What would happen if you didn't sleep?

The TED Talks are very interesting for various reasons: we learn new and fascinating facts, they help us improve our level, they cover a broad range of topics, and also they're always available with subtitles.

This time I bring you two of them, related to the topic of sleeping, but it would be a great idea if you set yourselves the goal of watching a certain number every week. You say it. Many of them are under 6 minutes, so they don't require a big amount of time.

The TED Ed website also offers you the chance to check your understanding with each of their videos: Think.

Also interesting if you like the topic: Why do we dream?

Are you used to...?

When I was a child, I used to play a lot. With my dolls, my cat, my brother... I was used to climbing trees. I loved it! I felt free and wild. Then I grew up... I don't usually climb that much ;)
With adulthood, we need to get used to a lot of different things: working, having responsabilities, living on our own... Now I'm not used to running, climbing, playing on the street, as I used to do, but being an adult also has great advantages!

How is your life different today to the one in the past? What moments in your life made your habits change? Leave your comments and share as I did here!

Gerunds vs. infinitives

Gerund or infinitive? Some verbs need only one of them, others make no difference, and other types of words like adjectives or fixed expressions require another. Make sure you revise them and use them, because their use it what makes them stick.
