Carmen you can try to post your own articles... read the instructions on how to write on the blog...Good luck!

Hi there! I´m Leonor from Portugal, I was in the other class. Congratulations for the great blog. :-)
Thanks for the blog, Oana. It is great. I have already tried some of the new methods from our course b u t my pupils just don't like talking English to one another and they are very lively ... if you know what I mean. So I do have some little problems there. Any solutions or tricks for me?
By the way: Vaults and Gardens in the sunshine as the best Cafe for me apart from Freud of course.
Wonderful photos, Oana, especially the American lady ...
Hi my dear colleagues!
For some of you school has already begun and you have already tried some of the activities with your students.
From your words, Nicholas, I could infer that your students didn't respond well to the activities you tried in class. Well, don't allow this experience to put you off. Students are different from class to class and things may not work well in one class or on one day but then with another class or with the same class but on another day we may be surprised with the outcome.
I'm back at work although school hasn't begun yet. We start on the 15th and I'm quite anxious to try some of the activities from our course.
Well, I liked the idea of the "TOP 10" and here goes my contribution to it.
1.The best thing that happened to me: On the one hand, to be part of such a wonderful class who shared the same professional concerns, on the other the fact that I got to know how nice my Portuguese colleague,Leonor, who is also a teacher at my school, is.
2.The most beautiful place I visited: The city of Bath and, in Oxford, the Bodleian Library.
3.The best restaurant:The Red Lion (near the British Study Centres. Besides being cheap the food was delicious.
4.The nicest event: The play "As You Like it" in the beautiful gardens of Trinity College on the 15th July,08.
5.The best dish:mint lamb strw with mashed potato (which I ate ib Bath).
6.The best place to spend your money:Waterstones Bookshop and Portobello Market(in London).
7.The funniest activity:The Exercise on "The Lonely Hearts" used to describe people. This exercise can be fun and funny, thus motivating students using the English language.
8.The most demoralizing thing: Presentation work. I love teaching but feel terrible having to expose myself to colleagues.
9.The best deal: The trip to/ from London and the musical "Phantom of the Opera"
10.The saddest day: none.
