## Resource

Today I have another little history episode for you because we are going to answer a question that has probably crossed your mind if you have ever travelled abroad, specifically to Great Britain. Why do people in Britain drive on the left while most of the world drives on the right? And maybe an even more interesting question: if almost everyone drives on the right today, why didn’t Britain change as well? Why do they have to be like this and confuse everyone who travels there as a tourist, am I right? ⭐ Přepis a slovíčka : TADY ⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Pokud máš zájem o spolupráci, napiš mi zprávu na Instagram :) Nabízím konverzační lekce a jazykový coaching.
