Dear students:
Do you know any brilliant English learning websites? I do. It's the BBC, and I think it rocks.

Today task is to visit:


http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/


Take a look around, You can have a look at sections like "words in the news", pronunciation, face up to phrasal (very appropriated) Wordmaster to practice vocabulary, or even watch the flatmates, to name but a few. (Use the headphones to listen)

Write at least 170 words please. Your opinion on the site in general. Specific activities.


Don't forget to post comments on at least 3 of your classmates blogs and your teacher's.

Very hard to choose!

Because I love good cinema and movies in general, I find it very difficult to pick a favourite film. However, what sprung to mind on this particular occasion is the film “The daytrippers” by director Greg Mottola. It first came out in 1996 and I probably saw it at the end of that year. I went to the cinema with my husband (partner at the time) without expecting anything.
The cast was pretty impressive considering this is the story of an ordinary family (whatever that means! I loved each and every character in it. The sense of humor in it is just brilliant. I won’t tell you more. If you haven’t seen it I strongly recommend it.
Write about your favourite movie
Say:
Who’s it by
When you saw it for the first time,
Why you like it,
What makes it better than other movies.

Write at least 170 words. Leave comments on the blogs of at least 3 classmates and your teacher’s blog too.
