I'm back, guys! I'm sorry for missing last week's episode. Life got a bit hectic, and got a bit of a cold, but rest assured, I'm back on track and ready to dive into another exciting session!

One of the frequently asked questions I get is about Australian TV shows worth watching. So, I'm giving you 8 Australian TV shows that will not only entertain you but also expose you to the rich Australian culture. From gripping dramas to hilarious comedies, these shows offer a diverse range of storytelling. Trust me, you won't want to miss them!

We'll also be talking about the English expression "to have an axe to grind." Ever wondered where this phrase comes from? I'll delve into its origin and provide examples of how it can be used in day-today conversations. Whether it's expressing disagreements with colleagues, dealing with jealousy in personal relationships, or handling unfair situations, this expression has got you covered!

We'll also take a moment to discuss a grammar point: contracting "have" to "have got." I'll explain when and how to use this contraction, to make sure you feel confident in your English language skills. Learning grammar can be fun, and I'm here to make sure you enjoy the process!

And lastly, for our Listening Exercise, I've got you a clip from the popular Australian TV show, "Kath and Kim"! Sharpen your ears in this listening exercise to put your comprehension skills to the test. Remember, you can always play and repeat!

My aim is to make learning English an enjoyable and rewarding experience for you guys. So, keep listening, keep learning, and keep exploring the English language!
