The Globe Theater

In this link you can listen to the recording about the Globe Theater we did yesterday in class. Mind that our listening was 3minutes 15 seconds long, not 9 minutes.
Questions are in the "Comentarios"

Vocab:
- wadding: any soft material used for filling a space, especially in order to protect something or to give something shape
- boning: corsets and some dresses are boned, meaning that they are made with strips of plastic or metal boning inside them to give them structure and shape. (armado)

You can have a panoramic look from the Globe Theater area by the River Themes in London. Isn't it a nice place to visit?
