Welcome back from the weekend! This week we look at life after the working years. We begin with a WordMaster that can either mean an unwelcome end to a satisfying occupation or the beginning of real living. Which will it be for you?

Today's Lesson

Explanation

  • To retire is to stop working because you have reached a particular age - usually 60 or 65 - or because your health is poor.
