WORDY WEDNESDAY: 'TO SHED LIGHT' ZIGGURAT BLOG POST: meaning and examples

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday to you! I hope that your day is going well. 

Did you know that we have a Ziggurat Blog?

If you like the Daily Vitamin and would like more English practise, check it out! It has many language learning tips. 

Today we are looking at a Ziggurat Blog post from last year. We looked at the TED Talk by Jonathan Klein called "Photos That Changed the World."

It's an excellent speech, and the photos are beautiful! I encourage you to watch it. 

The speaker, Jonathan Klein, uses the expression TO SHED LIGHT ON (something) in his speech. This is a great expression and we are looking at it for today's Wordy Wednesday

Definition: to clarify or supply information about something. 

Example 1: The images from Klein's speech shed light on many world issues, like poverty and AIDS. 

Here is how Klein used the phrase in his speech.

Example 2: Images have power to shed light of understanding on suspicion, ignorance... and the issue of HIV/AIDS. 

Photos definitely have the ability to shed light on many problems in the world. Is there a powerful image that you love? Tell us about it on our Facebook or Twitter pages.
