THE STORY OF BOTTLED WATER

Susana Lapeña sent me an interesting mail from an organization called Free Range Studios, cause-based movie makers that try to create campaigns with a social message.
This one is about bottled water.

What's wrong with this seemingly healthy refreshment? You'll be shocked to find out that it's often less clean, less tasty, and way more polluting than the water from your tap. This is the story that water bottlers Coke, Pepsi, and Nestlé don't want you to hear -- but thanks to Annie, millions of you will

Maybe you know one of the most traditional carols "Jingle Bells" Now with MacMillan´s help you can learn and pronounce the real lyrics.

We commemorate this year the Fall of the Berlin Wall, but there are other walls that should be pulled down. We think it's a good moment to enjoy one of the most popular videos and songs about walls and think a bit about it.

"The wall" by Pink Floyd is always worth watching and listening to.

Dr Samuel Johnson (Lichfield 18 September 1709 – London 13 December 1784)
Last Friday we remembered Samuel Johnson´s 300th birthday, he was an English author, a journalist, poet, essayist, moralist, novelist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer. The "father" of English Dictionaries.
Johnson started his career working as a teacher and moved to London where he began to write for magazines. He wrote essays, biographies, poems, plays and after nine years of work, Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language was published in 1755; it had a far-reaching impact on Modern English. The Dictionary brought Johnson popularity and success. Until the completion of the Oxford English Dictionary, 150 years later, Johnson’s was viewed as the pre-eminent British dictionary.
After a series of illnesses he died on the evening of 13 December 1784, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

In the following video you can watch Dr Johnson with Prince George (A young Hugh Laurie( House)in a funny comedy series.
