Today we have beenin the virtual room, where there are a lot of tablets, computers and a projector.
We had to surf the internet and going to Minomo, a web page where you can do a multimedia presentation so we had to mae a ''little concert'' with videos from YouTube. Every group made one. Then we saw all of them at the projector which was controlled by Simone.

Today, in PI, we have been seing the interviews to foreigners form all over Europe and America that our classmates did with goups of 3-5.
We started with our video (Mª Victoria, Mª Trini, Mónica, Inés and me). It cost to record, edit and translate the conversation putting the subtitles under the screen, but it was well worth.
Then, we saw the other interviews, some were heard better than others but, in the end, all of them were good.

Education is wasted in some people.

Writing. "Education is wasted in some people"

As says the title, many people think that education is wasted on children and teenagers who don't pay attention in class, they don't work neither at home nor in class; what should do the Ministry of education?
I think it's worth spending time with these children and teenagers who don't fit in the system, assign expert people to lead them to the correct road it's a very good idea in my opinion. We must think they are people like us with another mentality who just need help to organize and clarify their ideas.
To sum up, education is wasted if people who needs help to go on doesn't recieve help.

I was 14 years old, when one of my teammates went running, but he didn't see me and hit me with his knee to my leg. He hurt me and spent a month home and I almost could not walk. In the moment that he hit me, I thought he had broken my leg.

Question

Have you  ever been to an English-speaking country to study English?

When I was doing 3rd of ESO I travelled to Malta with all the classes that were doing 3rd of ESO too.
There, the Maltese people speak English, Maltesse and I think something of Italian (I'm not sure).
We stand there for a week and I think it was useful.
We lived with a family, so we had to practise English whether wanted or not.


               Virtual school
               Pros                 -          cons
You can study at home      You can't speak directly
                                           with the teacher
You decide when you        The internet conection
start                                    could fail
                                           The teacher can't help you
                                           You don't make friends



The virtual language school- not language travel-is now the the best way to learn English.
Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

We (our group) disagree with this statement. When you travel to another country, you have to speak in the native language whether wanted or not.
In a virtual school you can't practise the pronounciation. In a virtual school you haven't got a teacher who corrects you at the moment.
