My earliest memory

I don`t know exactly which is my first memory of the bilingual group. Although I have a lot because we have been many years together.

I remember as If it had not spent any time all the projects we have done together. The Romeo and Juliet performance and also the project we did with image and sound people. We have done halloween and christmas activities and two exchanges one with Cambridge and the other one with Wales. I have learnt a lot in both trips. And I have met people whom I still keep in touch. In fact my welsh exchange came to my house last summer.

I remember the first day I saw my bilingual class. I knew many people from my primary school. That day I was very excited because It was my first day of high school. I will never forget that day!

P.S. I LOVE YOU

SUMMERY

Holly and Gerry have known each other since childhood.  And they get married after some years. They can’t live without each other. Unfortunately Gerry dies.  Holly gets depressed.  Some letters written by Gerry helps her to go on living without him.

CONNECTOR

I can identify myself with Holly because at this moment of my life the most important things for me are my family and my friends. I can’t imagine my life without them. If one of them were missing I think I couldn’t go on living. 

IMPORTANT PART OF THE TEXT

My darling Holly,

I don’t know where you are or when exactly you are reading this. I just hope that my letter has found you safe and healthy. You whispered to me not long ago that you couldn’t go on alone. You can, Holly.

You are strong and brave and you can get through this. We shared some beautiful times together and you made my life…you made my life. I have no regrets.

But I am just a chapter in your life- there will be many more. Remember our wonderful memories, but please don’t be afraid to make some more.

Love for ever, Gerry. 

I have chosen one of the letters that I like most in which Gerry invites Holly to go on with her life. He tells her that he has been a chapter in her life but there will be many more. It seems to me very romantic that a dear person helps you to go on living. 

CECILIA AHERN 

 She is from Dublin and she has published many novels and short stories. She published in 2004 her  first book called:  P.S I love you. I think it is her best book because she makes you feel like if you were inside the story. Her books are written with very informal and easy vocabulary. And when you are reading them you would like to be one of the characters. She uses to write a mixture of romantic and sad novels. She writes in a special way  that transmits you a lot of feelings. I use to recommend this book because it is very easy to understand and it is a very beautiful love story.

Dear Italy:

Dear Italy:

I have had a great time with you. I must confess that I fell in love with you the first time we met. 

I’m sure I will never forget you. I remember the beauty of Venice. Walking in your narrow streets was like walking in a dream. I don’t think any other city in Italy is as romantic as Venice. Another thing I like very much is your delicious food. Each corner has a special smell which reminds me of the dishes my granny prepared for me when I was a little girl.

I would really like to meet you again in future. I think you will be part of my live forever. I have never had this feeling before. Believe me when I say that I’m looking forward to visiting you as soon as possible.

Dating online

Teenagers used to use internet for everything nowadays because it is the main way of comunication. So for them dating online is a good thing. However for adults is not such a good thing because most of them think that it's dangerous.

Dating online has advantages such as: if your you are shy you can meet people and also you meet a person and you have the posibility of dating or not. But in my opinion it has more disadvantages than advantages because you don't really know the person who you are speaking with and it can be dangerous.

As I said I think dating online is not a good thing because it's better to know a person before, because trough internet you can't know how is a person.

Do you think "El Pep" should continue training Barcelona FC?

In my opinion Guardiola should go on training Barcelona FC because he is a good coach and people like him also he is from Barcelona so he has the feeling of the team.

In life you can be good at something or be average. If you are the first type of people, you must take advantage of it and your objective in life shouldn't be to get to the top of your skills , it should be to get over the top of your skills. Because you always can do more than what you usually do. If you you want to succeed you have to risk everything.

In conclusion Guardiola should go on training the team because he has the profile of a good coach, and as I have said, he must get over the top of his skills.

La Pandorga

"La Pandorga" is a popular holiday in Ciudad Real. It is celebrated the last day of July. In honour of the virgin "del prado".

In the morning people attend mass. After the mass the gather in groups and they dance typical manchego dannces. The typical drink this day is called  "zurra" and it is a mixture of white wine and lemon juice. In the evening the go to the main square and they do dancing activities organised  by townhall. All of a sadden a wooden bull appears running after people. In his horns he wears firecrackers.

My parents have told me about this celebration. It seems that people have been celebrating it for many years.

Te imaginas

Sí, nuestro te imaginas será volver a la década de los 50.Nos encanta todo lo relacionado con esa época y ahora podemos enseñar a los demás de una manera muy divertida todo lo que significaron los 50.

Aunque no sólo hemos elegido la década de los 50 por eso. Esta época está considerada la del optimismo, después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, llegó un periodo de paz y prosperidad económica y tecnológica. En América sobre todo, por ello nos vamos a centrar en este país, comienzan a surgir los primeros electrodomésticos y los coches. La gente llena de alegría por la tranquilidad después de épocas convulsas se volvía loca bailando los nuevos estilos musicales que surgieron como el Rock and Roll que una vez que empiezas no puedes parar de bailarlo y el Soul que como su propio nombre indica es una música que sale del alma.

Los dinners abarrotados de gente tomando las ansiadas Cocacolas (la fórmula de la felicidad) y las hamburguesas. Chicos con chupas de cuero y chicas estilo pin-up con un punto de picardía pero muy inocentes en el fondo.

Y eso es lo que queremos transmitir, esa vitalidad, ese optimismo que en esta época de crisis nos hace falta y el consuelo que aunque sea un rato bailando soul y Rock and Roll todos nuestros problemas quedan por un momento en otro lugar.
