Hello Daniela,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that TEDtalks is a very useful online tool to teach English. Apart from training listening you can also acquire knowledge about a wide variety of interesting topics and issues wich are discussed worldwide. Despite the fact that I really like how you organized the information and ideas in your post It was difficult for me to read with letters in pink. Moreover, the entry is a litte bit bland in terms of ilustration, I would have liked to see more images. I hope you consider my advice in your next entry.
