In London!

It was a sunny but cloudy day (weird, right?) but it was also a great day. My son and I wandered around London. We bought the subway all-day pass but we only used it go to the stadium to see the Chelsea vs Werder Bremen match in the Champions League. The weather was great and so it was the game.
This a picture of me very close to the Big Ben in Parliament Square. We tried to have an interview with Tony Blair but they said it was too busy chatting with Chabelita, the queen. We didn't want to wait and told them maybe next time, They agreed and off we left. (ha, ha)

Second entry on the same day...

I feel bad to see many of you are not interested in keeping your blogs updated. I've written comments for almost all of you and I suggest you to check them so you can see the status of my opinion concerning your writings.
Remember, if it's twice a week you owe me some entries already, so you better get down to work ASAP!

Time is flying by!

Well, another week is gone and here we are right after all the celebrations for Valentine's day. Hope you all really had a good time and shake the laziness off and keep working hard because time is flying and soon will be spring break, after that the end will be just around the corner and classes will finish. For me it's really hard to see some of you wandering around like ghosts for not passing your subjects in the first round but this is entirely up to you.
Hey! I found a very nice and easy way to practice your English through a website from Yahoo. I've placed the link in the links' corner, check it out! If you really pay attention to this and focus on learning through this useful tools you can find in the web, believe me! they are going to help you lots!
I haven't checked your blogs yet so I better start doing that.

Me at Stonehenge!


Well this picture was taken by a friend in Stonehenge. The fence is around the site and is there because they want people to pay for going near the bunch of old rocks they got there. I thought it was not worth to pay 8 sterling pounds for going in there. So we just took pictures from outside the fence and that was it.
This place is in the countryside and... well, myself I didn't think it was that special. Sorry but I was there because a good friend wanted to take me there and I thought it would be cool but... nah.
There are some other more interesting places in the United Kingdom. I probably show you some other pictures later on.

Here I am... Again!

Hello everybody!
Due to different circumstances I wasn't able to post anything new the last two weeks, but here I am again and let me tell you that I feel completely disappointed... Everybody mentions how wonderful is not having to attend the SAC but very very few really show that is actually wonderful by writing in their blogs.
I've taken the time to write a short note in your comments section and warn you about the danger you're bringing on your back. You will have to attend the SAC for 15 hours if you don't update your blogs.
There are so many things to write about, for example tell us about your family, your personality (your likes and dislikes), sports, favorite movies, favorite actors, actresses, how do you spend your free time, what is the most exciting day you remember, your friends, what you like about them, personal experiences, etc.
There are so many things to write about. On the other hand, I see some of you have just copy some material from somewhere else and just paste it in the blog, as long as you add some comments of your own to what you've borrowed from somebody else I'll approve it, otherwise is not right what you're trying to do, so be careful with that.

An Ad-hoc Post

Hello everybody!
It's Sunday. I usually have very busy weekends, but this weekend has been more than busy because we started our Saturday language courses at the CELEX. Besides that, we also started a course for Saturday and Sunday and here I am, seeing that everything is fine on this weekend course. So I decided to write something and check your work.I haven't started to ceck yet and before I do it I want it to post this funny note a friend in Nashville sent me. She's originally from Houston, TX, but is now living in Nashville, TN. That's the reason because being in Nashville she always sends me stuff that is related to Texas.Anyway, hope you all are having a good weekend, though is a bit cold outside.

Cowboy's Ten Commandments posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Fairlie , Texas :
(1) Just one God.
(2) Honor yer Ma & Pa.
(3) No telling tales or gossipin'.
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meeting.
(5) Put nothin' before God.
(6) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal.
(7) No killin'.
(8) Watch yer mouth.
(9) Don't take what ain't yers.
(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff.

Now that's kinda plain an' simple don'tcha think?

Check those links!

Hey everybody!I've added some new links that I think are really useful, interesting and good to practice. Some include quizzes, some others just provide information and, again, my advice about reading comics to improve your English proficiency remains the same. Read those comics and write those words or expressions you're not familiar with so you can come to class and discuss them to make sure you know how to use them.
