WELCOME BACK!



Here we are again. New course, new students, new subjects, new teachers... This year English is going to be a little bit more difficult. You'll have to think and work in English all the time, so here you have an essential tool: A DICTIONARY! (That thing you never use). When you are on-line use it and also use the one you have on your shelf!

ART



This last unit of the course we're learning more about ART, especially paintings. In class we only had time to see some important paintings in history, but there are many more. If you like this topic, as I do, click on the links below to know more. You can use them to help with your composition as well.

Many of the paintings that we saw in class are in Museums in Madrid, as "Guernica" (Reina Sofia), "The Meninas" (Prado) and many more. Why not visiting them this summer? Check the website for timetables and prices.
