Be a reporter

This week you have all had fun with this piece of news:



You then were asked to become a reporter who is at the station and interviews a girl who is not allowed to kiss goodbye to her grandmother.

It has been very entertaining to listen to your recordings.

All this reminds me of a famous song: "Kiss me", by Avril Lavigne. I hope you like it!

My experience with English

Hello again. This time one of your classmates, Rebeca Dorado, has helped me organise all your comments. This is the final version of your collaborative writing. THANKS, REBECA!

I started to learn English at the pre-school when I was so little. I used to sing a lot of songs and play different games in which I learnt so much having fun! Some people started studying English at Senara (schools) where they did games like to say the name of a picture to learn vocabulary or singing songs! Others started with a private tutor. The method was the same: they used to sing a lot of traditional and easy songs and play games because they were too little to study grammar or vocabulary but the teacher sometimes read some books in English like "Little Red Riding Hood”. They used to colour some activities or do very easy activities to learn vocabulary too.
When I went to primary, in the first years I studied like in pre-school with songs and games, learning some basic words of vocabulary and starting doing very simple sentences. When I passed to 4th grade of primary, I started learning a little bit of irregular verbs doing games and also the teacher told us to copy them if we did not have good behaviour in class. I also played games like 'Simon says' or we sang 'head, shoulders knees and toes...'
When I started 5th, I started learning past tenses and also I did a personal dictionary with all the words of vocabulary that I did not understand and that was the method that they used for learning vocabulary. With irregular verbs we did competitions in groups and that was the way we studied them. When I started 6th, all was a bit more complicated and I started studying all tenses except past perfect / past perfect continuous and futures perfect / continuous.
Other classes that I had were English culture and drama. They there were two subjects that I did with a Scottish native speaker. All the classes were in English, I did plays, dances and we listened to a lot of English music. Also, I had to read two books in English every year since I was 9.
When we passed to secondary, we had to study hard, but the teacher was very enjoyable. Apart of the grammar lessons, also she played a lot of films with subtitles, then we discussed them in English. In the first course of secondary my teacher said to me that I did not know English and that I needed a private tutor, but I did not have it, and I passed all the years with difficulties but I always tried it. Now, I know that I do not know English. Patricia was my teacher in secondary. She went with us to the theatre in English. We had many activities in the computers room.
I started bachillerato last year. In 1st of bachillerato, I have done many activities: with my class we did a magazine, in which we talked about the school and all 1st of bachillerato, we talked about teachers, travels, and other topics. It was very funny.
This year, in the second course of bachillerato I participate in a virtual classroom where we can do many activities, and it is very interesting. Also we do PAU exams to practice before June, because it is very important to pass Selectividad.

Christmas time!

Season's greetings for everyone!


You are all preparing your Portfolio of Languages, and some of you are writing about your experiences with languages. Why don't we do it together?

I will start:
I started learning English when I was very little, probably four or five, I don't remember. We did different activities:

Your favourite TV programmes

Hello again. This is the text you have produced, "untouched":

I love watching TV. There are many TV channels and so many programmes to choose from, that it is difficult to decide.

Usually, the best programmes are shown during the evening, and they finish pretty late, so many times Ican't see the entire programme. What a pity! But, luckily, nowadays there are a lot of websites which host the programmes that they show in their channels, so I can see them when I prefer!

My favourite programmes are programs in which there are crimes and murders and in which the police act in. These programs are like 'CSI', 'El Comisario'... because I want to study criminologistic and in these tv programmes many times appear the labaratories and many clues that they analyze to kwon who is the murder.

My favourite programme is El Internado, its a mystery TV programme.
My favourite character is Ivan because he has a problematic past, he is rude but he apologized.

My favourite programme is House.It´s a different history for one hospital.
He isn´t a perfect doctor, he is very unkid and grumpy.
He loves to insult his pacients but he is the best doctor in all the world.

Actually,we prefer the programmes which are showing in the evening, because at the evening are showing the mistery, criminaly and the medical programmes.And I think that we prefer that programmes because they are about things that we knew a little,for example we knew about biology and there are something about biology in CSI, House...

Now, a better, corrected version:

I love watching TV. There are many TV channels and so many programmes to choose from, that it is difficult to decide.

Usually, the best programmes are shown during the evening, and they finish pretty late, so many times I can't see the entire programme. What a pity! But, luckily, nowadays there are a lot of websites which host the programmes that they show in their channels, so I can see them when I prefer!

My favourite programmes are programs in which there are crimes and murders and in which the police act in. Examples of these programmes are 'CSI', 'El Comisario'... I want to become a criminologist and in these TV programmes you can see the laboratories and the clues that they analyze to find who the murderer is.

Another excellent programme is El Internado, a mystery TV series. My favourite character is Ivan: he has a troublesome past and can be very rude but he soon apologizes.

Finally, I have to mention House. It shows daily life in a hospital. House is the opposite of an ideal doctor, he is very unkind and grumpy. He loves insulting his patients but he is the best doctor in the world.

As you can see, our favourite TV programmes are shown in the evening, and our main interests are mystery, crime and medicine. I think that we prefer that kind of programmes because they are about things that we know a little of. For example, there is something about biology in CSI, House, and that is a subject that we are studying at school. If you choose good TV programmes you learn something at the same time as you are having fun.
