I live in Avilés, which on the coast in the north of Asturias, Spain. It has a population of 86.000 inhabitants and it’s the third biggest city in Asturias.
It’s an industrial city near the river. There are lots of enterprises like Aceralia, Cristalería, Asturiana de Cinc..
There are different restaurants and a lot nature around the city.
Here, it’s always cold in winter and in summer it’s hot.
Avilés is famous for its iron and steel industry which transports a lot of building material.
I like living here because it’s beautiful and quiet and I have here my friends, my family and also because I am studying here .
I have found this site only today http://www.what2learn.com/ and I can’t wait to share it with you. It has lots of interactive 
exercises although most of the published games won’t be of any use to you as they deal with Maths, History and some other subjects.
But it has some games devoted to spelling and this is where you can do a lot of practice. I especially like the game below these lines because it trains your ears too. If you feel it’s too easy for you , you can always click here and choose a harder level or play hangman or whatever you fancy.
This site also allows me to create my own interactive games and I’ve decided to try the hangman game first and see what it looks like…. awesome!!! Come on ..what are you waiting for??? Play the game and guess the word before Grandma is abducted by aliens.. Target language : Sports. Level: Pre-intermediate
If you “flee” you run away, as from trouble or danger. This verb is irregular : flee-fled-fled
Ex: He fled from the house into the night.
Still on the subject of sports, today let’s focus on a writing activity where you’ll have to make use of lots of things learnt this week, namely
What to do?? Simple!!! Look at the following pictures. What do they all have in common? Exactly!! They’re all sports.
What do you have to do? Choose a sport and give a good definition for it, mentioning everything you know about it as regards equipment, rules of the game, where you can practise it…etc. Make sure you do not write the name of the sport as we, readers, will have to guess the name of the sport you are describing.
