DAVID   COPERFIELD

Today I started to read a book in English. I've gone to the library and there I've found a lot of books that are adapted for different levels of knowledge of the English language.

 Since now I will be able to read a little every day.

....and you can see more of my olive trees....

KEEP   IN   TOUCH...

What would you think about this suggestion?  I think that we can use the blog to keep in touch during the year, and to practise english until next july. Do you agree?

We can explain what we are doing, in summer, but also in automn , winter or next spring...

If we have problems with  pupils, the boss, the government... we can share them with other people, specially if they are classmates who have done a summer english course with you.

Lets go!

CATALONIA

Today we will explain what Catalonia is, and some of its characteristics. Also I think it's convenient to give us some advices and suggestions which will be useful if you viste it.

    Firstly we have to situate Catalonia in the map: it's situated in the South of Europe, concretely in the Nord-Est of the Iberic Peninsule. But, it's Catalonia a region of a country or a nation?  In fact Catalonia is a part of Spain- it belongs to Spain- and, of course, it's not a independant country, but a lot of people feel bad in these situation, because they think Catalonia is an historical nation which was annexed in the past to become a part of an artifical country. They usually believe that the Spanish government is used to behaving unfairly with Catalan people. For example, they think that the taxes wich they support are much bigger than the investments they receive to solve their needs in infrastructures, education, etc.
  
   If you decide to visit Catalonia, you will find lots of  beautiful places and nice people. One of the most interesting cities to visit is Barcelona. There you should visit a lot of things, but you can't forget anyway to visit all the buildings which were created by Antoni Gaudi.
    Related to Catalan people, they will probably make you feel as at home.
