Ellis Island
When reading chapter 2 from "American Cities" we learnt about how European immigrants entered the US. They all stopped in Ellis Island, especially between 1892 and 1954. Watch this video about the facilities they had at the time. Do you think they were enough? How would you feel?

Nikola Tesla, his is the future
Hi,
I'd like to thank every single student who turned up at the exhibition yesterday at 16:30. That shows a great interest in learning English beyond the classroom :-)
This video was sent by Fernando Muñoz. It talks about eco-design implemented in temporary exhibitions and it shows the concepts applied to the design and production of a temporary exhibition to reduce 35% of carbon emissions compared to standard practice.

El Capitan: Yosemite duo complete world's toughest climb
Free climbers Kevin Jorgesen and Tommy Caldwell reach the top of the Dawn Wall after nearly 18 days of hard work and shredded fingertips
Two climbers in California’s Yosemite national park made history on Wednesday, reaching the summit of what has been called the world’s hardest rock climb.
After weeks of herculean effort, Kevin Jorgeson, 30, and Tommy Caldwell, 36, scaled the half-mile section of exposed granite known as the Dawn Wall on El Capitan peak.
Upon clambering over the final ledge they paused, looked at each other and raised their arms in triumph.

In the Park, a by-path
This is my favourite painting at the Thyssen exhibition. I recorded a description of it in Soundcloud. Why don't you do the same and show it to us/me?
American Impressionism
Hi,
This is my recommendation for this month, a visit to the American Impressionism exhibition at Thyssen gallery in Madrid. Remember you may get a discount if you present your student's card.
The exhibition will include nearly 80 paintings that allow for an analysis of the way in which North American artists discovered Impressionism in the 1880s and 1890s and its subsequent development around 1900.
In 1886 and organized by art dealer Durand-Ruel, the first major exhibition of French Impressionist art in the U S opened its doors in New York. While artists such as Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent had spent some years living and exhibiting their work in France and enjoyed close relations with painters such as Degas and Monet, it was not until this show that American painters began to make use of the new brushstroke, brilliant colours and themes of modern life characteristic of the French movement, in some cases even visiting Paris to discover it at first hand.
