Our Blog

Dear students in 1ºE,

this is the first post of our blog. The idea is to make it a space for you to read and listen to English. Normally, your contribution will be to do a reading, watching and/ or listening task and then post your comments on the blog.

I'm sure you will enjoy the experience of using a blog for the English classroom.

Pay attention to the following rules:

1. before you click on the link/s, check you have understood the task
2. always use English,
3. be careful with spelling and punctuation.
4. use the dictionary, but don't look for every word you don't know (use the context to guess the meaning).

And that's all for now!

As a welcome message watch this video of the song by Mika. We are doing the exercises by the end of the week.

My opinion about this video is that it is very important because we learn to not contribute with the pollution.This problem will be solved if we worry about the environment,because we should help to solve this problem.We must reduce,re-use and recycle to contribute with the environment.The people isn´t aware of what we are doing with our planet, but then will come a future in which we will be in a great problem. I am pessimist about this problem because every time there is more and more pollution.

The environmental problems are becoming more. Many people haven’t been realized and don’t contribute to the planet. The videos are very interesting and help you see things better. For the planet wasn’t destroyed must recycle, reuse and reduce. As well, little by little we will be destroying the planet and then, eventually life. They have already begun to disappear by species and environmental problems will disappear.

I think that the video is very important and interesting.Water is a limited resource and only a few of the earth´s water is fresh.We must conserve water and not waste it.Other problem is the pollution and the global warming that is altering the water cycle.Many people don´t have clean water.We must do something.
I am pessimistic about this problem because I don´t believe that every people in the world conserve water and not waste it.But I think that everybody can do something to stop this problem too,this it is dificult.
Some words that I learn:
appear:principales,mismanagement: desconcierto,encroachment:pasar los límites,dams:presa o dique,poisoning:veneno,envenenar, squandering:malgastar,overburden: sobrecargar and diseases: enfermedad o mal.
