Argentinians in London

Hi there!

A bonus track video clip this weekend! CNN visited a London bar where Argentine fans were watching the World Cup match between Argentina and Greece. Peek inside!
Have a look at Argentinians in London as they enjoy a football match as much as we do... but in English!

Cheers!

Same-sex Marriage and Adoption

Dear all,
These weeks are rather controversial in Argentina regarding Same-sex Marriage and Adoption. In the USA, a similar process is under way.
In today's entry we invite you to explore, along with CNN, family issues and other aspects of being gay in America. The report looks at gay marriage, adoption issues, the political ramifications and community outreach. Under no circumstances do we want to influence or change your view point on this matter, but we want to share with you all a report that was aired on June 24, 2010.

We have prepared an exercise for you to practice your listening skills (DOWNLOAD HERE), which can be solved by watching the following video.

Oil Spill Reaches Florida

Hello there!

Americans knew it was coming, but had still hoped that it might be avoided: The Gulf oil spill hit Florida on Friday as tar balls began washing up on Pensacola Beach. “Oh my God, how disgusting!” one swimmer who tried to swim in the water has told the New York Daily News. In better news, BP successfully maneuvered a cap over the oil gusher on Thursday; however, oil continues to spill into the ocean. President Obama is set to visit the Louisiana coast again on Friday.
Today, we bring you a report on how Tourism will be affected as the oil spill reaches Florida. In case, there are words you can not understand we provide you with the TRANSCRIPT TO THE CLIP.

Enjoy!
