Inventors and their inventions!


Hello everybody,

As the topic of our last unit in this course (yes, the end is near) is technology. I found a couple of pages you might enjoy visiting.

The first one has a description of latest inventions a round the world and a special link for "funny inventions" which is hilarious. Try it at: www.inventionreaction.com/

The other link has a collection of pictures of crazy inventions. Take a look at the pictures and blog your comments on how useful or unuseful they are. http://www.weirdthings.org.uk/crazy-inventions-picture-gallery-choose-your-weirdest-invention-now/

Take care

Let's practice some pronunciation!


Check the sure shot charged surely by the changing shift.

Try saying this short tongue twister. . . kind of hard isn't it. Well as we have been working with the pronunciation of some vowel and consonat sounds, I would like you to take some time to visit a web page that offers you exercises, explanations and some video and audio recordings for you to clarify some doubts you may have.

Go ahead and have fun!
