Have you ever seen the movie "Goonies" ....
It is a 1985 adventure movie which was directed by Steven Spielberg.


Anyways...In the opening scene Jake Fratelli manages to escape from jail with the help of his mother and brother.....and from there the Grammar and Vocab begin...
Good Luck...

Got some solar panels!!!! I joined the fight against climate change!!

Today in one of my classes the topic of environmental issues came up.
During the discussion I mentioned that because of the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and resulting nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Canadian Voice decided to "Go Green" and we had solar panels put on the roof.
When I was asked how many panels were up there, I realized that I wasn't really sure.
I took a look on Google Earth and I was surprised to see the entire roof covered in panels. 
Wow! I am feeling very environmentally friendly right now. Fight Climate Change!
