Overwhelmed

I cannot possibly go through all your texts and correct them thoroughly now! What a pity the word “exam” has rushed you into production when I would have liked to read one hundred texts these weekends I only found four or five pieces of writing on your blogs. But I assure you, even though I have no time to correct them, I am reading them all as well as all your comments too and I will have a good look at what you have done after you bring your “dossiers” next week.    

Those teachers who share the world of teaching know how impossible days become as we approach the end of the school year preparing stuff and doing tasks that seem invisible to other people’s eyes! I can tell you I DO NOT HAVE A LIFE right now!

We will get to know each other on the 8th of June in Sitges as we finally agreed in class. Then all the thrill will be over. I will send a Nicenet letter to give instructions to get to my place, please do not think it is spam. We will also talk about the final details of the party on the 29th of May in class.

Relax, read and get soaked into English before you come to the exam next week. I know you can do a good job!

All the best…

Ready for the party?

As Ladybird pointed out a few days ago in our Blog Community we should be ready for the “Identity party”.

Here are my views on that!

·       I’d love to gather you all at an informal dinner party at my little apartment in Sitges.

·       How about Saturday 26th May or Friday June 1st?  

·       What about not revealing your identities immediately. Bring something on you that may give us a hint of who you are. Then all along the evening-night we can discover by asking questions, observing…

·       I can prepare some salads and other food but I’d also like your contribution with some drinks (Soft : Coke, etc. And alcoholic ones: wine or cava…) for I shouldn’t carry heavy stuff up the house. My back is not still in perfect shape! You’ll understand why when you come!

·       Last but not least, I’d suggest you to read your partner’s blogs to be able to discover them that day.

Give me your views on day, type, food, drinks, etc… and think about how you can get organized to come to Sitges the day we decide for the party. (There are busses running from BCN to Sitges every hour all night long but you can also get organized with some of your private cars. See what you think!)

I’m really looking forward to meeting you all that day! Some of your writings have been just great!!!!

All the best,

The teacher
