Certain phrase origins article

   As recommended by my A2 Language teacher, I looked up this article from The Mirror, published on the 7th September 2013. I always find it very interesting learning about the origins of language and I hope it will be useful for future reference.

First fortnight of A2

   So far in the first couple of weeks of A2 English Language I've come up with a much more achievable investigation plan: Comparing the language and linguistic choices between three generations. I've written up the Introduction/Methodology draft and handed it in, now I just need to finish transcribing my recorded data and I will be ready to start analysing.
