English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hi guys,
today after making a quick recap of what had been said last time about Barbie (DAMN IT! Volunteers!!!! I need volunteers!!!!), we continued the lesson talking about an ad campaign made by Green Peace and aimed at sensitizing children and parents about the dangers of Mattel's packaging for the rainforest.
You can watch the document again below:
Here is what we said about it:
Green Peace's campaign against the destruction of the rainforest:
The journalist reveals to Ken some shocking news: Barbie is a serial killer!
At first, Ken was confident. He thought the journalist was going to speak about his movie. He compliments himself and says he's the best / he's winning. He has everything: designer clothes, good looks and a dream house.
However, he stops showing off when the reporter reveals some pictures of endangered animals that Barbie is killing. She was not on a photo shoot, she was on a "killing spree", shooting orangutans and tigers.
