Why?

Hi guys

Some times, when I watch a video, I'm shocked and this is one of them. For me have been difficult to pick out one because, very often, TV provides us videos about people who suffer and unfortunately we're used to watching them.

You've just seen two people. A frightened man who is running away. He's carrying a child in his arms. He only has a dream, to live in peace. Suddenly a journalist kicks him and he falls over, but, what happen after?. I needed to imagine what happened after that so let me tell you the rest of the history. Surely the man's son asked his father "Why?" And he couldn't answer anything. He only looked away and cried, however, when the journalist's son asked his mother "Why?" she, proud, answered "Because I am superior than these people".

Stranded whales

Hi, dear classmates!

I have chosen a video about stranded whales in New Zealand. Whales are the biggest mammals in the world and the pilot whale is the most common species of whale in New Zealand.

The video shows us how some people helped whales to return back to the sea and how this people worked tirelessly although they weren't able to save all the whales.

When the whales were stranded on the sand, the volunteers kept the skin of the whales wet by throwing water buckets on them. After that, the volunteers dragged the whales towards sea and they tried to refloat them. Some of the whales came back to the deep sea.

In the end, 46 whales were saved but, unfortunately, despite the efforts 24 pilot whales died on the beach.

See you soon!

Hi Guys,

Today, in such a cloudy day, I would like to watch something funny with you.

This is a short film about science of speech.

I have prepared for you a few tips to improve English pronunciation.

Firstly, to be good with the English pronunciation you should first start by learning the phonetic alphabet.

Thirdly, always learn new words and it's with the pronunciation.

Finally, borrow o buy a book about the English phonetics.

To conclusion, to imitate the pronunciation of a native speaker.  (Shadowing).

The best in this is a video is one person saying something well and you can see her face with them you can imitate your expressions.

I hope that my advice will be helpful and we pass all the English Exam in June.

Hi classmates!

I´m writing this email because I want to talk about -my +this -funny +fun video.

First of all, I want to ask you this question, -Have +have you ever thought -about +if the way you eat is normal? I´m sure of it....

For that +reason, in the next video you can check +if the way you eat is normal.

In this video -[anyone talk] +[nobody talks], for this reason you should pay attention -in +to the cartoons and the sentences. They show you what percentage of people eat different -kind +kinds of meal in diferent ways.

-In +at the beginning the video asks you if your eating habits are normal, say, if you prefer eating your cereales soggy, crunchy or +you don´t care, either way...

I´m surprised because there are more -of +than five ways to make a -coffe +coffee! -whit +with milk, black, half & half or cream, +with almond or soy milk... -[For other side] +Besides, -also there are +also many ways of preparing a sandwich, eating an oreo, bagels or spaghetti. But in my opinion, no matter +the percentage, I prefer to eat spaghetti in the Lady & the trump style.

I'm looking forward to -see +SEEING it in class and I hope you like it.

Cheers

I could order, if you told me what you want. 
   [it’s still present, only less definite]

I would have ordered pizza, if you had told me you wanted some.
I wish I hadn't booked this restaurant. I wish we went somewhere else.
   [it’s something that could have been different in the past]

Enjoy!
