The prime minister crammed a lot of work over her short career therefore she had a burnout and decided to resign her job and bowed out with an emotional speech.
I think its the best learning English class on YouTube. Thanks a lot for this useful information .
Good example for morality in the cosmos
Thank you.
Over six years in the office, Jacinda Ardern crammed a lot of work, eventually leading to burnout and exhaustion. Thereby, last week she made her bow with an emotional speech as the Prime Minister of New Zealand. I believe she will be missed for how she led the country to overcome many challenges.
Awesome lessons thanks BBC its really helpful for me keep it up!
4:04 I've read that make a bow means to appear for the first time in some role or position and now you say the contrary, i'm confused
two adjectives for this video: excellent approach and interesting content! congratulations!

I've gotten this news from this video befor I read BBC news.
It made me surprised🤯
I do watch News Review every week!😄
Amazing! Thanks!
Ardern was pushed out because she forced millions into poverty by ordering insane lockdowns and injection mandates. Now that it becomes clear that the injections are causing serious medical problems, she is hated by the people.
I remember back in school, those of us who were good at cramming school work are the ones that did well in exams
If take a bow is making final appearance, then what is that we do in front of the crown?
Awesome, thanks
Absolutely love these News Reviews.
Thanks!
