734. The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells [Part 1] Learn English with Stories

[Part 1 of 3] Luke reads extracts from The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. This is a classic bit of science fiction writing from the Victorian era, with some thrilling passages and scary descriptions. It’s one of my favourite books of all time and I hope you enjoy it too and learn some English from it.

[@mohamedlaga9129]

Why don't you, Luke, keep on doing such an interesting thing as I have learnt so much from this nice podcast.

[@jurgenschur9210]

I have not very much understood, but the sentence "And early in the twenties century came the great disillusionment." sounds brand actual. Now, this disillusionment came one hundred years later for this generation.

[@jurgenschur9210]

When was a child, I read the book "The time machine", It was so interesting and a little sad, I believe the girlfriend from the other time died. I remember on the big wheel, where people fell off and no one had noticed or was interested in it.

[@DAWNOFHIM]

You're the only one I've found on youtube who does these vidoes! Please keep up with these; they're extremely helpful

[@user-rh1zn2ly6c]

[@oak_leaf]

I'm very glad you've chosen that particular author to read - I've got one of his books and as sci-fi is not my ultimate genre I couldn't make myself read "The time machine". Now I've got to know a bit of his style and possibly it may encourage me to reach for it. Thanks again for your work! :)

[@yanisapepperx5959]

Very detailed, very clear and your explanations are supper easy to follow and understand!

[@shirleycalcagno6290]
