Hi guys, this is
0:02
Fiona from I else
0:04
with Fiona on the
0:06
Members Academy. It is
0:08
Christmas Eve, Twenty Fourth
0:10
of December. Twenty twenty
0:12
three. And I'm a
0:14
little late because what
0:16
I actually wanted to
0:18
talk about today happened
0:20
on the twenty First
0:22
of December, which was
0:24
the shortest day of
0:26
the year and it's
0:28
known as. The. Winter
0:30
Solstice. I thought there
0:32
must be an eye
0:34
else reading on this.
0:36
and here we have
0:39
it. It's from Book
0:41
eighteen, so it's very
0:43
recent and the good
0:45
news is that it's
0:47
ah. Part. One. Academic.
0:50
Reading which means it's not
0:52
too difficult something for you
0:54
to do during the holidays,
0:57
and it's a really interesting
0:59
topic. I think the title
1:01
is Stonehenge. Now I'm sure
1:04
you know Stonehenge, but if
1:06
you don't to, it's one
1:08
of those images of. Britain.
1:11
England is quite a famous
1:14
tourist spot. You know it's
1:16
it's kind of stones in
1:18
a circle and. He. Has
1:21
the same kind of status
1:23
I would say as web
1:26
the pyramids. They're not as
1:28
amazing as the pyramids, but
1:30
they have that mystery surrounding
1:32
them on of course I
1:35
else loves that. With we've
1:37
got a reading about how
1:39
the pyramids were built, we've
1:42
got another reading about how
1:44
the Easter Island heads were
1:46
moved and built. so. This.
1:49
Is the typical I else
1:51
reading and there's so much
1:53
language in this particular one?
1:56
I really really strongly recommend
1:58
that you find it. Online
2:00
I'll put it on. my website is
2:02
in the members academy but. If
2:05
you just google am I us
2:07
reading Stonehenge? you'll find it So
2:10
do is. And
2:12
may be come back to the listening if
2:14
you want to. On.
2:17
So. Yeah, it's cold stone
2:19
hens, I
2:22
saw it on the
2:24
news on the twenty
2:26
fifth of December because
2:29
understood the solstice people
2:31
like to go with
2:33
to celebrate the. The
2:35
source his day. There's also of
2:38
course the Summer Solstice. Which.
2:40
Is the longest. Day. The
2:42
Longest day yes, which is in summer
2:45
And I didn't actually know what Solstice
2:47
meant? I can't believe I didn't know.
2:49
So I googled it and I think
2:51
it's quite important at this time of
2:53
year, it. From.
2:56
The meaning is to
2:58
stand still and it
3:00
comes from Latin words
3:03
solve meaning son and
3:05
his staff meaning to
3:07
stand. Still, for it's the
3:09
point where the sun appears to
3:12
reach either it's highest or lowest
3:14
point in the sky for the
3:16
year. And this
3:19
ancient astronomers came to know
3:21
the day as one where
3:23
the sun appeared to stand
3:26
there. Hell, it's full of
3:28
ancient symbolism and mythology and
3:31
this would ancient is so
3:33
important for ios and. A
3:36
lot of the woods connected with.
3:39
I'll I'll. Call. It connected
3:41
with ancient civilizations. That's my.
3:45
Vocabulary Topic in their
3:47
vocabulary boost course because
3:49
that is so many
3:51
texts about it. And
3:54
it's perfect for I us because
3:56
it's. It's one of
3:58
those tax that ass. A
4:00
question at the start and
4:02
then give lots of theories
4:04
about. you know, how would
4:06
the pyramids, bills? or how
4:08
did they move those huge
4:10
heads? Any sir. Island: what
4:12
happened to Easter Island. It's
4:14
exactly the same here, but
4:16
it's quite interesting, but it's
4:18
a tough one. Passage One:
4:20
those kind of passages usually
4:22
come while. Pot.
4:24
To will pop three. Anyway,
4:28
The title is Stonehenge
4:31
and. That. The
4:33
first paragraph. And
4:35
question it. Says for
4:37
centuries, Historians and archaeologists
4:39
have puzzled over the
4:42
many mysteries of Stonehenge,
4:44
a pre historic manu
4:46
that took an estimated
4:49
one thousand five hundred
4:51
years to erect. Who.
4:55
The other thing about the
4:57
language here is that it's
5:00
all of that academic language.
