Just finished. It was Assange in English, Gabilondo in Spanish, on TV, but here there’s simultaneous translation, so if you find it as in the original, please, post the link!
My notes on two ideas Assange mentions:
Assange, interviewed by Gabilondo
G: Fear of going to prison being accused of major crimes?
A: Perhaps at the beginning, but then he thinks and feels it would be exciting – a new world, lots to learn
His fear is that of not being engaged
Dystopias are more unlikely than utopías
Here is the plan, after events in class. Make it your key mission over the hols! 😀 ❤

Here is the idea: it includes an article suggested by Knitting Words and another one I found interesting too, on the same topic. I have underlined interesting language for you to learn, and included a Task Description on page 4. Please, print it and read the Task Description. Then it’s up to you all if we work on it in class, OK?
I recommend reading articles to people who don’t generally do! Because it takes a long time to get acquainted with the kind of language in the news, in press articles, in analysis magazines, and articles are always part of your Certificate Reading Tests.
So if you are not considering reading a book or more of those I suggest on C1 Materials, do consider reading articles at least! 🙂
news_iceland_genderrevolution (4 pages) – Connecting Skills: the language and info/ideas here will help you write and speak about gender issues, the construction of democracy, grassroots and social change, laws, employment, equalitarian societies… Consider how you can use what you learn from reading, for instance, in other kinds of exercises. Consider using other kinds of sources, here audio sources, for instance, (e.g., google news on gender issues) to check your progress and expand your knowledge.
As you can see, with one item or task we can build a whole unit, so to put it.
