DELICIOUS!

Hi everyone!
This week, at school, we are working on the delicious topic of food. It's my favourite ;)

I guess you know how different meals in the UK or the USA are if we compare them with Spain. We are famous for our Mediterranean Diet...that is supposed to be healthy.

♦Can you cook well?♦
I love cooking new dishes and learning recipes every day. If you want to add one, I'll be so glad!

I have just come across a photo that you'll really like. It is easy and funny. If you are tired of eating common sandwiches...here you've got the solution!

Why don't you try and take a photo? 

How about an orange becoming a snail? I'm not crazy. Have a look!

It's sooooo nice!♥

And to finish, I want you to see this video from the BBC. It shows a strange restaurant where there are no waiters. Everything is done by technologies. It's so amazing! Try to understand as much as possible. As they speak British English, perhaps it's not big problem for you.

I hope you have a delicious weekend! See you soon!☺

LAUGHING AND LAUGHING

Hi, people!
How is your summer going? It's only some days left to begin school...are you ready? If not, don't worry. There is enough time to get psyched up (mentalizarte) for it. Meanwhile, I want you to practise some English. It is always useful :)

Last week, I came across a video on youtube that I really liked. It was a baby laughing a lot. It was contagious and...I think it seems interesting to show you and laugh for a while.


But, first of all, do you know the meaning of the verb LAUGH? It's a common verb that people usually mispronounce. Click here and hear how to pronounce. It's something like "laf".

Laugh means REÍR(SE) in Spanish. Do you like laughing? I love it! It's the best therapy for our problems!
It is a regular verb (laughed-laughed) but it can also be a noun and its meaning is RISA.
In English, there are hundreds of expressions that contain this verb. I show you three for you to learn:

* A belly laugh: this happens when someone tells you a very funny joke and you can't stop laughing. "Un ataque de risa" could be the proper translation into Spanish. How often do you have a belly laugh? I always have a belly laugh if someone tickles (hace cosquillas)my feet.

* A laugh a minute: when something or someone is very funny and entertaining. "This actor is, for me, a laugh a minute"

* Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep (llorar) and you weep alone: I like this expression so much. If you laugh, everyone is with you and shares your happiness. If you are sad, everyone is far from you. 

I invite you to learn and use them. You will be a master on expressions. 
And to finish...do you want to have a belly laugh? If so, have a look at the video I told you before. The baby is a laugh a minute ;)
Enjoy it and don't forget to laugh today!!!

MAYBE YOU LIKE THIS SONG

Good morning everyone!
I hope you are having fun these hot and stormy days. I am sure you have found a way to enjoy yourselves :)

Last week, one of my followers asked me the difference between MAYBE and PERHAPS. It's a good question, since we continuously use both without taking into account if one is better than the other.
The answer is that the difference is really slight (pequeña). Perhaps is more formal and we may use it when writing. Maybe is less formal and it is used in conversation. 
However, perhaps is accepted in conversations, too. So, both have the same meaning and we could even use the same way. If you want to write something formal, use PERHAPS. If not, it's your choice!

Yesterday, I came across a song by Bruno Mars that I really loved. Do you know Bruno Mars? He's one of my favourite singers. I will tell you about him soon. This song is called COUNT ON ME (Cuenta conmigo) and the lyrics are fantastic. I want to leave you a videoclip where you'll listen to the original song but you'll see the translation into Spanish. It's a good activity to relate the languages.

I hope you like it!

SNOW WHITE PROJECT

Good morning everyone!

Today, I want to show you something really interesting. Four students from 2 ESO D in our school decided to do a project about Snow White using a particular program. The result is amazing. It lasts about 4 minutes and, of course, they got the top mark ;).

I hope you like it!

Thanks Santi, Alberto, Marcos and Óscar. You rock!!!!!
