The reign of Queen Elizabeth II ends. Today in our English listening lesson we talk about why Queen Elizabeth II was so popular and we say our goodbyes.

Few  people can lay claim to being able to shape history, and fewer still  can lay claim to being able to shape history for so long. I know history  has a habit of repeating itself, but I feel it is unlikely that we see  another Queen Elizabeth II in the twilight years of the British commonwealth.

Modern  media shone a bright light on the British monarchy in recent years, and  much of what we have discovered has been uncomfortable to watch.  However, not so for Queen Elizabeth II and her mother. These ladies were  different, dignified with a strong sense of duty to the British  commonwealth. We will miss them both.
