In this week's Premier Skills English Podcast, we return to the second part of our Captain Blade story. Will Captain Blade get away with her evil plan? Can Jack and RIch save the day? The language focus is on idioms and idiomatic phrases we use in the roleplay. This week's task is to pretend you are a police suspect and answer the police's questions. Don't forget to listen to the end of the podcast because we have a new football phrase for you to guess.
