It's so cold!

Twitter for English? LOL!!

Hiya!
Well.... yes.... it' is very cold outside and  one doesn't feel like moving from the sofa...does one? haha
In fact, it's freezing...but I'm not here just to post the weather report; the reason I made up my mind to write is: first...to congratulate my students from 2nd and 3rd ESO for the great marks in the exams of unit 1!

I can't wait to correct the test for unit 2 ( I hope you don't disappoint me!)... and second: I'm thinking of making a twitter account for our English subject...! What do you think? Let me develop the idea...I will surprise you!

Before I forget, I will tell you about creating a Youtube Channel...I sent a mail to a friend of mine, so that he can explain the use he makes of it in his English lessons...I'm sure we will have a great time...trust!

I don't want to bore you very much... so I will leave you... posting a video about a pop rock group that will be famous soon! Its name is "Almas mudas"... Below I post one of their greatest hits "Big Bang"

Grease in Torrevieja

Hiya!!!!
last Friday I went to see "Grease, El Musical" in the local theatre in Torrevieja. It was fun, but I was a little bit disappointed in some parts... The thing is that I am a Grease film fan, so I am very demanding when criticising anything related to it.

For me, in general, was fun, as I said, but the performance of some of the main actors was a bit poor...too dramatic! and overacted. My favourite part was the final scenes...when Olivia turns into a different woman! She stops being this dull, boring girl...to be an attractive daring woman.

Anyway, I absolutely recommend you to watch it, if you have the chance...

Next I post a bit from the musical so that you can enjoy...

Shrovetide...Cool!



Welcome to Ashbourne!! In this town, they play an ancient game related to football, but with different rules and hundreds of players....No, there aren't any penalties!


I wouldn't like to say goodbye to this unit without posting a video about kitesurf...a fashionable sport for the Summer...Would you dare to practice it?


UNIT 6: SPORT

Sports is a very wide topic...We all like to practice sports sometimes, but what if I talk about a very British sport?
There is a very boring sport called cricket, which I particularly don't like at all...games are so long...
anyway.,..you can enjoy having a look at this video...



As it is my blog! I will also post a video about a sport I love...it is padel. Have you ever seen better points?

A bit of sun, please...

Well, too much stress isn't it?

I think we'd rather relax a little bit after this tsunami thing and the scary trailers I posted!
haha

In Spain, we have lots of webpages devoted to weather forecast. It is always good to know what is the weather like when we are going to the beach or want to do an outside acticity.
But it is also interesting to know some pages about weather in English, so ...here you have one. It is only for the U.K.

Weather in the United Kingdom

We love the sun!
Nice weather!



A bit of a curious fact...Do you know which is the rainiest place in the world??
It is in India, and its name is Mawsynram... Look at the uploaded video and learn about this strange and wet! place....




UNIT 5: EMERGENCY!

Hey you don't be scared! There is nothing to worry about...Once we have seen that the Mayas were not right.... for now... we can go on with our lives...

When we are dealing with hard weather conditions, the first thought that crosses our minds is the one about Tsunamis, or seaquakes... I am going to post a video about how a Tsunami works....Have a look at this impressive thing...



Well, this video, as you may have recognized, refers to the worst tsunami ever happened...it was in Tailand, 2004.

have you seen La Tormenta Perfecta?, It is a George Clooney film about a real sea phenomenon...very rare...as well. It is a about a super giant wave that destroys everything...Poseidón is a film with a similar content.

American Healthy food

It's unfair that when we think of American food, the first and only image that comes to our minds is that of a giant, greasy, cheesy, oily hamburger. Well, what if we start to get rid of stereotypes?

I agree on the fact that Mediterranean diet is hard to beat...but let's consider other healty options...
Clik on the following link to see and learn healthy food in America. There are recipes, images, other links...

This is healthy
Healthy vs. Unhealthy food

Next, I will post a link and a video of the best American restaurant, awarded as scuh in 2012. Visit its webpage and look at the video to find out... Its name is The Optimist, and it's in Atlanta.




Inside The Optimist, Atlanta


I hope you enjoyed my video about The Optimist... Espero que hayáis disfrutado mis aportaciones sobre la comida Británica y Americana...y por favor, recordad que los estereotipos no son buenos, y cuando hablamos de comida inglesa o americana, tenemos que considerar que también hay comida sana en estos lugares...no todo son hamburguesas...
