Hello and welcome to Learning English, a daily 30-minute program from the Voice of America.

I'm Anna Mateo.

And I'm Brian Lynn. This program is aimed at English learners, so we speak slowly, and we use words and phrases

especially written for people learning English.

Today on the show, Anna Mateo brings us words and their stories.

She discusses what it means to have a bird's eye view of something and explains how to use the term eagle eyes.

Next up is the weekly science report. This time we examine a

recent discovery made by the European Space Agency's Euclid Space Telescope. Researchers say

the instrument identified a rare Einstein ring in a nearby galaxy

for the very first time. Then Andrew Smith has a new report from our series All About America.

He examines Yellowstone National Park in the American

West. Andrew reports that when it was first established in 1872, Yellowstone became the world's

national park.

And finally, Jill Robbins and Andrew Smith present the lesson of the day.

As always, they look back at an episode of Let's Learn English with Anna Mateo.

This week they discuss superlatives.

A superlative describes something with the highest degree of a particular quality.

Okay, let's get started with words and their stories.

And now, words and their stories.

Flying over everything at such a height gives them a rare ability to see many things.
