December 2008

Well it's been a lovely but cold falls and now we are almost at Christmas holidays... I hope everybody is enjoying it.

Summer

Now we are in the summer.... let's see what can we do... If you want just write some lines...

I live on the edge on Gavà and Viladecans both have beaches...

About Viladecans beaches

it's 2,7 km long and with and extension of 290.000 m2, from the stream mouth of Remolar to the Murtra lake. A pine forest, pine shed trees , planted to fix the dunes, separetes the beach from the rest of the space.

It's a natural beach next very close to ecological ecosystems, and it keeps the dune area in its natural state it is almost a virginal place, with no houses or buildings due to the airport neighbourhood.

While about Gavà:

A fine sandy beach with excellent services and communications

Gavà beach, some 3,551 m long and covering an area of 200,704 m2, not only provides visitors with perfect sand and sea, but also all the facilities and services necessary for the ideal holiday.

And here there all kind of place to stay, eat, drink....

LAST DAYS OF COURSE

IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO SHARE OPINIONS WITH ALL YOU AT THE SAME TIME THAT WE GO LEARNING ENGLISH.

I WISH YOU HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY!

Farewell

Hey everyone, the school classes are finally over. We are going to get our grades this Thursday and I heard that there will be a party, though I'm not sure.

I'm writing the last post just to say goodbye. I enjoyed reading your post and learning from your culture, traditions, food and places a lot.

I hope you liked my posts too. I wrote about many different things. I also enjoyed discussing with you.

It has been fun, take care. I'm glad we met.

By the way, good look against Croatia. I hope Poland gets into quarter finals.

Dani.

See you soon

Hi everybody... in Barcelona we have finished the school year. Yesterday was the last class and next Thursday we will have a party at school.
We can posted several recipes in our magazine and posted several new post in our blog. We are looking forward you posts.
I would like to ask you two things:
1. why are there so many Polish surnames ending with ki?
2. What's the meaning of that l (letter L) with a strip on it? some kind of stress? a new letter? a different kind of l?

My students may keep in touch using the blogs next weeks.

Thank you and see you soon... We enjoy chatting with you.

EXPERIENCE TRAVELLING

The most negative experience that I have had travelling by plane was:

The flight Barcelona ( Spain ) - Sofia ( Bulgaria ) with a stop at Paris ( France ) . First when making the scale in Paris the air plane had already left and I had to wait 3 hours in the airport of Paris for a new plane, when it left I had to make another stop in Prague ( Czec Rep ) and from Prague to Sofia. I Arrived at 23H 55 min. when I should have had to arrived at 19H o ´clock more or less and to make matters worse the baggage stayed back in Prague.

My favourite Recipe

Hi, What about writing about our favourite cooking recipe. We can write here and then pass it to the e-zine. Dani did it and there's a "special" recipe for cooking a Paella..

My favourite place

The place I like the most is Palma de Mallorca. I haven't been in many different places so I can really say this place is the best. But so far I love it.

I know this place because I lived there for many years.

Last long weekend

This last bank holiday, my family and me, went to Andorra. We went by car. After three hours of pleasant travel, we arrived to Andorra. We were in our hotel, called El Pedral;. It is a hotel done with stone. Andorra is a beautiful place. My children enjoyed very much walking in its green mountains. There was snow and my children had a sledge. They played a lo with it. I hope we will can come back next year.

Central Park

My favorite place is Central Park ( New York ) , It was 4 years ago more or less than I could visit it and it is an incredible experience, to see a great green area inside an enormous city!!! , as well as its sky-scrapers.

I like it a lot for the quantity of activities that you can be made apart from going for a walk: to run , to Skate , ride on a bicycle , to play Baseball , to play soccer...It is like being inside a movie

A LOVELY PLACE

All the north coast of Scotland you can find the best cliffs of the world .You can feel like the nature beat into the rocks .Usually there are rest of the old castles next to the abyss and you can dream you was in a old battle. You see a brave and blue sea next a green fields without the large beach of Mediterranean’s coast .

MY FAVOURITE PLACE

MY FAVOURITE PLACE

I have a favourite restaurant . It is called “Venecia”. I have eaten the best pizzas and the best lasagnes. The problem is that manyl people know it and the restaurant is always full . Now it isn’t the same. There is too many people and noise.

The favourist place

Sitges

I like Sitges is a beautiful city of Catalonia. It has some museuns, beaches and restaurants.

I like the shops and street market.

Long weekend

The 1st of May bank holiday Iwas working in the Internacional Tennis Federacion in Cornella de Llobregat ( Barcelona ). I worked from 8h o´clock up to 15h o´clock and in the afternoon at 20:45h there was a basketball match (F.C.Barcelona-Polaris Murcia). So it wasn't a long weekend for me.
