Earth Hour

Today, from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. people all over the world will turn off their lights to support the environment. Will you?

Easter holidays

Today was the last day of school before the Easter holidays. At school, Safa, Yasmin and Pablo wrote e-mails to our friends from around the world, and we watched the movie Ocean's Eleven. We had a good time!

What are you doing for the holidays? Are you staying in Madrid or are you going somewhere? Will you visit the beaches in Pablo's United States? Or explore the volcanoes in Shivaria? If you like bicycling you should go to New Continent. Have you ever been to Antropolis?




Enjoy your holidays! When we come back, we only have a few weeks left before the summer. It will pass very quickly, but we still have many things to do and much to learn, so you have to come back with lots of energy!

When we come back, we will continue to work on the past tense, so please review what we have done so far, and study the irregular verbs. You will find them on page 143 of your book, or here on the blog, in the "grammar" section.

Have a great time!

Best regards,
Eline

P.S: Juan Carlos, Miguel and Victor: Can I publish your country guides in the blog too?

2nd term quiz

Yes, I know, you have already taken the exam - but here's the quiz we did to review the grammar of the second term, just in case you want to try it again. Or so you don't forget!

The curious incident of the dog in the night-time

Here is a short film (actually, it's a trailer) about the text we have read in class. The boy in the story is called Christopher, and he is autistic. What did he decide to do when he discovered that the dog was dead?

Welcome

Welcome to the blog, and thank you Juan Carlos for creating this great page for us! I love the title, by the way...!

I hope this blog will be useful for all of you. I will post about grammar and give you some tips and tools that will help you with the topics we are studying in class. I will also post about other things that will help you get better in English, but most of all I want this to be a space where you can all contribute, comment and learn together. This is your blog.

Before we begin, let me say how proud I am of all the progress you have had so far this year. You have learnt a lot, you are getting better every day, and I'm very happy to be working with you. Some of you really show that you take this seriously (and who says serious can't be fun?).Thank you for making it so easy to love my job!

Now we are entering the last term of the school year, and it's time to raise the bar and work even harder. I know how much you are capable of, I also know how important it is to be able to speak English, and I want you to be the best that you can be. Let's build yourselves a great future together. Welcome to the English experience.

Enjoy your week-end! See you on Monday,

Eline

P.S: Can you guess what "raise the bar" means?
