As we have seen in class, being a spy can be an interesting, but also a dangerous, way of living - thank God, lots of gadgets are always available to make life easier, as you will see in the videos in blocks I (spies) and II below (gadgets).
Task: pick up one video from each block and, after watching them as many times as necessary, send a comment to your teacher summarising the one from block (I) and giving your opinion on the gadgets appearing in the video from block (II). You must do this in class.
I)
Casino Royale - The poisoning
MacGyver
Mata Hari
II)
Megawhat.tv
No problems with you English? Then click on this article on the invisibility cloak developed at Duke University. After reading the article and watching the video, comment on the risks and benefits of having and using such a cloak.

1st years - Laughing matters
Here are a few funny clips for you to enjoy. Watch and listen to them a couple of times; if necessary, use the subtitled fragments (remember you should select a fragment according to your level!).
Task: Write a summary of at least two of the fragments and, after deciding which one you liked most, write a short comment justifying why. Do not forget to write your name at the end of the comment and to send it to your teacher.
You can select your own video, but remember that it has to be in English (with or without subtitles) and that you have to include the link in your comment so that we can add it to the blog.
Just for champs: maybe you would like to check this link and tell us why D. Letterman, Johnny Depp and the whole audience laugh - what is the matter? How about some Roger Rabbit? Can you write a brief summary of the first part of the video (up to min. 4:10)=

Mr. Bean having an exam
Little Britain – The reverend

- Beauty is nothing without brains (no subtitles)
- Makes good better (no subtitles)
