Hi, I'm Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show. I thought I'd start out today by telling you a bit about what's coming up on the show. The studio tdes crew recently visited a city called Hamilton in New Zealand. And while we were there we interviewed some people in the street and asked them what they thought of the city. So that's coming up in Question Time this week. And next week on The Daily English Show we have a guest. We've had a bit of a break from Monday Guest recently … but I am very excited to announce that we're starting that again. And our guest next week is a New Zealander who was born in India.
