Wordle - an interesting tool

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color

schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

Do you remember the argumentation about grades? This is the "word cloud" from this text.

The Ethical Trading Inintiative

What is ethical trade?
Ethical trade means that retailers, brands and their suppliers take responsibility for improving the working conditions of the people who make the products they sell. Most of these workers are employed by supplier companies around the world, many of them based in poor countries where laws designed to protect workers' rights are inadequate or not enforced.

Companies with a commitment to ethical trade adopt a code of labour practice that they expect all their suppliers to work towards. Such codes address issues like wages, hours of work, health and safety and the right to join free trade unions.

Covered in snow

This is a photograph of Britain, taken from a satellite a few days ago. It is an unusual photograph because it shows that every part of the country from the south coast of England to the north coast of Scotland is covered in snow. In recent years, many places in England have had no snow at all. But this year, the snow stretches from Lands End (in the far south west of England) to John O’Groats (in the far north east of Scotland).
People who want to raise money for a charity sometimes walk, or cycle, from Lands End to John O’Groats. They get their friends to sponsor them, that is to pay them a certain amount for each kilometer they walk. Long-time followers of Listen to English will remember Stephen Gough and Melanie Roberts, who walked naked from Lands End to John O’Groats. This winter they could ski from Lands End to John O’Groats, but it is so cold that I strongly advise them to wear clothes this time.
