Happy Christmas

Ding dong dong
Ding dong dong...

Ding dong merrily on high,
In heav'n the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

E'en so here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,
And "Io, io, io!"
By priest and people sungen.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers;
May you beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

Halloween is coming!
To learn a little bit about this festival, please visit History.com and watch these videos about its history and its origins.

If you want to celebrate it, enjoy these ones by In a world ...:







And do not miss the song This is Halloween from Tim Burton's movie Nightmare Before Christmas.

'Twas a long time ago,
longer now than it seems,
in a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams.
For the story that you are about to be told,
took place in the holiday worlds of old.
Now, you've probably wondered where holidays come from.
If you haven't, I'd say it's time you begun!

Social networks

Social networking websites, such as MySpace, Facebookor or Twenti, have become very popular these days. They are places where you can connect up with friends and family, meet people who have the same interests as you and share photos, videos and things like that.

See how they work with this video by Commoncraft. Afterwards, you can read its trascription.

As you can see, social networks may have some advantages. However, not everyone loves them:

Remember, dear students, your writing on social networks have to be handed in soon.
You may write about their advantages and disadvantes or you may write about your own experience using them (I know most of you have an account on Twenti)

The Short-Range Assault Weapon

St. George. Books and Roses.

April 23rd, the Day of Saint George, was declared as International Day of the Book by UNESCO in 1995. On this date and in the same year of 1616, Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died.
The idea for this celebration originated in Catalonia, where on 23 April, Saint George's Day, people exchange gifts between them. Historically, men gave women roses, and women gave men a book to celebrate the occasion—"a rose for love and a book forever."

According to the legend, St. George rescued a princess by defeating a fearsome fire-breathing dragon. After slaying the creature, legend says that a drop of its blood sprouted into a red rose which the saint gave to the princess he had saved.

St. George is the patron saint of England. For more information, visit: projectbritain.com and Learn Englisn free online
