THE POWER OF CARTOONS

In a series of witty punchlines, Patrick Chappatte makes a poignant case for the power of the humble cartoon. His projects in Lebanon, West Africa and Gaza show how, in the right hands, the pencil can illuminate serious issues and bring the most unlikely people together.

LIFESTYLE CHANGES

With this finacial crisis on us, families have to cope with difficult situations at home. Actually, many people have to give up certain things that are part of their lifestyles. As we are going to deal with this topic over the next week, I would like the Intermediate 2 students to watch this video and then send me either a recording or a short paragraph answering the following questions.

1. What are the top three necessities that you could not live without?
2. Have you had to make any changes in your lifestyle lately?
4. If you had to, which luxury would you give up?
5. How well can you adjust the change?

ENGLISH SOAP OPERA - CHAPTER 1

From time to time chapters of this sitcom will be posted on this blog so that students can improve their understanding. This soap came to me thanks to a student from basic 1 but it could be of great help to any students in higher levels. This website TELEVEO offers this possibility to all the students of English. Hector´s Arrival is the first chapter. Bridget and Annie have a visitor, Hector, a good looking guy from Argentina who can't speak English very well. Nick is the boy next door who fancies Bridget and at first doesn't like the idea of a rival. I hope these chapters catch your interest.

HOW TO ORGANISE MY VOCABULARY?

When reaching a higher level of English, increasing your vocabulary becomes the main objective,however, you may need to use various techniques to help yourself remember the word.It is here that you must remember that for some words it is enough to know just enough about a word so you can understand it when you hear or see it used in context. For other words, though, that you will need to use productively you will need as much information as possible about the words. In that case you may need to remember:the pronunciation; the spelling; grammatical information about the word: whether the word is a noun, verb, adjective etc; its collocations,the types of language the word is used in, formal or informal, spoken or written, biology or business etc.; the meaning of the word,which word families it is in and, finally, example sentences.Then have a look at this information, it might help you out.

THE MAN WHO CAN'T BE MOVED

I thought you might have a bit of fun this weekend and I'd like to share this wonderful website www.anglesonline.org with you all. There you will find this tune The man who can't be moved, which I really find easy to understand. At the same time, you could try the exercises provided for the different levels. Come on!