5:02
The kind of hedging we're
5:04
not sure it may be
5:06
probably research has shown evidence
5:08
has revealed all of that
5:10
language as well. If you're
5:12
going on to do academic
5:14
writing at university, this is
5:17
all essential. So that first
5:19
thing said, it took an
5:21
estimated one thousand five hundred
5:23
years. I
5:25
also think that's interesting because why is
5:27
it? singular? An estimated one
5:30
thousand, five hundred years. I
5:32
guess it's considered a group
5:34
A time period estimated meaning
5:36
they can only guess they're
5:39
not saw. That.
5:45
Leads us into some of
5:47
the theories and I'm gonna
5:50
have a quick check of
5:52
the questions first. That's what
5:54
I always do. so the
5:56
first set of questions. The.
5:58
Title is stone. They'd
6:01
give read it. Into three parts.
6:03
Number one: the construction. How
6:07
it with bill to and they divide
6:09
passed into three parts as well as
6:11
stage one state to state three so
6:13
that's easy to find in the text.
6:16
Then they talk about the builders.
6:19
And then they talk about the. Purpose.
6:21
Of. Basically. The Three pots.
6:24
How was it best? who built
6:26
it and why did they build
6:28
it? There at
6:30
eight gap sentences there and
6:33
you're allowed to use. Our
6:35
to would. Normally it's
6:37
one would but here to words
6:39
are allowed. So
6:42
if we just look at the
6:44
construction. On the
6:46
first thing it says stage one
6:48
it says the ditch and hence
6:51
Henge is a strange. Would might
6:53
have the qui gon look
6:55
for that or with Doug
6:57
possibly using tools made from
7:00
home thing now. If
7:02
you listened to my previous
7:04
podcasts I think or. A.
7:07
Field in the bronze Membership. You.
7:09
Will see the ipad
7:12
a whole thing about
7:14
made from and made
7:17
of it comes. Home
7:20
and I think it was
7:22
a listening about help. And
7:25
what soap with made off and
7:27
made from and it was essential
7:30
that you you knew these woods
7:32
made from unmade of Well here
7:34
we are again and there's a
7:36
new word and it comes up
7:39
twice in this listening. So we
7:41
need to learn. It felt.
7:43
It. Says the ditch and
7:46
hands were dead possibly. using.
7:48
Tools made from So first of
7:50
all, your brain should be thinking,
7:53
well, how did they make tools
7:55
I'd I actually put a few
7:57
examples in the previous. Post.
7:59
Of. Com gap fills on a
8:01
one of examples with tools were
8:04
made from bone which they were
8:06
so in a I'm already thinking
8:08
well how did they make tools
8:10
and. When you go to the.
8:13
Text: let's have a look. It.
8:15
Says first set of states when.
8:19
Neolithic. Britain. don't worry
8:21
about that. They give you
8:23
that Would neolithic actually less
8:26
to grow? We'll see what
8:28
it says. Neolithic Me and
8:30
this this Iraq was the
8:33
Stone Age. Okay so Neolithic
8:35
means the Stone Age people
8:37
and it says Neolithic. Britain's
8:40
used primitive tools Primitive Key
8:42
word. Which
8:44
may. Have been.
8:47
Speculation. Guessing which
8:49
may have been fast
8:52
send out of. The
8:54
yeah. And plus. Send
8:58
out of. The. Yeah
9:00
and plus know if you
9:02
don't know fastened. Okay,
9:04
let's learn it today. Fastened means
9:06
you made some thing. It's got
9:09
nothing to do with fashion. Felt
9:11
fashioned of type. You can just. Do
9:13
the was as self because you
9:16
know made out of. You know
9:18
made out of is a synonym
9:20
for made from. So the answer
9:22
is. The yeah. It's
9:24
less now. You might not know
9:26
what that means. And.
9:29
But you'll be able to guess
9:32
it because of the construction. Of
9:34
the symptoms. In
9:37
answer is. The yeah. And
9:39
plus it's an interesting Lanka
9:41
This Christmas regen the. On.
9:45
Things. like laugh i just read
9:48
today that the reindeer must
9:50
be female because the mail
9:52
the is actually lose their
9:54
antlers in winter time so
9:56
against reading about things like
9:58
that i saw it on
10:00
Instagram, little things
10:02
like that bit by bit will
10:04
help you develop your vocabulary. So
10:08
the answer for number one is
10:10
Dear Antlers. The
10:13
second gap, something
10:15
may have been arranged
10:17
in deep pits inside
10:20
the circle. Again
10:22
they're guessing, they don't know, they
10:24
may have been arranged. Well
10:26
what? I'm thinking, well
10:28
the stones may have been arranged.
