PISA report about the US demystified
What is it with data? Basically, that just looking at it is rarely enough. For important stuff even coming up with an informed opinion seems to call for some data-mining...

Alpozo's Phonetic Blog: THE LOGICAL SONG FOR SYLLABIC CONSONANTS
Alpozo's Phonetic Blog: THE LOGICAL SONG FOR SYLLABIC CONSONANTS
A short lesson on how English vowels are reduced, and sometimes even disappear! Making it all the most difficult for the untrained ear.
Make sure you get some practice! It's a lot of days without a lesson.

Student video - serious talk - powerful images
Maybe too much to take it literally, but certainly effectual in conveying the message. Good visuals too. Overall, a superb achievement for a student!
Maybe he really had something serious to talk about?
For the grammatically-minded, can you spot some of the grammar slips in the audio?

Fair play
Yes, this is precisely what you are all thing about. And no, I still don't dig soccer, and probably never will.
So the fair play is not on a soccer field this time, but on a theater stage. At Sala Cuata Pared. Such a much more comfy place!
A student at school acts on the play, and I think he'll be playing pretty well, but that's for you to see!
Tickets are really inexpensive, just 5€! Hurry up, it's on only for the next two weeks!

Dilbert strip - good fun
A classmate of yours just passed this on. It's good fun. You can subscribe and get it daily on your email or your reader.
Again, it's a great idea and resource to get some daily content in English, Dilbert, other strips, news, whatever floats your boat!

IN 1492
In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.
He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to find his way.
A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.
Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men worked while others snored.
Then the workers went to sleep;
And others watched the ocean deep.
Day after day they looked for land;
They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.
October 12 their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew!
"Indians! Indians!" Columbus cried;
His heart was filled with joyful pride.
But "India" the land was not;
It was the Bahamas, and it was hot.
The Arakawa natives were very nice;
They gave the sailors food and spice.
Columbus sailed on to find some gold
To bring back home, as he'd been told.
He made the trip again and again,
Trading gold to bring to Spain.
The first American? No, not quite.
But Columbus was brave, and he was bright.

Salesman pays $15 to move into $340K home
Everything seems to be bigger in Texas...
FLOWER MOUND — It has the makings of a tall tale: A man finds a two-story, 3,250-square-foot house worth $340,000 in a Dallas suburb and pays only $15 for it.
Kenneth T. Robinson, 50, who sells vitamins and other dietary supplements for a marketing company, laid claim to the 1997-built house in Flower Mound under Texas' obscure "adverse possession" law - commonly known as "squatter's rights."
Robinson determined that the owner of record moved out about a year ago and cannot be found, and the property wasn't listed for sale. He filed an affidavit of adverse possession with Denton County for a $15 fee, turned on the utilities and moved in.
"Unless they wake up and assert their rights to ownership, this man may have found a real business opportunity," Austin real estate lawyer Brian Rider told The Dallas Morning News for Sunday's edition.
Robinson's new neighbors are upset. One of them, Sandy Dawson, said she and others "believe in working for what you get."
Some even called police.
