PARTY TIME!!!

After recent events (those involved know what I'm talking about!!) I would like you to write about any or all of the following:
- What do you do when you are out partying with friends?
- Where do you go? Do you go to bars, restaurants, stay in the street?
- Do you go out for supper (Spanish:cenar)?
- Do you drink when you are out? Why? or Why not?
- Do you think alcohol and party have to go together?
- Does your town have places for young people to have fun at night?
- What type of places would you like to have in your area?
- Do you prefer going to other towns to party?

I hope you write sincere comments!! I promise that I will not tell your parents about any compromising stories!!

Love is in the air...

I have seen that those of you who have added me on the MSN have love messages on your nickname... so here's your new topic:

-How are you going to celebrate or how have you celebrated Saint Valentine's Day?
-Which is the most romantic gift or surprise you have ever had on this day?

-Do you think it is a nice day to celebrate love or just another way of making people spend money at shopping centres?

I hope you have a LOVEly weekend or as LOVEly as possible...

Exams , Exams, Exams...

Here's a new topic for you to write about.
-Are there too many exams in our school system?
-Can you think of a better alternative to assess (Spanish:evaluar) students?
-Do you know what they do in other countries?

Don't just complain (Spanish:quejarse) about how many exams you have, I also want to read about alternatives if you don't agree with the present system.

I'D LIKE TO SEE MORE PEOPLE CONTRIBUTING...

Topics for Class Debates

This post is so you can add possible topics for class debates. Remember that they shoud be things which you can talk about, topics you more or less know something about. And they should be topics where we can divide the class and have some in favour and some against or just different points of view.

New Downloads

I've added two docs. One is Relative clauses explanations and exercises, and the other one is the key to correct these exercises.
Remember that your next exam is both on relative clauses and future tenses.

As usual if you have any questions you may ask in class or add me on your MSN michaels_corner@hotmail.com. However if you add me on to MSN it's to use it, not like Lydia who doesn't talk to me!!

WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD A DOCUMENT LET ME KNOW BY LEAVING A COMMENT ON THIS POST PLEASE!!

More Downloads

Just upped this post to remind everyone about the downloads on the left!! They include some explanations, exercises and in this case I've added the answers so you can correct yourselves. As usual you may ask any questions in class, by email or msn.
When you download any docs just leave a short note saying who you are, and maybe somthing else!!

Alternative Topic

Hi, this is an alternative assignment to Miss Aspas' birthday party topic.
-What are your favourite websites and why?
-Are any of these websites in English or have any contents in English?
-What do you do when you are on your computer : chat, send emails, surf the net?
-What information or links would you like to find on this blog?

You can answer some of these questions or just one or two of them. As long as you want, all contributions are welcome.

Second Assignment

Hi, after hearing or reading about recent events I've decided to ask you to write about something different. Here goes:
-Describe, with as many details as you can remember, Andrea Aspas' Birthday party (Happy Birthday Aspas, Andrea!! did you get the flowers I sent??)
-You may add pictures but rememeber that this blog is G rated, which means it is for all ages, so nothing which may offend innocent readers (that includes me!)

Hope your hangovers aren't too bad!!
C ya tomorrow!
