So, what is English made of?

The video below is a poem by the young poet Dizraeli. It is a bit difficult to follow if you don't have a good level, so concentrate only on the written words and on the rhythm of the poem.



In the poem, Dizraeli talks about how English is a language that is used by many different people around the world, in different media, spoken by a lot of people from different countries, and which borrows terms from many different sources.

(a special thanks to the Macmillan Youtube channel!) Ps. You can see the full text of the poem on pdf here

A travel composition

Today we have looked at how to write a composition about traveling in Primero de Bachillerato. I have decided to post a powerpoint example about Scotland, I place I lived in in 1999-2000 as an Erasmus student (so long ago!)

Merry Christmas!

Riding out the recession

Last Friday, our school received an interesting visitor. His name is Sean, he is 21 years old and comes from Cornwall, England. He wants to ride a bike all the way from Cornwall to Cape Town, in South Africa! He is doing it to help some charities. While he was riding accross Madrid, he got lost and stopped here to ask for directions, and we were talking with him for a while. Later Antonio drove him to Pinto, and there he continued his trip.

If you want to know more about his project, you can click on http://www.ridingouttherecession.co.uk/about_me.html. There you can donate to the charities he is supporting, too.
You can also see what he is doing by following him on Twitter: http://twitter.com/SeanMaher88
