Madonna's tribute to Michael

Michael Jackson was not one of my favourite artists but I'm still kind of obsessed with his premature, untimely death. I don't like Madonna's music either, but she paid a honest, heartfelt, and moving tribute to the late King of Pop the other day at the MTV awards.

She speaks clearly and beautifully, and uses this 'so do I', 'neither do I' you'll be doing just next week . There are a lot more things in her speech you'll probably be doing anytime soon, so why don't you take your time and listen to her? And if you have any problems, here's the script (you can actually watch the video from this page too -MTV- probably with better sound).

Notes and Queries

Since the first unit in your book is about questions (direct, indirect, tag questions... you remember all that, don't you?) have a look at The Guardian "Notes and Queries" (originally called "Nooks and Crannies") in which readers can post the weirdest questions and they'll always have someone from the opposite end of the world answering them. According to The Guardian, this is the place "where readers waste their time answering questions that only fools and geniuses would dream of. Questions so bizarre, so perverse, so seemingly trivial - and yet so relentlessly persistent - that they refuse to go away. "
Over the years, this section has become so successful that the questions posted by readers have been put into different categories.

So if you ever had a question and you were too afraid to ask , The Guardian Notes and Queries is the place to go (click on the image and you'll be taken there)-or post your question here (like "How can you live without a monolingual dictionary?") and maybe someone will come up with an answer!
