Smothies Recipes

2009-07-29T06:49:00.000-07:00

I have found two collections of smoothies recipes that you can download. The first one is in alphabetical order and you can go straight to the recipe you want just knowing the name of the fruit you want to use. The second one is a collection of smoothies especially thought for athletes which are supposed to need more energy.

There are so many interesting things to do in London, so many interesting museums or buildings to visit... I want you to organize an itinerary to spend one day in London. Use the links below to help find information on the sights you pretend to visit and write a one-day tour. You must gather all the information in a word document, attaching photos and even a small map which may help you view the itinerary (you can use the map I gave you in class- the one with the monuments on it) Include the visit timetable, prices and other information you may find interesting.

How much do you know about Britain?

2009-07-08T03:19:00.000-07:00

One of our aims this summer is that you get to know the country/ies where English is spoken. It is time for you to test your knowledge on the British Isles and some cultural aspects related to all the countries that make up the United Kingdom.
In this new post you will find three links which will take you there in a virtual journey. It would be great if you had a look at them before coming to class next week so that everybody would know how to move around and find information more easily.

If you try this one, you will find worksheets with questions on Britain, Quizzes on England, an interactive map of the U.K. and an interactive U.K quiz.

If you try this one, you will travel around England while you have fun. At the end of your trip you will have a chance to test what you have learnt answering the England Challenge.

Finally, here you will find a lot of links to further information on Britain.

I hope you enjoy your virtual journey and remember to leave your comments. See you in class.
