People of Israel! It’s me. Your personal Moses in the English-speaking desert. This time I’m going to use this post as a reminder of some of the stuff I asked you to do over the Easter break. So I’ll go cut to the chase:

Avanzado 2: your a essay about your recipe for a happy life is due on April 7. Remember that the general idea should be something along the lines of “yes, we know that money doesn’t make us happy, what I believe is …”

Intermedio 1: I’m still waiting for those videoclips I asked you to record in the sanctity of your homes (no pressure). Remember that you get credit on the progress report!

If you have the time, check out this funny video: one light-hearted (and rather gratuitous) list to make you smile a little. Thanks to the autocomplete feature of the most popular search engine in the world offers (Google) we can have a few laughs by taking a look at the things people search for on the Internet. Hope you can enjoy it.

Hey, how are things? Thinking of your Easter holiday plans already? I understand... Still, there some of you out there who would like to revisit that old list of extreme adjectives that make your English more interesting. So here goes: extreme adjectives:

My dearest students. Some words of wisdom from your language facilitator (!). Just a few reminders for those of your that may have skipped some classes.

Avanzado 2: you are expected to submit a discursive essay on any one of the three topics that the textbook suggests (excercise 10A page 85). Please hand it in before the Easter break.

Intermedio 1: I have decided to upload a rapid-fire version of the PowerPoint presentation I put together for my after-the-exams-speech. Enjoy.

Oh! One more thing. Remember that stand-up comedian I mentioned in class? The one that does a perfect impression of the preview guy? Here's a short clip showing one of his trademark pieces.
