MARIJABRY AND TATOO

Hi people!
Thanks for sending me your messages! This year I don't teach 1º Bac., of course I'm going to miss you a lot Gabriela (or should I say "Grabiela"?), and Tatoo. Try to study a little, just a little, please. I hope you'll have a great time at your new highschools, I'll be here, in Porriño and you know you can always count on me. Don't forget me and be happy, please!

Pueblo Inglés in La Alberca 2008

helloo!! How are you?

Well I haven't written anything this summer, but now I am writing ... haha

Well, I'm going to talk about a wonderful experience I lived this summer

First I went to Salou!! with the people of 4º ESO, and it was so so so so... cool and funny

But then, two days after I arrived in porriño I went to Salamanca.

Tere I lived this cool experience.

I went to a programme called PuebloInglés.

About 40 Spanish people and 40 Anglo speakers went to a small town called La Alberca, there we stayed speaking in English for one week with English, Americans, Australians...

You cannot speak in Spanish, you must speak English all the time, becouse if you speak Spanish the "anglos" cannot understand you.

Well here, there were mm... I don't know... 6 teams or 7... I don't remember..

But there were teams, and you could win points to your team, or lose points (if you speak in Spanish you lose points). And at the end of this week, the team who has more points wins, but... haha

in my week, my team won (we were the black team), and we only got a bag of candy haha

But there was so funny

And the place where you stay for this week is a 5 star hotel, but it is not a normal hotel, There were many houses in a beautiful place, like a small town, and it was so beautiful

Only four people could stay in each house, there were two big rooms, you shared a room with an anglo-speaker.

If you want to know more about this programme visit this page: http://www.morethanenglish.com/kidsandteens/index.asp

I went to La Alberca becouse it is in Salamanca, but I think there is the same programme in other places.

Ahh!! And if you want to go, you should know that this programme is only for people from 13 to 17 years old.

I will go next year again because it is so funny and you meet people from New York, Ireland, Australia, and you meet Spanish people too haha

That was great I recommend it. But the bad side is the prize.. I dont know exactly but I think 1300 € for person... haha

But it is so great

That was my team

This is one of the houses

Here it was the birthday of a girl

And... it was the flag of my team, the winner team

well byee
see you..

Graffiti!!!!

In my opinion, graffiti are urban art.

Painting good graffiti is hard work,you can paint a wall and what´s more, you can decorate it, but graffiti that are just a signature are not interesting for people, and they ruin a public places. I think that graffiti are ok but in places where there aren't a lot of people so that they will not bother anyone.
Graffiti is not accepted by some people, but it is urban culture that has to be preserved.

Graffiti is my favourite type of art because it is something different.
The drawings are very interesting. Graffiti is art but it is sometimes vandalism when you do it in the wrong place.I have never painted graffiti because I don't like drawing .

Graffiti!

Hello Elvira!
Graffiti are very interesting and very original.
I think that they are very decorative and people like them.
It is not easy to create graffiti, a lot of practice is needed.
I can't paint.
There are some very spectacular, like the one of the photo.
In my opinion it is an artistic, street style.
If they are beautiful they are pleasant to see.
In Porriño There are a lot of grafitti!


Kiss Elvira!!

Graffiti: Art or vandalism?

Hiii everybody!!!!
I think that graffiti is street art; people that paint graffiti are people that need to express their feelings about society, politics or they just paint graffiti as a hobby.But some graffiti are too bad and sometimes they insult people or are racist. I hate them.
In some cities graffiti are prohibited because they are consideratedvandalism, but in other cities graffiti are permitted, because they are street art!!!

It's all for now!!!! see you tomorrow!!!
Kisses Elvira!!!!

Graffiti

HI

I think graffiti is a way for an artist to express his/her feelings and to brighten up a wall. Many times it´s just to decorate, but when they are very well made you can feel the artist´s feelings.
It´s true that many times graffiti is made for the artist to look cool or to paint an illegal wall, and I think it´s for people like those that graffiti is illegal.

Bye
