Entertainment for your Summer Vacation!

Aug 6, 2020

Hello Everyone!

I have spoken to several students who are all talking about their summer vacations! Some of you have already started your summer vacation and others are starting next week. 

Normally, many of you would be taking short trips, or going out to eat and visit with family or friends. But because of the coronavirus, many are now staying at home.

So I thought I would try to help! I'm going to put some links up to some videos or podcasats each day to help entertain you and maybe help you learn something, all while practicing your English. I'll post lots of different topics and content so that everyone will get something interesting to view.

Let's start off with two videos today. Both of these videos are for more advanced level students.

Our serious video is about a recent interview with Donald Trump about the coronavirus situation in the US. CNN's Anderson Cooper talks about his response that left many Americans shocked. This video is the harder video of the two, and is recommended for advanced students. You can watch this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP6hR2KNVm0

The next video is a funny one, posted by TED talks. This is a somewhat older video, but I have always enjoyed James Veitch and his examination of the modern world, specifically the aggravation of emails. So here is one of his comedy skits about trying to unsubscribe from email lists. This video is a little easier than the previous one, but is still recommended for upper-intermediate or lower level advanced students. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dceyy0cX6J4
 
I hope you enjoy the videos! Check back in a day or two for another column with more videos about some other topics. :)

Have a great day~
