Les Miserables

Hi, everyone!

This post is about the last movie I've seen at the cinema: Les Miserables, based on the musical (based on Victor Hugo's famous novel). I do recommend the film because most of it is in English - it's a musical, remember!.

So if you're thinking of going to the cinema this Christmas, why not seeing Les Mis? Take a look at the videos below and listen to one of the most famous songs from the musical, I dreamed a dream, performed by Anne Hathaway.

Xmas Party!!

[slideshow]

Hi, everyone!

On December 20th we'll be celebrating Xmas at our EOI de Montoro, so why don't you join us?

There'll be karaoke, trivia, we'll sing Christmas carols, and lots more. Ah, I almost forgot: there's a dessert contest, too.

So join us and let's say goodbye to 2012 together!

Take a look at the contest rules which Pilar, our head of the DACE department, has written for us.

We can help, can't we?

Hi, everyone!

It's always a good time to help those in need, so again this year we're going to help the MONTORO FOOD BANK.

How are we going to do such a great thing?  You can bring lentils, chick peas, rice, sugar, tinned food... to our office and we'll give it to the Montoro Food Bank on Friday 21st December.

Lots of thanks!

Xmas presents 4 all! 2012

[slideshow]

Hi, everyone!

Once again, Xmas time is nearly here, so I thought I could ask you for some presents, once more, just like last year.

The instructions are pretty much the same: you need to write me an email telling me what presents you bought. So let's imagine you won £1000 in a contest and you're going to spend that money on presents for your relatives, friends, and your English teacher -- don't forget to include me!!

You need to visit the following online shops and look for the right present, and explain why you chose them.

THANK YOU AND MERRY XMAS!
