6 minute English - Burns Night

-
 

Tonight is Burns Night in Scotland. It is when we celebrate the life of Robert Burns, our national poet. He wrote the words to Auld Lang Syne.

Listen to the discussion on this important day in Scotland.

It is taken from 6 minute English from the BBC. where you can listen to discussion on many interesting topics.


Read here about the American ban on haggis. We should boycott Macdonalds until they lift it.

Funny to discover what a Burns Supper means. Haggis must be appetizing.

Ángel, I don't think haggis looks very appetizing but I actually quite like it.

Montse, I had the opportunity to attend a Burns Night event last Saturday but I turned down the invitation. It might have been fun but I didn't feel like going.
