READING AND LISTENING

The Caliph, Cupid and the Clock by O. Henry

We present the short story “The Caliph, Cupid and the Clock” by O. Henry. The story was originally adapted and recorded by the U.S. Department of State. Prince Michael of Valleluna sat in the park on the seat he liked best. In the coolness of the night, he felt full of life. The other seats were not filled. Cool weather sends most people home.Link

An Underground World: Carlsbad Caverns National Park

This week, we explore a national park — and UNESCO World Heritage Site — in the American Southwest. This national park, near the city of Carlsbad, New Mexico, is unusual in a major way — it is mostly underground. Carlsbad Caverns National Park contains more than 100 caves below the surface of the desert. Most are closed to the public. But anyone can visit the main attraction, one of the largest caves in the world.Link

Please Speak English at This Ice Cream Shop

You can order plenty of sweet, tasty treats at Leon’s Frozen Custard in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The restaurant’s many offerings include hot fudge sundaes, banana splits and root beer floats. But you cannot order anything in Spanish. Link

ENGLISH VIDEO CLASS

8 Expressions using BITE in English

An idiom is an expression whose meaning is not predictable from the meaning of the words it contains. For example, “It’s a biting wind today” does not mean that the wind is going around chewing on people! In this lesson, I will introduce you to eight common idioms that use the word bite. There are just eight examples in this lesson, as I didn’t want you to bite off more than you could chew! So go ahead, bite the bullet: watch the video, and take the quiz!

MUSIC

“I Miss You” – Blink-182

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare

The shadow in the background of the morgue

The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley

We can live like Jack and Sally if we want

Where you can always find me

We’ll have Halloween on Christmas

And in the night we’ll wish this never ends

We’ll wish this never ends

I miss you, I miss you

Where are you? And I’m so sorry

I cannot sleep

I cannot dream tonight

I need somebody and always

This sick strange darkness

Comes creeping on so haunting every time

And as I stared, I counted

Webs from all the spiders

Catching things and eating their insides

Like indecision to call you

And hear your voice of treason

Will you come home and stop this pain tonight

Stop this pain tonight
