Again, still another techno-tool to help you with your studies. This blog is "work-in-progress" , which means that things are added and removed on a regular basis. Here you'll find extra-reading, extra-listening, extra-grammar stuff, extra writing tips... extra-everything, so it's up to you what you do with it. Needless to say, your feedback, ideas, and comments are very welcome.

*This blog is 'apture-powered', which means that if you highlight a word, a 'learn more' sign will theoretically appear. Click on it and it will show a list of internet links related to that word. Just try.

Torn


This is not the post I had in mind, but as you problably know the wind has torn the roof off the building and all the 3rd floor classrooms are, as you can imagine, destroyed and flooded. You've probably received the 'avis urgent' we've been sending this afternoon to all students, and we have also posted an 'official' message in our school web page .
We've been working this afternoon trying to rescue what's left of our computers, beamers etc and still have to assess the damage done.
So I'm sorry to say next Wednesday, Thursay and Friday classes have been cancelled.
Now we are definitely torn and homeless. But let's be positive and think that every cloud has a silver lining.

Please check the EOI Garraf webpage for official updates on the situation.

The answer, my friend, may be blowing in the wind. Who knows?

*** Update Oct 13th:
As you can see, I've posted a slide show so that you can have an idea of the damage. This is not going to be repaired anytime soon. Our laptops and beamers are OK. We are the trolley teachers.

"Every cloud has a silver lining" means that we'll have a new school soon. Do you belive it? If this is true, we'll start to think you're a magical director and probably my sceptic classmates change their opinion about psychic powers. Anyway, I hope horror festival film's witchs haven't grasped you.
See you soon (I hope)

Sorry. My classmates aren't "sceptic" but skeptical. This word isn't in the vocabulary bank (personality) I think.
Regards again

Glad to read you, Guillermo. We don't need any horror movies here -fact is stranger than fiction, as they say. We won't have a new school in a couple of weeks' time, but this is a magnificient opportunity to shout and to make our voice be heard ONCE AGAIN - although, as usual, the political/financial situation is not a favourable one.
Maybe I can work magic or maybe I'm a wicked witch but I'm sure you can help us with YOUR OWN psychic powers -and you know deep down inside all the skeptical minds are actually true believers.
In any case, any help -scientific or psychic is welcome.

Hope to see you all soon too!
