CHRISTMAS TIME!!!

I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.

I have climbed the highest mountain

I have run through the fields

Only to be with you

I have run, I have crawled

I have scaled these city walls

Only to be with you

But I still haven't found

what I'm looking for

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR???

I AM BACK!!!

After some technical problems, I'm back just to say that I used to be a little girl. On some occassions, I would like to be a child again to do many of the things I used to do. Adult life is so difficult!!!
Would you like to be a child again?
What did you use to do?
By the way, can you guess how old I was in the picture??? Hahahahahaha

TRICK OR TREAT!!!

Wubbzy and friends are going trick or treating... But they have a problem, they can't get any sweet!!!! What's happening? Are their costumes so scary?

JACK O'LANTERN

Hi everyone!!! As you know next week we celebrate Halloween and I'll propose you different activities, so you can have some fun and learn more about this tradition.
My first proposal is about the typical Jack O'Lantern. You must know that the carved pumpkin known as Jack O'Lantern is one of the most famous symbols of Halloween, but... What is the origin of this type of lantern? Why is it called Jack? Originally, another vegetable was used by Irish to make lantern, which vegetable?

HALLOWEEN IS ALMOST HERE!!!

Halloween Countdowns

CHOOSE YOUR STYLE...

Which style do you prefer??? Smart? Scruffy? Sporty? Trendy? Casual?
Is it appearance very important for you?

Next time, I am going to upload your own outfits... Be ready!!!

YOU GOTTA BE...

Unit number one of your text books deals with physical appearance. Nowadays, we all worry about our appearance, but what about our inner side??? In this song, Des'ree sings about those things you have to be (gotta be = tienes que ser). In the chorus, she says 8 adjectives referring to qualities one must have.
Can you understan them? (3 stars for each of them)
Can you give me your opinion?
Which other qualities do you think we must have to be a good person?

My friend Julia

Hey Boys!!! Hey Girls!!! Have you enjoyed the weekend? I have visited my family in Granada. On Saturday afternoon, I went to the Alpujarra with some friends. Maybe, you don't know what the Alpujarra is... It is the South part of Sierra Nevada. The villages there are so beautiful and you can breath quietness everywhere. Moreover, there is a special atmosphere; many people leave their lifes and begin a new one far away from the city. In fact, you can find many foreign people there.

And now, I would like to introduce my friend Julia to you. She is one of the friends who came with me to the Alpujarra. She is from my village, Vélez de Benaudalla, and she is a teacher. She is really really funny; you never get bored with her!!! She is a very sensitive and affectionate person and she loves children that is why she works with them. Moreover, I must say that she is a very good friend and I miss her a lot when I am not in my village.

Among her hobbies, I may say she likes music a lot. She is a very good singer and she can play the saxo, that is one of the reasons why she loves Lisa Simpson; both of them play the saxo and they are cute bondie girls!!!

She enjoys going shopping and even more when she goes with me... Har har har... Julia has a very good taste in clothes!!! We also like going to the beach together, although sometimes I get angry because she really speaks a lot and I prefer sleeping or reading!!!

Obviously we usually go out and have fun with our friends. Travelling is another of our passions and everytime we can we package our stuff and fly away...

So, this is my friend Julia. Can you tell me something about one of your friends?

WELCOME!!!

We are facing a new school year!!! I hope you are ready and you enjoy learning English in my blog. My intention is you practise your English outside the classroom as well, and you have a good time, of course!!! As I told you, you can win some stars and become the star-student of the term. And here you have the first opportunity to get some stars.
Try to finish the puzzle and tell me what you see in the picture.
Please, don't be shy and write you comments... in English, of course!!! Don't worry about mistakes. I'll really appreciate your effort!!!

PLACE YOUR BETS

Are you ready for Saint Valentine??? And what about your red outfit for tomorrow???

I can say that most teachers have theirs and they are prepared to surprise you tomorrow.

Are you sure about your bets???

I must say that Paula is one of the strongest bets, but what will happen tomorrow? What do you think? Will Luis wear something red? You have made your bets and now you cannot change them. Open your eyes and you'll see!!!!

I am sure about two things: you are not going to forget your last Saint Valentine at Guadalerzas (and not because of your Spanish Lanaguage exam in the case of 2nd B!!!!) and I'm going to wear something red!!!!

See you tomorrow and Happy Valentine!!!!!

LOVE SONGS

There are many many love songs; in fact most songs are about love. However, not all the love songs we listened to have the same effect on us. Sometimes, we are moved by the simplest melody or lyrics.
This is one of my favourite love songs. Please, listen to it and follow the lyrics and tell me your opinion.
What is your favourite love song?

Nothing Compares 2 U Lyrics

LOVE LOVE LOVE

I know, many of you don't believe in Saint Valentine and things like that (there are some of you who don't even believe in love!!! What a shame!!!)
Anyway, I can't resist the temptation to celebrate. Just a scene from Love Actually and the video of the same song from the film: All You Need is Love.
Do you know who originally sang this song?
Enjoy the video.
Love

I'm back!!!!

A month without saying a word!!! No no no!!! Never again!!!

Now, I have two questions because I know your are eager to win more stars for your personal accounts.
We have just begun a new lesson, Books and Films. My questions are very easy:
- If you were a character in a film, who would you be?

- If you were a character in a book, who would you be?

I have been thinking about it and many answers came to my mind for me. Can you guess any of them? Easy, isn't it?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

New Year's Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly , forward to the coming year. Now, it's time to reflect on the changes we want or need to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. Have you thought about your New Year Resolutions?
Mine??? Well, I have some; one of them is giving up somoking, so you must be patient if some days I'm in a foul mood. I promise I'll control myself!!! Another one? Yes!!!! I'd like to become a super-heroine and be able to put an end to injustice and destroy all the villains that we meet in our daily life.
Anyway, there are many other posible resolutions. What about yours? Have you thought about getting organized, helping others, learning something new, spending more time with your friends and family, getting out of debt, studying more, fitting in fitness...?
Tell me your New Year resolutions. Remember that it's time we start the second term starts competition!!! Those who got some stars as reward for your desserts, just tell me here how many you got and show me your voucher.
