ELLO ACCIDENT
http://www.elllo.org/video/1301/1321-Diego-Accidents.htm
Hello, I’m Diego from Mexico. And today I’m gonna talk about vehicle accidents. Uhm, everyday I drive a scooter to school. Actually my university’s located around of mountains so it’s quite a drive. Anyways, I was driving to school like every morning and this lady didn’t see me coming and I was on her left hand side and she basically were like uh, you know, going at the same speed and then she basically turned without putting her blinkers on or anything and she didn’t even break. So she hit me and me and my scooter flew like three meters and it was, I don’t know, it all happened in the blink of an eye, pretty much.
The police came, the ambulance came, and it was a bit overwhelming because there was all these people around me, and everybody was asking me if I was okay, and they were shaking me and they’re like “Are you okay, are you okay?” Thank God, nothing happened to me. I was just a bit bruised up. But it makes you wonder why there are reckless drivers out there. So for everybody out there who owns a car, please, drive safely.

DO YOU WORRY ABOUT MONEY? PRE INTERMEDIATE
http://www.elllo.org/video/1301/1308-Hector-Money.htm
http://www.elllo.org/video/1301/1308-Hector-Money.htm
Hello, this is Hector from Puerto Rico. The question is: do I worry about money?
Of course I do. Without money you basically can't do anything in this world. So it's always important to save your money because you never know when you're going to need them in the near future and you always want to have some saved in the bank or wherever you can save them, so if that emergency comes, you'll be able to use it, and everything will be OK. Cause it's not always good to think about the present, but to think about the future of your life, your children if you have family and everything else.
Thanks a lot for listening.

AU PAIR
Rio de Janeiro is Brazil’s second largest city. It is one of the most beautiful and exciting cities in the world and probably the most visited city in all of South America. Rio’s world famous carnival, its sandy white beaches and famous landmarks attract millions of visitors each year. The city has been chosen to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, the first time a South American city will be host to the event. Rio de Janeiro was Brazil’s capital until 1960.
Problems
Despite its beauty and attraction for tourists, Rio de Janeiro has many problems. The most pressing is crime. Rio is considered one of the most dangerous cities in the world, with more than 6000 murders every year. Apart from that drug trafficking and police corruptionare widespread, especially in and around the favelas. Many of the city’s poor people are not employed, children do not attend schools.
Over the past years, growing traffic has become a major problem for city planners. Rio de Janeiro cannot expand because it issurrounded by mountains. In addition, the city’s services cannot cope with the growing pollution of beaches and other public places.

This is a photo of my lovely family.
That’s my Irish husband, Tim. Tim’s a doctor He’s short and not very handsome. He’s got fair skin and short black hair. He’s a very good doctor but he’s very lazy; he sleeps a lot. He’s 35. Tim loves watching TV in bed and he watches TV all the weekend. He hates going out because he doesn’t like places with a lot of people and also because he hates driving!!! We have got four children and a pet, a fat and black cat. Her name’s Miau. Miau is very lazy and she eats very much!!! Miau’s food is very expensive, a kilo of Miau’s cat food costs € 45.50 (forty five Euros and fifty cents). Every week, Miau eats 10 kilos of cat food!!!

Our children are Joshua, Joseph, John, and Joana. They were all born in Germany where we now live. Joshua’s the baby and he’s only 11 months old. He’s fat, and he hasn’t got any hair. He’s only got two teeth and he cries very much!!! Joseph and Joana are twins. They’ve got brown hair and dark eyes and they’re not fat. They are 6 years old and they study in a local public school. They love playing video games on the computer and eating chocolate but they don’t like studying very much… They are very lazy like their father. John is 9 years old and he’s got curly blonde hair like me. He’s active and he loves going to school and studying Maths and English. He hates playing video games and watching TV. He also hates eating chocolate but he loves eating vegetables and fruit.

Oh, my name is Silvia and I’m from Scotland, United Kingdom and I’m 32 years old. I’ve got curly blonde hair and dark eyes. I’m a housewife. I love gardening and cooking delicious food and sweets for my husband and children. I also love taking my children to play in the park every morning and afternoon on the weekend and when they are on holiday. I hate watching TV and staying in bed; I prefer going out to the lovely parks and shopping places in our city… I usually go out with the children and my husband stays home with Miau, in bed, watching TV!!!