10:31
Let's have a look, it says,
10:34
deep pits dating back
10:37
to that era and
10:39
located within the circle, so
10:42
synonym inside the circle, may
10:45
have once held a
10:47
ring of timber posts.
10:51
May have held a ring of
10:54
timber posts. So
10:56
that is the answer, a ring of
10:58
timber posts, but we can only choose
11:00
two words, so the
11:03
answer is timber,
11:05
meaning wood and
11:07
posts. That has come up a
11:10
fair few times
11:12
I'm sure. Alright,
11:16
now they move on, talking
11:19
about theories about the transportation.
11:21
How did they move these
11:23
huge massive blue
11:26
stones? There are
11:28
two theories, archaeological and
11:31
geological. So we
11:33
know the word archaeology is
11:36
really important in IELTS and
11:41
we're looking for something to do with
11:43
building and it says
11:45
builders used something to
11:48
make sledges and rollers.
11:52
So what did they use to
11:55
make sledges and
11:57
rollers to pull these huge
14:00
oxen. Now, hauled
14:03
is the important word. I'll tell
14:06
you why in a minute. Hauled
14:08
by oxen. O-X-E-N. So
14:13
oxen is
14:16
plural meaning any
14:19
cattle. Cattle is a cow
14:22
over four years of age
14:24
that has been trained to
14:26
do work. So that's
14:29
something I've learned today. That's what the
14:31
difference between an ox or
14:33
a cow is. Ox is
14:35
singular. Oxen is
14:38
plural and as we know
14:40
I love
14:43
irregular plurals. Now, if
14:45
you don't know what oxen is, it's
14:47
a tricky one. Maybe
14:49
the word hauled would
14:52
help you meaning pulled. And
14:55
the reason why I'm highlighting it
14:57
here is that I've been working
14:59
on how to describe a process
15:02
on the website and I noticed
15:06
how to make energy from coal
15:08
used hauled quite a lot
15:11
because you haul something heavy
15:13
from the ground and it's
15:16
quite a useful word I think and it here it's
15:19
essential to get this one right. So
15:22
number four is
15:24
oxen. Number
15:27
five they were brought from
15:29
Wales, my country Wales, so
15:32
they think that they pulled
15:34
these big giant stones
15:36
from Wales by... Now
15:40
this is a geological theory,
15:43
something to do with
15:45
the geology of the country
15:47
and it says in
15:50
the 1970s geologists
15:54
added their voices to
15:56
the debate over how Stonehenge came in to
16:00
being. Challenging
16:03
the classic image
16:05
of industrious builders
16:07
pushing or hauling
16:10
or rolling stones
16:12
from far away whales,
16:15
some scientists have suggested
16:19
that it was glaciers, not
16:22
humans that carried the
16:24
blue stones to Salisbury
16:26
Plain. Glaciers,
16:29
or glaciers, I think there's American
16:31
and British different pronunciation,
16:34
the spelling is G-L-A-C-I-E-R-S.
16:39
And that is the answer. And why
16:41
do they love it? We had this
16:45
a couple of weeks ago with science because
16:47
it's one of those words that
16:50
are quite difficult to spell
16:52
because of the C-I-E spelling
16:56
rule, you know, I before E
16:58
except after C, which
17:01
is broken so many times. Now, of
17:03
course, you just have to copy it
17:05
here. But even in copying
17:08
something, you can make mistakes. So
17:10
that's why they've chosen it. It's
17:14
glacier or glacier. Okay,
17:19
then where are
17:21
we? We're on question number six.
17:25
Yes. So question number six is about
17:28
the builders and
17:30
the heading is builders. And it
17:33
says a theory arose in the
17:35
17th century that
17:37
its builders were
17:40
Celtic something.
17:44
Well, we know builders must be people. So
17:47
they're obviously Celtic people. So
17:50
that's the kind of word I'm looking for.
17:54
And I'm going straight to
17:56
the point where it's well
17:58
to the paragraph. which
18:01
starts with a question and
18:03
it says, but
18:05
who were the builders
18:07
of Stonehenge? In
18:10
the 17th century, archaeologist
18:12
John Aubrey made the
18:15
claim that Stonehenge was
18:17
the work of druids
18:21
and that's it, that's the answer.
