Finish this Sentence! - GAME



Hi, there!,
I'd like to share with you all this easy practical game: "FINISH THIS SENTENCE!". I hope you'll like it! Let's see...
At the beginning, the teacher delivers one piece of cardboard to every student, they have to make up a sentence, but without the ending,, such as: "If my teacher slept in class, ..." or "We'll be given..." or "Mary told him that she ..."

Then, the teacher collects all the cards, checks them quickly and delivers one to every student. And now, game is ready.: 1,2,3, GO!!!! Once the young learners know a possible ending for their cards, they raise their hands and say it aloud!
Thanks to this simple exercise, they can learn, revise and get many different goals. Just try it! ;)

Downton Abbey


Hi, there!,

Downton Abbey is a British TV drama, truly famous in UK and USA, and now in Spain too. It is mainly written by Julian Fellowes. The TV serie is set in a realistic Edwardian country house, two years before the beginning of the Great War. The drama begins with the shipwreck of the Titanic.

From the very beginning, you as spectator can feel involved and engaged, since there are several exciting topics such as the inheritan
ce problem, rebellious servants vs. loyal servants; society should be free to mix and chat everyone, no matter your class; convinient loveless marriage?; a female servant who wants to be a secretary, she wants to change her status; and so on. I strongly recommend you to watch DOWNTON ABBEY, an undoubtful masterpiece.
