Would you imaginea world without miracles? But my question is, do you belive in them? I think you enjoyed the film as much as I did. Now it’s time to get it down to words. Write your opinion (80-95 words) in the shape of a comment . You could take into account: what you thought the film was going to be, your favourite character, the power of evil in the world, the role of the prison guards, death penalty, etc. Would you recommend this film to a friend?
What would we do without a little bit of history? Here you have the different kingdoms that unify the United Kingdom or Great Britain. Get in groups and write down an entry about the most relevant information you learnt in class. Make a search about interesting webs to visit if wishing to go and visit the land of Shakespeare.

One of the greatest 80’s TV comedies. Students Rick, Neil, Vyvyan and Mike live in a students’ flat. Their humour can be labelled as extreme, ridiculous and very revolutionary. It has probably been one of the most enjoyable shows of the time.
The Young Ones started life as a bunch of British stand up comedians who were working on an ‘alternative comedy’ movement. Some of them were already beginning to turn up on television shows like Boom Boom…Out Go The Lights and a few other small productions.
Rik Mayall played Rik, a pompous, radical wannabe. Ade Edmondson portrayed heavy metal freak Vivian. Then there was Nigel, hippy “Neil” and finally, Mike a slightly mysterious and overwhelmingly ‘normal’ character played by Christopher Ryan. Alexi Sayle also appeared regularly as their Russian landlord Jerzy Balowski.
Rik Mayall, Lisa Mayer and Ben Elton wrote the scripts. Like most great British comedies, The Young Ones certainly owes a lot to Monty Python, but rather than coping its content, it used the Python style to take the sit-com in a whole new direction.

As you know, the more English you practice the better. So here you have very interesting web links you can use while studying English. Most of the times the different web links use to have a huge list of grammatical points, sections based on specific skills and so on. Just click away with your mouse and look for the needed exercise or test before an exam.
Practising English for the sake of practising also helps you to get to grips with the subject of English. No matter the level you have, it is always very positive to have food for thought ready before your eyes!
Here you have the links. If you click on comments, you will get your classmates’ favourite ones.
