IELTS Reading: Crows and tools 

This is my walkthrough of an Academic Passage 1 about Stonehenge.
Keyword before you listen:
‘Winter solstice’ - the shortest day of the year (December 21st)
Meaning: to stand still
The solstice (combining the Latin words sol for “sun” and ‘sistere’ for “stand still”) is the point where the Sun appears to reach either its highest or lowest point in the sky for the year and thus ancient astronomers came to know the day as one where the sun appeared to stand still.
