English In Use - 'A Slice Of Heaven'

A selection of headlines from stories in the news. They use English in a way that you might think is intended to confuse but it's all perfectly clear to the native speaker.

The Daily Express headline of 'A Slice Of Heaven' gives you a clue as to what the story is about - according to decorating brand Harris, freshly baked bread is Britain's favourite smell.
