In this session, we’ll learn about the basic shapes and the famous “flour sack“.

We couldn’t finish session 3, so we’ll continue with that. We’ll highlight the final drawing with ink and the result, of course, will be excellent.

These are two useful exercises that will help you see if you really understand the difference between these two tenses:

EXERCISE 1

EXERCISE 2

The students of 4th grade of ESO are very happy because of the results of their irregular verbs test.

4th ESO C and B got 9s and 10s.

4th ESO D got many 9s and 10s, but some people hadn’t studied and got 0s.

4th ESO A, some people got good results, but unfortunately there were lots of 0s.

My conclusion is that all of the students who studied got 9s and 10s, the rest got zeros. It’s quite curious that there is no middle ground: very few 5s or 6s. What do you think about this?

The vast majority of you got either a 9 or a 10 in today’s irregular verbs exam. CONGRATULATIONS!

Yes, it seems we’re going to have some wet weather for the whole week, so I thought maybe we could do something about it. To begin with, here’s a little excerpt from a song translated into Catalan. Do you know which song it is?

“Quan surt el sol, lluim tots junts,

ja et vaig dir que hi seria sempre,

que seria la teva amiga,

ho vaig jurar, i ho penso matenir fins el final.

I ara que plou més que mai,

sé que al menys ens tenim l’ un a l’ altre,

pots quedar-te sota el meu paraigües,

pots quedar-te sota el meu paraigües,

(aigües, aigües, sí, sí, sí

sota el meu paraigües…)”

Easy, isn’t it?

This songs pokes fun of stereotypes and it will get into your head in no time.

The Matagalls-Montserrat Endurance Trail, the country’s most popular long-distance walk, takes place this weekend. The walk starts at Coll Formic (1,145 m), at the foot of the Matagalls peak, in the Montseny Massif, and ends at the Abbey of Montserrat (709 m). The objective of the 3000 participants is to complete the 83.3 km path in less than 24 hours.
