An Indian Farewell

My dear students, the time has come to say goodbye. I have been your teacher for three years and I have to tell you that it has been apleasure for me. We have shared many things, and we have lived together moments of unforgetable memories. We went together to Italy, then to Germany and finally our trip to Canada as a result of the Orator. I have always tried to be up to date since you were very demanding, and be the kind of teacher you expected. I hope not to have disappointed you. I have enriched my life with all the experiences that we have enjoyed throughout these years. And as an Indian farewell says: until we meet again may the Great Spirit make sunrise in your heart, and may your moccasines make tracks of many snows yet to come.
All the best, your teacher of English and German.

THE LAST POST

This is the end of a long period that started sixteen years ago. In this stage have happened a lot of things, good and bad, but every time with our partners, the same partners. This will change the next year because each of us will take a different path in our live but I think that the good memories nobody will forget.
One of those good experiences has happened this year in the English class. Our blog has been the enter of the new technologies in class and in my opinion in one very near future all the subjects will use it.
Good holidays and good luck for everybody.
Joan.

LEARNING WITH THE INTERNET AND THE BLOG

Most of us usually receive emails that inform about how to learn English with only 1000 words, how to have a graduate of ESO simply with a short course without moving of home and more things that we didn’t think that could exist.
In my case, I’ve never tried these experiences before because I thought that I learned quite a lot at school but I have discovered that we don’t have to close the doors of the wisdom and, for this reason, it’s required and essential to prove new experiences, for example, our Blog.
It has been a good way to learn more about a wide language like English, to participate in the same activity in group and, specially, to pay attention at the mistakes that we typically make.
In conclusion, I have learnt to have more freedom and facilities at the time of writing any composition.

Thanks and I’m really glad that we have shared this experience together.

Tнιѕ ιѕ noт тнe end!™

Well, we have finished another period of our life, another step ahead in our progress. Now we have others objectives, we need to think from another point of view, more mature.

The last year was very complete: firstly we had to make a project with our friend Manel Dalmau about the "memòria històrica"; then we finished our "treball de recerca"; during all the year we are writing in two bloggs from English and Spanish class; we had to make a lot of jobs and homework and the most important, to pass "Bachillerato".

Was an exciting year. Thanks to all my class' friends for to be like they are and for all of our teachers how help us in order to pass Bachillerato.

I don't have anything more to say, only that all of you have a friend for all that you want, if you need something I will help you inside my possibilities.

And how I began this letter, this is not the end, it' just the beginning!!!!!!

A CURIOSITY

If you fold a piece of paper down the middle doing it smaller, you will arrive in a moment in which you won’t be able to continue.
The other day, I found out that if you can fold 42 times the paper on itself, you would have an equal thickness to the distance between the Earth and the Moon.
If you want to prove it, try it and you will see that difficulty you will obtain to fold the piece of paper down the middle more than seven times. Luckily, you will arrive at eight or nein… but no more. Also, you can choose a big paper (A3…), but you will see!
If you use a thin paper, you will be able to fold it until seven times and, with difficulty, until eight but although it’s very thin, you won’t pass it more.
So, the result is a heavy paper and every time would be bigger if we could do it…
In conclusion, 42 folders would produce as a result a thickness of… 351.000 kilometres, almost equal of the distance of the Moon.
Numerically, if we fold the paper 42 times we would have two elevated in 42 layers or, the same, 4.398.046.511.104 layers. If every layer has a thickness of 0,8 tenth of millimetre, we obtain a thickness of 351.843,72 kilometres.
Incredible but true!!!

Mundial record: Britney Gallivan was able to fold a paper until 12 times.
