The news is a consistent source of entertainment, knowledge and discovery that never ceases to exist and always comes out with more and more material each day. Because it plays such a vital part in our lives and is so important to keep up with, it is without a doubt a piece of your everyday routine that can’t go ignored.
Whether it is to understand the ramifications of recent legislation passed, to hear about recent events and grasp the potential consequences to your country, or simply hear about what is happening in other countries in order to compare them to what’s happening in yours, the news is certainly a staple in our lives and the most consistent way to get information.
This is why Scrambled Eggs has decided to unite two of your biggest worlds: learning English and keeping up with what is happening in the world. We hope our challenging daily exercises, composed of listening, vocabulary and comprehension exercises in English, will satisfy both of those above worlds in a satisfactory and also entertaining way.

THE FRONT LINE – BROADCASTED – FEATURED – RAISED – TO GIVE BACK – UPBEAT – LINE-UP – JOINED FORCES – SPLIT – PROCEEDS – HEADLINERS
- Some of the biggest names in music (joined forces) to celebrate healthcare workers in a globally televised concert. Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney and Billie Eilish were among more than 100 artists who performed songs from their living rooms, due to the coronavirus lockdown. The eight-hour show also (featured) real-life stories from those on (the front line) of the fight against Covid-19. Dedicating the show to first responders and medical staff, she said the participating musicians all wanted " (to give back) a little bit of the kindness that you've given us". She went on to play an (upbeat) version of Charlie Chaplin's Smile, adding: "We want to overcome this pandemic and we know you do too." Paul McCartney joined the programme shortly after, calling health-care workers "the real heroes" of the crisis and remembering his mother Mary, who was a nurse during the Second World War. The concert was (split) into two parts, with a six-hour "pre-show" (broadcasted) on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube; followed by the main two-hour (headliners), simultaneously shown by all three of the main US TV networks. The event (raised) almost $128m (£102m), with (proceeds) going towards vaccine development and local and regional charities, organiser Global Citizen said. Lady Gaga, who curated the (line-up), called the event "a love letter to the world".
