Hi guys!!!

Only a few lines today. Some of you have already done your oral presentation. So far they are all going quite well so KEEP IT UP. For those of you who want to know how you are doing here you can see how I've assessed or evaluated you. You can evaluate yourself and guess your final grade.

Oral presentation dates

Hi Guys!

How is it going? Holidays are finished and here we are once more ready to start working! I know I have already said this before but you must remember this term is specially short so DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING FOR THE LAST MINUTE!

As you know this term we will be working on your Oral Presentation Skills. I know it seems a bit scaring at the moment, but don't worry we are just learning so I don't expect your presentations to be perfect.
Hope you found the Oral presentation sample useful and you got some good ideas for yours. If you want to know the date of your oral presentation check the calendar below!
By for now....

2nd Term project!

Hi guys!!!

I'm back with some news.
First of all I want to congratulate you for the good results of the last exam. In general,you have improved quite a lot and you should be very happy about it but..... don't relax too much. Remember there is another exam around the corner!!!

As you probably remember 80% of this term grade refers to your exams, another 10% corresponds to the book we have already read and what about the other 10% missing? EXACTLY!!!


ENGLISH PROJECT!!
However, as we don't have enough time, this term you will only have to prepare a power point presentation. You won't have to do an oral presentation until next term.
I think the topic of this project is quite interesting.
Click on the picture if you want to know what you have to do.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Hi guys!

Photobucket



As you probably already know on Saturday is Valentine's day. This festival is getting more and more popular over the years.
On the one hand some people are looking forward to Valentine's Day all year and think this is a great opportunity to show the ones you love that you really care. On the other hand some others dread this festival and think is just an excuse for shops to make lots of money. What do you think about this? I would love to see your point of view!

If you are one of those who celebrate Valentine's day and you haven't written your postcard yet, you have a nice link to do it
here.

Maybe you are too lazy to send a card and you would rather send a text message. Here you have some handy text abreviations to help you say I Love You.Photobucket

WUBMV?
Will you be my Valentine?
ILUVU I love you
:'-) I'm so happy, I'm crying
Xoxoxoxoxo Hugs and kisses
LUWAM<3 Love you with all my heart
KOTL Kiss on the lips
@}'-,--
A rose
12x@>--,--- A dozen roses
:-X My lips are sealed; or a kiss

Well, that's all from me now! And if you are a romantic, have a look at the following video before leaving. It is probably one of the most romantic videos ever!

Hope you like it !
