Argentinians in London

Hi there!
A bonus track video clip this weekend! CNN visited a London bar where Argentine fans were watching the World Cup match between Argentina and Greece. Peek inside!
Have a look at Argentinians in London as they enjoy a football match as much as we do... but in English!



Cheers!

Travel with Val

Dear all,
travelling for pleasure is one of the most energizing experiences!
This week, summer holidays are starting in the US. And, if any of you is planning a trip to New York City we suggest a formidable and impressive tour to celebrate their Independence.
Here you will find the exercise that we have prepared for you all, and below you will find the video to solve the activities.




Enjoy it and may you have a good weekend!

A Theatre Programme? That's a Playbill!

Dear all,
Playbill is a monthly U.S. magazine for theatregoers. Although there is a subscription issue available for home delivery, most Playbills are printed for particular shows to be distributed at the door. Articles within the Playbills change monthly to reflect new shows and artists performing in plays, musicals or special attractions; this wraparound section is the same for all Playbills across all venues at any given time. Within this wraparound, Playbills contain a cast list, cast photos, cast biographies, song lists and who performs the songs (if a musical), and a list of scenes for the particular show.


In this week's edition of our Blog, we bring you a report by NY1's Roma Torre on how the "programme" gets to the Theatres. The idea is to relax for a while, as you watch the report and practise your listening skills.
In case there are words you do not understand, we provide you with the TRANSCRIPT TO THE CLIP.



Kind regards,
