Witness for the Prosecution
One of the greatest trial movies ever. Billy Wilder directed an amazing Charles Laughton and an even greater Marlene Dietrich, who encountered each other in court over a murder case: He's the defense lawyer, she's the witness for the prosecution. Who do you think wins this duel? Well, you will have to watch the film, but remember not to reveal the ending to anybody!!
Ah!: Did you guys spot the lack of pies in court? ;)

The Argument Clinic, by the genious Monty Python
Guys, now that we have already commited ourselves to putting something on stage for the Spring festival... We gotta start getting down to it! First step: research on what we wanna perform. The Pythons sound like a great choice to me! Here you have the sketch we watched yesterday, but try and come with some other proposals to class, will you?
BTW, don't you think an argument clinic is just an awesome way to avoid split-ups and fall-aparts with family and friends in these stressful times? We should all get a voucher for Xmas!
Note on Grammar: Never too late to practice the fabulous British question tags and short sentences!

But who on earth invented this language?
If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world! But, please, take the reading gradually, you don't wanna go totally nuts with this!
...And thanks, Lisardo, for such a great Xmas present...

Hooked on Facebook?
Most of us have already debated about the use, abuse, and misuse of social networks, haven't we? Well, those who missed Casandra's presentation yesterday might want to take a look at this video she showed in class: the "Facebook Song". I think it's pretty cool, and if nothing else, got a whole bunch of words related to social networks, so you should listen out for them! And thanks, Casandra!

Leonard Cohen - Cloze
As a reward now that you have finished, enjoy his singing, back in year 1967: The Stranger Song.

/səˈsaɪəti/
Society is a song from the original soundtrack for the film Into the Wild (2007), composed and performed by Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam vocalist). Apart from the note on pronunciation I pointed out yesterday, I believe you may find the lyrics a nice antidote against consumerist excess, especially at these dates. Enjoy!
