About this episode

Thirty-five years ago the space shuttle, Challenger malfunctioned on lift-off. Millions of American school children watched as the event happened live. I was not one of them, but I remember the exact moment my fourth-grade teacher told me of the disaster. It is a day I will never forget. I tell that story in this lesson in slow, easy to understand English to help you improve your English Comprehension.   In addition to story telling, I also mention some English phrasal verbs like blast off and lift off and talk about some American English vocabulary words recess and attempted assassination.   

Remembering Christa McAuliffe, Gregory Jarvis, Judith Resnik, Dick Scobee, Ronald McNair, Mike Smith, and Ellison Onizuka.
