Last year, while I was browsing the Net looking for websites I could use with my students, I came across Freshtopia. I loved their fun and entertaining videos, in which they show you how to make yummy and healthy dishes, among many other things. I contacted them to ask them if they would mind me using their videos in my classes and they just loved the idea and they even included a specific feature on Luarca on their vlog, regaling us with their own very special version of paella.

Why don’t you visit their site and watch some of their shows? If you would like to check out their last post, click on the picture below. You might even try the smoothie out yourself. If you dare, please leave a comment.

On Thursday 15th November, my 5th year students did this listening comprehension exercise during our lesson. If you are one of them and did not show up, or if you are just visiting this blog and would like to try and do it, you can read, download or print the questions in the document below and then listen to the recording that follows it.

Good luck!

This is a listening comprehension activity we did in our 5th year class on 8th November. It deals with several forms of alternative medicine. You will hear some people commenting on their experiences with acupuncture, hypnosis and other kinds of medical treatment.

On the pdf file below, you can see the questions you have to answer about  four extracts. For each one of them, choose one of the options given, A, B or C.

Good luck!
