Sky news 22022010
This week we have been working very hard on a quite demanding task. We have been watching the news headlines of a TV channel. This is an incredibly demanding and tiring task. At this stage the only thing you are expected to do is to get a general idea of what the news is about. In class I asked you to get the general idea and also to write the keywords you could gather. And I must admit you did an excellent job. Congratulations! Here you will be able to watch the news again and also the script.
