HAPPY SUMMER

GREETINGS FROM STEVEN!!

BATH

We visited this beautiful old city last Monday in one of our school trips. Yes, it is called Bath because since Roman times it has been used as a spa. It was also very popular at 18th century, when all the important people all over Britain came here to spend the summer, and one of those famous people was  Jane Austen, one of my favourite English writers (see if you can find her in the collage).
 It is so exciting walking around a city as if you were living in another century! I hope you can visit it one day because, appart from the beauty of the building, the different squares and the Roman baths, there are also a lot of musicians playing in the streets so it makes this city difficult to forget.

EXETER CHRONICLES II

Well, it has been nearly a week since I say goodbye to you and I got ready to come to Exeter. I promised you to tell you something about this city and what I do here. Here you go! I live in a typical British terraced house with other 3 girls from different parts of Europe, all of them are teachers of English, like me, Eda is from Turkey, Sylwia from Poland and Ornella is Italian. All of them are very nice and we enjoy ourselves a lot together. We go to the school in the morning to learn about teaching. As I am the only Spanish teacher here, I have to talk in English all the time so I am beginning to think in English!!! We also do other activities like visiting the city, which is very nice and very quiet. Yesterday we went on a school trip to Darmoor National Park. It was cool because it was a beautiful sunny evening which it is not so common here as you may know, because the weather is always changable and unpredictable. We spent a lovely afternoon hiking. What about you? have you done your homework? I hope so!!! A big hug for ALL OF YOU!!!!

EXETER CHRONICLES I

All my students keep asking me where I am going to be in England and when I am leaving. Well, you can see a map here, Exeter is the capital city of Devon and it is in the south-west of England. They say it is a quiet old city where there are many university students.
As you may know I am looking forward to flying there and being a student for a change. I will tell you more about my life there next two weeks.

JAZZ

Today April 30th is the International Jazz Day and as this is one of my favourite kinds of music though I love listening to it at night better than during the day!! And also because a few days ago it was commemorated Ella Fitgerald's 96 birthday, I have decided to share this beautiful sad song with you. It is a classic of jazz music and there are many versions of it. I am sure you have heard it before! LISTEN TO THE SONG HERE

HUG YOUR SCHOOL

We like Public School for everybody but we want it to be high quality!!!! That's the reason next Monday, April 29th we are going to hug our school. Wear a green T-shirt if you have got one and don't forget to tell your parents to come.

HAPPY BOOK DAY

I hope you love reading, like I do!!! It has been my favourite hobby since.... I can remember! I can't think about my life without books around me. We are going to celebrate this day with one of the most known books in English: TALES OF MYSTERY AND IMAGINATION.

The Internet

IS INTERNET ADDICTION REALLY A PROBLEM?
Addiction is a bad thing.
A definition for  addiction is: an abnormally strong craving. Craving in itself is an intense desire for a particular thing.
What is your opinion? How do you use the internet?  Do you think that the internet is more or less  addictive than RV? Why? Do you know who uses the internet a lot? What can people do if they are using the internet  too much?

Post your comments once they have been corrected.
