring some change of subject to our series of minute-long transcripts, here's one on design to challenge our views of art and what is worthy of a place in a museum.

Of special idiomatic interest could be, for example, the expression used here to suggest that the enumeration is just a selection of a larger collection (and it's not "and so on").

Let the transcription challenge continue!


What's on in Bath

Hi everyone!

This video should give you some practice on what's on guides, description of events, leisure activities, etc. Pay attention to dates and common verbs for this type of guides, like coming up, looking towards (April), hosting, showcasing. I remind you that the dictionary widget is available on your right to look them up, but it would be great if you tried to assign meaning to these verbs by using the context.

So, the comprehension questions:



1. What three ways of finding out what's on in Bath does she mention?
2. What can we explore in BathDigital Festival? It's t____  d_____ s_____
3. What's the advantage of getting rugby tickets at the visitor centre?
4. What will Bath In Fashion concentrate on this year?
