Topics propositions

• Fame and fortune. Is it a good or bad thing? What would you do to reach your dreams of fame and/or fortune?
• Technology: how new gadgets and activities had changed our lives and our relationships. We can talk about how cellphones or Internet had changed the way we comunicate, and the concept of "privacy" nowadays.
• Is our society a loneleny one? (this is related with Unit 3, lesson 3) How modern life and new technologies help us to stay better or worse?
• We can share our experiences with important people in our lives, trying to make a chart like in Unit 4, lesson 3. And of course, we try to use conditionals.
• Our favourite everyday objects: clips, post-it, microwave... What we would do if they weren't developed?
• Talk about food and food descriptions.
•  Realism, fiction, drama? We can discuss about our favourite genera of books, movies, or plays. Last class we discovered not everyone reads a lot, but we see movies!

I propose we can think on some ideas about every topic, and share them on monday.

See you, and study a lot!

What happens when you hit on the “Next Blog” button?

This happens. I found this blog some weeks ago, and after reading some entries, and review the related blogs, I was totally immersed on a very strange and inspiring world. Is not about hijabs, you know, is about living your beliefs, creating supporting networks, and continue being you. In this case, they are women who fit fashion and modesty. But it can be applied to any topic on your life.

A place to visit

I had a big trouble with this topic, but the solution was quite simple: If I had the possibility to buy a ticket now, without restrictions, which would be my destination? And the answer is: Bilbao.

Bilbao is the capital city of Vizcaya, in the north of Spain, almost in the border with France. It’s a very old city, founded in 1300 D.C., surrounded by two small mountain ranges, and with the Nervion river inside. Its most important commercial activity was sea commerce, ship construction, and steel industry. Nowadays, sea commerce is one of the main activities.

Today is one of the ten most populated cities in Spain, and city of the Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao. Although all of its population speaks Spanish, during last decades, school programs worked to teach Euskera to new generations. Is a very difficult language, because is not a romance language, but every public sign is in Spanish and Euskera.

I suppose it’s very cold in winter, so I would like to go there in spring or summer. I’m not sure if on the north of Spain is hot as Madrid in summer, with 40ºC, and very low humidity. But I want to visit the Guggenheim Museum, walk on the river’s side, and visit all the historic places there. I’ve seen some photos and videos of the city, and it’s a beautiful one.

And I would buy this t-shirt:
