Video Lesson: Mr. Bean Follow me on twitter This is a video lesson based around the video “Mr. Bean packs his suitcase” thanks to British Council for bringing it to my attention in their lesson plan on making predictions but I’ve adapted it for use in different ways with different levels. Kids and lower levels The aim of this lesson plan is to practice holiday vocabulary (clothes and items that go in a suitcase) and some basic grammar structure. Project a picture of a suitcase on to the board (or draw one) and ask “What do you put in your suitcase when you go on holiday?” toothbrushtoothpasteswimming shorts/trunkstowelunderpantscan of baked beanscloth/flannelsoapbooksuitcasetrousersshortsshoesteddy bearscissors You could also use this quizlet set to go over clothes vocabulary. If children are old enough to write, put them in pairs and hand out post-it-notes and a pencil to each pair. Mr. in his suitcase. Then stick all the post-its on the board and show the video.

Voscreen, imparare (o insegnare) l'inglese con videoclip di film famosi E' un'applicazione ottima per imparare o insegnare l'inglese. Spiderman, cartoni della Disney, L'Era Glaciale, la pubblicità originale dell'Audi: si parte da videoclip famosi di questo tipo e si ascoltano parti di essi in lingua inglese. Dopo un po' il video si blocca e ci si trova di fronte ad una scelta: si può cliccare "I Understand" (capisco) oppure "Show me the script"(mostrami il testo scritto). Nel primo caso l'esercizio chiederà subito di cliccare sulla traduzione corretta della frase appena ascoltata, nel secondo caso si riceverà un piccolo aiuto con il testo scritto della frase e, successivamente, si dovrà scegliere la traduzione corretta. Nel caso si dia la risposta esatta il tasto si colora di verde, al contrario di rosso. All'inizio occorre impostare la lingua madre con cui si intende lavorare e ... c'è anche l'italiano! Per registrare i progressi, invece, occorre registrarsi creando un account oppure tramite FB. N.B.
8 tips to make your life more surprising — from a “Surprisologist” A closeup of Tania Luna, with glow stick. Photo: James Duncan Davidson In today’s talk, Tania Luna shares her experience of immigrating to the United States from Ukraine as a little girl. Perfectly happy with her family’s outhouse and with chewing a single piece of Bazooka gum for a week, Luna found herself blown away by the wonders of her new country. From pizza to pennies to pit-bulls, Luna’s moving story reminds us to appreciate the unexpected joys of daily life and to embrace uncertainty. Commit to the mindset and process of surprise. Luna believes we can all be surprisologists. Tania Luna leads a TED audience in a glowstick dance, during a talk given a year prior to the one posted today.

New study says 30 minutes of exercise a day is not enough. You should double or quadruple that. (iStock) If you're among of the millions of Americans who dutifully carve out 30 minutes a day for the moderate-intensity exercise recommended by experts based on the idea that you're doing all you can for your heart, you're in for some disappointing news. A new analysis published Monday in the journal Circulation finds that that amount of activity may not be good enough. For the paper, researchers reviewed 12 studies involving 370,460 men and women with varying levels of physical activity. [Scientists: Why running makes you so happy] They found that those following the 30-minutes-a-day guidelines issued by the American Heart Association had “modest reductions” in heart failure risk compared to those who did not work out at all. But those who exercised twice and four times as much had “a substantial risk reduction" of 20 percent and 35 percent, respectively. The findings challenge the notion of a 30-minutes-a-day magic number for exercise. Jarett D. This post has been updated. Read more:
