As the videos don't last very long, you can watch them 'one bite at a time'.</span><br />
<br />
How the backpackers meet:<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ms-WuQgrOSs" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
Shattered dreams: they can't find the Indian village and Marcus begins to have real problems with his festering feet.<br />
<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EgX3zBmKJUw" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
So they forget their initial idea of the Indian village and decide to build a raft:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yLu24wbKM_4" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
<br />
After these awful rows, Yossi and Kevin separate and continue on their raft down the river. But they have an accident<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EhJup-xvnt8" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
After the accident everything becomes much worse, now they're on their own<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3sMD8MbIpcA" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
The weather also gets worse<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/f5uJH3P-eA4" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
Yossi keeps walking in circles. Kevin's situation is not much better, but he has a stroke of luck<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/e3ERiG4C4g4" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
Kevin starts Yossi's rescue<br />
<br />
<br />

He tries it another way:<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a website where you can try this:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.listen-and-write.com/">Listen and Write</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First you have to sign up (if you don't feel very happy about this, don't give your real name or your main email address. It's a good idea to have an alternative one for these internet things) and you'll have to log in every time with the same user name and password.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are many different types of exercises for you, but I suggest that you go to level 20 and try the 'blank mode' dictations, which are not so very different to some listenings we do in class.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope it proves useful.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882913870265178484.post-47931971306044657672015-01-14T16:01:00.000+01:002015-01-14T16:01:26.146+01:00Alternative energies and sustainability <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Click <a href="http://content.time.com/time/video/player/0,32068,33575328001_1916895,00.html">here</a> to watch a TIME video which weighs the pros and cons of solar energy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the left-hand side bar you'll find the books I propose for this year. I've tried to include some variety, in genres, styles and writers' origins. Yet all of them have something in common: they're neither too long or too difficult.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, I must admit that it took me a long time to decide whether to include the last one on the list, <i>Too Much Happiness, </i>a collection of short stories by Alice Munro. Her prose is limpid but deep at the same time, so perhaps it would be a good idea to read one or two of her stories to embark on the wonderful adventure of peeping into the world she shows us before making any final decision.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here, on this link to <u style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.newyorker.com/contributors/alice-munro/all">The New Yorker</a></u>, you'll find some of her stories.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once you've made up your mind and chosen one, sit back and enjoy it!</span><br />
