OUR PLANET IS IN DANGER

• How does the global warming affects us?
• What can we do to preserve our planet? 
• What sort of things can we do in our daily life to improve conditions of our environment?
• Which feelings does this video provoque you? 
• How many different habitats can you see in this video?

La manera de explotar esta actividad irá enfocada a la comprensión oral en un primer estadio y tras una reflexión y respondiendo a las preguntas que se le plantean  al alumno, éste debe llegar a determinadas conclusiones. Para ello , se pueden explotar bien la expresión escrita , mediante un 'opinion essay' o bien la expresión oral , llevando a debate el tema en clase con todos los compañeros. Obviamente , sería recomendable, como siempre que se trabaja una lengua extranjera, que sea un grupo reducido.

El nivel más apropiado sería Bachillerato.

 La actividad en sí no es difícil siempre y cuando tengas determinadas destrezas con el uso de las nuevas tecnologías. Yo me he atascado para transformar el video y poder colgarlo en mi blog

international women's day

With the following video programme called 'Everywoman' , we can give a tribute to all working women all over the world and their role in the media. Once you've watched it , write if the following sentences are true or false and correct the false ones:

• In Afghanistan, women are still sold to pay her fathers' debts
• According to rachel Ellison, programmes like Everywoman only serve to marginalize women.
• The fact that men take most decisions affects women's work even in the developed countries
• Ni Xijia says that in Beijing women can only work in restaurants house keeping
• In Beijing, the company paid Ni Xijia for the cost of the operation of her hand, whose fingers were crashed while working in the noodle machine
• Ni Xijia wants to have a clerk job and learn how to use the computer.

dictations

It's always a good idea to get used to listening to different accents, writing some dictations online helps us in that practice.
Podcasts are also useful to get used to listening; choose the one you prefer
