It's Halloween time

Dear students,
I know you're really busy this week because you have an English test (among other things), and we're not working much on the blog. But you know it will be Halloween next week and I think we should talk about it. We didn't use to celebrate Halloween in Spain, but we do it more and more. People dress up and wear costumes, empty pumpkins, decorate their houses... and have parties!!
So tell me if you are doing anything special for Halloween this year. Are you going to dress up? Are you going to go trick or treat? Or are you just going to hang out with your friends?
In the meantime, watch this video from my favourite TV series of all times, Friends. I hope you enjoy it!

Don't you love this song?

I first noticed this advertisement (BrEnglish)/commercial (USEnglish) because of the song. I thought it was a beautiful song and it caught my attention. What do you think? Do you like it? Do you know who is singing?

Autumn

The autumn is about to arrive. We’ll have to get used to shorter days, colder evenings, leaves falling from trees… We’ll soon get used to wearing coats, boots, scarves and gloves.

Now we are used to wearing t-shirts, even shorts! And it’s October 17^th. It’s unbelievable! Get your warm clothes ready because you will need them…

Talking about the past

Last weekend, I did lots of things. On Friday afternoon I went for a walk with my family. Later, we had pizza for dinner.

On Saturday morning, I woke up later than usual. While I was having breakfast, I watched the news. After that, I went shopping with my children. We had a nice day together. We went to the park, we met some friends and baked a chocolate cake. We went to bed quite early because we were very tired.

On Sunday morning, we had our chocolate cake for breakfast. It was delicious! Then we had lunch with friends and spent the afternoon with them. In the evening, we got everything ready for the next day, a school day.

How was your weekend?

Peppa Pig

Let me introduce you to Peppa Pig. Do you know her? You will understand absolutely everything. It's standard British English and made for little children, so try to watch this short episode and then tell me what you think. Click here to watch.

The things I love

I love waking up on Saturday morning, knowing I can stay in bed a bit longer. I love having breakfast: a hot croissant and a cup of coffee. Yummy!
I love going for long walks with my family.
I love reading a good book.
I love watching a good film.
There must be lots of things you love doING...

Children's games

When I was a child, I used to play a lot in the streets with my friends; we especially enjoyed hide-and-seek. We didn't use to play computer games, because no-one had a computer those days. What did you use to do and didn't use to do when you were a child?

I feel like...

I know you loved this song, or at least you all agreed that more often than not you don't feel like doing anything. Listen to Bruno Mars and think of all the activities you feel like doing... for example:
I feel like hanging out with my friends on Saturday evenings

Where am I?

Have a look at this photograph. Where do you think I am?

Welcome to my blog!

Dear students,
welcome to my blog. I hope this is a place where we can share information, talk about interesting topics, say what we like and what we don't...
I'm not very good at computers, but I would like to improve. That's why I have started this blog, as a challenge. You know I always tell you to watch TV in English or listen to music in English. That will be your challenge for this term.
Try to change the audio in your TV set and tell me how you are doing. Is it difficult? Boring? Exciting?
I would like to read your opinions. Good luck!
