Some News

This blog has been working since February but this could be its “official presentation”. It is intended for those who want to improve their language skills by reading or listening to actual English, although you can also write.

The design of the blog has kept changing and I would like to talk you about some new things you can find here. Firstly, if you go down the “home page”, below the posts, you can see “The Quote of the Day” which shows a new quote every day together with its author’s name. It is also “Today in History” where you can learn things that happened the same day but in different years.

Below this, there is a funny “School Excuse Generator” which can help you find excuses when you are late or fail an exam. On the left you have also a “text to voice” device which reads aloud any text you paste there. Besides, it can translate it into Spanish.

Then, there is an “International News” page, in which you can know the latest news published by BBC, CNN, USA TODAY and TIME. You can also listen to the news broadcast by REUTERS.

As you can see, little by little, this blog is taking shape and, at the moment, I am thinking over some new things to improve it. I hope you will help me to do it with your suggestions.
