Talking about Melting Pots... Market Days


Talking about melting pots the other day, we finished the class watching the following short film which actually illustrates this very fact in a market place in the US. Click on the video below if you feel like tasting the human feelings treasured in it one more time... I'd like to thank my former student Carlos Crespo for showing this endearing story to me, and to you.

Market Days, Synopsis

Randall spends his days imagining the vibrant inner lives of various vendors at the multicultural urban market where he works: none more so than Angela, an angel with her own pastry shop. But Randall's inattention to his work lead to a string of thefts and soon threatens to cost him his job. A chance encounter with a beautiful starlet and her lapdog provides Randall not only an opportunity to break the ice with Angela, but a chance to prove his worth to everyone at the market - including himself.

One Headlight by the Wallflowers

Remember singing along to an English hit song was another good strategy to work on our fluency in English? Well, your classmate Paco sent me this song to kick off the karaoke season. Not only did he send the link to the video,  he also prepared and intro to the song, and edited the lyrics. You will find everything below. Thanks Paco for all this! Great song!
