Hi everyone! Thank you for tuning in to Time for English.

The 2020 Summer Games are just about a year away.

The first ticket lottery was held in May, and the second-chance round in early August, for those who failed to win any tickets in the first round. I think the results of the additional lottery will be announced this coming Wednesday.

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of sports, and I haven't applied for the ticket lottery. But if you have, you must be feeling anxious about the results right at this very moment. Well, in two days, you'll find out.

Just in case, the word "lottery" in this case means a system used to decide who will get or be given something by choosing names or numbers by chance. In some countries, state or local governments raise funds by selling lottery tickets.

Now, would you like to practice together? Please repeat after me:

Have you applied for the ticket lottery?
