Hello everybody. I haven’t posted any messages for a while, so I thought I could send you a link to practice you reading skills. Some of the words of the text are underlined, so that you can click on them and check the meaning in the online dictionary. You can even choose the translation into Spanish. I hope you find it useful.
Hi mates !
Lately, I couldn’t attend English classes, so I’m probably getting a pumpkin in the final exams.
As I don’t like to disturb and follow the rule “do it easy” I have grown up this beautiful pumpkin in my own garden to spare Anna the trouble of looking for one.
If I am lucky and pass over the final exam, I promise you to make a cake with it for everyone.
I’ll see you soon.

Do you agree with my selection? What have I missed? What were your favourite films last year?
The 10 best films of 2007 for me are:
The good shepherd
Michael Clayton
Eastern promises
El orfanato
4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days
Lions for lambs
The Bourne ultimatum
The pursuit of happyness
300
The Prestige
The list of 2008 Oscar nominees is very different!
The film “Michael Clayton” is the only nominee.
Do you think that the nominees are the best or only sometimes?
Please, write your opinion!

As you know, in the oral exam you will have to describe a picture and talk about similarities and differences with your partner. If you want some tips and ideas about how to describe a picture, I strongly recommend that you have a look at the following website : http://www.writefix.com/pet/index.htm
This is my friend.Some days I meet him on the top of Mola hill, and I speak to him using Catalan language because I thought he was a “Burro Catalan” but I didn´t get an answer until now.Yesterday, I tried to speak to him in English,…and … What a surprise!He answered,… eharr ijaáa eharr ijáaa…
I was astonished..
Anna, does it mean that he understands my English?
Some of you showed your concern about your listening comprehension skills and asked for more practice to improve your listening. We’ll be doing some mock exams in class every other week from now on. Meanwhile, you can practise your listening at the following websites :
1) Randall’s ESL Cyber Listening Lab . A website with listening passages divided by level of difficulty, topic, and style. There are pre- and post listening quizzes. Excellent site!
2) Lingual.Net. A website to practise your listening skills through movies. First, play the movie without subtitles, second, take the quiz, and third, watch and listen to it again with subtitles . Good fun and excellent training!
