Recuperacions 1r batxillerat
The results of the 1st batx. grade English language examinaton show that 50% of the students who took it actually passed it. This is great news and I hope it helps motivating them for their up-coming tests in 2nd batxillerat.
The three most common verbs in English are: 1. to say; 2. to get; 3. to go, which means that only two people got the right combination:
- Jean de León (2n batx B)
- Cristian Barros (3r ESO C)
As already announced, in case of a tie I will use a random number generator to decide the person who will take the prize home.
And the winner is… NUMBER ONE!!

Incredible cheats
Some students cheat in their exams, and teachers either know it or suspect it. Metacafé has a collection of school cheat videos that will make your life easier (or more complicated?). The most shocking, for me, was the Coca-cola cheat. Enjoy:
Is ‘ho’ a dangerous word in English?
What do you think about this word? Is it one of the forbidden words in English like the f-word or the c-word?
Natterjack eggs
One of the commonest toads in Catalonia is the natterjack. However, this year’s lack of abundant rain will make it difficult for this animal to reproduce. At home, my small colony of nattejarks have laid their eggs. This is a picture of a string of eggs laid on the 24th March. At that time, they were five days old and you can see a small layer of algae covering them.
Some four days ago, the little embryos left the eggs and now they’re fully grown miniature tadpoles. I will keep posting pictures of them to see how they grow. If you want to know a bit more about this interesting amphibian, visit the web site for the Societat Catalana d’ Herpetologia.
The competition is drawing to its end
In the eventual case that more than one of you had chosen the same number of corrects verbs, I will assign a number to each of the winners and then select a random winner.
In order to make it as impartial as possible, I will use a random-number web site to choose the winner. If you want to know how it works, you can visit it yourselves.
