E344: 🎙️ Hello and welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast! I'm Anna, and you're listening to Week 41, Day 2 of Your English Five a Day. Here, we are working on expanding your vocabulary while improving your English listening skills, by focusing on five items of vocabulary every day of the working week, from Monday through to Friday.

🐺 We start off today's list with the noun "power cut". Then, we delve into the idiom "not think straight", which is followed by the verb "abound". After that, we take a look at another verb, "huddle", and we finish with a final verb, "howl".

🔌 After some quick pronunciation practice and a recap to test your memory, we visit Sally and her kids in today's story, where they are experiencing a power cut during a winter storm. As the wind howls outside, they huddle together by candlelight and rediscover the joys of storytelling and board games, reconnecting in a way they hadn’t in a long time.
