Welcome to HAVE FUN WITH ENGLISH

I would like to welcome all students at the EOI Pontevedra to a blog where they will find a lot of information about the school together with a wide range of activities to practise and improve their English. I´m sure most of them will find the activities in the blog both amusing and enjoyable! Hope you learn a lot... and please, let me know if there is anything you want me to include!!

OUR COOK BOOK

My intensive course students are about to finish their Intermediate 1 Level. I just wanted to let them know  how proud I am of their job. They have worked hard and made their best to get to the end and these are the kind of things that give my teaching job a meaning.

Here is my way to say thank you for your great effort. I have just made a cook book with all the recipes you sent me by email. This e-magazine is the result of the last writing assignment you were told to do in Unit 10. 

I promise I will try some of them... for sure!! and I do recommend you to do the same and leave your comments below. 

I have really enjoyed teaching you and am looking forward to the beginning of the second part of the course by the end of next week. Meanwhile, enjoy your cooking!!

Our school has been appointed by the local council to present a proposal for the Xosé Manuel Pintos Award. Therefore, we would like to invite all the members of our community to participate in the event by casting their vote with their ideas before January 27. Until then there will be a polling area at the school entrance with information on the election process and also a voting booth where the voters may write the candidate of their choice in secret. Your vote will really count this time, so do not hesitate to take part in the process. Make your voice heard!! Go to the polling place at the school and register your opinion on who deserves the award.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!


New Year's Resolutions are a bit like babies: They are fun to make but extremely difficult to maintain. In January a great deal of people resolve to better themselves in some way. A much smaller amount actually make good on those resolutions. Whereas some people stick to their goals for at least a week, fewer are still on target six months later. It's hard to keep the enthusiasm months after you've swept up the confetti, but it's not impossible!! This year let us know some of your resolutions and stick with them. 

Here are some good examples: 

lose weight, quit smoking, save money, get fit, take a trip, reduce, reuse, recycle, manage stress... 

Which steps are you going to take to achieve your goals for this New Year?? Tell us all about your New Year's Resolutions on the comments below!!
