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!!

LET´S DISCOVER PONTEVEDRA! ITU MULTISPORT VIDEO CONTEST

Here are the videos students at school have made to promote the city of Pontevedra just a few days before the ITU Multisport event starts! Congratulations to all of those who took part in the project. Pontevedra is worth a video, don't you agree? Winners will soon be revealed!

Remember that, as the city will be holding this outstanding event from 27 April to 5 May, you will have to check traffic restrictions on the council website in case you are driving to school on those dates! Find the best way to enjoy the venue without freaking out!

ITip of April: VOICE HEADLINER


You type. They talk! Can you believe it? I have just come across this great app that allows you to make famous people say what you type! It quickly turns your text into sharable audio gif using your most favourite - or least favourite - celebrity voices. 

Voice Headliner has proved to be a great app to practise pronunciation, have fun and learn at the same time. I will definitely implement it to give my lessons a twist!
