Roberto García

I don't agree at all with the part of the things we can find in internet because in most of the webpages you have the option to translate it into your own language.

However, I think that the part of travelling around the world and communicating with people is very important and it is one of the things why I learn English.

I think the video is very nice and easy because their English is very clear.
The hardest part of English for me is the irregular past verbs and the phrasal verbs and the most interesting part is the vocabulary!

Why should we learn English?

Watch this video made by English students about the reasons why we should learn this language and answer the following questions:

Roberto García, my little presentation

Hello everyone, My name is Roberto García. I am a 25 years old and I am from Spain. I was born in the marvellous city of Santander in which I currently live. My favourite music groups are: The wombats, The tin thing or The Strokes. Here you have one of my favourite songs!

 I also enjoy a lot doing sports, especially skiing, football and tennis.

I love travelling too, as an example, my favourtie place in the world, apart from Santander, is Japan. I lived there during a year a few years ago and it is a wonderful city. Here you have a picture I take when I was in Tokyo:

See you in class!

MY LITTLE PRESENTATION

Hello everyone!
For our first activity in the blog I want you to make a little presentation of yourselves so that you can get to know each other. I want you to tell me general information about yourselves (place of birth, age, where do you live, your interests and hobbies...) It would be a good idea if you could post some photos about yourselves or your friends and family. You can even make a video at your Youtube channel and post it!
