End of Unit 21
The unit comes to an end! We hope you've enjoyed learning about indirect questions. You followed Amith on his first day and found out about politeness in a French cafe. You learnt how to make indirect questions to be much more formal and polite. You also heard episode one of our new drama, Alice In Wonderland.
Do you think you will join us in Unit 22?
