About Love.

by Roberto, 11º CT4

I could never write and express myself about love. Do all those cute and intelligent descriptions that seem so easy to say when actually they aren´t because they always need a good dose of inspiration and above all a good dose of life experience sometimes only poets (but not any poet) can describe, define and feel what love really is because in my opinion not everyone can feel and most importantly enjoy what love gives us.

Love will never equate to death because love is life; love makes us feel alive and happy. I usually say that love is like a beginning with no end unless we don´t want to. Although we can talk about love – it´s not easy but it is possible- it cannot speak for itself. Love is similar to a song because both don´t have a language, they have a soul.

Love is creation not destruction. If love kills, that´s because it wasn´t love of course! It was something ugly, nasty…

Love doesn´t match with dependence in the same way that respect is not similar to obedience. They are very different things and make for different reactions. We belong to anyone. We are together and in touch but we´re n property of other people – everyone calls it freedom!

Love can lead to several consequences: some are good, others are cruel. You can be happy with love but when it becomes a drug and you´re addicted it may end your life physically and socially. Love that ends with your life and makes of you an addict is not true love because this kind of love is immortal. Love is not part of our bodies. It belongs to our soul.

YOU, by RODRIGO OLIVEIRA

When I look at the stars
I see your eyes
You don't know one thing
You are everything


When you say "hello"
I don't know what to say
You are my muse
Please don't go away


I wish you were here
To stay together
You and me
You and me forever

At night in my room
You're still in my head
It's so very true
Oh Baby I love you

I don't know what you want
I don't know what you feel
Dear I love you so
Do you love me?

I wish you were here
To stay together
You and me
You and me forever

The English language needs and priorities of young adults in Europe: a survey

Please take some time to answer this survey, ok?
Thank you!

The English language needs and priorities of young adults in Europe: a survey

What are the English language needs and priorities of young adults in Europe? What kinds of English do 18-24 year olds want to speak, and why? Has the development of new technologies and online communication affected the ways in which young adults use English, and if so, how? And what might this mean for English language teaching and learning?

Northumbria University and King's College London (both UK), in conjunction with the British Council, are surveying young adult English language learners views about the English they need and want to speak and use, and the implications of this for English language teaching.

This survey asks you about how and why you, a young adult in Europe, learn and use English, the kinds of English you want to speak, and what this might mean for English language teaching. In this survey, the term 'young adult' refers to 18-24 year olds.

Participation in this survey is open to all English language learners aged between 18-24, and is voluntary. Your answers are confidential - no individual’s answers can be identified – and the survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.

The survey is available online at:

Let's talk about poverty...

Just answer me this:

would you be able to live like this?

Aren't I a lucky teacher? =))) This is a text by Teresa Castro, 11º CT4

One day at school, your teacher comes into the classroom places a box on the floor, and leaves the room. Suddenly the box begins to move. Write a story about what happens next.

When I saw the box moving I froze. All the classroom stopped. We were wondering what was going on.

Suddenly, Rita that was very curious got up and went to see what was in the box.

When she opened the box , a monster jumped out. All girls screamed at the same time and the boys didn´t react.

The monster was big, green, with four eyes and two mouths.

I was terrified, I had never seen something like that. We were wondering what the monster wanted.

So, Roberto and Irina had na idea. They decided to talk to him, to try to understand what the monster wanted.

In the beginning the monster didn´t answer but some minutes later he talked. He said that he wanted to eat all of us, starting with all boys with a beard. I never saw Zé and Bessa so worried.

The monster was almost catching Zé when teacher Carla, comes into the classroom and killed the monster with a paperclip.

Now that the danger is gone, I realize that maybe teacher Carla wanted to teach us a lesson, and probably the lesson is " be careful with your choises". Well if that was the intention, the lesson is learnt
