Learn vocabulary: Parts of the body

Thanks to Monica Veado's blog, I am puting this materials for you to learn and have fun. How about trying a few activities to revise parts of the body in English? First, take a look at a page where you can find a list of parts of the body with their pronunciation (click on the audio at the top of the page to activate it) . You can use the site to help you with one or more of the activities below:

• a wordsearch for beginner/pre-intermediate students
• a matching activity - choose the right part of the body from the list (pre-intermediate)
• if you prefer, you can also try an activity where you need to write the correct part of the body
• try this fun hangman with 42 words related to the body
• for advanced students, two quizzes: one about body movements and
• one with idiomatic expressions using parts of the body

Wish you to have fun!

What's New on Picasa Web Albums?

Check out some of the things they’ve recently launched. They’re working hard to make Picasa Web Albums better, and to add new features as quickly as possible. Is there a feature you’d like to see? Let us know!

Make that slideshow to go! Create a portable Flash slideshow that you can embed in your blog or any other web page, like here in this blog, click the "Embed Slideshow" link, and copy and paste the HTML shown into your website. Learn more

Bigger photo uploads They've doubled the size of the images you can upload - from 10MB to 20MB per image. As always, you can still use Picasa to reduce the file size of the photos you're uploading to Picasa Web Albums.

More free storage They've upped the free storage quota to 1GB (and counting!). That's enough room to post and share around 4,000 standard resolution photos.

Link to this album or photo It's now easier to link to an album or photo from an email, IM, or web page. Just copy and paste the url and/or HTML code we show you. Plus, pick from four photos sizes for your web page.

View Blogger photos All photos uploaded through Blogger now appear in My Photos. The titles of these Blogger web albums match the titles of their respective blog posts. Now the photos you use in both services can be managed from one place. Learn more.

Anyone can upload videos using Picasa Finally, a way to share those digital camera movies with friends. Learn more

Now available in 18 additional languages Picasa Web Albums now works in the following languages:English (UK), English (US), Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. If you are running an older version of Picasa in one of these languages, you will automatically be upgraded to the latest version of the software with the new "Web Album" button.

Anyone can now try Picasa Web Albums Now when your friends ask how they can get Picasa Web Albums for themselves, just let them know that all they need is a free Google Account.

Posting guidlines

Dear list members,

Please make sure you read these posting guidelines and keep them in mind when sending your posts to the list. Please also note that these guidelines are not unique to this list only; the information below is basically a "how-to" guide for using discussion lists.

* Personal attacks are not permitted. If you have something to say that is relevant only to the person you're replying to, please send your message to that one person only. Inappropriate messages will be rejected.

* Please be very careful when expressing your opinions. What you find acceptable might hurt the feelings of other people who have different cultural backgrounds - this is a list with members from all over the world. If I feel that a message might hurt the feelings of _any_ list member, I will reject it. Be extra cautious with generalizations and references to race, religion and gender. This is a friendly list, and I will keep it friendly.

* Please don't SHOUT. All capitals means shouting in e-mail communication. If you want to emphasize your message, use _underscores_ or *asterisks*.

* When you reply to a list message, please don't quote the whole of the original (unless it is extremely important). Delete _everything_ that is not relevant to your reply. Nobody likes to read previous messages multiple times, plus it makes the messages a lot bigger - this is completely unnecessary and very inconvenient for members with a slow connection.

* Please always make it clear where the original message ends and where your reply starts. Edit your posts carefully - it is only polite to make reading and understanding easier for list members.

* Although short messages are perfectly OK, they should always be meaningful. When somebody sends a two-page post to the list, and you quote the whole thing and only add, for example, "I agree" - well, this doesn't add much to the discussion, does it?

* Please send your messages in _plain_ _text_ _only_. HTML messages are a lot bigger, plus some members can't read them properly. Check your e-mail software settings and change the format of your messages to plain text.

* Attachments are not allowed on this list. The list server automatically deletes them, so it's no use sending them.

* Never send chain letters or messages copied from other lists. You know the type: "Send this message to 12 other people", "Nokia is giving away free cell phones", etc. Chances are that everybody has already received them in 5-10 copies, plus they are not relevant to this list.

* Please don't send your unsubscribe request to the list. The unsubscribe instructions are found in the welcome message you received (and were asked to keep) when you subscribed, both at my site and the Yahoogroups site, and they are attached to the bottom of every list message. Unsubscribe requests sent to the list will be rejected. Frankly, nobody is interested in a message that only says "Unsubscribe me" - would you? When you join a mailing list, you have certain responsibilities as well as rights - unsubscribe yourself is one such responsibility.

* Please don't try to dominate the list with your messages. Most lists don't allow more than one post per day from any given member. I don't want to strictly enforce this rule, but please give others a chance to contribute, too. If you send several messages in a row, some list members might find this intimidating. A good workaround for this is if you include all you replies in _one_ message.

Thanks for you cooperation,
