 Rainy Day!
Nydja talks about what she like to do on a rainy day.
Hi, this is Nydja and I'm from the United States. I'd like to tell you about six things that I enjoy doing on a rainy day.One of the things I enjoy doing on a rainy day is reading. I like to read books on a rainy day because when it's gloomy outside, a good book can brighten my mood. One of my favorite books to read on a rainy day would be Jane Eyre.
One of the other things, I enjoy doing on a rainy day is going over to my friend's house or having them come over to my house, and we just go outside and sit on the porch. We talk about what's been going on in our lives and maybe have some hot tea or cocoa to warm us up.
Some of the other things that we do on a rainy day is we go out to the movies and sometimes we spend the entire day out there. We'll find two or three movies we really want to see, maybe long movies and just spend the who day at the theater.
Sometimes, when it's raining you don't want to go outside, so I tend to stay in and redecorate my house. Move all the furniture around. Rehang pictures that I haven't had up in awhile. Just change what's going on inside since I can't change the rain.
Sometimes because it's not too bad on the roads, I like to go for long drives on backroads that aren't too busy and just see the rain outside and to take in all the scenery.
The last thing that I enjoy doing on a rainy day would have to be baking a warm meal, maybe a cake or a roast. Something that would really warm up the house get rid of all the cold.

Hi. My name is Mike. I'm from Canada and the question is how often do you ride your bike? Well, I recently bought a new bike about three months ago and sadly enough I don't often ride my bike because I'm really busy with work. So I've only had a handful of times, maybe four or five times, where I've had a chance to ride my bike but the bike I bought is a road bike and it goes really fast on the road so I'm looking forward to riding more in the future.

HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR WIFE?
PRE INTERMEDIATES AND INTERMEDIATES

http://www.elllo.org/english/0551/597-Michael-Marriage.html 


Todd: Hey, Michael, I just met your wife. She's a really nice woman. Really friendly.
Mike: Yeah. yeah. We met a long time ago. We've been married a lot of years, now.
Todd: How did you meet actually?
Mike: Oh, gosh, we back when we were both students, at Arizona State University in Tempe Arizona, and I had volunteered to be one of the tour guides for new students, foreign students who just coming in for that school year, and it was the end of August, and it was very steamy, a very hot day, and I remember I met the students, there were maybe four or five of them at the Student Union for this walking orientation tour of the campus. It's a beautiful campus, by the way, and so, you know, I remember she was sitting on this bench and I went and, you know, she smiled at me and I smiled at her, and there was some kind of spark.
Todd: Yeah, yeah, like a connection.
Mike: There was a connection. There was a connection there, and I, you know, we went on this walking tour of the campus and when we were you done, you know, I kind of reluctantly, sort of said goodbye to her and the rest of the group, and you know, kind of said, see you around, and I think the next day even, she went found out who I was and where I worked and she dropped in my office.
Todd: Wow, that's pretty cool. That's pretty romantic.
Mike: It was very cool. Very romantic. You know the funny thing is, that particular bench, where we met, on our anniversary, 20th anniversary, we went back to the campus (no way) where we met and we took a picture of ourselves on the same bench because this is where we first met.
Todd: What a great story.
Mike: It was very cool to go back there.
Todd: So, in terms of your personality, how are you guys similar?
Mike: How are we similar? Oh, man, I think we're more different than anything. I think our biggest similarity is that we're both so different, in other words that we're both very tolerant (yeah) of people who are different and so we, you know we kind of get along. We have an understanding that's we're going to misunderstand each other most of the time.
Todd: Right, right.
Mike: But we sort of approach that with a kind of humor and flexibility so I think that's what makes our relationship work is that we got that kind of agreement.
Todd: So you think that's the key to any successful marriage?
Mike: Is not getting so upset at misunderstanding each other or kind of using misunderstanding as a way of getting to know each other. I think that is one of the keys.
Todd: That's nice. Thanks.
Mike: Sure.

HAVE YOU  RAISED AN ANIMAL

http://www.elllo.org/video/1101/V1108-Camp.htm


Hello, my name is Aiko, I'm from Japan and my question is have you raised an animal and my answer is yes. I have raised quite a few animals actually. I had a bird and hamster and dogs but my strongest memories with my pets are from my very young days. I merely kept insects and amphibians because when I was a child I suffered from asthma and I wasn't allowed to have any furry animals for quite a long time. I enjoyed observing the insects' habit. For example, whilst I kept quite a few crickets, one cricket loved watermelon. He didn't eat anything but watermelon and another one loved cabbage.
I was also into what I called categorization. I collected wood lice and then I separated females from males and another example is I collected tadpoles and I put the tadpoles with tails together. I really enjoyed my days with my small animals but my Mum certainly did not. One day I decorated my shoulders with caterpillars. They were really big, fat and colorful and beautiful but my Mum found this very gross and it made her scream.

VIDEO SOCIAL MEDIA

PRE INTERMEDIATE AND INTERMEDIATES

http://www.elllo.org/video/1151/V1165DanialMedia.htm
Hey, my name is Daniel and I'm from Chile and the question is should children be allowed to use social media? Well, there's a whole dilemma and there's a whole debate about it and I get the point. I know it's very risky because you don't really know who is on the other side and, you know, it might seem, like to children it might seem like there's a very friendly person but at the end it might be something kind of tricky. So if you take that point, I mean kids shouldn't be allowed to use social media. But on the other hand, I think it's better if they do because it's not, the problem is not about social media itself. I think it's because the problem is about how parents raise their children and what values they teach to them so I think if children are raised properly with like strong values, there's no problem towards social media. I think social media is as risky or as good as any other thing that we have now so I should focus a bit more on how parents raise children.

KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FAMILY

http://www.elllo.org/video/1151/V1163OlgaCallFamily.htm



Hello. My name is Olga. I'm from Mexico. The question is how do you keep in touch with your 




family? Well, I always use the cell phone because it's the easiest way to call anyone, my dad, my


 mom, my brother and sister. But when I am away then I use internet of course like Facebook. 


For example, like my brother and my sister they have Facebook accounts so I can actually send 


her, send them, messages any time. Well, to my grandparents or my uncle and aunts, I usually 


use Skype. It's actually very easy to call them to their phones and then for my mom she knows 


how to use a computer really well so I always email her and with my dad he actually likes to use 


the video to call me, to call me on my phone so we actually use Skype or Facetime all the time.

PRE INTERMEDIATE / INTERMEDIATE

http://www.elllo.org/video/1151/V1164BradSocialMedia.htm 



The first thing I'm going to talk about is my family using social media and, you know, I usually talk to my brother on Facebook or, you know, we'll post or tweet to each other just little things we're doing during the day. It's kind of more casual than email so it's kind of more relaxed. You don't feel the pressure of having to write in complete sentences and watching your grammar and I don't know what it is about the format that let's you sort of be a little more intimate with people than you would in say a formal, in a letter or email format. So, yeah, my family and I do use social media a lot like Facebook. My mother doesn't use it so much. I think older people are maybe more reluctant to share stuff on the internet but as for my brother and I, yeah, we always, we always use social media and we really like it. Thanks very much.

From the moment I first saw you
All the darkness ...............................................
An impressionistic painting
Tiny particles of light
It seem to me is what you're like
The "look but please don't touch me" type
And honestly ................................................
