A2ElementaryFebruary 12, 202619 min

Today we're going to talk about Valentine's Day. But don't worry — this is not going to be a boring episode about chocolates, roses, and red hearts everywhere. Let me ask you something. Is Valentine's Day really about love? Or is it about pressure? Pressure to buy a gift. Pressure to be romantic. Pressure to post something on Instagram. Pressure to prove that your relationship is perfect. Get the transcript on my website: https://speakenglishpodcast.com/372-is-valentines-day-really-about-love
