Your intentions and desires for 2008

New year...new intentions!! What would you like to change in 2008? Leave here your intentions and desires for the new period which is on the point of starting. Enjoy yourself!!!

First: I'd like to give up smoking but I' m afraid it's too hard...

My desire is dedicated to two very important people for me (Tami and Sue): I hope them pass their exams (I'm sure they'll do it) and when they leave our school,...never, never, never forget us!!!

As today was our last day at school, I would like to wish Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to everybody, especially to those I couldn't say goodbye face to face... WE'LL SEE AGAIN NEXT YEAR!!!

New song on our blog!!!

Let's start with an easy song. I know this is a very important song for lots of students in our school. You only have to watch the video or listen to it and then, translate the Spanish lyrics into English, and the English one into Spanish. Do you understand?

This song is called "Te busqué" (Nelly Furtado & Juanes).

Don't forget to send us a comment writing the translation of the song and your opinion. Thanks!!!

Happy birthday, little Gem!!!

To Gem: the best friend, sister, teacher,...

Don't lose your eternal smile!!!

We love you, baby!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Your age on other worlds

Hello bloggers!

Recently I've found a very curious page where you can calculate which would be your age on other planets.

You only have to write your birthday date, and the page calculates your age in years, and in days, on all the planets of the Solar System.

J. Bardem's friends

This is a post about friends...and first of all, we've chosen Javier Bardem's friends (hehehe). We think you don't know anything about this person, but in spite of that, it's worth a try! (merece la pena intentarlo)!

Look at this photo carefully and answer the following questions:

1. Who is the person next to Javier Bardem?

2. What are they laughing at?

3. Who is wearing the coolest T-shirt?

4. Why are they together?

5. What happened before the shot (foto) was taken?

6. What do both of them do for a living (dedicarse a)?

7. Do you think they are really friends?

8. Does the unknown person's face ring a bell (te suena la cara)?

When all the questions are answered, maybe J. Bardem offers himself to check them and correct the wrong ones!!

If you want to appear with your best friend on our blog, send a photo here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Let's pay homage to RAP music

We know most of you are rap fans...We suppose Cultura Urbana Festival has been crowded with students from our school!!

Rappers, like poets, choose the language they use and how they use it...They're artists!! For this reason, we'd like to pay homage to (rendir homenaje a) RAP music, rappers and all of you who love this way of life...

Who dares to translate any passages of SFDK's song into English?

Who dares to record a rap song on our voice mail?

We are waiting for you!!!

THE PASSIVE VOICE

Have you realised we are approaching the end of our school year? We would like you to continue practising different topics on grammar and it's time to review the pasive voice now.... We offer you different pages, so... let's practise with them!!

Dear bloggers, work must be done!!!

Always the same on TV....

Hello!


What's happening with TV?


We have been watching the same on TV for lots of days...

No matter the time I watch TV, whenever I switch it on, Letizia Ortiz or "La Pantoja" appear on it.


Here I've found a very funny video about Letizia Ortiz...
It's very different from what we are used to watching...

In an Official Visit with the Prince,
the wind played a dirty trick on her! (le jugó una mala pasada)!





Of course, this video is a montage (which consists on repeating the scene several times),
but the event was completely real!


It's very well done, isn't it?

A beautiful story of love, for Mothers’ day

Unce upon a time there was a woman that was angry because her daughter, who was 5 years old, had wasted a roll of paper wraping (envolviendo) a box.

The next day, the daugther gave to her mother the box, and she told her : ¨This is for you,mum¨.

The mum was embarrased because her behaviour of the day before had been bad…

She unwrapped the present, and she saw that inside the box there wasn´t anything, and she told her daugther: ¨When you give a present, you must put something inside the box!¨

The little child, crying, told her: ¨Mum, the box isn´t empty, I put a lot of kisses for you inside the box¨

The mum, excited, hugged her daugther.

When the child grew, she moved very far to live in another house. Her mother, when she missed her, put her hand into the box and took out one imaginary kiss.



I hope you like it!
