Teach children about food

I'm re-starting this blog with a message - but I think it is great to improve your English with things that are useful in other ways, too!

This talk by the famous TV-chef Jamie Oliver is a great chance for you to hear real British English! He speaks fairly slowly and fairly simple English, so even pre-intermediate students should be able to understand. (And at the TED site you can switch on English subtitles to help.)

The part I found very shocking comes at about 11 minutes when he goes to an infant school and they don't recognise common vegetables.
