BBC learning English

Hello everyone! Today we have to visit a site very interesting, where we can do a lot kind of activities to learn English.

In this site (http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/ ) you can found selections like General & Business English, Grammar, Vocabulary & Pronunciation, Quizzes, and others kind of selections like “teachers” which are more specific, that can be more appropriate for people who wants to keep their English in shape.

What I did in this site was select the option “quizzes”, and then I chose play a crossword. The topic of the crossword was “Archaeology”, so it was no so difficult for me, because I like this subject. The game involves clicking the numbers to see a clue to the words, and right here you could see news published in the BBC website (visiting “Words in the News”). Also, you could get more clues by clicking “give me a hint”, that allowed see five letters in different spaces of the crossword.  


It seemed to me a very interesting activity, and, in general, I think that this site is a very good choice to practice English, because there are a lot of funny things to do.

End of the year, and end of the world


Hello again! I’m back! J

Sometimes I look the sky and I say… why me? This year (precisely my last year at the University) I was planning a trip to Bolivia and Perú with my boyfriend and another four friends. But, with the “stopping” and protests at my University, my plans are at risk... classes just started last week, right now when I must to get a job to finance the travel expenses! I’m very complicated with this, because is very discouraging go to class on summer (with all the sun and the warm) and especially for the time that I had planned to job… I NEED A JOB! But, I also need to finish all my subjects on the best way. This is my existential paradox…. because if the world ends, I never will meet the Ruins of Machupichu, but, if I live many years I will say: “why I preferred to work, rather than studying? L

I hope to do both things, and with great success!
