Sad? It's absolutely disgusting. Yet more violence against women by men.

Very sad news. Olympic athlete Rebecca Cheptegei has died days after being doused in petrol and set on fire by a former boyfriend, a Ugandan official says.

.@Team_English1 Are you an expert in a particular area of Literature? Can you record a short (30 minute) session on it? If so, I need you! I want to run mini lectures for my A-level students and I'd love to build a bank of them. Please let me know if you can help!
