ENGLISH DEPARTMENT XMAS CELEBRATIONS

hi boys and girls, here are a few pictures taken yesterday at the English department Xmas party. We had a cake, haiku and bookmark contest (in these pics most of the cakes had not arrived yet....ehehe) and a couple of shows starring this Australian bloke (whose real name I can't remember ha ha ha) which made us split our sides laughing....my ribs ached from laughing so much..we really had a good time! Well guys...HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYBODY! I will be in Italy for a few days and will have a look at the blog if I can (Valerio might let me use his computer perhaps :-)))).

FREE AUDIOBOOKS

hello boys and girls, I hope you had a nice long weekend and are ready to come back to the school ;-) . Here is a link for you to read and listen at the same time..you can download at least 2 free audiobooks and there are some more interesting links to explore on the same page, enjoy!

THANKSGIVING

hello guys, guess what day is today? ;-) yes, Thanksgiving Day...for you to find out more about this celebration, here's a little webquest. I would like each blogger to answer ONLY ONE question (which hasn't already been answered of course) ...there you go:

1) What's Thankgiving and when is it celebrated (not too many details because there are more questions below ;-)
2) When was the first Thanksgiving celebrated and by whom?
3)Who were the Pilgrims?
4) What kind of food is eaten on this festivity?
5) What is the popular dessert on this day?
6) What do some people do after lunch?

INTERMEDIATE 1 GRAMMAR

Hello boys and girls from Intermediate 1. Another challenge for you. Can you translate these sentences into English? (after yesterday's exams revision it should be a piece of cake ;-). To read the cartoon (it's funny) just click on the pic and it'll become larger.

1) A pesar de que fuera un día soleado estuvimos viendo películas en casa todo el día.
2) Como el tren llegó tarde al aeropuerto perdimos el avión y nos costó un día más llegar a Londres.

INTERMEDIOS 2: CONTRAST

Hello boys and girls, a challenge for you...how about writing three sentences using these subordinators? Each sentence should also contain a new word you have learnt in class and you would like to remember...:-). I hope this time some of you (who I know are secret readers on this blog, cheeky monkeys!) will write something.... .:-)))
