Giving Opinion: Driving
For the past week I’ve been raking my brains looking for a nice way to display these statements and finally for lack of something that took my breath away, I have decided to stick to the overused writeacomic.com , which works just fine … but for a few details there is no point in getting into right now.
So , right below , you’ll find some statements about driving . This is what you need to do
TASK
♥Choose one statement (only one , please)
♥Write a comment (5-8 lines) explaining your point of view and why you agree or disagree with the statement.
♥Use some of the expressions here
I am pretty sure we all agree that these weeks before Three Wise Men’s Day are chaos. We’re all super busy buying , wrapping ,eating and drinking (OMG!) so I don’t think I’ll be back in this space until lessons start again.Thanks for being there!!
Wishing you all a Happy New Year!!

Listening: What is a vegetarian ?
I want to start this week with a positive thought. It is something I’ve read recently and that has been going around for some days inside my head.
Happiness is not getting what you want . It’s wanting what you have.
I should say that I am normally a glass-full type of person but sometimes, only sometimes, I need to remind myself.
Well, today I want to share with you this amazing site which has a lot of potential. 
Educaplay is a platform to create embeddable multimedia teaching activities . You can create interactive engaging activities like crosswords, matching exercises, dialogues, presentations, tests, dictations , interactive maps, word search puzzles and many more… but what I really like about this website is the possibility of creating a video quiz as the one I have posted below .
The structure of the activity, is defined by sequences that are composed of a video, or part of it, and a question that will be the end of the sequence.
To define the sequences, we go through three phases:
- Video election: We can use the search engine, or if we know, insert its URL directly.
- Sequence election to be held on the question.
- Definition of the question: Each question can be configured to ask for the answer in any of the following methods;
♥In a written form, by selecting one answer from various options or by selecting several answers from various options.
Another important feature is that it is entirely web based so you don’t need to download anything and … it is free, you only need to register.
And now, have a look at this videoquiz answering the question WHAT IS A VEGETARIAN?
Ororo.tv a good alternative to just watching TV
Oh my gosh! I just love this website. I bumped into ororo.tv quite by chance and I was like ooohh it has this one and aahhh and also this one. And needless to say, I have spent the little free time I have had these days- I am still doing oral exams in the morning and marking written exams in the afternoon /evening, not to mention the cleaning and cooking stuff- having a nice laugh with the boys of the Big Bang Theory, which I highly recommend.
So, what can ororo.tv do to help you improve your English? What will you find on this website??? An amazing number of TV shows and films in their original versions and with subtitles in English. Right now, I am hooked on the Big Bang Theory, a American sitcom, about four young scientists, but surely you’ll find attractive alternatives here to suit every taste and mood.
