Happy St. Valentine's Day!

Hi there. Have a look at this reading activity based on chat up lines and "nasty" answers to turn men (why always men??) down. Also, have a look at this website with loads of chat up lines and tell me what you think. What's the best/worst chat up line you've used (or somebody else has used with you!)?

Teruel Existe in the USA.

Hi class. Please read this very interesting article written by Trey Popp, an American journalist who came to our town some years ago to interview one of the "existential activists" of Teruel Existe. By the way, I was the interpreter in that interview, and I enjoyed the experience enormously. Please tell me what you think of the guy's view of our homeland.

Watch English TV for free!

Thanks to David, I've found a way to watch English TV without any geographical restrictions, just as if your computer were in the UK. Just go to www.expatshield.com. Download their program from there, run it and... hey presto! your computer is "virtually" in the UK, which will then allow you to go to websites like www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ or http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od and watch their content without problems. THE BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR ENGLISH IN YEARS! Please enjoy and share the word!
