It is a truth universally acknowledged that every person in the world should follow a balanced diet and do some physical exercise to be healthy. However, there are thousands of people who are not aware of its importance for the prevention of some diseases, such as diabetes. For that reason, the International Diabetes Federation together with its member associations has launched a campaign to promote an early diagnose at all ages, paying special attention to children.If you are interested to know where you can go to learn more about diabetes and the campaigns carried out in your country, here you are a link that may be helpful: INTERNATIONAL DIABETES FEDERATION
On the occasion of the imminent release of the 2nd. part of thesuccessful Twilight's saga in cinemas, New Moon promises to become a blockbuster this autumn. Moreover, this event has also attracted the most reluctant readers as it has turned out to be one of the most appealing titles of fiction, keeping suspense until the very end. This fact has brought about Twilight to be read all over the world. In addition to this phenomenon, we must bear in mind a film only takes a couple of hours to tell a story. So, if you want to know what really happens in this new episode, don't wait to be told! This is my recommended book for this holiday. I hope you enjoy it!
While I was surfing the net to look for extra materials for Halloween, I found this great poem based on Tim Burton's original idea to The Nightmare before Christmas. What I've liked most to choose this one above others is his narrator, Christopher Lee. His voice makes the story even gloomier and its plot becomes more intriguing the more he goes on with it. It's for sure you may have recognised Lee's voice on other sagas such as The Lord of The Rings, Dracula or Star Wars. Now, it's the turn of animation. I hope you enjoy watching it! Happy Hallowe'en!
As Halloween is closer I hope you enjoy this activity. Remember that one of the main aims of this blog is to improve bloggers' basic skills. The one I suggest has to deal with listening first, and then, with writing. You are going to watch a piece of advert for youtubers to take part in this Ghost Whisperer's contest. Try to follow the instructions they give and continue the story. Please, send me yours. All ideas will be welcomed. The most imaginative one will receive a special mention here. Try to surprise us!
As it's next in time, I'd like to take the chance to remember one of the most significant festivities in Canada from this blog, Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is held on the second Monday of October in Canada to celebrate the close of the harvest season. The Canadian Thanksgiving Day came about because of a combination of traditions. Before the first Europeans arrived in North America, the farmers in Europe held celebrations at harvest time. The farm workers filled a curved goat's horn with fruit and grain to give thanks for their harvest having been a good one. This horn was called Horn of Plenty, and the farmers who arrived in Canada to start a new life took this tradition with them. In Newfoundland, in 1578, the English navigator Martin Frobisher held a ceremony to thank their survival after the long journey. Since then, Thanksgiving is the best occasion to share with the family and the beloved ones the joy of being grateful to life. In Canada, there is not an exception!! Canadians are welcoming hosts and they enjoy this date with plenty of food; you can also try one of them following this delicious traditional recipe. Bon appétit!
This blog has been built thinking of all audiences to make the study of English as a second language easier than it may seem at first sight.
It will provide you with many useful tools and, at the same time, it will show the importance of English in many countries off the British boundaries, filling the cultural gap we may have and drawing tighter to remote peoples.
Last but not least, I can never thank enough my colleages for their encouragement and endless support to start this e-adventure.
