Protest! | Upper-Intermediate | EnglishPod | Episode 018

Join Marco and Erica on EnglishPod for a fiery lesson on protests surrounding government bailouts. This episode dives into the language of dissent with key terms like "bankrupt" and "bailout," set against the backdrop of a live news report from Washington, D.C., where citizens protest against a proposed financial rescue of the auto industry. The dialogue captures the outrage and sense of injustice felt by the protesters. Marco and Erica explore expressions of anger and disagreement, including phrases like "injustice," "outrage," and "have the nerve to," alongside a grammar breakdown of the present perfect tense to express actions from the past that continue into the present. They debate the ethics and implications of bailouts, encouraging listeners to share their thoughts on englishpod.com, where more resources on this current event are available.
