NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

So close, no matter how 1………..
Couldn´t be much more from the 2………..
Forever 3……….. who we are
Cause nothing else matters

Never 4……….. myself this way
Life is 5……….., we live it our way
All these words I just don´t 6………..
Cause nothing else matters

And never cared for what they 7……….. . No
And never cared for what they 8……….. . No
But I know

So close, no matter how 9………..
Couldn´t be much more from the 10………..
Forever 11……….. who we are
Cause nothing else matters

And never cared for what they 12……….. . No
And never cared for what they 13……….. . No
And never cared for what they 14……….. . No
But I know

Trust I 15……….. and I find in you
Every day for us something 16………..
Open 17……….. for a different view
Cause nothing else matters

So close, no matter how 18………..
It couldn´t be much more from the 19………..
Forever 20……….. who we are
Cause nothing else matters
Cause nothing else matters

Grease Video

Last year my second year students decided to prepare a musical as an extracurricular activity. The idea was that based on the famous 70s hit they would prepare a show consisting of a link between the different songs and different narrators telling how the story was progressing. The result can be seen in the video below.

Let's meet in EIRE

Introduction
Our class is going on a trip to Ireland. We need to find out a lot about the country before we can leave. Your job is to follow the steps of the Web Quest to find out all that we need to know before we go.

We are going to spend a week in Ireland. You and your partner should discuss the following:

Basic information (currency, etc)
When to go.
How to get around.
Places to visit: How long?
Things to see and do in each place.
Reasons
Where to stay.
Where to eat.

La importancia de saber idiomas

¿Quién le iba a decir a un joven químico recien licenciado que el conocimiento de un idioma le iba a cambiar su vida?
Pues esto me pasó a mi, que tras licenciarme en Ciencias Químicas y casarme, inicié junto a mi joven esposa la aventura de aprender inglés en Irlanda e Inglaterra y cual sería el resultado de una aventura que duró algo más de dos años que tras el regreso a España nuestra vida profesional dió un giro de 180 grados al dedicarnos a enseñar la lengua de Shakespeare. Desde entonces vivimos de esto y nos ha llenado de satisfacción a la vez que nos ha permitido conocer a multitud de personas de todo el mundo con las que nos hemos comunicado en inglés.
Hablar otros idiomas te permite acceder a otras culturas y así enriquecerte personalmente y abrirte la mente a otras formas de ver y entender la vida distintas de las que conocías al criarte en un lugar determinado.
