Traditional methodologies are still better than modern methodologies.

Introducing new methodologies at school is good for all teachers. The older teachers must learn about other points of interest.

First of all, to teach modern methodologies it is necessary to motivate and engage all the group of students. It is important, that they are excited to learn and they like to improve every day in their job. For example, if they don't have a positive attitude, they won't be able to learn and they will be closed to any new methodology. Next, it is important to know traditional methodologies and use them because we know that these methodologies are right.

Secondly, to learn and use modern methodologies it is necessary to dedicate time and effort. Traditional methodologies are better for older teachers than for new teachers.

Finally, in my opinion, one methodology isn't better than an other, what is important is how we apply them. Also, learning new methodologies helps us to grow as teachers. Do you agree with me? What do you think?

Write a short email to a friend telling him or her about your plans for the future.

Dear Toni,

How are you? What about your plans for the future? I am writing to know about you and tell you about my future plans. First of all, I like to finish this year at university and later, during the summer, I am going to the beach, going out with my friends and travelling to visit other parts of the world. Also, it is posible that I will be working with children in a summer school.
Nowadays, I am a child educator but I prefer to study to become a teacher. When I finish my studies at university, I want to look for a good job.

Nice to hear from you again.

Best wishes.

ICT is the future of education. Discuss.

ICT is the future of the world because everybody has computers, DVD and ICT is being used for working at home.

Firstly, all students in theirs classroom have a place for a computer. For example, when they have finished their work the teacher says that they can use the computer. It is fantastic that children learn very quickly how to use a computer. For instance, at home their parents are excited about the abilities of their children with computers. Also, learners can learn with different methodologies.

However, lots of children spend time with older brothers and sisters, in other words, these children spend a lot of time in front of the computer, surfing the internet and they can log in to pages that might not be suitable for their age.

In my opinion, it is very interesting for children and teachers to use new tecnologies. ICT isn't only the future of education, but the future of health, politics... Do you agree with me?

Write a short email to a friend telling him or her about your first year at college.

Dear Nuria,

How are you? And your family? My family and I are very well.
I am writing to tell you about my first year at college. Seven months ago I started at university, where I have met a lot of friends.
My first day was fun and soon I was with other friends, I had already met them in a vocational course we did before.
Also, I am learning a lot about children and their skills.
I am happy to say that I am studying English but unfortunately, at the moment i can't go to visit you. Nowadays, I am working.
My university isn't the best, but I like it. I think it is small and all students know each other.
Could you tell me about yourself? Nice to hear from you again.

Best wishes.

Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace is the official residence of the British Monarchy in London.

It is used for celebrations and important meetings. It is opened for tourist during the summer months. To visit the palace, it is necessary to buy tickets because the seats are limited.

The palace is protected by the royal guard which they are famous for their suits and shows that they offer to the tourist. Around it, there are big gardens where people enjoy taking a lot of photos.

One of the best knowns places of the palace is the royal balcony, where kings and queens go out to receive the visitors.

The palace is near other points of interest: Green Park and Saint James Park. If we compare Buckingham Palace to other palaces and British castles, it is more modern in all aspects.

This house has a big central block of three buildings and two smaller buildings more. Nowadays the palace is decorated with pictures of royalty over the centuries.
