FACEBOOK FACTS AND FACEBOOK LOSERS

Have a look at these 50 facts about Facebook that we dealt with in class. In this webpage, there are thousands of random facts about loads of things. I hope you can find something interesting!
I also told you to take a test about your Facebook use but it seems it's been removed from where I first found it. A pity, because it was quite funny.

Lingro. An amazing online dictionary

Show this article about Facebook narcissism on the screen, cut and paste the address, go to Lingro and paste in the address into the first field. The Guardian website will come up, and then click on some difficult words to show that a definition comes up. Isn't that amazing? Besides, you'll be able to save the words you've looked up for you to revise later on.
