Ginger bread houses


Christmas is coming. This is not surprising news, we all know. It is a time of the year full of many things, and one of these things is tradition. We all have traditions, in our family, in Seville, in Andalucía, in Spain, all over the world. One of the traditions in the Anglo speaking world is "ginger bread houses" I would like you to make a web search and write about this tradition. Describe it, tell the origins, write your comments but please, do not copy, try to write with your own words :)

¡Última foto de verano!

Hi Paula,

As I hope you know, this is my first year at this school; I’m very happy with the decision I took last June about changing school.
I’m writing this to tell you about my summer. It has been a great summer! .I had some time to do all those things that during the school year and because of my classes and all the exams , I found it difficult to do.
I spent almost two months with my family (grandmother, grandfather, aunts, uncles, cousins…) in the same house! .It was obviously a very big house located in La Barrosa (Cadiz) , next to the beach , being this one of the best aspect of the house. It was a little bit crazy but I loved it as we don’t have many opportunities during the year for staying all together. All of them live in Madrid and just in special days we can visit them.
We tried not to get bored doing differents activities like visiting different beaches, playing some sports or going to the cinema.

With this post by Candela I must finish the series of summer shots, anyway remember that you will get extra marks if you comment regularly, and you are missing many chances.... so please, do the exercises from these shots, come on!!!

This summer has been very enjoyable for me. At first, in June,
I was in Seville with my friends. Later, I went to the beach
because my family has got a house in The Puerto de Santa María
(Cadiz) and it is there where we used to spend ours holidays.
There, I have got a lot of friends and we did differents activities:
we went to the cinema to see The Karate Kid (It is very funny),
we played football and tennis, we went out everi night...
I stayed in the beach until the fist of August when I had to
return to Seville becuase I started the training sessions with
my football team, Seviilla Football Club. I went to train
each mornings and the tuesday and the thursday, I took
English classes. With my football team I often played friendly
matches and even we went to play a championship to Nerja (Málaga),
in the photo, with others teams like Real Madrid C.F., Málaga and
Real Betis. These are my holidays.

Thank you Borja!

And now, are you able to correct the mistakes in red?
Come on, send me your corrections! I´m looking forward to them!!!

Beatriz Guerra Picamill

july, and i lived with a host family in a small village near michigan called
buchannan, it was my first time that i went to the USA and the experience
was great!i love the american people!
well, one of the photos is about the night in chicago after a bussy day of
shopping, chicago is only two houres far michigan so, we often visited
chicago. when i visited chicago i felt like if i were in a dream, in a
fantasy world! chicago has a lot of skycrapers and is very curious to see
that around chicago there is a sea or a lake, chicago has a port! it´s
pretty beautiful!

this photo show as the chicago´s hard rock cafe! this is a gorgeous place,
when i came in i got impressive coz i have never been in a hard rock cafe

Blanca Baltasar Mezquita
This summer was not my best summer because in  june I don’t pass three subject and I’m
staying in ac.preuniversitaria all the summer.

One of the weekends of July my cousin,
my uncles, my parents and me with some friends go sailing.

We left home very early as the ship stay
in ‘’El Puerto de SantaMaria’ and we
had travel by car.

On the ship we went to ‘’Bahia de
Cadiz’’ and we stayed there all the day.I got brown the rest of the dayand and
I swim a lot at the sea, the water temperature was fine.

Monday in morning I had to
return to ac. Preuniversitaria.





Hi, Paula!

I'm Carlota Guerrero Soro and I'm a new student of your classroom 2º D. I write to
tell you my holidays in Venice.

Venice is a beautiful place, where it points out the San Marco's Square. There, you
can admire the Cathedral and the Palace Ducale. In this square you can have the most
expensive coffee in the world, because it costs 15euros. I got in a góndola through
the bridges.

In Venice the carnival is typical, that's why all shops are full of colourfull masks
and old costumes.

Also, we visited Muano's island where a special glass is made.

In the photo I show you my sister and me with the Venecian masks.

I wouldn't hesitate to visit Venice again in the future.


Congratulations to these brave girls!
The exercise on this post consists on
telling me 15 different grammar mistakes.

Good Luck!

Back from holidays!!!


Dear students, I sincerely hope you all had a good summer, even those of you who had to study also should have had some free and enjoyable time. Now you should be ready for exams or for the new school year, there will be some interesting changes for the students in 1º Bachillerato as they will have to face a selectividad oral English exam too. We will speak Englsih in class and visit the language lab once a fortnight. Anyway I´ll explain everything as soon as I come back to school on the 27th September. While I´m abroad remember to review your English from last summer, try to watch American or British films in original version and read some articles on the internet.

Now, I would like you to post some beautiful and culturally interesting shots from your summer holidays with a brief description of the place. This photograph was taken in Sanlúcar, and they are my daughters, come on, I want to see yours!!!!!

Who does this back belong to?


Farmville




Yes, we are some of those fans on the craze of Farmville, I have decided to play to make my students learn some vocabulary as it is only English the language used. We are neighbours and have some pretty nice farms. If you want to play with us, tell us and we will add you as a neighbour.


Don´t be afraid to get hooked on it, you will have time to study.

We have discovered an artist in la Preu!














Don´t you think they are gorgeous? I was completely shocked when María sent me the photos, the paintings are so beautiful... I asked her to give me or even to lend me one of them to hang on the wall of my class, but she refused, a pity but I understand her, she doesn´t want to get rid of any because she is still learning, but anyway, we can predict a future for her, can´t we?

EXERCISE:
1.Make a ranking of the pictures, for example,
"My number one............, number two..............,number three.................. (do all of them, it may help Maria)
2.Describe the last photograph.















Just another "feria": OTAKON in Jerez

IN






OTAKON is a Japanese name which comes from the Japanese word "Otaku". Otakus are people who love manga, anime, computer games and disguising as their favourite characters. Otakons or Manga meetings, are usually held several times a year and in different places, the ones in Barcelona and Jerez are the best in Spain, there you can also find comic writers signing a picture, stalls with clothes, manga, books, kimonos, collection pieces, posters, Katanas and Asian food.
You can also practise several activities like karaoke, kendo, Japanese writing, sumo, basic rules for Japanese language, go, sogi, teruteru, drawing, mandarake, role games, make-up, and there are also contests on disguising among others: The first prize this year was a travel to Japan for two. All these activities take place in public halls, outdoor or indoor. You only must pay to get into in the best ones but never more than 3 euros.
(This information has been provided by Cristobal, 2ºF, ask him if you have any question, he will be glad to answer :)
1.Do you know of any other feria of this kind? Have you visited?
2.What would be your disguise if you went to it?
3.Which activity in Otakon would you practise?
4.What would you buy there?
5.What can you eat there?
