THE HOUSE

The third owner of the house was Anne Smith, a famous scientist. She bought the house as the age of forty four when she got a new job in the city. Before moving into the house, she had created a formula that had made her famous. But the truth is that she had stolen the formula from one of her mates that has been in coma for 3 years because of a car accident. She didn't know about the curse on the house so she was very happy to more in. 

One day, while she was cooking her meal, on a sunny day, she started to hear a wild wind blowing, So she stopped cooking and went to the window to see what was happening. Before she could see anything, an enormous tornado took her and destroyed the house. And that was how the house' curse ended.

ROMEO AND JULIETTE STORY

Once upon a time there was a Montagues party. In that party Capulets were not

allowed to go, because Montagues and Capulets were rivals. But Romeo and

Mercutio decided to go as well.

During the party, Juliette's cousin, a Montague, recognise them, but for the moment

he didn't say anything about it.

It was time to go for Romeo and Mercutio, but first Romeo wanted to talk with

Juliette, so he climbed her house balcony until her room. When he arrived at her

room, Romeo declared his love to Juliette in spite of her family's hatred of the

Montagues. When they finished, Romeo went down with his friend Mercutio, but

when he arrived saw Mercurio, killed by Paris, so Romeo decided to kill Juliette's

cousin for revenge. When Juliette knew her cousin's death she felt into

depression, so Romeo tell her that he was the person who killed her cousin

although he didn't know that they were family, that he felt in love with her and she

wanted to marry her. Juliette was in love too so they decided to be married in secret.

The next day, Romeo and Juliette were married secretly with the help of Fran

Laurence. One time married, Juliette had to make a plan to escape and annul their

marriage with Paris, so Fran Laurence told her to take a poison to pretend she's

dead and then woke up and marry Romeo.

The previous night to the wedding Juliette did what Fran Laurence said, so she

took the poison and her servant found her lying on the bed pretending being dead.

When Romeo returned to the city, saw what happened, like anyone had advertised

him about the plan, he decided to death too. After some hours, Juliette woke up and

saw as well Romeo's death, so she committed suicide once and for all.

We are glad to see that you trust us, so we will provide you with the best information and help we can.
First of all, you have been saying that you would like to travel, learn and know Lleida's history too, so I recommend you to visit the most important and touristic place: La Seu Vella. It's a significant building as there were some wars there on the XVII century, in La seu vella, so it has been working as a headquarters for some years. So it became an important place in Lleida for its history behind.

But don't worry if your friends prefer a more ludic area. I recommend you the Camps Elisis park or La Mitjana. There you'll find a 90 nature area hectares to have a picnic, play in the park or even run with friends.
This areas are surrounded of trees, shrubs, and a big variety of flowers.

If you want a comercial place, the Carrer Major is the best optioin. It is a comercial street where you can find loads of different types of shops. Restaurants, coffees, fashion shops and others.

And with reference to the best way to travel, I recommend to go in car. In this way you'll choose where and when you go

HOW TO DRIVE YOUR STUDENTS CRAZY IN 45 MINUTES ?

TO DRIVE MY STUDENTS CRAZY IN 45 MINUTES:
First of all, arrive early for the class, like 5 or 10 minutes, waiting at my teacherchair, and them punishing my students because they are late. If they get angry, is not my fault !

Once I have finished punishing them, after 10 min, start the class. I'm a very kind and generous teacher so I will explain the most large and boring unit precisely the day that my students are more tired. And this 45 minutes they will finish being their worse minutes ever.

During my explanation of the interesting unit, some students are keeping an eye on the mobile phone, so I will confiscate them for a week. They weren't using them, but it doesn't matter, I want to see them get angry.

To finish the class you have to give a large list of homework for the next day, and every time that the students complain, ask them to do another exercise of homework.

HOME VS CINEMA

Hoy many people prefer to watch a film at home rather than in the cinema? Recently, people has stopped going to the cinema for several reasons. It means that is the cinema industria ending? What it is better? Home or cinema?

On the one hand, going to the cinema is funnier. Firstly, the quality of the image is better, the screen is bigger, and you can share the experience with your friends because in the cinema there is space for everyone.

When you decide to watch a film at your home with some friends, you have to be alert of the space available, the food and even the film.

On the other hand, watching the film at home can be more entertaining. At home is easier to follow considering that you can pause or even quit the film. Another advantage is that watching it at home is cheaper because you don't have to pay the ticket, the popcorns, the beverage, or the transport.

To sum up, although watching a film in the cinema is worthwhile because is an unforgettable moment that you spend with friends, family or alone. But, in my opinion, watching the film at home is the best option, especially because no one annoys you.

REFLECTION OF THE YEAR

This is my last post in this English blog. This course it has been very stressful but rewarding at the same time. During all the course we have done a lot of activities, exams, but what I have enjoyed the most is the Cristina's and Layla's Projects. All were very funny and important.
I have improved in very different aspects, since vocabulary, grammar and also speaking and I hope this will help me in this next summer.This summer I will go to London during a month to my cousins house, and I'm very nervious for it because I will go there alone.

