This podcast isn't only intended for those studying for the GRE or SAT, but also for people who enjoy learning, and especially those who want to improve their English skills.

| 0:00.0 | Hello there. It's officially July now as of yesterday and if you're in America it's almost |
| 0:07.8 | Independence Day that's on Tuesday and if you are in America you may be taking off too, so you can have an extra long weekend. |
| 0:15.6 | At least that's what I'm doing. |
| 0:18.0 | So happy, almost Independence Day, and for everyone who's not in America, which is also a lot of people |
| 0:24.5 | listening, it's the start of your week probably right now. So we need a super good |
| 0:30.4 | quote to start us off today, but before we get into quotes let's review the |
| 0:35.4 | words from episode 76. So last time we had precursor irresolute, umbrage and stipulates. Precursor that is a person or a thing that comes |
| 0:48.8 | before another of the same kind. |
| 0:51.5 | So you could say a forerunner or a predecessor. |
| 0:55.8 | Irresolute, that means being uncertain or showing hesitancy being indecisive. |

| 1:10.0 | And when it's used, it's always used by saying taking umbrage so I took |

| 1:36.5 | was being made. Okay then so that was 76 now our episode, it's Monday and like I promised you guys we have a great |
| 1:46.5 | quote today and this is from the amazing writer Jack Carowac. The only people for me are the mad ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, |
| 1:59.3 | mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, |
| 2:08.1 | but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle |
| 2:17.5 | you see the blue centre light pop and everybody goes wow |
| 2:22.3 | so and everybody goes wow. |
| 2:36.1 | So my interpretation of a Jack Kerouac quote there and that's from a book on the road and really I have to say this now before we get started if you are someone that hasn't read on the road but you're a person who's |
| 2:41.6 | curious about life and writing and different ways of living your life. |
| 2:49.0 | And maybe someone who loves travel or wants to see the world, you have to read on the road. |
