IMPORTANTE: Ya que no tenemos clase desde hace dos semanas y no nos veremos hasta el día 8 de enero, aprovecho este blog para mandaros una lectura A ELEGIR DE ENTRE ESTAS DOS. Se hará un test durante la tercera semana de enero para comprobar que lo habéis leído (insisto: sólo uno de ellos):
"Escape" (para principiantes absolutos)
"The Butler Did it and Other Plays" (para alumnos con cierto nivel de partida)
Como veis os dejo elegir libremente, pero sed honrados y sensatos y elegid en función de vuestro verdadero nivel. Los dos libros son de Oxford.

My last holidays
Last summer my wife and I spent our holidays in several European countries. We did the journey by car.
FIRST we drove to Leon, in the north of Spain, about eight hundred
kilometres from here, to visit my mother, who celebrated her ninetieth birthday. A FEW DAYS LATER we drove more than a thousand kilometres in one day to France, the home country of my wife. We were tired but happy to see that the family were safe and sound. We arrived at the Loire Valley, the famous region of the castles and we stayed in an apartment. During three weeks we visited the principal sightseeings of several towns, such as Tours, the main town of the region, Amboise, with its royal castle and the “Clos Lucé”, the last mansion of Leonanrdo Da Vinci, gift of his friend Francis I, the King of France, and different castles like Azay-le-Rideau, Chambord or Cheverny.
THIS WAS SOME OF OUR DAILY ROUTINE THERE: we walked along Loire river, in the forest or rode on bike through the little towns in the Loire Valley. Every day or frequently in the week there were "light and sound" festivals at several castles in the region, groups of musicians playing on the
streets or in the squares in the evening. Single tourists or groups of them walked on
the streets or just sat at the restaurants and drank different kinds of drinks,
tee, coffee, wine, beer, … had lunch or a dinner, told things or just laughed...
AFTER THREE WEEKS we decided to go to Italy and to visit a little the north of it,
especially the region of Tuscany. The first day we drove nine hundred kilometres,
to the town of Turin, the second day to Milan, the third day we visit Bologne
and we drove later to Florence, where we stayed for three days and visited the most
important sightseeings, the cathedral and other churches, different palaces and
museums, Palazzo Vecchio, Uffizi, Piti, Medici,… and other very interesting places.
A FEW DAYS LATER we drove to Pisa, the town of Galileo Galilei, which is famous for its cathedral, baptistery and the world-famous leaning tower, after a day we left Pisa and left Italy and we arrived in Nice, in France, where we stayed only for one day. FINALLY we drove back to Spain again.

MY LAST TRIP
OLGA ALBURQUERQUE GARCÍA
Last summer I was in Paris for a week with my family and some friendS; BESIDES, in Spain I stayed on the beach.
When I was staying in Paris, the weather was really good, it was sunny.
The best day was when I did the following things: FIRST I visited the Louvre, I am not a "culture vulture" but I liked it a lot; SECONDLY/IN THE SECOND PLACE I went to Notre Dame. It is amazing and a very huge building. FINALLY, at night I visited the Eiffel tower and got to the top, the view was just fantastic! THEN I went to have dinner with my family and my friends, the food was delicious.
TO SUM UP, I enjoyed this travel a lot and I want to go back soon. I would be doing this travel over and over again because it is awesome.
ALSO in Spain I was at the beach with my friends.
During the day we did many things: we swam in the sea and in a pool, sat in the sun, had lunch at the beach… At night we went out for dinner, to the cinema…
I love the beach because it is my favorite place in the world, I would like to spend all my time there.
Last summer was great for me; I think it was the best.

south-east of the country. I live with my parents, my sister and my brother.
