a little bit of fun, pleaseeee!

After all, being in love is not that bad, is it?

What's wrong?

In your opinion, what are the causes for the great number of divorces?

Is it a problem of the kind of society we live in? Are we ready to get married? Should we learn to love again? Is it better not to get married?

Please, feel free (and sensible) and leave your comment here. You can comment on your classmates' posts too, always with respect.

Read you soon!

Hi my dear students!

This is Lucy. She is 24 and I took a picture of her yesterday while she was shouting at her boyfriend after he told her that he did not want to go out with her any more.

Welcome from Tui

Hi my dear students!

This is my first post from my new high school in Tui. Its name is Indalecio Pérez Tizón and I'll teach English as a foreign language here to students in 1st year ESO, 3rd year ESO and 4th year ESO.

I just want to send greetings to all my students from Verin and previous schools and, at the same time, I would like to say hello to my new students, with whom I wish I have a really nice and enjoyable year ahead.

That's all folks!

Letter from Barack Obama

Hello everybody --
The basic bargain of this country says that if you work hard, you can get ahead -- you can build a secure life for your family, and know that your kids will do even better someday.
But for more than a decade, that bargain has frayed, and a devastating recession made it worse.
Over the past four and a half years, America has fought its way back, laying a new foundation for more durable economic growth. But many of the challenges that faced the middle class before the recession remain. And Washington has taken its eye off the ball.
Too many people in this town are focused on scoring political points or fanning phony scandals instead of finding ways to help grow our economy, create jobs, or roll back a 30-year trend of rising inequality.
It’s time for that to stop. It’s time for all of us to focus on our top priority as a country, and that’s reigniting the engine of our prosperity: a rising, thriving middle class.
That’s what I just said while speaking at Knox College, back home in Illinois, where I kicked off a series of speeches on what truly matters to the middle class.
If building America from the middle out is an idea you share, I need you to stand with me. Add your voice to mine.
This has been my North Star for as long as I've been in office, and it's what will shape the time that I have left in the White House.
In the weeks ahead, in towns across the country, I’ll be talking about my ideas for building on the cornerstones of middle-class security: Good jobs with good wages. An education that prepares our children and our workers for a new economy. A home to call your own. Affordable health care when you get sick. A secure retirement even if you’re not rich. A better bargain for the middle class, and for all who are striving to join it.
This is the debate we need to have. And you can join me right now.
Let the country know that you believe that America works best not when it grows from the top down, but when it grows from the middle out:

Thank you,
President Barack Obama

How good are you at speaking in public?

Check this presentation out and you tell me.

Bye!

Do you care for the environment? The White House does.

Check this mail from the US White House on the policies affecting the environment.

Hi, all --
The carbon pollution that causes climate change isn't a distant threat, the risk to public health isn't a hypothetical, and it's clear we have a moral obligation to act.

The 12 hottest years on record have all come in the last 15 years, and 2012 was the hottest one we've ever recorded. When carbon pollutes the air, the risk of asthma attacks increases. When the Earth's atmosphere fundamentally changes, we see more heat waves, droughts, wildfires, and floods.
These events also create an economic imperative to act. When farms wash away and crops wilt, food prices go up. Last year, we saw 11 different weather disasters that each cost the United States more than $1 billion.

And confronting this challenge isn't just about preventing disaster -- it's also about moving America forward in a way that creates hundreds of thousands of good, new, clean energy jobs. It's about wasting less energy, which saves money for every business and every family in America.
So the debate's over. It's time for action.

Here's what President Obama is announcing today. Check it out, then help to spread the word.

First, he's laying out a plan to cut carbon pollution in America -- by working to cut pollution from power plants, protect the health of our kids, boost clean energy, and revamp our transportation sector for the 21st century. Second, he's preparing the United States for the impacts of these changes -- by building stronger, safer communities and developing resources to make our country more resilient. And finally, he's leading international efforts to combat global climate change.
We've put together a graphic that breaks this all down -- from the effects we're already seeing to the specific actions we're going to take to lead this fight.

No single step can reverse the effects of climate change, but that's no excuse for inaction. We have a moral obligation to leave our kids a planet that's not broken and polluted.

So here's what we're going to do:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/share/climate-action-plan
Share President Obama's plan to make sure people in your community understand why we're taking these steps and what comes next.


Thanks!

My favourite building!

Please, keep writing your sentences and short compositions here (only those who haven´t done it yet or those who must rewrite it). By the way, here you are a picture of one of the most impressive buildings I have ever been to. Its name is METROPOL PARASOL and it is located in Seville. There, you can walk along the roof, have something to eat or drink and ENJOY THE GREAT VIEW OF THE CITY. If you want more info, you can click here.

And the Reader is....

I would like to know your opinion about the Readers I chose for 3rd and 4th ESO.

It is very easy, you just have to rate it from 1 to 5 (1 means you hated it, 5 you loved it).

For example,

For me, Andy Murray, the book about Sherlock was 3 and the book Just William was 1.
