I've just watched a few videos on the RSA Animate website (there's an example below). I think these videos are a fantastic resource for English learners. If you can't watch the YouTube version, go to the RSA link above and choose the download option.
Thank you for uploading such a great video.It was really interesting and outstanding.

It is similar to academic lecturing style, great for the last part of the listening test.
Thanks Simon!!

Dear Simon
I am Pantheia from Iran and I managed to score 7.5 in writing only by reading your weblog and writing a few essay and reports which were even never corrected! Thank you so much. I owe you so much.
God bless you.

Hello Simon,
I am preparing for exam dated 27th October 2012. So please input something. Actually this is not query, but still good to know.
I regularly follow your blog and practice accordingly. Now I know that, in opinion type of essay, we can use "I believe" or "I think", in body paragraph also.
During my practice, I often come up with the phrase like, we can... ,We should...,
For Example,
- the government could make strict rules to deter the criminals.
- We can make strict rules to deter the criminals.
(Please note that, I use "we" as a whole society.)
My Question:
So is there any rules for using the word "we". Can we use it in our essay ? or should I have to avoid.
Please if possible, reply ASAP, as I will be sitting in exam after three days.
Thank you,
HP

Dear Simon,
Why do they write "Civilisation", in the video ?
I thought the right spelling for this word was "Civilization".
Kind regards,
Lloyd.
