All change at the Elephant and Castle

Last week i posted an article about Housing Estates in London 

One of the largest estates in Europe is the Elephant and Castle in South London. It is going through a huge transformation right now and i found a really interesting video clip about a project recording the life of residents on the changing estate.  

see the video here -

TOEFL materials – videos

Ive been exploring the wonderful information superhighway (otherwise known as Web2.0) for some good resources for Toefl students here is what i have found.
I started looking for items relating to the speaking exam
The first site is via Youtube and its a slightly scarey American called Steve Ford who gives you some tips which i think would be helpful

Another possible resource via Youtube are some model answers being given by students and teachers
check this one for example …

this third clip may help you with your writing exam…

more to come soon
