A great site for watching short, high quality videos is TED, a small nonprofit site devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. The world's ''most fascinating thinkers and doers'' are given a maximum of 18 minutes to talk. Over 700 videos are now available.
Once you have chosen a video to watch, the best thing to do is look for 'open interactive transcript' (on the right, next to 'About this talk'). You then get the text of what the speaker is saying (and you can click on a word and go to that part of the talk!). You may want to print the script so you can highlight new vocabulary.
There are a lot of environmental videos under different categories:
A greener future
Inspired by nature
Ocean stories
So, here is one form the latter category:
David Gallo shows underwater astonishments
Let me know what you think and share any other good videos with us.
