What will life be like in 20 years' time?

Will we be driving cars in 20 years?

Will you be attending classes in a high school as you do today?

Will school subjects have changed by that time?

Could you imagine to be able to pay using a mobile phone 20 years ago?
Had you ever thought about having a smart bed which would tell you how good or terrible your sleep had been?


Life changes and so does technology but the question is...for the better or for the worse?

Give it a try and share your opinion and expectations about the future here. I am sure you have much to say.

Enjoy!

Native Americans

Hi there!

After our recent lessons on Native American culture by Alyse, our American teacher, carried out in November to commemorate their heritage month, here you are some links about the topic in case you want to read, listen and watch more.

- misconceptions about Native Americans on Teen Vogue

- Native American heritage month

I hope you enjoy it and that on such a day as today when us Spaniards are celebrating 40 years of our constitution it helps you realise that all cultures, races and ethnicities have the right to live in peace and to have a place on such a huge planet.

Post for my students in Bach semipresencial

Hi there!

Here you are the post for you to write a text describing a person. Remember you must describe this person's appearance (his or her looks) and also his or her personality including some of the adjectives that you have in your book.

As I said in the classroom, your writing must have between 80 and 120 words divided in different paragraphs.

I am sure that you will do a good job so I can't wait to read them.

See you next Monday!

Meeting point for students in Year 4 ESO at Proval and at Martaguisela

Hi there my dear students,

here you are the post for you to start uploading your comments and share information about you IN ENGLISH.

What about introducing yourselves to warm up? I would like you to include your name, age, the place where you live (a flat or a house), if you have any pets, your hobbies, favourite books and films...

This is just the beginning of this online exchange, so after you know each other you can start writing about different things.

I have thought that I wouldn't like many answers to the same person, so please don't leave any comments without an answer.

I look forward to seeing what you tell each other and I hope it works out very well.

See ya around!!! XXXXX

This is for my dear CRIME writers in 3 ESO B

Hi there lads,

now you have the place for you to upload your writing about a crime that you have witnessed or that you know about.

Remember this will be the topic for the writing in your next exam, which is 40% of your final mark this year. Because of this, I expect a good piece of writing.

As always, you can use the model in unit 5 as a guide, but try to be original with respect to the crime you are going to describe.

I look forward to hearing from you.

And remember!!! If you do well enough, this will be your last but one this year.

Yours sincerely,

In the exam you will have to use modal verbs so I think it is a good idea to include them in the one you upload here.

We will go over it on Monday.