We wanted to wrote a romantic comedy but finally we made a thriller, when we haver finished t'he story we sens it to Cristina and after some days we won this award, I'm so happy !!

13/2/2005I'm very bright and active today. I get asleep very early on the desk of my bedroom and my parents brought me to the bed, so I sleep a lot this night ! Well, at the moment, I don't know anything about Tyler and his family, every time I call him it sounds the answering machine ! Tomorrow I'll try to go to Manchester.By the way, I didn't said before that I love drawing ! I had in Manchester a notebook with loads of drawings and texts from when I was young. In 14teen I stopped drawing because I started to have more and more homework and exams so I stoppped but I would like to return this live habit. I was remembering right now that drawing destress and relax me, so maybe I can restart those days.

12/2/2005

This morning seems to be a sunny day, I went to my brother's bedroom and I sat in the red velvet armchair and I started to read my new novel, called Two lives. I was like one hour and a half reading until my mum called me saying that I had to went downstairs to braekfast.

I prepared an orange juice for me and my dad, (my mum and my brother hate orange juices ), a toast with honey and a piece of chocolate. We breakfast all together on the dinning room's table. I stop some minutes looking through the window. It's very pleasant stay in front of the balcony and watch the sun shining. I'm sure that this will be the unqiue day with sun so I have to tak profit of this wheather.

I'm sad because each element, each image and animal reminds me Tyler.

11/2/2005I'm very tired today, this last night I have been awake thinking in Tyler. I hope he was fine.This morning my parents explained us, to my brother and I, that we will stay here for 4 or 5 days more for caution.
I'm very bored, we can not go outside the house because is very dangerous, according to my parents, so I only stay in my bed, eat and write in this diary. I have this diary from I was 13 but in this time having a diary was very strange and friky so I leave it in a bookcase between my novels, the school books and others. But when we had to came here I saw it and I caught it because I love writting too.

10/2/2005

Hello... I have to explain loads of things. Today, after the lunch our parents told us the real reason why we're here. It's a terrible thing. I'm too sad and angry.

A dad friend sent a message to my parents saying that actually, in Manchester, there's a Terrorist Atac, for this reason, until it improve the situation we will not return to home. They say that it's all destroyed. That the atac happened on the centre of Manchester, between the Beetham Tower and Castlefield. Oh ! Tyler lives veeery near ! NO !! I'm calling him right now. He doesn't catch the telephone ! I'm thinking the worst.

8/2/2005

I open my brown eyes, I only see a wall, but if I look round, I see a room, that seems to be mine, with a bed, and part of a table, any window or even a skylight. There isn't anything.

Is the fifth day we're in this big house. We have been moved to Leeds. It's colder than Manchester so it's diffcult to tolerate.

I don't understand why we had to leave home. I was perfect in my house, I was one of the richest families of Manchester. I had loads of friends, and, I also had my boyfriend, Tyler. Well my mum is calling me, I've to go lunch. I'm so hungry.

DIARY

3/2/2005

I'm Tess, I'm 16teen and I'm locked in this house.

I love reading books, and listening my favourite songs. I hate milk and doing sport.

My passions are romantic films, and romantic books. I'm also a very brave girl, but people don't have it in account. This is a very small part of me. And during those days you're going to know me better.

You know why I'm in this giant house ? Because I don't.

Last day, mum received a message, and suddenly her face started to seems worry. I didn't ask for that message but I fastly knew that it was a bad new.

After this, my dad said me that I had to bring all my needs in a bag. I brought my 2 favourite books, some chocolate cookies, this diary and a family photo. The next hour, my parents said to my brother and I that we had to stay some days in a friends house. Nobody said anything. All the big house in silence. But I'm sure that we were thinking all the same.

CELL PHONES ON CLASS ?

Hello another time darlings !❤ Like I said the last month, here↓↓ there's my personal opinion about if having cell phones on class is a good idea.

CELL PHONES ON CLASS ?

Nowadays, many teenagers use the mobile phone. For this reason some parents and teachers are concerned about their education. Some people think the mobile phone it must be prohibited at class but others consider that using a cell phone is a good and innovative way of learning.

On the one hand, if a teen uses the mobile phone in class it's a funny way to learn. So it's more interesting to learn with a mobile game than a boring book that is hard to understand. Furthermore if teachers allow students to use their phone in class and search for the answer, students will be more motivated and excited to search for the information.

On the other hand, having the mobile in class, is a distraction. Students need to pay attention to the teachers explanations, instead of being playing video games, texting between class and not participating in class activities. Moreover, having the cell phone in class incite students to catching the phone and connecting to all social networks. An important thing is that if they allowed having the mobile phone on classes, students have the opportunity to cheat during exams and texting each other the answers.

In conclusion, allowing mobiles on class isn't a good idea because it's a big distraction for students. It's very hard for students to concentrate if they are constantly receiving texts. High school it's for learning not for being with the phone. 

MOBILE PHONES USED FOR LEARNING

Hello my dears ! Some people said me to do a post saying and explaining how mobiles can be used for learning, so here yo have it !

PD: The next sunday I'll post a personal opinion speaking about having Cell Phones on class.
