News report

Hi guys!

I found this video on how to make news reports.

It was made by Charlie Brooker, a famous British journalist, comic writer and broadcaster. Report is made with his classic irrevernt style. I hope you enjoy it.

 

Check out the time. This report is only 2 minutes long. Consider that when making your own.

Short stories.

Hi guys!
As you know we're working with short stories this unit. I found this recording and thought you may enjoy it. It's about 10 minutes long.
The story is called  The broken mirror, the black cat and lots of good luck.


What do you think of this story? Do you have any superstitions?  Does your family have any superstitions? Are there any strange superstitions where you come from?


For those who couldn't listen to the audio here is the text.
