VISIT TO ALMAGRO

On 23rd April -the Book Day- we went to Almagro. It’s situated in Ciudad Real. We watched a play: “House with two doors is bad to keep” by Calderón de la Barca.
The plot is relatively simple. Lisardo stays in Felix’s house who lives with his sister. It will be the origin of the adventure, because she wants to see Lisardo and when she meets him, they fall in love. Apart from that, Felix falls in love with Laura too. She’s Fabio’s daughter…
We liked the play and we had a good time!

COOL FACES PACK AGAINST INFLUENZA-A (máscarillas contra la gripe A)

Some people are wearing a new mask to protect themselves from the Flu A. They are cool and strange. You can wear a face pack with a cartoon of Mickey Mouse and the Simpsons. These “masks” are selling in New York online. A lot of American and Mexican people have bought them. This is a strange fashion which more people are practicing it, because they think that it's funny.

We were: Alba, Kel, Mara, Amín and Dani(1º); Luis.E, Clara, Adrián, Marina and Priyanka (2º); Natalia, Odalis and Katherine(3º). And teachers who went with us were Maite and Loly.
Last Saturday, we went to Colmenarejo again, to know the winners. And there were raffles too.
Marina was the third winner of her level, but Alba and Adrián won the raffles!
We learnt some new words and it was really entertaining!

JUST FOR FUN

If we want to master a language, it is important to have knowledge of the phonetics of that language. That is why I always want you to get familiarised with the English phonetics and I teach you phonetics symbols.
In the following site you can practise your phonetics doing some activities http://club.telepolis.com/phonetics/index.html

I recomend you to watch the following video to understand better the importance of pronouncing words properly.
Enjoy it and after watching it I hope you know the difference between sing /siŋiŋ/ and sink /siŋkiŋ/

OUR VOLLEYBALL TEAM

This year we have played a lot of volleyball matches, but this is our first year playing volleyball, and we have lost every match; the rest of the teams have been playing for four years and they are better than us. However, we almost won some matches.
Although we lost every match, we really had a good time.
Next year we hope we will play better.

Next, I include all the details of the matches:
