Find out how Americans reacted to the election results and what they chose for breakfast!<br /><br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hoJG1HhBCkY?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><div class="field field-type-text field-field-tapescript"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p>...but what have you got?</p> <p><b>Sausage pattie</b>, fried egg, ham, bacon, baked beans.</p> <p>Instead of the beans I got <b>grits</b> and ...</p> <p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">What are grits?</p> <p>Grits? That’s a very good question. It’s oatmeal, <b>couscous</b>, you know a type of grain</p> <p>It’s a type of grain</p> <p>That doesn’t look grainy it looks <b>mushy</b>.</p> <p>Yeah well they cook it for like I don’t know, 20 minutes. Yeah it’s kind of like <b>porridge</b>.</p> <p>This is <b>Eggs Benedict</b>. It is egg, ham on <b>English muffins</b> with <b>Hollandaise sauce</b>. This is fruit and baked beans.</p> <p>But you are a US citizen, so you voted or?</p> <p>I voted absentee for Illinois.</p> <p>And how did you vote in the election?</p> <p>Democrat. Democrat for Obama.</p> <p>Maybe you could just tell me what your breakfast is there.</p> <p><b>Belgian waffles</b> and coffee.</p> <p>And this is a typical breakfast for you?</p> <p>If I’m eating out…yes. I’ll have <b>cereal</b> at home, but I like waffles.</p> <p>How about the election? Are you excited?</p> <p>I’m nervous, nervous yes. Pro Obama, so it’s looking good for him right now. He’s intelligent, he’s thoughtful.</p> <p>Can you see the result from there?</p> <p>I think it’s 102 -34.</p> <p>Who would you vote for?</p> <p>I think he’s Obama. He looks quite decent and gentleman.</p> <p>What did you have for your breakfast?</p> <p>I started off with a <b>fluffy</b> pancake and some maple syrup. Then I had some <b>crispy</b> bacon, scrambled eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes.</p> <p>Is that what you usually have when you come in here?</p> <p>I usually have it on election days …yes. I’d definitely vote for Obama – OBAMA! America is very important and it’s crucial that we have a decent guy in there. It’s very emotional that he’s black and that’s powerful. I don’t think a lot of people who are in their forties and fifties thought there was ever going to be a black man in the White House. So that’s fantastic. So all those things are good, they will make a difference, they will matter. I’m going to cry when he wins, I am because for me it’s deeply <b>moving</b>.</p> <p>Obama.</p> <p>Can you tell me, is it because he’s sexy?</p> <p>He’s sexier than John McCain…definitely. But erm no because I like his politics. He’s gonna develop green technology, he’s a bigger supporter of education. All those things. <b>Bagels</b> and <b>lox</b>, with tomato, onion, <b>capers</b>, sour cream.</p> <p>Wow that looks great actually. I’m waiting for lemon.</p> <p>She got a sandwich that’s already assembled. Mine is just not assembled which I prefer. Thin layer of <b>cream cheese</b>, tomato, couple of capers, onion, salmon, salt and pepper.</p> <p>So it is in fact almost exactly the same?</p> <p>Yes, but he got eggs too. And one key difference is she has two, the whole bagel whereas I only have half.</p> <p>Did you vote?</p> <p>Of course, of course.</p> <p>Everybody here voted or everyone we talked to, everyone professes to be pro Obama.</p> <p>But no this is a pro Obama outlet….hence the blue. No…</p> <p>Oh yes woo, yes</p> <p>He’s just got to keep up his end of the bargain.</p> <p>What’s that?</p> <p>Change baby change!</p> <p>Who’d like a <b>bloody Mary</b> <b>on the house</b>?</p> </div> </div> </div>Prof. Mariano Ignaciohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12578703774286802457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953786336850743183.post-17429798139511141922011-08-16T12:01:00.001-07:002011-08-16T12:07:02.843-07:00How to understand the differences between British and American English<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7MuOBR3s92c?hl=en&fs=1" allowfullscreen="" width="425" frameborder="0" height="349"></iframe>

Drivers should give way to pedestrians on the crossing, but you should be careful as there are no red traffic lights instructing drivers to stop.<br /><br />Don’t forget, pedestrians are not allowed to walk along or cross any motorway at any time.Profesores del CUIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00795270667733794910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953786336850743183.post-13194426182034940422011-06-15T12:20:00.000-07:002011-06-15T12:24:37.014-07:00Falkland man chooses Argentine citizenship<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; "><p style="color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; clear: both; font-size: 1.077em; text-rendering: auto; ">A British man, born on the Falkland Islands has become the first person from there to chose Argentine citizenship.</p><p style="color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; clear: both; font-size: 1.077em; text-rendering: auto; ">James Peck was handed his national identity card by Argentine President Cristina Fernandez, during a ceremony to mark the 29th anniversary of the end of the Falklands War.