18:23
I don't know if druid is
18:25
a familiar word for you, but
18:27
it explains it. It says who
18:29
had important religious, judicial and political
18:31
roles in Celtic society.
18:34
So the Celtic there
18:37
is quite easy to find because
18:39
they've put, well, it's both
18:41
capital letters, A capital
18:43
letter for Celtic and there
18:45
are two asterisks to
18:47
explain Celtic. The Celts were
18:50
people who lived in Britain and
18:52
northwest Europe during the Iron Age.
18:56
Easy to find Celtic and
18:59
you have to work out from the sentence
19:01
that druids, plural,
19:05
is the answer. Finally,
19:08
the last two gaps are
19:10
about the purpose and
19:12
it says many experts agree it
19:15
has been used as a sensing
19:18
thing. A
19:21
little danger here, I actually
19:23
read the text out of
19:25
interest before I looked at the
19:28
questions. I don't normally do
19:30
that. I go to the questions first
19:33
and when I looked at question seven,
19:36
I thought, I thought, oh,
19:38
I'm sure I saw something that it
19:41
was used as a kind of healing
19:43
site. And if you
19:45
scroll right down to the bottom, it
19:47
says it was considered a place of
19:49
healing and
19:53
the bluestones were thought to have curative
19:55
powers, healing powers. So I thought,
19:57
oh, that's a bit odd. because
20:00
that's right at the bottom. And
20:03
then I went back to the text, and
20:06
the answer is not healing.
20:08
So remember, just keep in
20:11
order, don't jump around. But
20:14
this one actually is quite difficult
20:16
to find. We're looking for something
20:18
which says, many experts agree. The
20:21
next paragraph in order
20:23
says, many modern historians
20:25
and archeologists now agree
20:29
that several distinct tribes of
20:32
people contributed to Stonehenge.
20:35
But that's not giving us the answer.
20:37
You have to actually read a little
20:39
bit further on. And it
20:41
says, in the
20:43
next paragraph, while there
20:46
is consensus among the
20:48
majority of modern scholars.
20:51
So consensus means
20:54
the people agree. And
20:58
there's consensus that Stonehenge once
21:00
served the function
21:02
of burial ground.
21:06
And that is our answer. It was used as a burial site. Now,
21:13
the word site might actually help you because
21:16
burial site is a collocation. And
21:19
again, we had this word, exactly
21:22
the same, exactly the same
21:25
context. In
21:27
Beyond the Blue Horizon,
21:30
it was talking about the Lapitas, I
21:32
think a group of people. And
21:34
they talked about a burial site.
21:38
Burial site, it
21:40
looks like burial, B-U-R-I-A-L. And
21:44
I say burial, but if you check it,
21:47
pronunciation is burial
21:50
site. And that's important because it comes
21:52
up in the listening quite a lot.
21:55
Anyway, it was a burial site
21:57
where they buried people. And that
21:59
is... answer number seven.
22:03
Last one number eight starts in the 1960s
22:05
so you can quickly
22:07
find that almost the last
22:10
paragraph in the 1960s it was
22:12
suggested that
22:14
it worked
22:17
as a kind of something
22:19
and this is pretty easy
22:22
because of the synonyms it
22:25
says the astronomer Gerald
22:27
Hawkins suggested that the
22:29
stones operated as a
22:33
form of calendar.
22:36
Calendar is the word then and
22:38
you can get that from the
22:40
synonyms operated as worked
22:42
as a form of
22:44
a kind of and
22:47
calendar is the answer. Okay
22:49
let's move on we've basically read
22:52
most of that text the summary
22:54
is spread out because it's a
22:56
short well shorter kind
22:59
of text it's a passage
23:01
one then that kind
23:03
of note form gap fill summary
23:06
is spread throughout the text it still
23:08
goes in order but
23:10
now you're gonna have to go back
23:13
to look for the true false not
23:15
given questions there
23:17
are signals for you
23:19
there are five questions
23:22
in total question
23:24
nine says during the third
23:26
phase of construction so you
23:28
know you've got to jump
23:30
back to the bit about
23:32
the building and one
23:34
paragraph starts the third phase
23:37
of construction and
23:40
the question is this sandstone
23:43
slabs were placed in
23:45
both the outer areas
23:47
and the middle of
23:50
the Stonehenge site. Now
23:54
with true false not given questions
23:56
people often say Oh underline the
23:59
key with words. And
24:01
the trouble is, all of
24:04
these words are key here and I
24:06
think people miss the real key word.
