Yes, taxes are important but we also have to consider: crime, education, weather, employment...

amazing, so how many days can a giraffe go without water ?

very interesting

yes, in English everything is more abbreviated, they use a lot of acronyms, it saves time and once you learn them ,you use them automatically.

the comedy 2 Broke Girls is funny

I love America´s got talent, what do you think of the winner?

Breaking Bad has been recommended to me by several students so I will try to watch it

I think they are related, I have read about linguistic intelligence, which is based on Howard Gardner´s theory of multiple intelligences.

Proper grammar is important, especially in written English ( documents, speeches, articles, research papers ).

I heard that in the past people used to wash their dollar bills sometimes, is it true?

Tv series can add a fun and enriching element to a class, I use videos from different tv shows in my classes and then we work on the vocabulary and grammar points

Si, portugués es mas fácil si ya sabe español

seaside resorts make great holiday destinations
