Preparing my trip to Bristol!


Hi readers of my e-blog,

today it was a strees and boring sunday at home. I finished homework in the morning and in the afternoon I just prepared my trip to Bristol. Why Bristol? Well, one of my best friends, Isa, is studying there. So she invited me, to her boarding house to stay just a weekend. Probably I will go on March, so the tickets will be cheaper than in summer time.

So, today, Isa called me and she explain what are we going to do the weekend in Bristol. Perhaps, I will arrive on Friday afternoon so we will have dinner together and the go to bed. On Saturday morning I will visit the school and she will present me her friends. On the afternoon we will go with her friends to go shopping in Bristol or to the town. I will buy a lot of things in the different cheapers shops that are in England. On Sunday morning, I probably spent my last hours with Isa and finally I will take a fly to come back to Barcelona.

I excited with this trip because this will be my firts trip(no study trip) I will go alone with a friends. Maybe it is a oportunity to be autonomous and to improve my english.


I will explain you more about my trip when it will be totally prepared!

see you soon!

MY THIRD LISTENING



Las night, I watched a TV episode of “The mentalist’’. It’s a wonderful TV series about a psychic medium who work with the police to solve crimes.
It’s interesting to learn some specific vocabulary from crimes o from the police. It was my first time I saw this TV series in English so, I was not easy to understand. I had to be very attentive and not get distract.
The irony that is used by the actors it’s no easy to understand in English.
I think that the next episode I will see will be easier than the first one.

MY SECOND LISTENING



The second listening is about the creeps. I listen to a video about the BBC about what the people are scared about. The Halloween was last weekend and the two interviewers ask people about what are they creep. People answer`s were spiders, the strange noises, cockroaches…
With this video I learned some vocabulary. At firsts, I didn’t know the meaning of some words: creeps or cockroaches.
Now I know that creep means to make someone feel nervous or scared. Cockroaches are little animals that live in dirty places like kitchens.
It was a easy listening to understand, maybe next time I could chose a little bit difficult to improve my listening in English

MY FIRST LISTENING

The last 23rd of October I finished watching the best TV series I’ve never seen. Is called “The O.C” and it’s about four teenager friends which show their problems and how they effort this type of problems like alcohol, drugs, relationships…
I am surprise because I was able to see this TV series all in English. Some of the idiomatic expressions who were said in the TV series were quite difficult to understand. In the other hand, the series it was recorded in American English and it was hard to realize some vocabulary and expressions with the British English.
I enjoyed watching this TV series, because while I am seeing my favorite series, I can improve my learning of English and some more vocabulary.