24:10
The real key word and it
24:13
stood out for me immediately is
24:16
both because
24:19
the question writers have to
24:21
choose a word
24:25
which could be
24:27
wrong. How can I
24:29
explain that? I mean, very often like
24:32
false questions are about quantity.
24:37
So where it says both areas
24:39
it's easy to write
24:42
a false statement
24:44
like you could say, oh only one
24:46
of the areas. So I'm
24:49
looking for something which says that they
24:51
put these slabs in
24:54
both outer and
24:56
inner parts of
24:58
the state. And then
25:01
the answer is obvious and
25:03
it says the slabs were
25:05
arranged into an outer ring
25:07
and some were put in the
25:09
centre. So both
25:11
areas the answer is
25:14
true but it's only the word
25:16
both that helps me there. Nothing
25:18
else. I knew what I
25:20
was looking for. Question
25:23
10, there is scientific
25:25
proof that the
25:27
blue stones stood in the
25:29
same spot until
25:32
1600 BCE.
25:34
Now the
25:37
keywords here for me are
25:40
scientific proof means it's 100% true and the
25:42
same spot is also a 100% word meaning
25:44
the same, exactly the same and
25:48
it's exactly
25:55
true. For me that
25:57
is going to be a false answer because it's
26:01
it's too strict, it's too kind
26:03
of adamant. And
26:06
when you look it says, radiocarbon
26:09
dating, okay that's your
26:12
scientific proof, has
26:14
revealed that
26:16
work continued until 1600,
26:20
so I think great, but
26:23
the blue stones were
26:26
repositioned multiple times. So
26:29
they didn't stand in the
26:31
same spot, they
26:33
were repositioned multiple
26:35
times. And that's
26:38
false. So the opposite of
26:40
the same spot is no, they
26:42
were moved around. And that
26:44
really I could guess that from
26:46
the question. Question
26:50
11, it's about John Aubrey.
26:52
So you can quickly find
26:55
his name right
26:57
after, right in order. And
27:00
it says, his claim
27:03
about Stonehenge was
27:05
supported by 20th
27:07
century findings. So
27:11
basically this is your academic language.
27:14
He claimed something in
27:17
the 17th century. And
27:19
then in the 20th century they
27:21
found evidence that supported
27:23
his claim, that suggested that he
27:26
was right. Now
27:28
this seems to me a very kind
27:30
of sensible statement. It's not
27:33
too extreme. There's not something
27:38
like numerical, a number that's
27:40
either right or wrong. So
27:43
what do they say? Okay, 17th
27:46
century, John Aubrey claimed that
27:49
Stonehenge was the work of
27:51
druids. His
27:54
theory was popularized, so I'm thinking, oh
27:56
okay, he was right. even
28:00
today people who
28:03
call themselves druids go to Stonehenge
28:05
for the solstice. So I'm thinking
28:07
all right he was right. However,
28:09
so there's your answer,
28:11
however in the mid
28:13
20th century again
28:17
radiocarbon dating evidence
28:19
demonstrated Stonehenge
28:22
stood for more than 1000 years
28:25
before the Celts
28:28
came to the region. So
28:31
Stonehenge was there
28:33
before the Celts and
28:35
the druids. So actually John
28:38
Aubrey was wrong. So question
28:41
11, no it's
28:43
the opposite of supported.
28:45
They found that he was wrong. So
28:48
11 is false. Question
28:54
12. Objects
28:59
discovered at Stonehenge seem
29:01
to indicate that it
29:03
was constructed by a
29:05
number of different groups
29:07
of people. Now
29:10
look at the hedging here, seem
29:12
to indicate nothing too extreme
29:16
and what would you guess? Do
29:18
you think only one group of people built
29:20
it over thousands of
29:22
years? Let's
29:24
see what it says. So
29:26
we're looking for some objects and
29:29
it says next paragraph
29:31
many modern historians and
29:34
archaeologists now agree that
29:36
several distinct tribes of
29:39
people contributed to Stonehenge.
