This is finishing for this school year...

Too much to correct, too much to prepare, you are witnesses, sorry for not updating until today, but I´m still looking forward to your comments.

More "falmenc@s guap@s"

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?

Tribute

This sort of chiringuito that Elisa has sent from her holidays will be our tribute to all the fantastic chiringuitos on our coasts which will disappear with the "Ley de Costas". It´s a pity, now we won´t be able to repeat those fantastic moments we spent there.
