welcome e-mail


Hello Lourdes!
Have you had a good summer holiday?
I don't know what to say but something I'll write. To begin this e-ail I want to explain a little bit my holidays. There are not plenty of activities but I've been working in a supermrket in Empuriabrava and it means that I have been in contact with tourist specially with French and English.


A curious thing is that sometimes these people come to you to ask something but first they say someting like "do you speak English?" or "vous parlez français?" and when you had said "yes" or "oui" they only asked "have you got a toilet?" or something that you don't need to talk or something that you don't need to talk or understand a lot English or French. In other cases sometimes people when you have said "yes" they started to talk a lot and quick and then I thought " I speak good English, but could you speak more slowly?" and when you answered in their own language they said that I spoke English fluently depite that I was ashamed.


Well, this is only a thing that I like of know English, can talk with tourists and make friends of different countries, because English it's common in most schools around the world, even some Chinese, Germans and Russians talked to me in English. It was fun to see how they managed to try to say something in Spanish =).
Well, I think that it's enough, I only wanted to explain an English experience or anecdote of this summer.
By and see you in class,

Kisses and Hugs

☼ I will survive ☼

This is a song of Gloria Gaynor that we've sung at class. I like this song so I've thought to put it here 'cause is an activity that could be in portfolio. =) enjoy it.

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong

I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as I know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me.
