Today we have the reading part of the CAE test.

Start 8.45 a.m.

Welcome

Funday Monday week 40

The news at the end of last week was once again dominated by terror and the changing climate. Experts said they are 95% sure that global warming is caused by humans! The remaining 5% are the bribes they got from the oil industry to keep quiet!
So the topic for today's Funday Monday is the weather. British people love to talk about it. Americans don't. Try to find some good weather expressions today... Raining cats and dogs.. Indian summer etc.
Here is a clip of weather bloopers.
Or this weatherman who loses it!
What's your favourite weather/season and why?

Funday Monday week 39

After a week-end dominated by terrorist attacks in Africa and Asia we need to start the week by looking at something without which we cannot survive- humour.
Have a look at Youtube at some famous British comedians/comedy:
Ever since Charlie Chaplin Britain has produced a long line of successful comedians/comedy shows
The Office(ricky Gervais etc)
Sacha Baron Cohen
Monty Python (John Cleese etc)
Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson)
Morecambe and Wise
Two Ronnies
Absolutely fabulous (Joanna Lumley etc.)

What about Swedish humour?
Find some good Swedish comedy and explain what it is based on:
Visual humour?
Satire?
Verbal humour?
Situational comedy etc?