29:42
That's it. Several tribes
29:44
of people distinct synonym
29:47
for different groups and
29:49
you can see the synonyms are exactly
29:51
the same. So then it's going to be
29:54
true, it's true. So
29:56
far we've had two trues and two
29:58
false. So
30:01
last one, thirteen
30:03
criticism. Of Gerald
30:05
Hawkins theory about Stonehenge
30:07
has come mainly from
30:09
as the Astronomers. So
30:11
what do we know
30:14
about Gerald Hawkins He
30:16
is in the last
30:18
paragraph. He is
30:20
an astronomer and he
30:22
suggested. That the stones
30:24
were a kind of calendar. So
30:28
that was his theory. On
30:31
it says while his theory
30:33
has received a considerable amount
30:36
of attention, Over. The
30:38
decades. Critics. Maintain.
30:41
That. Stonehenge is builders
30:44
probably lacked the
30:46
knowledge necessary to
30:48
predict event hope.
30:50
We. Know he's got critics. People
30:52
criticize his theory so they
30:55
think is probably wrong. But
30:58
the question and thirty is where.
31:01
Did. Those critics come from.
31:04
The question was has come mainly
31:06
from other astronomers. Well,
31:08
we don't know if they were
31:11
restaurant astronomers. Maybe they were. Maybe
31:13
they weren't. So. The answer
31:15
is for thirteen, not given.
31:20
So. I hope from
31:23
listening to that you
31:25
got a kinds of
31:27
feel for this academic
31:29
language. I've. Taken.
31:31
It all out and put it on a
31:33
document. So you can finish your
31:35
don't listen anymore if you're tired
31:38
and. Put
31:41
it into groups and one of
31:43
the groups is assumption. When
31:46
you assume something, you you have
31:48
to. Use. Evidence
31:50
and make guesses even though
31:52
you're not a hundred percent
31:54
sure. And look at the
31:56
language they use am the
31:59
tools may. In. Made.
32:01
Out of deer antlers. The.
32:04
Tape pits may have
32:06
held a ring of
32:08
timber posts. According
32:11
to some scholars, it's all
32:13
a lot of hedging. They
32:16
may have co would
32:18
each stone toad mean
32:20
and pulled the stones.
32:23
Oh. There are fifty stones now,
32:25
but it may have contained many
32:28
more. And
32:31
other things like add.
32:33
the first stage was
32:35
achieved by neolithic agrarian
32:38
who were likely to
32:40
have been. It's really
32:42
complex language. And
32:45
later it is believed
32:47
all of the as
32:49
they believe they think
32:51
and a movie. Now
32:54
to the language of
32:56
theories archaeologists believe. According
32:58
to some scholars, it
33:00
is thought according to
33:02
one longstanding theory. More
33:05
recent archaeological hypotheses. Challenging
33:08
the classic image
33:10
of builders some
33:12
scientists have suggested.
33:15
Many archaeologists remain skeptical.
33:17
Skepticals a good word.
33:21
Having doubts or reservations?
33:23
Skeptical about this theory.
33:26
John old be made
33:29
the plane again. that's
33:31
his opinion and. This
33:34
theory. Was. Popularized.
33:37
Meaning of this agreed. Oh.
33:40
Spread it, And.
33:43
Burrow. The tool. Artifacts
33:47
seem to support
33:49
this hypothesis. Some.
33:52
Believe they were immigrants,
33:54
while others maintain they
33:56
were probably Native Britain's.
34:00
is consensus among the
34:02
majority of scholars. A
34:05
lot of hedging there. The
34:08
astronomer Gerald Hawkins
34:10
suggested that it was a
34:13
calendar. While
34:15
his theory has
34:17
received attention, critics maintain,
34:20
maintain means they strongly
34:23
believe that he's wrong,
34:25
that they probably lacked the knowledge.
34:27
This just goes on and on,
34:29
sorry, it just goes on and
34:31
on. All of this language British
34:34
archaeologists speculate,
34:37
guessing it was a place of healing,
34:40
perhaps because there
34:43
is scientific proof. And
34:46
finally John Obies' claim
34:48
was supported by 20th
34:51
century findings, findings,
34:55
research, results, we've had that
34:57
so often. And
35:01
the final thing is all
35:04
about those ayas words like hall
35:07
and made
35:09
of and made
35:12
from. Okay, that
35:15
was a long one but useful, I hope.
35:18
And I'd like to wish you
35:20
a very happy winter
35:22
break. Thank you for
35:24
listening, thank you for your support during
35:28
2023 and I look forward to working
35:31
with you again in 2024. If
35:33
you have any requests, please
35:36
let me know. That's all for now.
35:38
Thanks again, bye-bye.
