TV shows and teenagers

Here is an article (click on the image) from Guardian.co.uk, the online version of The Guardian , a British broadsheet newspaper.

In the article, some of the most popular UK TV shows among teenagers are described by one of them, Liberty Love (15), by answering to three questions:

- Who watches it.

- Why it is good (written as an indirect question, thus the word order).

- Best character.

A similar activity could be done in class (about programmes in your own country, other types of programmes, or for other age groups) and present it as an article or as a short talk.

Of course, as it is an opinion article, disagreement and debate could be another ingredient in the final recipe.

How would you define "graffiquette", as used above, if such word existed?

Groundhog Day

Today is Groundhog Day. You might not know what it is, but it surely is an excellent opportunity to watch a great movie with lots of tips for language learners, as dialogues are repeated and repeated.

In the following scene you have basic questions for introductions and how to ask somebody to marry you (in a traditional way):
