Poor lady! How far would she have got before her batteries ran down?
We think this text could be used with Upper Intermediates concentrating on reading and vocabulary with a focus on idioms and phrasal verbs i.e. full-tilt, disappeared off the radar, held on for dear life, shot off etc.
The news stories featured change regularly and the site is well worth a look.
This is a record of our session on Using Technology for Teaching.
