Today, I am going to share with you another of my favourite film scenes. It is a very revealing scene from 'Dead Poets Society' where Tod, a shy and quite naive boy, is challenged to create a poem by his teacher. Tod would have never thought he was able to create a poem. However, Mr Keating's (performed by a wonderful Robin Williams at his best,  R.I.P.) arrival changed his life.
Beautiful scene! I hope you like it!

Glossary:
  • 'put you out of your misery': to get you out of your misery (release, liberate)
  • 'Yawp': loud cry or yell. 
  • 'mumbling': to speak or to say something in a soft manner that is difficult to understand

Guiding Hands


What do you think of this video? Fiction or reality?
The true is that more and more people walk while texting and looking at their smartphones everyday. Maybe a funny video or maybe a video to think about...





Have a nice week!
