CHRISTMAS IS OVER

The Christmas tree has been taken down, you have opened lots of presents and you have eaten a bit beyond your capacity. All that means it's time to go back to work. I hope you have had a good time and  recharged the batteries as you have to stick to the New Year's resolutions you have made. By the way, is one of them to improve your English? If the answer is yes, you are lucky because it will be a piece of cake. All you have to do to learn English is to keep in touch with the language. One way to fulfill that task succesfully is to listen to music in English. So, here's a pop song of the 90's that seems to have been written to revise the days of the week.

WHAT A FEAT!

In the mid-80's two young English climbers attempted to reach the summit of Siula Grande in Peru; a feat that had previously been attempted but never achieved. With an extra man looking after base camp, Simon and Joe set off to scale the mount in one long push over several days. The peak is reached, however on the descent Joe falls and breaks his leg.  Joe however survives the fall and was lucky to hit a ledge in the crevasse. This is the story of how he got back down: Touching the void (2003)
