We are pleased to present you a new page of our “bloc”. We think that podcasts can help you improve your English as well as songs. So, why don’t you try to watch news in English? We have chosen CNN because there is also the script that you can use in case you do not understand some of the news.
The link is CNN Video and look for studentnews.
There is another possibility to watch the video: click on Cnn studentnews . In case you are lost while watching the news, look for the script and print it.
Once you have watched the programme, please send us your comments on it.

I think that this new method for watch the news is a nice way to learn english and know news about all the world.
Thanks for the link!
Eloi,
Thank you for your comments. At least you like working on your own and you do not complain. I think Internet is a good tool to improve knowledge as well as English.
The content of the news is funnier than the normal news and the name of the presenter too!!
I think that students will watch more news with this channel, but a lot of the news are about the politics and for the most students it will be boring.
The piece of news I liked the most is when they talk about one university basketball player.
The presenter of CNN news is Mandy Carranza. The first new is about the worst and latest attack in Pakistan (Pershamar).
More than one hundred of people were kill with a blast and two hundred were injured. The police and rescuers spend a lot of hours to make safe the street. The pakistanis were very alarmed.
The secretary of state, Hilary Clinton, said that the reason of the attack was political.
When the CNN presenter had finished to talking about the Pakistan new, started another new about NASA.
The new was the Nasa lift off Ares launch; Charlie Precourt, who is the ATK vice president, and Joe Oliva, who is Ares 1-X program manager, explained the methods to lift off Ares launch.
Another new of CNN news was the Black Tuesday that took part in 1929 in Wall Street. Some aficionados explained the history of the 1929 economic crisis in the banks. Richard Sylla, an economic and historian professor told his opinion.
To finished the program, Mandy Carranza explained the last new about a Colorado coffin race.
I think that this new is a good form to learn
english and know news about all the world.
I don’t like the first new because, i don’t like that
there are attacks in the world.
I’ve heard something on the news that said that the military services would get the vaccine of the new flu before than the other citizens, due to the fact that the doses are limited.
As far as I’m concerned, all of us have the same rights, and the unique priority above all must be the children.
I’m upset!
You are right. However, I think vaccines should be for everybody when necessary.
