From now on, I have decided to share the videos that make me have goosebumps (tener la carne de gallina). Did you know this idiom?
Today, I am sharing this video about how we can make the difference... and start the change. Every little thing helps.
What do you feel when you see this video? Could you tell me, please? You can also use this video for a post, I think it can be very interesting if some other people give their view about it.
In my opinion, this is so simple, but so difficult at the same time. We seem to be living in a society who is indifferent to the problems of other people. And watching this video... makes me feel that we can change that. Because you, and me, we are good people. And there are a lot of people who are good around us.
So focus on them.
And help others... because others will help you.
Good actions bring more good actions. Don't you think?
Be contagious!!!!

Gravity
Two weeks ago one of my students told me about this film and I had seen a short clip on TV, so we looked for the official trailer and we saw it during a Practical English lesson.
I found it really scary and I even felt panic. How could an astronaut face a situation like the one we see in the trailer? Could I resist seeing the complete film? Well, I can answer the second question... I really could... but believe me, I suffered a lot yesterday at the cinema.
But I recommend this film to you. You won't be indifferent, I am sure.

Teacher, I don't know what to write...
This is one of the most repeated sentences in class when we talk about your blog. I usually tell you to write about the things you like... that's so obvious that sometimes I have to be more specific if you don't get inspired.
On the right side of the blog I have put a new section with "Ideas for your posts" and I am going to copy them here, at the end of this post.
You can also get inspired by having a look at my blog and what I have published. There are plenty of photos, videos... that you can see and be the ideas for your new posts. Have a look at your classmates' blogs too. There are eternal topics you can use once and again...
As I said before, here you are some ideas (topics) for your posts. I have used some of this before...

Ideas for your posts
Videos with lyrics
I am sure you like a lot of songs whose lyrics are in English. Do you understand what they are talking about? Sometimes they are a bit of nonsense, but sometimes they have deep meanings...
As you know, you can look for the lyrics on the internet but also using Youtube. Some people make incredible videos (I will show you some another time). These videos with the music and the lyrics help you to learn English. Why? Because you understand better the vocabulary, you learn new words and expressions, and above all, you learn the pronunciation. In addition, if you sing the song trying to pronounce as well as you can you will improve a lot your English.
Do you want to have a try? Let me show you the new Coldplay song. It is part of the "Hunger games: Catching fire" soundtrack. The song is called "Atlas" and, in my opinion, is amazing.
Here it is! Enjoy!

Wow! 1
I have just found and seen this HD video and I have rushed to my blog to share it with all my students.
I think we are not usually aware of where we are living... the Earth. It is so amazing, so wonderful... This time this video was made from the photos taken by the International Space Station. I have run off of words to describe what I feel so... WOW! could make it.
Have a look, and tell me your opinion, please!!

My favourite parts are the storm ones. Lightings are so flashy!

Vocabulary clouds, a good idea!
Last year I showed you an online tool to create word clouds he in this post. I think it would be a great idea not only to revise English or French vocabulary... but also for other subjects' concepts. For example, I have just prepared this cloud for my students of History, for a piece of unit 1 regarding to the "Antic Règim". This could be like this...
What do you think? Try your own cloud!

A man reading a poem...
I am not very keen on poetry... I only like some Becquer or Neruda poems... but in general, I don't like poetry.
So, when I discovered this man reading this poem in the TV talent show "Tú sí que vales" I got so amazed... I think he has an awesome voice, perfect for reading those poems.
Here you are one of the poems read by Rafael Turia. He makes the videos too... with such beautiful images, with that subtle nice music!
He is not the author, but I think he has got a perfect voice for poetry...
And you? Do you like poetry?

Funny videos
I am so fond of discovering new Youtube videos that make me smile or even laugh... so when I saw this video I couldn't stop laughing... I have seen it a lot of times, and it always make me laugh, it is incredible!!
I was investigating about the author (the man with glasses is the protagonist, the other is his roommate). His nick on Youtube is MrEpicMann and he has published more than thirty videos... not all of them are so funny, but I want you to see this one... I think this is very funny too!

Homeland
Do you usually watch TV? How do you watch TV programmes, films, documentaries or series? I usually see them online, on the internet... I don't often download them, as it is sometimes slower than watching it online.
I have recently finished the second Homeland season. As the first one, it has twelve episodes... and it will not continue until next September... too long!
This is about Brody, an American marine who has captured and under torture for eight years by a terrorist group (Al-Qaeda). When he is finally free, a CIA officer (Carrie) investigates him because she specializes in Al-Qaeda stuff, and she believes that Brody has become an Al-Qaeda member trying to attempt against the USA.
It is really exciting!!!
