Oh, these temptations!!!

How to make a nice cup of tea with CHARLY - enjoy!!!

This is a very funny video - Last but not least we learn how to make a cup of tea...
This young British man is a comedian but he speaks very clearly, I think. So, listen to it several times and then you will understand everything. Fine! Enjoy!





But be careful and don't take it too seriously - it is a joke!!! And all adults who watch this, and all teachers who might get lost on this blog, please be tolerant, this is just one of the mild jokes - so don't panic - it is British humour...

vocabulary are to be found in Leo's or Beolingus - see there!!!

Americans most famous inventor. Many years ago in this laboratory  the electric light bulb was developed by Thomas Edison. The electric light bulb was just one of a thousands of patterns which came of the rich imagination of this man, Thomas Alva Edison.

What were his beginnings? what kind of boy was he?

He was born in this small house in the town of  Milan,  Ohio, in the year 1847. By the time he was six years old the boy Edison, called Al, was already showing signs of being different from other boys. He spent  a lot of time just watching things, daydreaming, the neighbours said.
