Plácido Domingo & John Denver "Annie´s song" (uses of like vs as )

"En portada" now in english!

Dear students;
En Portada is a famous documentary programme, for those who already know it, I just want to inform you that it´s possble to see them in Spanish version but with English subtitles.
Maybe, you will find easier to understand while reading at the same time.

This report- I´ve have chosen -is an immersion in the city through several taxi drivers of New York. An emotional trip, full of memories of the September 11 attacks. It also reflects how the city and the world have changed since then.

I hope you like it!
(45 minutes video aprox. Spanish original version with English subtitles)

Strong libraries build strong futures (B&M Gates foundation)

Snooping around the Internet I bumped into Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. At first, I was amazed as I didn´t know they focus in many areas (health, education, poverty & development) and their projects are spread wordlwide.
I´ve chosen this video that deals the importance of having access to information, what reminds us that, there are still many countries where getting it is not a daily routine.

Witness how important information is in order to get freedom (whether intellectual or physical), to be stronger, to build up your own criterion and to have a future....
