The Archers

The best way to improve your listening skill is by listening...
Click on the link at the bottom and listen to a brand new chapter every day( well, on week days, I think ). You can download them onto your mp3, Ipod, mobile or computer...and listen to them while sunbathing.

The Archers is a long-running British soap opera, which began in the 1950s. I like it a lot because it´s so well produced, every little sound is recorded...the birds, cars, every noise to make it, if possible, more real! Besides the English spoken is fairly understandable.

To know more about this incredible adventurous novel written by Mark Twain...search on "wikipedia".

One of the main characters in "The Lord of the Rings" is also one of the main ones here.

Let me give you a piece of advice...
1) Go to the kitchen, make yourself some nice pop-corn
2) Go to your lounge and sit on a comfy sofa,dim light...
3) Put all your senses while watching because there are no subtitles. SORRY!
4) Last but not least...ENJOY!

Instrucciones para el "glog"

Debéis hacer un par de glogs de temática libre. Se tendrá en cuenta lo siguiente:

1. Debe haber texto en inglés ( NO COPIÉIS NI PEGUÉIS). Leed la información y poned pequeños bocadillos con información simple.
2. Debe contener imágenes
3. Debe aparecer en vuestro glog algún video
4. Se tendrá muy en cuenta también vuestra creatividad e imaginación

Echad in vistazo al que yo he hecho. He hablado un poco del club y he dado algunos datos usando un inglés básico.

La fecha límite para hacerlos será el domingo 12 de junio. Cuanto antes lo hagáis, mejor.

Os recuerdo que estos trabajos tendrán la puntuación que tenían los writings.

Good luck!!

Obama´s speech

Listen to American President, Barack Obama. There are plenty of things you can recognise easily: different tenses, conditionals, the passive voice.

Learn new vocabulary and pay attention to the pronunciation of known and unknown words, as well as the intonation.
