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
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.

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!!!

Airport English
Airports are stressful even in your own native country. Practise these English phrases before you travel to English speaking destinations.
Tip: Print these and keep them as a “cheat sheet” in your carry-on luggage.
Questions you will hear at the check-in counter:
Ticket please. May I see your ticket? Do you have an e-ticket? Do you have some photo ID? How many bags are you checking? Did you pack these bags yourself? Do you have a carry-on bag? (a bag or purse to take on the airplane) Do you require special assistance? (example a “wheelchair”) Have you paid your airport improvement fee/tax? Would you like a window or an aisle seat? (aisle is pronounced “eye + l”)
Problems you may hear:
Your baggage is overweight. (Remove some contents or pay a fine.) Your carry-on luggage is too large. Your flight is delayed. (It’s late.) Your flight has been cancelled. (You must rebook a new flight) Your connecting flight/connection has been cancelled/is delayed. Your ticket is expired. Your passport is expired.
Commands and questions at the Security Checkpoint:

Do you have any change in your pockets? Do you have any metals? Do you have any food/produce? Do you have any liquids or medicine? Walk through. You must dump all food or beverages. (You can’t bring it through the gates.)
Questions YOU may need to ask:

Is my connection on time? Where do I collect my baggage? Where can I find a taxi? Where is the departure gate? Where is the arrival gate? Where is the check-in desk for ….airlines? Where is the domestics level? Where is the international level?

Are you ready to take a trip? We’re going to start a series of lessons on practical English for use while traveling. Today we’re going to go through the airport step by step, learning important vocabulary and useful phrases along the way.
Conversation #1 – At the Check-In Desk
Dan is flying from New York to Los Angeles. When he arrives at the airport, he goes to the check-in desk. Listen to the conversation he has with the agent:
Agent: Good afternoon! Where are you flying to today?
Dan: Los Angeles.
Agent: May I have your passport, please?
Dan: Here you go.
Agent: Are you checking any bags?
Dan: Just this one.
Agent: OK, please place your bag on the scale.
Dan: I have a stopover in Chicago – do I need to pick up my luggage there?
Agent: No, it’ll go straight through to Los Angeles. Here are your boarding passes – your flight leaves from gate 15A and it’ll begin boarding at 3:20.Your seat number is 26E.
Dan: Thanks.
Conversation Vocabulary and Phrases
·Instead of “Where are you flying today?” the agent may ask “What’s your final destination?” The answer will be the same!
·You can say “Here you go” anytime you give something to somebody
·To check your bags means to put them on the airplane inside the cargo compartment. The small bag you take with you on the airplane is called a carry-on. You need to put your carry-on bags through the X-ray machine at security.
·The scale is the equipment that tells you the weight of your luggage (45 kilograms, for example)
·A stopover or layover is when the airplane stops in a different city before continuing to the final destination
·If the agent says that your luggage will go straight through, it means it will go directly to the final destination (and you don’t need to pick it up during your stopover)
·Boarding passes are the tickets that permit you to enter the airplane
·When a plane begins boarding, it means that the passengers start to enter the plane. Usually boarding time is 30-60 minutes before takeoff (when the plane leaves)
Other Questions & Phrases for the Airport
“Excuse me, where is the American Airlines check-in desk?”
·“Where is terminal 4?”
·“Where is gate 36?”
·“How many bags can I check?”
·“Will my luggage go straight through, or do I need to pick it up in [Chicago]?”
·“How much is the fee?”If your bag is heavier than the weight limits, or if your bag is larger than the size limits, you may need to pay extra. an oversized baggage fee or overweight baggage fee (this can be $75 to $300). Some airlines in the United States also charge a fee for ALL checked bags (usually $15 to $30).
·“Please mark this bag as ‘fragile.’”Say this if you have fragile or sensitive items in your bag that might break
·“Is the flight on time?”The agent will respond either “Yes” if the flight is on time, or “There’s a 20-minute delay” (for example) if the flight will leave later than expected.
Extra questions in the U.S.
On flights going to or inside the U.S., you will probably be asked some extra security questions before or during check-in. Here are some sample questions:
Answer YES to these questions:Did you pack your bags yourself?
·Has your luggage been in your possession at all times?
·Are you aware of the regulations regarding liquids in your carry-on?
Are you carrying any firearms or flammable materials?
·Have you left your luggage unattended at any time?
·Has anyone given you anything to carry on the flight?
Conversation #2 – Going through Security
There are two pieces of equipment in security: you put your bags through the X-ray machine, and you walk through the metal detector. The X-ray machine has a conveyor belt that moves your bags automatically through the machine. You can put small items like keys or money into plastic bins.
Agent: Please lay your bags flat on the conveyor belt, and use the bins for small objects.
Dan: Do I need to take my laptop out of the bag?
Agent: Yes, you do. Take off your hat and your shoes, too.
(he walks through the metal detector)
[BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP]
Agent: Please step back. Do you have anything in your pockets – keys, cell phone, loose change?
Dan: I don’t think so. Let me try taking off my belt.
Agent: Okay, come on through.
(he goes through the metal detector again)
Agent: You’re all set! Have a nice flight.
The phrase “you’re all set” is a common expression that means “you’re finished and everything is OK.”
Phrasal Verbs: SET OFF and GO OFF
When the alarm sounds, we say “the alarm went off.” To describe what caused the alarm to sound, we say “set off” – for example, “My keys set off the alarm” or “My keys set off the metal detector.”
Announcements at the Gate
Airports are divided into terminals (the major sections of the airport) and each terminal has many gates. The gate is the door you go through to enter the airplane. Here are a few announcements you might hear while you are at the gate, waiting for the plane to board.
·“There has been a gate change.”(this means the flight will leave from a different gate)
·“United Airlines flight 880 to Miami is now boarding.”
(this means it’s time for passengers to enter the plane)
·“Please have your boarding pass and identification ready for boarding.”
·“We would like to invite our first- and business-class passengers to board.”
·“We are now inviting passengers with small children and any passengers requiring special assistance to begin boarding.”
·“We would now like to invite all passengers to board.”
(this means everyone can enter the plane)
·“This is the final boarding call for United Airlines flight 880 to Miami.”
(this means it is the FINAL OPPORTUNITY to enter the plane before they close the doors)
·“Passenger John Smith, please proceed to the United Airlines desk at gate 12.”
Conversation #3: On the plane
The people who work inside the airplane serving food and drinks are called flight attendants. Both men and women who have this job are called flight attendants. Listen to this conversation that Dan has with the flight attendant when dinner is served on the flight.
Flight attendant: Chicken or pasta?
Dan: Sorry?
Flight attendant: Would you like chicken or pasta?
Dan: I’ll have the chicken.
Flight attendant: Anything to drink?
Dan: What kind of soda do you have?
Flight attendant: Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Orange, and Dr. Pepper.
Dan: A Diet Coke, no ice, please.
Flight attendant: Here you go.
Dan: Thanks.
Conversation Tips:
If you didn’t understand what the flight attendant said, you can say Sorry? or Pardon? to ask him or her to repeat it.
If you want to ask for something, you can use the phrase “Can I have…?” or “Could I have…?” Practice your pronunciation with these common requests:
“Can I have a pillow?”
·“Can I have a blanket?”
·“Can I have a pair of headphones?” / “Could I have a headset?”
·“Could I have some water/coffee/tea?”
