[Part 1 of 3] Luke reads extracts from The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. This is a classic bit of science fiction writing from the Victorian era, with some thrilling passages and scary descriptions. It’s one of my favourite books of all time and I hope you enjoy it too and learn some English from it.

  • Mam, you're the best teacher in the whole world. I've learned a lot in the last months listening to your podcast. I found your channel here and then I went to Spotify and actually I'm at the episode 130 and I'll listen all of them. It's the most enjoyable podcast I've ever heard. Thanks for your job, Luke.
