Big Brother is watching you!

The idea on which the reality show "Big Brother" is based comes from a novel called 1984 by George Orwell. The book is a wonderful read and confronts us with the risks of a totalitarian government. You can watch the trailer and read the author's biography.

Reading and the Internet

Do you read fewer books because of the Internet? Listen to this dialogue and check if their opinion is the same as yours. You can listen to it and read at the same time. You can also click on the buttons on the side and practise the new expressions used.
I'm looking forward to your comments about this controversial topic.
