Two more sites to share with you.
Hello dear all!
Today I´d like to share with you two great sites that I visit in order to brush up my English.
The first one is about movies. As you already know, I´m a moviegoer and a 7th art lover :-). Do you like movies? Well, this movie review programme is on air at BBC Radio 5 and its presenters are Mark Kermonde and Simon Mayo. As you listen to it you can hear interesting vocabulary related to the movies´world (eg: a thought provoking movie). In fact, you´ll have a ball listen to this programme. Mark Kermonde and Simon Mayo have a dry sense of humour, therefore when they didn´t like of a movie... :-)
Anyway, I think it´s worthy to have a shot and listen to Mark Kermonde´s movies review. Here´s the site:

The second site is related to reading. If you aren´t so keen on reading novels this site provides 201 short stories written by Anton Tchechov. I´ve read some of them and they are fantastic.

Jo, it´s very nice to have catched up with you! Good luck with your project and all the best for you, Richard and your lovely pets :-).
Naheed, Zehra is a very talented young gal :-). Her work is really beautiful.
Adri, how interesting your blog today :-). Oh, we have something in common with. I really like the Supertramp´s song It´s Raining Again. However, my favourite Supertramp´s song is the Logical Song. I used to sing this song with my English teacher. During the classes we always burst into an old and dear song. The funny thing was that both of us were terrible singers, haha, good times :-). By the way, how is your mother-in-law? I hope everything goes well at her cardiac surgery.
Anita, although you´re tired you never forget to say hello to us :-). You´re a kind friend.
James, I like very much reading your blog. You´re creative as usual.
Leila, it´s always nice hear from you :-). I really like reading your blogs and comments.
Mercè, it´s nice to know your friend is coming to Brazil. I hope s/he enjoy visitng my country :-).
Anwar, that´s true. I´ve heard about the heavy snow in China. Even though it was raining in São Paulo we could enjoy the Chinese New Year´s celebration.
Pary, thanks for your kind words. I wish one day I could see you as a student blogger. Well, just like I´ve asked to our dear Marianna, I´m going to ask to you to think about it, ok? :-)
Good night and Good luck ;-),
Ana Paula.
