Britons 'spend six months talking about weather'
"Weather was the most common subject to break the ice when addressing strangers or even at business meetings, according to the report...
"I think it's a part of our national psyche"...
"We are a fairly reserved sort of people and talking about the weather is an easy, non-confrontational way of breaking the ice." "

Suggested activity for the beginning of the year by Paola SANCHEZ (Mexico) :
"The first day of class, I show my students the following video to raise awareness in them about the importance of education
in the 21st century world :

After they watch the video, they have to tell me five facts they considered as the most interesting...
The language is very simple and has lots of visual support."
