Ashley Thompson and Dan Novak bring you the Learning English Podcast for Monday, November 13. On the episode, they look at two important space research stories, dry conditions in the Middle East and have a conversation about the expansion and contraction of the universe. Later, Jill Robbins and Andrew Smith present the Lesson of the Day related to the Halloween episode of "Let's Learn English."

On the podcast for Monday, November 13, Ashley Thompson and Dan Novak present the stories. First, John Russell tells the listeners about scientists who believe rocks that shoot up from the Earth's core during volcanic eruptions might actually be connected to a crash between Earth and another planet billions of years ago. Then, Gregory Stachel joins the program to tell about the problems people who live in countries such as Syria, Iraq and Iran are having due to extremely dry weather. A study about the conditions says the drought would not have happened without human-caused climate change. In the next part of the program, Jill Robbins discusses the new findings space researchers have been able to consider because of advance space telescopes. Then, she joins Dan for a conversation about the expanding and contracting forces working in space.

Finally, Jill and Andrew Smith present the lesson of the day. They look at words we use in English to express certainty and uncertainty. They use an episode of the video series "Let's Learn English" where Anna is deciding what to dress as for the autumn holiday of Halloween to express the ideas. Then, Ashley and Dan close the show.
