Good luck to everyone!

Stories to listen to

All week long we've been working with stories: tenses to use, adverbs to make them sound interesting; we've also read fifty word stories and even written one.

Now I propose listening to some children's stories read by actors. Sit back, click here and enjoy.

Chronic pain, but some fun too

TED Talks videos are always interesting. Here you have one that explains chronic pain. Watch it for a while, just to see how much you understand.




And now something more lighthearted:




_______________

Doctor: "I have some bad news and some very bad news."
Patient: "Well, might as well give me the bad news first."
            Doctor: "The lab called with your test results. They said you have 24 hours to live."
            Patient: "24 Hours! Thats terrible! What could be worse? What's the very bad news?"
Doctor: "I've been trying to reach you since yesterday".

The doctor to the patient: 'You are very sick' 
The patient to the doctor: 'Can I get a second opinion?' 
The doctor again: 'Yes, you are very ugly too...'
