Hello everyone!
Here's the original version of the song we heard in class


And this is what the song really says (in more correct English)...

EXTRA LISTENINGS

Do you have problems with your listening? Then this is for you!
Visit VOA News (Special English section) regularly and you will listen to some news read SLOWLY.
First listen to the story once or twice WITHOUT READING IT. When you feel that you understand the general idea, then LISTEN AND READ the news. It is important that you do it in this order. If you read it first, you are not testing your listening... you are just cheating!
This is the tale of the 3 little pigs... more or less! Good luck!

Tate Modern

This is the link you'll need for the search . Remember that for task 2, one is a future exhibition, the other is a current one. Good luck!

But meanwhile... have a laugh with Gomaespuminglish!

ENGLISH DICTIONARY

Do you want a free online dictionary for your computer? This is a toolbar gadget from Macmillan Dictionary for Explorer or Mozilla, you choose. It's monolingual, but you can hear the pronunciation of words too. Useful, isn't it?

Just type your word and you'll get the definition in English.