</p><p style="color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; clear: both; font-size: 1.077em; text-rendering: auto; ">Peck's father fought for the British during the conflict.</p></span><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qQfIzfxJ0J8?hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed>Profesores del CUIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00795270667733794910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953786336850743183.post-31800253330114820602011-06-10T15:06:00.000-07:002011-06-10T15:07:17.053-07:00Possessive Pronouns<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><h1 style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; ">Possessive Pronouns</h1>Click the answer button to see the correct answer.</center><form style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><ol><p></p><li>It belongs to me, it's ___<br /><select><option>Answer</option><option>mine</option></select><p></p></li><li>It belongs to my father, it's ___<br /><select><option>Answer</option><option>his</option></select><p></p></li><li>It belongs to her, it's ___<br /><select><option>Answer</option><option>hers</option></select><p></p></li><li>It belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, it's ___<br /><select><option>Answer</option><option>theirs</option></select><p></p></li><li>It belongs to me and my wife, it's ___<br /><select><option>Answer</option><option>ours</option></select><p></p></li><li>It belongs to my mother, it's ___<br /><select><option>Answer</option><option>hers</option></select><p></p></li><li>It belongs to him, it's ___<br /><select><option>Answer</option><option>his</option></select><p></p></li><li>It belongs to you, it's ___<br /><select><option>Answer</option><option>yours</option></select><p></p></li><li>It belongs to the dog, it's ___<br /><select><option>Answer</option><option>its</option></select><p></p></li><li>It belongs to them, it's ___<br /><select><option>Answer</option><option>theirs</option></select></li></ol></form><p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><span ></span></p><center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></center>Profesores del CUIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00795270667733794910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953786336850743183.post-28789014445246278892011-06-10T14:47:00.000-07:002011-06-10T14:58:57.872-07:00Words and Their Stories: When the Cat’s Away<a href="http://www.weebly.com/uploads/5/0/4/2/5042856/se-ws-cat-expressions-24apr11.mp3">Listen as you read this report on the some of the most famous expressions with the word <span style="font-weight: bold;">CAT</span>.</a><br /><br /><p>Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising that there are many expressions about cats. Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries. If someone looks very proud or satisfied with himself, we say he <strong>looks like the cat that ate the canary. </strong></p> <p>Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches.</p> <p>So if you<strong> play cat and mouse with someone</strong>, you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a child might offer something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it.</p> <p>A cat will often catch a small animal and present it to its owner. The saying <strong>that looks like something the cat dragged in </strong>describes something in bad condition.</p> <p>Two old and funny expressions describe something that is the best or finest. Americans might say that something is <strong>the cat's meow</strong> and <strong>the cat's pajamas. </strong></p> <p>Children might call a child who is easily frightened a <strong>fraidy cat</strong> or a <strong>scaredy cat</strong>. A <strong>copycat </strong>is someone who acts just like someone else or copies another person's work. A<strong> fat cat </strong>is a person with a lot of money.</p> <p>You may have known that cats spend most of their time sleeping. Sometimes people sleep for a short time during the day. This is called a <strong>cat nap.</strong></p> <p>If you tell about something that was supposed to be a secret, we say you <strong>let the cat out of the bag</strong>. If you are not able to speak or answer a question someone might ask if <strong>the cat has got your tongue.</strong></p> <p>Have you ever watched children in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? <strong>When the cat's away, the mice will play </strong>means people sometimes misbehave when there is no supervision.</p> <p>You may have heard this expression: <strong>curiosity killed the cat</strong>. This means being too concerned about things that are not your business might cause problems.</p> <p>If your home is very small, you might say <strong>there is not enough room to swing a cat. </strong>But you probably should not try this at home!</p> <p>If you ever had cats as pets, you know it is difficult to train them or to get them to do something. Cats are not like sheep or cows that can be moved in a group.
