Mexico hit with 3 big earthquakes | Apple’s new iPhone X | English expressions "bundled up" and "comb through"
A series of three large earthquakes hit Mexico in the last month, including the strongest earthquake to hit the country in over a century.
The new features of the iPhone X are impressive, including what is possibly the newest word in the English language, “animoji.”
In the second half of the program, we review examples of the English phrases “bundled up” and “comb through.”
