Here you have the link to the article about the
young man who spent a year without taking a shower.
The article is not
too difficult, but the video may be a bit more challenging. I hope you
find it
interesting:

Clive Zeitman, the King of Complainers
Here you can find the link to the full, original story of the Clive, the King of Complainers, in the Daily Mail. It is long, and it has very rich vocabulary, but you may enjoy reading it, after having worked on the simplified version:

My That´s English
My That´s English (see the link below) is, in my opinion, the best on line web page for intermediate students, so I recommend you to chek it regularly.
Among the last entries, you may find interesting the reading "I was Trapped in my Car Hanging off a Motorway Bridge", whose accompanying task is good for exam training purposes (Sábado 5 abril), the video about "A Family of Readers" (miércoles 9 de abril), or the video "Making Buildings for Billionaires in NYC" (lunes 7 de abril) cover modern trends.
The London video that the fashion designer, Vivienne Westwood, made for Fashion Television (domingo 6 de abril), is a bit long but it is very interesting if you like travel and culture. The 2008 interview to Susan Sharandon is still interesting (jueves 10 de abril). And, if these topics do not appeal to you, you can click below on "entradas antiguas", or on the right-side column "etiquetas" and keep on exploring on your own.
I hope you find something that you like.

iconic Red Phone Box and other achitectural and social landmarks of
London life which are threatened. It comes with subtitles.

Gareth Malone´s Extraordinary School for Boys. Episode 1
Here you can find the first episode of the BBC-2
programme "Gareth Malones´s Extraordinary School for Boys", which we
read about in the listening and reading exercises on page 65 of your
book.
I have heard the introduction and the first minutes, and I think it won´t be too difficult for you, especially if you use the subtitles.
I hope you like it.
