Health // Alternative Medicine - listening

Dear students,
I suggest listening to this at home so that you get familiar with some vocabulary related to alternative medicine. "Breaking News in English" provides you with answers too.

In addition, you might like the following TED TALK about homeopathy and fraud. This talk is really thought-provoking and has had a great success on ther Internet.

Good luck!

Practice Reading

I recommend books every week, but I am pretty sure you didn't have time to read all of them. Therefore, I would like to suggest new ideas today. Do you feel you have to read more texts in English but you don't really have time to read literature? Why don't you try reading short articles like the ones provided by this webpage? They come with activities and quizzes that might help you improve your reading skill. Good luck!

Too easy? Try these texts instead!!!

Some webs to practice LISTENING at home

Dear students,
as you know, learning English is a slow process which requires lots of work and motivation. Four hours a week are not enough to reach a high level. What can we do? Well, don't forget to work on your own. Read books, magazines and blogs (I recommend some texts every week!), watch films in English, and try to collect new words and use them. Besides, this week, I would like to provide some webpages to practice listening at home. Hopefully, you will find them useful:

1. "SABER INGLÉS" - American English
2. ESL LAB - American English
3. BRITISH COUNCIL -PODCASTS -British English
4. ORORO TV - Watch Series online
5. LEARNING THROUGH MUSIC! (LYRICS!)
