When I was 69 I won an award on art; it was a paint of my grandchildren playing in the park and the train passing behind them. I loved that paint so much and had all my faith on it. I knew that something special had to happen, and it was. After that award many good events took place. I think I felt blessed by God because of how I love my grandchildren. I live in Argentina, and I also loved your story. Thanks so much.

Hi, Jacquie.

[@pierre5307]

I like your stories. Especially the more advanced ones. One thing is the rather confusing level explanation "Level 4 - 5 | C1". According to the CEFR standard (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) C1 is level 7-8. Could you explain?

[@LovelyEnglishStories]

Hi Pierre, thanks for watching! The simple answer is that some of our earlier videos (like this one) are labelled incorrectly. We need to go through them and update them. This is a C1 story so you’re right the level needs to be a little higher. A 4-5 is more intermediate.

Hello! I want to tell me this meaning (Anticipation , blur , hone)

[@LovelyEnglishStories]

Hello, Okay, let's see... Anticipation - Is feeling excited about something that you are waiting to happen Blur - When something is not clear - this might be a memory, or something you cannot physically see clearly Hone - To hone in on something is to focus on it Hope this helps :)
