Si eres alumno de 1º de ESO y quieres participar en este concurso, tienes que diseñar tu propio avatar (dibujándolo y coloreando luego, o componiendo su cuerpo a base de recortes de revistas de colores, etc) y escribir junto a él un texto en Inglés que sirva para describirlo.
En los contenidos de las páginas 10 y 11 de tu Student's book encontrarás ideas para hacerlo bien y el vocabulario necesario para describirlo (He / She is... young/old, fat/thin, good-looking/ugly, tall/short //
He / She has got... long/short...curly/straight...dark/fair...hair // ... brown/blue/green/big/small...eyes, etc). Debes añadir alguna característica más relativa a su cuerpo: cómo son sus brazos o piernas, su boca, nariz, orejas..., además de decirnos su nombre, la edad, cosas que le gustan, si tiene animales domésticos (pets), cómo va vestido, etc.
Tienes de plazo hasta el lunes 15 para entregarle tu avatar en clase a tu profesor o profesora de Inglés. En una hoja de tamaño folio (A4), bajo el título 'MY AVATAR', debes presentar tu trabajo para el concurso (el dibujo y el texto de presentación), y escribir en la parte inferior de la hoja tu nombre completo y el curso.
Los profesores del Departamento actuarán como Jurado del concurso y decidirán qué alumnos recibirán como premio lecturas graduadas en Inglés.

(See Student's book for reference, pages 8-9)
Now you must choose one of the topics from the vocabulary of the unit (animal rights, environmental problems, music, sport, technology, the developing world, school life, war and terrorism, fashion, television and cinema), and write a similar text stating your opinion in four or five sentences.
If you decide to choose a topic which has already been chosen by somebody else, you can start a discussion by saying if you agree or disagree with him/her, and why.

Enjoy life & live it to the full.
Best of luck from...

FUN GRAMMAR: CREATING QUESTIONNAIRES!!
The students in 4º were supposed to practise the structures
of the 2nd Conditional by creating their own questionnaires (similar to that on
page 101 of the coursebook: HOW ROMANTIC ARE YOU?).
Some intended to test how sexy, how tolerant, how sensitive,
how polite, how artistic, how ‘fashion’ or how daring they were.
Nevertheless, to illustrate this entry with samples of the
work done by the students, I have chosen the topic which has been selected by
most of them:
HOW ADVENTUROUS ARE
YOU ?
1. If you got lost in the
jungle, you would…
a) …search for people to help you
b) …make a compass to guide you.
c) …feed a tiger, tame it and teach it to
protect you.
// taken from the
questionnaire by Juan B. Barroso,
4ºB // (1*)
2. If you were in a zoo
and someone told me to touch a snake, you would…
a) …start crying because you hate snakes!
b) …be afraid but you would touch it anyway.
c) …love the experience because the touch of
their skin is very nice.
// taken from the
questionnaire by Paula Llorente, 4ºA // (2*)
3. If you had to travel
somewhere, you would…
a) …go to your village, which is a peaceful
place where you could visit your family.
b) …discover some new civilised country, like
England, France, Italy…
c) …travel to some mountainous region to do
climbing, or to Africa on a safari.
// taken from the
questionnaire by Sandra Merino, 4ºA // (3*)
4. If you were walking
down the street and you found an abandoned house, you would…
a) …walk away very quickly because you would be
afraid.
b) …enter the house but you would leave it very
soon.
c) …settle into the house and spend the night
there.
// taken from the questionnaire
by Adriana Sánchez, 4ºA // (4*)
5. It it were your
birthday, you would ask for…
a) …a weekend at a spa.
b) …a day out rafting.
c) …an exciting bungee jump.
// taken from the
questionnaire by Elena González, 4ºA // (5*)
6. If your friend invited
you to try and climb the Mont Blanc with him, you would…
a) …accompany him, even though you are not in a
good physical form.
b) …ask him to climb La Maroma instead.
c) …refuse to go because you have fear of
heights and easily get dizzy.
// taken from the
questionnaire by Javier Medianero, 4ºA // (6*)
7. If you were one of the
characters in a Mario Bros videogame, you would be…
a) …Toad.
b) …Bowser.
c) …Mario himself.
// taken from the
questionnaire by Mariola Sánchez, 4ºA // (7*)
KEY:
a) answers: 1 point // b) answers: 2 points
// c) answers: 3 points

END OF THE 2ND TERM
Queridos estudiantes:
No os desaniméis si las calificaciones de la 2ª evaluación no acaban de ser todo lo buenas que deberían. Queda todavía el tercer trimestre, que es el definitivo, y todo depende de vosotros más que de cualquier otra persona o circunstancia. Aunque el Inglés pueda resultarte difícil, trabaja, esfuérzate, y verás cómo terminarás adquiriendo más destrezas y conocimientos.
No olvideis que lo más importante de todo, más importante incluso de lo que sepas hacer o de lo que te propongas conseguir, es la actitud positiva hacia el aprendizaje. Por eso, debes mostrar interés, participar en clase, preguntar cuando no entiendas, ser constante con las tareas, no descuidar las técnicas de estudio (repasos, subrayados, esquemas, resúmenes), ser ordenado, cuidadoso y respetuoso siempre con todos.
Maths can help explain the same idea. See how easy it is to prove it:
