PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE.

Hello people:

In this post I'd like you to propose a topic (we can use it in the next sessions).

The topic is "planned obsolescence", that's to say, everything has been designed to last for a certain period of time in order to encourage new purchases. I'm afraid we're being manipulated by companies. What do you think?

I leave a short video about it, just click the link:

Planned obsolescence, perceived obsolescence.

Or her blog: Annie's Leonard's blog.

Bye!!

ACCENTS.

Hello people:

I think it's quite interesting to hear about different accents. That's why I want to propose some videos.

The first one is about 21 different accents. Get your ears ready...




I also leave a link to another site, in this case about different speech accents, and not only in English. Click the following link: Speech accent archive.


Finally, and just for fun, I leave you a video of Dr House's (Hugh Laurie) interview about English and American accents. 

Bye!!

16 WAYS OF SAYING "I LIKE IT".

Hi people:

I'm sure you've been very good. That's why I hope you've received your presents, or at least some: The Wise Men are in crisis too, but I'm sure you deserve them. On the other hand, excessive consumerism isn't very good either. This could be a topic for the first session, what do you think?

My present for you is the following video entitled "16 ways of saying I like it". There's no excuse not to use a wide range of expressions..."I'm really into, I can't get enough of..., I fancy someone..." Watch the video to see them all.

I hope it's useful and you are really keen on watching it.
See you next week!

ABOUT THE VIDEOS.

Hi people!

I don't know if you notice about the videos section. Although it's called "the video of the week" it may not be changed so often for time reasons.
In addition, if you have not been able to visit the blog for some days, don't worry! You won't miss anything, because at the end you will find a section called "previous videos" where I'll post all the videos belonging to this section. Since I'm changing or adding things my advice is to have a look at the blog and all its sections from time to time.
 And last, but not least, if you have any contributions or ideas or suggestions, I'll be pleased to hear you.

Bye!!
