My neighbourhood, by Pilar
Category: 1.- In a town/city Date 2012-10-21 18:20:26 
Hello classmates!
I’m Pilar, I live in Sta. Isabel and I am going to give you some information about my neighbourhood.
I have lived in Zaragoza city for many years but there were too many people, too many cars and too much noise.
So, my husband and I decided to live in Sta. Isabel.
It’s a little neighbourhood. There are pedestrian streets and the people can be playing with their children without any danger.
Here we have three Primary Schools (two public and the other ones private), four Nursery Schools and one Secondary School, too.
We have a little library which is visited for many people.
There are many sports facilities (tennis courts, basketball courts, football fields and a swimming pool ).
In Sta. Isabel there are many shops. We have supermarkets, clothes shops, shoe shops, baker’s, chemist’s, beauty salons, . . .
There are a lot of restaurants, pubs and bars.
We don’t have any hospital but we have a Medical Centre.
As well, there is an Adult Centre for attending different courses, for example painting, dancing, doing aerobics, etc.
It’s very well road connected and we have three public bus lines, too.
I really enjoy living here.
Have a good day!
Do you like my neighbourhood ?
Do you live or would you like to live in any similar place?
Or do you just prefer the city?
OUR FIRST TOPIC: TRAVELLING
Category: 4.- Travelling Date 2012-10-21 13:26:05
Hi everbody,
We are going to start our first topic this year: TRAVELLING.
Proposals you said were:
Travelling: specific vocabulary and expressions to manage in another country (restaurants, public transports, hotels, hospitals...) Preferences when travelling. English customs, daily life.
So, in couples, think a bit about how to focus it, which destinations, countries, places around the world would you like to talk about. Find real websites and information about them and for example one group could look for information to manage in a real restaurant in one place, another in real public transport in another destination, another in a real hotel wherever you want.... and then share everything, know different customs and travel around many different places and countries.
But, sure your imagination will be further and you will do really interesting things.
Time to work!
Loli
I WILL SURVIVE and I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

Conversation with my daughter (Chelo)

- Mummy, I have met my friends today at seven o’clock in the Corte Ingles. Can I get there, please?
- Yes, but, do you know the way to go? You have never gone alone.
- No, I don’t. Could you tell me the best way to go?
- Yes, I will say to you the easier way because I don’t want you to get lost.
You have to take the Village bus at 18,15 h (quarter past six), and you will arrive at the last bus station. D'you know, where the library ARS is.
There, you get off the bus and go up Coso St. to Spain Square which you know, too.
Then, turn left and you will see that you are in Independence Avenue. Go along this avenue by the left sidewalk and you will cross several streets.
- How many streets do I have to cross?
- There are the following streets: Saint Miguel St., Zurita, St., Saint Clemente, St., Engracia Square, in this square you can see the Saint Engracia Church, after there is the Aragon Square and next, you will arrive at the crossroads.
There, you have to cross the Constitucion Avenue and you will be in the office block. It’s Ibercaja bank. Go up on the following street, Sagasta Avenue, and you will see immediately the Corte Ingles.
If you get lost you can ask someone or just phone me.
Can you guess how old is my daughter?
Have you had the same experience with some of your teenagers?
How old were they?
Just tell me!
