If you had three wishes, what would you wish for? Can money buy most wishes? What is true happiness? Check out the video below to improve your English listening skills and learn key vocabulary from this conversation class on 'wishes'. You will hear my answers to these three questions, and I also have a question for you at the end of the video... so stay until the end!

I also share an inspiring sign I saw in a neighbour's garden the other day. I took a photo and just had to share it with you.
