Synopsis

In this episode, you will learn about the yellow fever outbreak in Brazil and notice how the present perfect and simple past are used in the news. I have used real newspaper and magazine excerpts about the yellow fever Brazil to exemplify how the language is used in a natural way. If you haven't tuned in to episode 5, please go back and do so first as you will learn the grammar explanation (present perfect and simple past) needed for you to best take advantage of this episode.
