EXPLAIN AND CLARIFY A SITUATION

Blanca: Hi Xuni. How was your weekend?
Xuni: Not bad, thanks. Why do you ask?
Blanca: Because you told me that you were staying in on Saturday night, but I heard that you were at a party.
Xuni: Who told you that?
Blanca: Grace said that she'd seen you. How come you didn't tell me about it?
Xuni: Cause I was only there for an hour. My dad asked me to take my sister. I chatted to Paul for a while and then I left.
Blanca: Are you telling me the truth, Xuni?
Xuni: Honestly, it's true! If you don't belive me, you can ask Grace.
Blanca: OK, OK. I belive you. Sorry, Sergi.
Xuni: That's OK.


A happy ending

This time last, things weren't going too well for me. I'd failed some exams at my last school, and I also had a big argument whit my teacher Eva. Before I hated English! Everithing changed for me the day I went to Casa Nostra school. In Casa Nostra everithing was different. There was very good English teacher, her name is Alex Mach, I love her.
These days, I feel much happier. Now I work hard and I amb very motivated. I like English very much. In my opinion Casa Nostra is the best school in (Pla de l'estany).

A. IS TECHNOLOGY TAKING OVER OUR LIVES?

A. IS TECHNOLOGY TAKING OVER OUR LIVES?

Are you a tangled mess of BlackBerrys, emails, PDAs, iPhones, laptops, and cell phones? In my opinion all these electronic gadgets are like a drug, I can not live without them.

I think I'm involved in this drug, because at any moment I'm stuck in one of these electronic gadgets. Every day I log in facebook and msn, like all my friends.

Of course all of these devices lead us to a world very inappropriate for us. The bad part is that you will have consequences. So my parents forbid me some days to connect to facebook.

In conclusion, it is clear to me that I'd have to reduce hours of facebook.

SPENDING MY TIME...

WRITINGS

My name is Xavier Alsius and I’m 16 years old and I’m a student in Casa Nostra Porqueres. I’m interested in sports and the animals. Some of my friends are into sports too. I spend most my time with my friend David. The thing which I like best is playing in the football field.

I don’t think that the world is a bad place, but I think it would be better, but one thing that annoys me is when people are unfriendly with me.

As far as the future is concerned, it sometimes worried me the world is ending soon.

Pirates fan

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's Ens was made
by Gore Verbinski. It is an adventure film. The actors
are Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley.

Hot cross buns


Hot cross buns are sweet, spiced buns made with raisins and have a cross on top. They are traditionally eaten at Easter and are said to bring good things for the future. If you share a hot cross with another person you will be friend for next year, but you must say this rhyme: "Half for you and half for me, between us two shall goodwill be".

Sheerlock Holmes

SHEERLOCK HOLMES Investigates

SHERLOCK HOLMES
He is a fictional detective created by Scottish author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based "consulting detective", Holmes is famous for his astute logical reasoning, his ability to take almost any disguise, and his forensic science skills to solve difficult cases.

History of surf.
Surfing is one of the oldest practiced sports on the planet. Surfing is also one of the few sports that creates its own culture.
The act of riding waves with a wooden board originated in Western Polynesia over three thousand years ago. The first surfers were fishermen.
Early historical records of surfing appear in the late 1700s, when Europeans and Polynesians made first contact in Tahiti. Only three types of trees were picked to make a board.
There were four basic boards in Hawaii:
- The paipo or kioe, a body board, from 2-to-4 feet long, usually used by children.
- The alaia (ah-LAI-ah) or omo (O-mo), a mid-sized board, about 8 feet or longer.
- The kiko`o, larger than the alaia, but not as big as the biggest boards; between 12 and 18 feet; good for bigger surf, but requiring a high level of skill to handle.
- The olo (O-lo), a very long surfboard reserved for royalty that could be as long as 18-to-24 feet in length.

Subject: Your visit
Hi, EsteL.

I'm just writing to check that everything's for your visit.
I think you'll like Cadaques. On Friday morning we're going shopping around the city. So we'll probably meet some of my friends in the afternoon and we can go to the beach. They are very pretty beaches.
On Sunday, we could go to visit the Dalí home and after we going to go fishing to the coast on the rocks. At night we'll go into a disco with my friends. We're going to meet you at the bus station tomorrow at 10:30, OK?
Bye,

Take that!


a king penguin was not about to be intimidated by this giant elephan seal blocking his path to the sea. Instead, he slapped it with his flipper. But when the seal gave a huge roar, the brave penguin had to retreat and take the long way to the water. The encounter took place on the South Atlantic island of south Georgia.

Dialogues

ASK AND GIVE INFORMATION:

Hello, there. Can I help you?
Yes, I'm staying in Somerset with a friend next week and we were wondering if there's anything to see around there. Have you got any information?
Yes, there are day trips to the Cheddar caves if you're interested. I'll get you a leaflet.
That sounds good. What time do the trips leave?
Oh, they're fairly regular - they go every day except Monday at nine and eleven.
OK. And how much is the trip? We've got student cards.
Let's see. Well, in that case it's 8 pounds per person. The full price is 12 pounds.
That's fine. We'll go on Thursday, then. Do we need to book it?
I'll book it for you if you like. Can I take your names?


CHANGE SOMETHING IN A SHOP:


Xuni: Hello. Are you OK there?
Gillem: Yes, hi. I was given these jeans as a present but they're too small. Is it OK if I change them?
Xuni: That should be OK. Have you got the receipt?
Gillem: Yes, here you are.
