Learn English with Ricky Gervais
Do you know who Ricky Gervais is? He is a comedian, a bit rude, if I may, starring in The Office.
Anyway, here's a funny English lesson.
Think about this:
- different ways of being ripped off
- what does kipper mean?
- how do you say 'hacer un hueco'?
- forget about the 'waxing' bit (I told you, he IS rude) (so sorry about this bit)
- NO MORE QUESTIONS!!!!!
Do you speak English?
This video is somewhere in the blog, but I enjoy it so much that I decided to upload it again.
THE TUBE
Dear all,
I've just found this video on youtube. I love it!
Can you answer these questions? (up to minute 2)
1. How many workers take care of the tube everyday?
2. What is the tube going through right now?
3. How does the speaker describe Liverpool Street Station?
4. What happens to Liverpool Street Station at weekends?
5. How do customers have to use the scalators according to the PA system announcement?
I find it very funny, don't you? If you are interested in the tube, there is a National Geographic video on the tube. Click here to learn more.
