Although the weather is not helping much I’ve decided to start this week in high spirits.
Curly: forming curves or circles
I’ve got curly fair hair
The pig has got a curly tail
Now, watch this funny add and see if you can understand it. Needless to say , you’ll need to understand the word curly .
From Disney Family Fun a funny recipe everybody can do.
APPLE BITES
Ingredients:
Apples and silvered almonds
Instructions :
Just quarter and core an apple, cut a wedge from the skin side of each quarter, then press slivered almonds in place for teeth.
Tips: If you’re not going to serve them right away, baste the apples with orange or lemon to keep them from browning.

This is a writing exercise for my PAU students and I thought you might find it useful. In this written exercise they’ll have to make good use of the vocabulary they have learnt about travelling and going places, the connectors they have studied and they’ll also have to put in practice some of the tips I have given them about the Writing Process, which if you are interested you’ll find published in this blog, here.
This is the idea:
Students, in pairs, are asked to write a narrative. They have to use words from both word clouds, i.e, they have to use connectors from the first word cloud and specific vocabulary from the second. Ask them to write their narrative in coloured paper which you’ll later post on the walls of the classroom for student to vote for the one they like best.
Make sure that you:
♣ begin by describing when and where the story takes place
♣ describe the events in chronological order
♣ use the different forms of the past tense
This post you are about to read is meant for my students at the EOI Avilés. I don’t really know how many 
of you are still reading this blog, but if you are, I want you to know firsthand that I won’t be teaching at the EOI this course. It’s been a personal decision and it’s a temporary one ‘cause I’ll be leaving you only for a year.
The truth be told I don’t really know whether I’ve taken the right decision or I’ve made a poor one, only time will tell but I felt I needed to spend more time with my children because,as you well know ,my afternoons and evenings for 20 years now have been filled up with teaching while my children stayed at home being taken care of by domestic help.
So I’m going to try something new; I’m not exactly thrilled about it, the feeling could be more or less described as being on tenterhooks but I feel my children deserve ( if their mother is given the option) to have their mother while they are at home and you never know… I might even like teaching teenagers ‘cause this year I’ve decided to teach at a high school.
Anyway, although I’m moving physically , you can still find me virtually in this blog which will be maintained and updated as usual.

To optimize is to make as perfect, effective, or functional as possible,to make the best of anything.
And this is precisely what this little tool does for your computer to keep it in good shape. It’s called CCleaner and it might be one of the best cleaning systems you can find for free.
Its main purpose is to clean any unnecessary files from your hard-drive and on opening the program you can see the various aspects of Windows that you can search through and clear. CCleaner will also detect your installed applications that may hold on to files which are no longer any use, such as Google Earth histories or Flash Player configurations and it’ll allow Windows to run faster while freeing up valuable hard disk space.
There’s even a portable version you can carry around .
