La pie qui s'amuse
C’est moi, Mimi la pie. Blanc et noir est mon habit. Je suis très jolie et, très souvent, je ris. Et savez-vous ce qu’il y a dans mon nid ? Des radis, du pain de mie, des grains de riz et de l’eau-de-vie. L’après-midi, j’ai rapporté une boule de gui. Du gui dans mon nid pour la nouvelle année. J’ai invité toutes les pies dans mon nid décoré. On s’est fait des bibis sous le gui et on a dansé toute la nuit !
On s’amuse toujours entre amis chez Mimi la pie.

Ep.6 温泉♨️とアウトレット🛍へ行ってきました！

In this episode, a student from David's 'Movies, TV, and Podcasts' course discusses a new movie; 'Downton Abbey - The end of an era'. This quintessential English drama reveals a great deal about life in an upper-class English family. Listen as Helen tells us why she was attracted to the movie, who her favourite character is, and whether she would recommend the movie to other students of English. If you've watched the movie, please send me your comments, and let me know whether you agree with Helen's review.

We all like to plan ahead and sometimes, especially at work, we have TO WORK TO DEADLINES. 
Deadlines can often seem DAUNTING and stressful, particularly if you have lots of work to complete and the deadline is j JUST AROUND THE CORNER. 
However, not all deadlines are bad! 
At work, deadlines give us a goal to aim for and can push us to achieve far more than we might expect. 
Remember to set yourself daily, weekly and monthly OBJECTIVES to achieve, and perhaps use a smartphone app to track your progress. 
You can then use this information next time you meet with your boss to show how productive you are. You never know, it might also help with a promotion or pay rise! 
While personal plans such as meeting a friend for drinks or playing tennis next weekend involve deadlines, these arrangements are more flexible, so you needn’t be OVERLY worried about the time.  
However, remember that you don’t want to be late for your appointments and keep your friends waiting, so think about what you need to do BEFOREHAND and give yourself enough time to achieve it successfully, with just a little extra time added JUST IN CASE.
Take your next vacation for instance. What do you need to plan? 
Tickets, a hotel reservation, or a taxi to the airport. 
Someone to look after your pets or houseplants while you are away. 
Don’t leave all your planning to THE LAST MINUTE. After all, it’s never too early to plan ahead!

Making Plans

La rubrica, questa volta, si ispira a un articolo scritto da chi sa fare il mestiere di giornalista. Ho preso spunto da un messaggio di Jason, un mio amico e studente, che per scrivere “va bene” mi scrive sempre “va beh” con l’acca.
E guarda caso, cosa ho trovato?
Vi invito, questa volta, a fare un largo uso di questa espressione!
E vabbè

When you think about rainforests, you might think of somewhere with a tropical climate — somewhere like the Amazon or the Congo.

But in fact, a very large rainforest can be found in a country famous for its dreary weather: the UK.

The Eden Project, an attraction in southwest England, calls itself the world's largest indoor rainforest.

Sometimes referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," the Eden Project was created in 2001 from an old clay pit. It's famous for its two enormous biomes, which are designed to look and feel like rainforests and tropical regions from all over the world.

The Rainforest Biome is about 16,000 square meters in size, and is full of plants found in tropical climates, like sugarcane, pineapples and bananas.

There are rare and unusual plants too, like the titan arum — a flower famous for its terrible smell that only blooms around once a year.

The Mediterranean Biome is a little smaller at 6,540 square meters, but has plants from the Mediterranean and regions with similar climates, such as California, South Africa and Australia.

The Eden Project is not just a place for people to look at plants, though — there is an environmental message behind the attraction, and it aims to teach visitors about the importance of looking after the environment.

As well as activities and workshops that teach visitors about the importance of living sustainably, the Eden Project even offers courses for a university degree!

And there's plenty of other things to see and do, too.

Throughout both biomes, visitors can find art and installations which focus on important topics like climate change.

And every year, the Eden Project hosts the Eden Sessions, a series of outdoor music concerts. Famous artists such as Amy Winehouse, Elton John and Oasis have performed at the Eden Sessions in the past.
