London through the ages, and Shakespeare sonnets

Click on BBC is a TV programme, but also an audio programme.

I found these two news items interesting that CLICK presents:

* 01. London – A City Through Time (www.heuristicmedia.tv)
* 04. The Sonnets by William Shakespeare (www.touchpress.com)

Routes of English

I found this on twitter in #eltchat

Routes of English from BBC Radio4 - an interactive tour.

This week's programme is about Thomas Edison.

It is a long programme, so lets just concentrate on a few minutes of it.

In the introduction, Melvyn Bragg gives a few facts about his life. Listen and write down the numbers:

Which number did his first patent have?

What kind of an invention was this?

How old was he?

How many years later did he die?

How many patents had he registered by then?

What other inventions are mentioned?
