A Christmas Carol

I'm sure you have heard of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, and you have probably even read the book or watched one of the many films based upon this story.

Well, here you have a nicely and slowly spoken version of the story, just for you not to forget your English! ;-)

I wish you all a great Christmas time and a lovely New Year, full of success in your English-learning process and fun in your English classes! :-)

Cyber Monday

In class we have been talking about sales in different countries: Black Friday, Boxing Day, 7th of January... But have you ever heard of Cyber Monday? Well, I guess it's now here to stay!

But what is ist excatly? As I read on The Week, "It is essentially the online equivalent of Black Friday but with less risk of serious injury. It falls on the first Monday after Thanksgiving in the United States. Instead of battling with rival shoppers to grab the latest bargains in the shops, consumers head to the internet to spend billions of pounds or dollars on limited-time deals".
