WORLD CANCER DAY

Reading other blogs, I've found this wonderful entry of my workmate Abel. We heard the story from a book one of us was reading, and it is indeed an amazing one. Read his post and discover more about a person we all should admire even if we have never heard her name before: Henrietta Lacks.

V FOR VENDETTA

Talking about a speech... not only kings, politicians or actors are the ones who can deliver a moving speech.
In this case it's an anarchist revolutionary, dressed in black and wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, trying to convice people to rule themselves and bring down the government.

You should listen carefully to what he says, maybe there are some similarities with the world wide revolution we're witnessing these days.

There are certain things, though, that you should know about. Read these questions and answer them before you watch the videoclip.

1- Who was Guy Fawkes?
2- "Remember, remember, the fifth of November..." What happened on 5th November 1605 ?
3- How do people celebrate that day in the UK?
4- Who says "a penny for the guy"?

FIRST MOON LANDING

In 1969, the NASA achieved a dream: the first human beings arrived to the Moon. A competition against Russian government that was fulfilled with Armstrong's famous sentence: "One small step...". Can you complete it by listening to the video?? be honest and do not look for it on google!

NADAL vs. FEDERER

Not being a great fan of sports, and not understanding a ball from tennis, I saw a bit of the Australia Open Final, as I suppose most of you did. Yesterday, someone made me thought on Nadal speaking in English. Maybe his pronunciation is not the best in the world, but he does quite well. Federer as well -remember he's Swiss-. So, why not to improve our English by listening to them?
