Shakespeare in love.

The film is about Shakespeare and it tells when he wrote Romeo and Juliet. The film explains the life of Shakespeare and at the same time the company rehearses the novel in the theatre. Shakespeare is in love with Viola de Lesseps but she is going to marry Wessex. Wessex knows that she loves someone but he doesn't know who he is. In the end Viola and Wessex get married and the company of Shakespeare represents Romeo and Juliet.

A description of a building.

LA SAGRADA FAMÍLIA.

La Sagrada família is situated in the centre of Barcelona. It was designed by Antoni Gaudí and it was started on 19th march 1882 and at the moment it isn't finished. The Sagrada Família is made of stone. From the outside and the inside it is like a gothic church. Inside, it is very big and it is very well decorated too. I've visited the Sagrada Família twice in my life. I like the stairs and its colored windows the best.

My easter holidays.

The Easter holidays are usually in April. We celebrate when Jesus arrived to Jerusalem, his death and the resurrection. Normally these days we should go to church and we've got family lunches.
This year my Easter holidays were very relaxing because I was tired of the 2nd term. Every day I met my friends and we went to different places and we did a lot of different things. I have enjoyed these Easter holidays a lot!
In my opinion I was too relaxed and now it's difficult to do the things again. But I'm not worried about that because these holidays were fantastic.

GIVING ADVICE










Dear Mariona,

One of my friends has started acting quite strangely. She's always looking for money and she sometimes misses school. She's going out with a guy, Steve, who I don't know very well. Steve doesn't speak to me when the three of us are together and he looks at me very angrily.

I don't really know what's happening. What's your advice?

Clare.



TASK:

Dear Clare,

If I were you, I'd be very worried about this because unfortunately it's possible that the problem is serious.

Obviously you should talk with Steve soon and with her too because if you didn't talk to them soon the problem would be worse. It's very important that you talk quickly. If she didn't tell you anything she would talk to another friend.

As for Steve, I think that he's a problem because he probably influences her in many things. Your friend should talk to him clearly before the problem will be bigger.

Mariona.

Oral Presentation.

1) Topic-Introduction.

First I tried cricket but I didn't understand this sport so finally I try Broadway. I think that this topic is very interesting and very funny because it's a city that the people know it's name, but people don't know about it's history, it's hotels, etc.
