I am a secondary teacher of English in Southern Spain. I studied MFL in Jaén and I got a DPSI certificate in Law in England. I started my teaching career in Newcastle back in 2000, where I lived for 3 years. Once I returned home, I taught in a public school and got ready to sit the "oposiciones" exam, which I passed!!! Currently, I am teaching in Spain, which has become my definite residence in since 2004.

Sainsbury's Christmas Advert 2016

Watch the advert and answer the following questions?



According to Dave, the protagonist in the story:
- What is he telling you about his life?
- What is the best gift he wants for his family?
- Can you spot the different family types portrayed in the video?
- What do/don't you like about the advert?

"You need this" Project

A2 students (2º Bachillerato) have been working on advertising in this unit, so that they have read about different techniques used by companies. As a final project, they had to make an advert of something of their choice under the slogan "You need this".
They came up with very funny and quality adverts, which I am sharing with you:

The motorbike by Juan Santos and Armando Vega. 
The Awesome Beard Product by José and David Santos.
The Scarf Blanket by Andrea Lijarcio and María Valenzuela. 
An alternative production, a movie trailer, was produced by Laura Troya. Watch it if you dare...

Welcome to the School Year with Living Room Protest!!!

I was told by an extremely good friend of mine about this lovely little girl who protests guided by her mum about topics of general interest or...,sometimes, of the little girl's interest. Without a doubt, you will love her innocence, spontaneity and kind words in an attempt to make a better world. Go Zuri!!!
