Dear diary...

The Diary of Anne Frank is one of the world's best known diaries. How many people have read it since it was published in 1947?


a) 10 million
b) 17 million
c) 31 million


Today everyone has a diary, a blog, most of us .. we had one when we were small in which we put what we had passed and that ...
But those papers serve to convey important information.

I've struggled a bit, because as I always say there are words that do not know or they are written, or it is and not as pronounced.

Some words are: further, chronicled, worldwide, reassure ...

Fighting poor sanitation

Health problems caused by poor sanitation are killing many more children than HIV/Aids, tuberculosis and malaria combined. If the world spent 10.8 billion dollars in 2004-2006 on HIV/Aids, how much do you think was spent in the same period on improving sanitation?



a) $1.5bn

b) $15bn
c) $50bn



I have chosen this topic because I find it very sad that more money is spent on fixing things that are not worth it or putting things that are good for nothing ... and that children worldwide are dying from diseases that could have a remedy ...


I has cost since it has a technical vocabulary to help me ... I had written conversation and dictionary.


Of course there have been no words that could not pronounce, like: sanitation, waste, poisoned, infected,...among other

Quieter London

What measures do you think the experts propose in order to bring more quiet to the area around The Monument in the City of London?

a) screening from the noise;
b) traffic calming;
c) greening the area up, or
d) all of the above?

I chose this topic because in my house most weekends is expensive sleep ... because I have a neighbor who does not respect sleep and as they really do not know who it is we can not denounce. For all this I see very well that in some places put measures to reduce or eliminate the noise ...

It took me like all the interviews .. but this has cost me a little month because they did not use highly technical words or strange expressions.

Of course there were words I could not pronounce or slurred ... as: pros and cons, buzzing, ...

Spider Invasion

How many known spider species are there in the world today? Is it:

a) 2000

b) 20,000

c) 40,000

I have chosen this topic because I'm afraid of spiders...I don't have a phobia but I do not like...

This interview cost me ... because for me was enough terms that he did not understand .. but I've had a lot of reading and watching complication using the dictionary.

There are many words that have surprised me how to pronounce some words ... I gave them another pronunciation and I have heard that although mispronouncing continue ... as arachnophobia, scary, among other ...

Santa Claus

Where does Santa Claus live?

a) The North Pole
b) Iceland
c) Norway


I have chosen this topic because we are in these dates. Santa Claus has been restore in the Spanish culture very a few years ago... I received the first presentbecause one year all my cousins had a present and my sister and I couldn't be less ... so Santa Claus came to my house.

Not me to side to understand it, only in some parts...but little by little I go understanding it better.

I have not known as it was declaring several words ... because I didn't know as the words wasn't even writing each other, as: personifies, sack, outdoorsman...

House swap

According to a recent survey which is the most popular destination for UK home swaps?
a) Australia
b) UK
c) USA


I have chosen this topic really because my favourite movie treats on it. The movie is called the vacations.
I believe that I would not be capable of leaving my house another person and less if it is not known.


It has not been difficult to me greatly it to understand except for any words that or I had never seen or those words that I was not declaring well.


Always there will be words that I cannot declare, since: swap, suitcase, smug ... between others.

Mr Smith or John?

A survey was carried out in Britain into dress-codes at work. What percentage of people do you think said they'd prefer to be given a precise dress-code, i.e. told what kind of clothes they should wear?

a) 5%
b) 23%
c) 85%


I have chosen this topic since I know many persons who do not know as must behave in a place or in other one ... because as with whom you are you can speak of you or of you. And it is essential to know it.

This text me to seemed more complicated that the previous ones ... I have it had listen often to catch it well but equally it costs me.

If, there were words that I could not declare like: sir, colleagues, lack,…
