Show what is inside you...
Hello dear ones, I am writing you from Braziers, this communal place near Oxford you come and work and share your time with other people while you speak in English. Some Morato student has already been here. When you are 18 or more, this could be a different option for you, read about this place.
Have a good summer now.
Hugs

"In A Better World"......Wonderful Film
I saw this film today and was really impressed. I had already seen other creations by the same director, and this one is really worth it. But remember, try to watch it in Original Version.
Have a good summer all of you.
Hugs
Have a good summer all of you.

Techers Retiring in 2011
Dear students, I have uploaded this picture here to say goodbye to all the teachers that have retired from Morato High this course. They are not all here, but as soon as I have another picture with all of them I will show it to you. Would you like to send them a message from the blog? Your teachers will sure read them and appreciate your words. Have a great summer.
Hugs
Paloma

The course has ended...once more!
One more time, one more year has gone by.
Many memories, many hours have passed.
Don't be sad. It is good that you say goodbye.
Now, when you return,
You will bring good and different news.
We will be the same, waiting for you.
There is not school,
If it is not full with you.
Come back if you please.
Be sure there will always be
A smile waiting for you!

CARNIVAL TIME...2011
Carnival is a time for transgressions. Teachers should give the power to Students to take over. This year, the students of 4º ESO Diversificación and myself decided we should show The Morato they are people with A FUTURE.
I went back to my year of student at my USA High School wehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifaring my real graduation cap and gown. They are a symbol representing the ritual of leaving your home and parents care and entering the real adulthood and responsibilities in life.
It was fun to visit the School Authorities and Teacher's Room wishing them all a good carnival time. Feeling a real grown up is good for the students spirits and self steem. The 4ºESO Students will finish their compulsory education years this June, and soon they will have to decide what to do with their future. We all wish them the very best, although the 2nd and 3rd term exams have to be finished first. But that will be by the end of this week. WE have started it with CARNIVAL TIME...!!!

Frases en exámenes
Frases de los alumnos que delatan que algo no irá bien con el examen:
- ¿Pero el examen no era mañana???
- ¿Qué hace todo el mundo repasando integrales si lo de hoy va del renacimiento italiano?
- ¿Por qué tú tienes 163 folios de apunte y yo sólo tengo 12?
- Espera... He contestado tres preguntas de seis, pero aquí pone que ésas puntúan la mitad que las otras.
- Así que Canaletto no es defensa del Real Madrid...
- Oye, ¿Qué es eso de que las prácticas a las que falté también hacen media con el examen de hoy?
Frases de los profesores que delatan que algo no irá bien con tu examen:
- Nada de calculadoras. Esas raices cúbicas se pueden hacer a ojo perfectamente.
- Sin preguntas. Ya hicimos un problema igualito en clase... Creo.
- Responded en naranja a las preguntas impares, y verde las pares. Vuestros datos en fucsia. Si no, no se corrige.
- ¿Os acordáis de ese tema que dije que CASI seguro que no entraba?
- Para este examen podéis sacar si queréis los apuntes.
- Tendréis un descanso para cenar y otro para el desayuno.
Frases que confirman que, efectivamente, el examen te ha salido fatal:
- ¿La lista está por orden de nota? Pues no me veo...
- Espera... ¡A todos os da mal la integral menos a mí!
- Un pomento... ¿Se puntúa sobre 10 o sobre 5?
- Pero, ¿no había que marcar las respuestas que no eran correctas?
- ¿La pregunta 55 del folio 2? ¿Había folio 2?
- Andá... He hecho el examen en la hoja sin sellar y me he llevado la sellada.
Frases que no es bueno oir durante una revisión de examen:
- ¡Anda, si esta pregunta te la he puntuado dos veces!
- Le advierto que si reviso el examen, lo reviso todo...
- Sé que sólo ha fallado una pregunta, pero era la más importante de las 523.
- Se ha pasado de esquemática.
- ¡A, sí! Le e suspendio vásicamente por la hortographia.
- Te suspendo por tu bien, porque creo que puedes dar más de tí, hijito...

Para compensar os envio esta canción...No dejeis de escuchar Inglés y recoged las copias de Exámenes Pau Junio 2010 de Inglés que os he dejado en conserjería del Morato...
Hugs,
Paloma

"Bed of Roses" Bon Jovi
Aprovechando la despedida del curso 2009-10 tambien para los más peques del Morato, voy a realizar mi primera aportación al blog con esta canción que muchos no conocían y creo que merece la pena que añadan a su cultura musical.... Se trata de Bed of Roses de Bon Jovi. Prometo que la próxima vez será en inglés.

Bon Jovi "It's my life" Live in Rock in Rio Madrid 2010
Hello everybody...I know you are tired and weary at this time...But you got here and the best is still to come...I guess you could not attend the Rock in Rio in Madrid, so I just offer you this video here with a clasic song...Hope you enjoy it...GOOD LUCK TOMORROW for everybody in your University entry exam of "Selectividad"!
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
CHORUS:
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting hard make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your owns breaks
Repeat - Chorus
Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
Repeat - Chorus to fade

"The Office" Steve Carell, brilliantly hilarious, just take a break.
Here are some of the best videos on Youtube about this wonderful British comedy "THE OFFICE", awarded with a Bafta award among others, and whose American version with Steve Carell, has hooked so many spectators, including myself. I hope you can enjoy some of their chapters and use your English outside the classroom now and always. Remember that Original Versions are there for you to enjoy your favourite actors and actresses wonderful voices. Enjoy yourselves, with moderation!!!!!
All the actors together:
Every "That's What She Said" from The Office
Funny scene from The Office
The Office - I declare bankruptcy! Michael Scott
Great Michael Scott moment.

Nina Simone "Feelings" (Montreux Jazz Festival)
(Minute 8:36):
"Here in my heart you'll always stay
Here in my heart, no matter what the words may say
You will stay in my heart
No matter what the day
You will stay here in my heart
No matter what they say...
I will always have my feelings for you"
