Welcome to Easy Stories in English, the podcast that will take your English from okay to good and from good to great.
I am Ariel Goodbody your host for this show and today's episode is a conversation about giving up sugar for Lent.
Now you may have just heard a little noise.
Do you hear that?
Kind of a metallic noise.
Well, if you're listening and not watching the podcast on YouTube, I am wearing some very big earrings.
I bought these earrings yesterday.
They're shaped like the peace sign.
You know the peace symbol that was popular in the 1960s.
I think it was the 60s, not the 70s.
And it's kind of round and it has a line down the middle and then two diagonal lines going from the center to the outside.
It's a big circle with some lines through it.
Anyway, I've got these cool peace earrings.
So I thought, where better to show them off than my podcast?
Where better to debut them to show them for the first time than my podcast?
So here they are.
So if you can't see them, just imagine some big chunky hoop earrings, or go to the YouTube channel and watch there.
So what is Lent?
Lent L-E-N-T is the 40 days before Easter.
Easter is probably the most popular Christian holiday in the year.
