Article of the week by Lídia Pardo

Hi guys !!!   I'm sure we have all heard about energy drinks such as Monster, Amp, Rockstar and Red Bull. In fact, most of us have probably tried one of these drinks. Most of the drinks have ingredients such as caffeine, taurine and glucuronolactone. They also contain high levels of sugar and caffeine. What do you think about these kind of drinks? Do you think that they can cause health problems?

Demonstration of teachers on the 14th November

Hi!

I wrote this article for Occupy Education and they published it.

It is about a demonstration that substitute teachers made on the 14th November in front of Department of Education.

I just wanted to share it with you :-)

Video of the week: A trip to Barcelona

Hi everyone! I saw this video few days ago and I thought it would be nice for this blog. I hardly recommend you to try to listen the video without reading the translation. I think it's quite easy. Isn't it? After listening the video, what do you think about this man and what he says? Do you agree with him about next 25 of November? I hope you enjoy it. See you!!

Learn through mime

Hey guys.

Here you have two videos with the performance of David Armand. He calls his performs "Interpretative Dance" because he illustrates the lyrics through mime (in the second video the introducer said through the media/medium of ????, please leave a comment if you understand it) and two people have to guess the name of the song.

The first one is a classic Queen's song (I miss you, Freddy!) and I like how David "says":
feel alive,  don't stop me now, burning through the sky, way of Mars, real (he illustrates with reel) good time…
Note that he doesn't know how to illustrate "Mr. Fahrenheit" and he turns to the audience like saying "What it is supposed that I have to do know?", brilliant.

The second video is a Britney Spears's song. I like how he illustrates "Oh, baby" (life is simple!), to "bee"  and the "give a sign" part.
Note the accent of Lora when she said "I think I've got it"  oh I wish I could have it.

That's all, see you tomorrow. Enjoy the videos!

And now, Britney's song
