I know you all are very serious in your English language learning, but every once in awhile it’s nice to do something fun. So, today let’s talk about riddles!!! Riddles are little language puzzles. Usually a statement or question that has a double meaning. Leave me a comment with a riddle that you have heard before and like a lot.
