news from CNN

The new I listened is called “Where are the Air Marshals?” and it’s about the absence of this type of police. His job consists on Project people who travel by plane and prevent terrorist attacks. They complain because there aren’t enough to guarantee people’s security. The interviewer insists to the policemen how are being interviewed which is the percentage of flies which are really covered by them. The policemen answer that it’s impossible to say, but only a few of them.

Three expressions:

Every single fly: cada vol concret
It’s such a small percentage: es només un petit percentage
I don’t think you’d be far from the mark: no crec que estaries lluny de la xifra.



The new I listened is called “Angry at the airlines” and it’s about the retards on the airports. A lot of people are complaining because they arrive on time, but the plane is late. Some airlines arrive on time, but most of them don’t arrive on time. Curiously, the most punctual airline is a low cost airline. Some experts considered that airlines don’t do anything to improve their services

Three expressions:

On time: a temps
Worst: pitjor
Baggage: equipatge
