Natasha's listening

Hello, friends!

Today I decided to go to 'Listen a Minute' to practice my listening skills. I chose the extract under the title "Family", which is dedicated to the problems of modern family life. After having listened to the track, I tried to go to 'Quizes'. As for Quize 1, it was very easy and I passed it with 100% of right answers. Quize 2 took a lot of my time, but it was really very interesting! I had to try to guess all the words from the track "Family". I must say that was a great chance to train my memory! I liked doing that very much.

Then, as usual, I went to ESLvideo.com, because, frankly speaking, it has already become my favourite source. I chose a video under the title "Easter around the world" from Intermediate, because Easter is coming.

The episode was about Easter celebration in different countries of the world. I found a lot of new facts connected with this great holiday. For example, in Germany they burn the Christmas trees on Easter. Could you imagine that? Americans can't imagine Easter holiday without their traditional Easter chocolate bunnies. So, practically every country has its own special traditions of celebrating this holiday...
After watching the video I tried myself in answering questions and got 75%. To be frank, questions were rather difficult, because every small detail was important.  But in general I liked my today's listening.
