An advertisement that teaches us something...

We are exposed to an endless number of adverts every single day, aren´t we?
Ads are all over (we see them in newspapers, on television, on posters...) and they can be of several types (humorous, informative, shocking, eye-catching, sexy, interesting and so on...).
I have seen this one on the Internet and I liked its clever way of warning people about something important.
It is a very straightforward message: if you drink it, you get to see how your car is going to look like.
The lesson is clear: don´t drink and drive. It is definitely not worth it. ;o)
A bunch of kisses!

Comic books are great fun! :oP

Comic books (or comics) are magazines which contain stories told in pictures. In my opinion, they are also a fantastic way of learning English considering that comic books are affordable, easy to be found, the stories are amusing and you can easily develop your language skills as you go through the pages entertaining yourself!

We all have our favorite characters, so it´s just a question of popping into your nearest newsstand (or newspaper stand) and choosing one that appeals to you!

I picked a special one for today´s post: Calvin and Hobbes!!! It was taken from the book which brings a collection of their wild, playful adventures! The book is called "There´s treasure everywhere", by Bill Watterson (a gift I received from a very dear friend of mine, Carol :oD).

Have fun, then! ;o)

Tip #1!!! :oD

I have been thinking about what to write today as this is going to be my very first English tip here... It took me a long time to make up my mind and what I really wanted was something optimistic, positive and nice so that it could bring good luck and good vibrations to the blog. ;o)

Hope you like my initial choice!
