In March, we published these five features:


Size zero
In March, the explorer Rosie Stancer sets off on her latest expedition - walking on her own to the North Pole. We catch up with Rosie on a training exercise in Canada, in Resolute Bay. She talks about the landscape she's preparing to encounter.

Slave trade abolition
One in a series of short programmes we made to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the slave trade, in this edition, we hear from the politician and historian William Hague, and pick up some useful vocabulary relating to people's reasons for doing something.

Mothers
On Mother's Day in Britain, sons and daughters were thanking and honouring their mothers for all the hard work they put into raising them. But can our mothers have too much influence over us? In this programme, we ask men and women if they take after their mothers and focus on the language our interviewees use for describing personality.

Redundancy
When you're made redundant (you lose your job because you're no longer needed), it's not usually an enjoyable experience. But, as we find out, it doesn't always have to be bad news. Famous business expert and writer, Charles Handy, has lots of useful advice about coping with redundancy.

Hair partings
Women are allowed to part their on the left, the right or even down the middle, so why aren't men? So what does it mean if a man parts his hair on the right rather than on the left - if anything? And does it really matter? Find out what the experts think and discover some fun language too!
