Hello, lovely people of the world. I'm Maria. And I'm Rory, and we are the host of the

using gorgeous grammar

and high-level vocabulary. Rory, I've seen that your writing part one on maps has just been

don't we? I don't know if I can put an exact number on it. Maybe I use it once a week, perhaps.

When was the last time you traveled by public transport?

That was on Monday.

I took the blue line into the center of Moscow.

I had a meeting.
