Google is a very good search engine and most of us use it almost all the time. Sometimes though, we have to stop and think about what to put into the search box to get the information that we want. Here is another search engine that you might like to use. It's called Ask Jeeves and when you go to this site you'll be able to ask a question in a regular sentence and then get your answer that way. For example, if you put- How do I fix my computer-in the search box and then click on search you'll find many different answers to your question if you scroll down the page.

Every city in America has it's own TV and radio stations. Sometimes it's interesting to watch the video news broadcasts from a city or state other than the one that you live in. Here is a TV station from San Francisco in California and if you watch their video segments you'll be able to compare them to watching ones from Portland. Remember that you can replay them as many times as you want so listen for new words that you can look up later.
