News from London

Hello dear boys and girls of the school Joan Salvat Papasseit!
As you probably know, I’m now living in London. It’s a very interesting city full of curiosities that I would enjoy sharing with you. Then, I would like you send me comments, questions, opinions… in English of course!
So…let’s go!
Let me start with some facts about this city:
# Romans called London “Londinium”.
# London is the biggest city in Europe.
# The River Thames flows through London.
# The London underground (“the tube”) is the oldest in the world, it works since 1863!
# Over 250 languages are spoken in the town. The most common are (in this order):
English, Bengali, Panjabi, Gujerati, Hindi/Urdu…
# You have to pay for everything with pounds (£)… Leave euros (€) at home!
# When you come…bring an umbrella!

Finally, one question… the answer gives you an extra-point!
WHAT COLOUR ARE BUSES, MAIL BOXES and TELEPHONE BOXES in London???
I’m looking forward to receiving your answers!
See you soon!
Pili

    Hello Pili!

    How long is river Thames?
    How many countries are in the United Kingdom?
    What are the underground wagons like?
    What’s the prize of one pound in euros?
    Are there any churches in London?
    What color are the taxis?
    Thank you very much!
    See you son!
    Bye, bye!

  14. pili.lo Post author

    Ha! Ha! A lot of questions… but…WHO ARE YOU??
    The river Thames is 346 Km long.
    England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are the 4 parts of the United Kingdom.
    Wagons (carriages) seem a low narrow tube, but they go really fast!
    If you want one pound you have to pay 1.20€.
    There are many Christian churches, mosques, synagogues and temples of all religions in London.
    All the taxis are the same model, but not the same colour. Most are black.
    Are you happy with my answers?
    Thanks for writing!

    I mean exactly … Well we did and I do not really went very well but are approved plowing of Castilian and Catalan than I have done very well … BYE … 🙂 <3 <3 <3

    Well now we have a recovery Friday math because it was not very good. On the other hand I got the book with the institutes to which I can go next year: La Bastida, Numancia and Torrent de les Bruixes. I don’t want to go to La Bastida, I prefer the other two.

    GOOD BYE KISSES

  21. pili.lo Post author

    Good afternoon Carla! Your enthusiasm is fantastic…congratulations! I understand perfectly the second part of your comment. In this part:”we did and I do not really went very well but are approved plowing of Castilian and Catalan than I have done very well ” maybe you want to say:”We didn’t do the test very well but I have passed the Spanish and Catalan tests”. Please, go on with your comments, I like them very much!

  22. Carla Molina Gracia

    Now I want to ask you some questions:
    1.Are there nice views at night from your window?
    2.Do you like living in London?
    3.Shops in London are expensive?
    4.Do you prefer live in London or in Sta.Coloma?
    5.Have you some friends in London?

    Hi Helene! Yes, I like London, it’s a beautiful city full of museums, monuments, theaters, wonderful parks and gardens, shops, interesting people…but sometimes I miss you all and my work in the school!

  27. pili.lo Post author

    Hello again Carla! From my windows I can see a beautiful garden with big trees and some funny squirrels. I like living in London where you can find some of the most expensive stores in the world, but also very cheap shops. I like one shop called “Poundland” where everyting is 1£!! I feel happier in Sta Coloma because I have a lot of family and friends here. Thanks for your questions!
