It started with a kiss

As our Bodas de Isabel are just around the corner, I would like you to have a look at this article about our medieval festival written by Annie Bennet and published in 1998 in The travel section of The Daily Telegraph. It is interesting to see our own fiesta through the eyes of a British journalist. You can also read the translation -by some guy from Villastar you might have heard of- which appeared a few days later in Diario de Teruel.

Javi's blog class competition

As we said in class, I intend to run a competition to encourage you to post comments on my blog. The rules are simple: the three students that participate more actively in the blog (both in terms of quantity and of "quality") from the beginning of the school year until mid May will win a free BBC DVD each. My verdict will be "unappealable"; after all, I'm the teacher, aren't I? Ready? steady? go!!!

Controversial video

Hi again. Remember we talked about some "shocking campaigns" in class? Well, I've just come across this very controversial video. It's NOT what you think by just watching the first seconds and it is NOT a joke. It has sparked widespread criticism (and also admiration), and I thought you'd like to post some comments about it. Sorry if you're offended or upset by the footage.

Agony Aunt

Here you have one of the many Agony Aunt websites. Very good for your English, dont you think?. http://myagonyaunt.com/
Remember to send me a letter by next Wednesday (by email) about something that is worrying you (not necessarily addictions as we said in class). I encourage you to be original and imaginative, and we'll see what Agony Aunt thinks about your worries! I promise you'll get an answer sooner than you think!

New Year's Resolutions

Hi again. Here's the text about New Year's resolutions that we've been working with in class. Remember the psychologist suggests that you have to make your resolutions public so as to get support from the people around you. Why not here? Comments welcome.
