Pride and Prejudice



Now let's all watch the 2011 multi-awarded American short film Pizza Verdi. Just below it you may find a transcription of the few words which are spoken. Enjoy it!




SCRIPT


BLACK MAN: What's up!

WHITE WOMAN: Hi!

BLACK MAN: [Do] I owe you some money or something?

WHITE WOMAN: No, you paid me last week.

BLACK MAN: Hey yo! Did you clean my guestroom? My cousin left a mess.

WHITE WOMAN: Yeah. I found your watch...up there I...

BLACK MAN: Yeah! (he shows it on his wrist).

WHITE WOMAN: Bye.

BLACK MAN: Yo, Gina!

WHITE WOMAN: Gilda.

BLACK MAN: Uh?

WHITE WOMAN: My name is Gilda.

BLACK MAN: Yeah. Well, you should really keep the door shut while you're here. You never know who's wandering the halls...and I got some expensive shit in here.

WHITE WOMAN: Sorry Mr. Reggie. Of course. Goodbye.

Forks, spoons, knives and fat!

Are you a healthy person? Yes, no, more or less? Do you practice a sport? Do you eat lots of hamburgers, pizzas, chips and all that stuff? One of the major problems that are gaining weight nowadays (I couldn't have said it better myself) is childhood obesity. Not very long ago, in November, reports pointed out that 16% of Spanish children suffer from this issue.

As this percentage tends to go up, we found it interesting and useful to show you the trailer of a programme from a famous English chef known worldwide. He first achieve a transformation of the British school food programme and then he turn to the US in order to achive his second victory over unhealthy food. That's right! We're talking about Jamie Oliver and we would like you to take a look at this short video. Hope you like it!

WELCOME ABOARD!

WELCOME TO OUR GRAND NEW BLOG!

First of all a little presentation, we are Eduardo García Fernández and José Manuel García Castañón. We both have a degree in English Language and we are mates in a master course in teaching.

Apart from all that, we hope this blog can make everyone aware of the importance of ethics and moral values in a world where it seems that everyone can do whatever they want no matter the cost. In this way, we intend to help students understand the importance of ethics in our modern and ever-changing society, and this is also applicable to anybody who is willing to just take a quick look at our blog, no matter age, gender, religion or whatever.
