(MANUEL SEOANE: Jimena, I had a problem and I couldn´t log in to my account so I asked Hernan to post the exercise for me)
Generous: my best friend is the most generous person I've ever known. It doesn't matter who borrows her things, because she always is going to lend her staff to everyone who needs it. I can't believe how she stands seeing all the class with her things, playing with the ruler as a sword, throwing her pencils... One day a boy broke her favourite pen. Everybody (including me) thought she was going to get very furious, but, instead, she asked him to buy her a new one. What's more, she stills lends him her staff.
Imaginative: to be honest, I 'm not sure if my cousin Lucila, "Lulifer" or "Terminator" is imaginative or crazy. She's always with these strange and anormal ideas. For example, we were in my grandma's house once, and my aunt found a snail. Luli started designing a really strange home for the poor animal, imaging the snail's sons and daughter and even "his wife". He has those particular thoughts of her, like the time she thought the ringbell was going to kill her...
By Ingrid Pokropek, 2nd "I"

See you, Jimena
Hi, this is just to remind you to post two short descriptions of a person you know who is:
Two or three sentences will be enough but remember to use some of the new adjectives we've learned! Follow the instructions in the student's book, Unit 5, Write.
Sorry, I don't have the book at home so I can't tell you the exact page number but PLEASE, if any of you reads this and has the book, complete the missing information for the rest of the class.
You should post this before Friday 27th, so that I can check it and you write the final task (e-mail) for the following week.
You should HAND IN the final version (remember the template) BEFORE THURSDAY JULY 3rd.
One more thing! Have you read Taste? Don't forget we'll be discussing it on Monday so it's essential to read it at home by that date.
See you, Jimena

A person who is imaginative is an intelligent person, because he has de ability to imagine incredible things that can’t happen in the real life. They might be witty and very ingenious persons.
Denise Hile 2ºG
GENEROUS:
A person who is generous might be someone who loves the others. I imagine him/her wearing ordinary clothes and i think that he /she will be taking a big suitcase with clothes, toys, or things like that to give it to charity. It will be bubbly but not hypocrital.
IMAGINATIVE:
This person will be definetly witty. He/she will be very intelligent, and will have the capacity of thinking strange things. I think that imaginative people are, sometimes, scatty bacause they will be imaginating things at all time.
As I've already told you, this term we will be reading some short stories by Roald Dahl. The three stories are from the book Taste and other Tales.
I leave you the schedule so that you can organize yourselves for home-reading:
The objective of home-reading is to get the general idea of the story (plot), don't worry if you don't know the meaning of a word or expression, you can ask in class or look it up in a dictionary later. I leave you a very useful on-line dictionary!
Pay special attention to the main characters, you will have to describe them!
Good luck with these thrillers,
See you, Jimena

Writing Unit 3
Horse riding
Horse riding it´s an original and different sport. It´s practise in the sand or in the grass, and there are often competitions.
This sport is a good way to get on with animals (horses.) It´s sometimes recomended to sick people to open their mind and it also helps people thinking how to solve their problems. Horse riding is a good option to families who want to share something because it might be practise by everyone, since very little children to grandmother or grandfather.
However there are negative points too. It´s a dangerous aport, although you wear a helmet. You can fell down of the horse and have an injurie. Moreover it´s an expensive sport and you can only practise it in some special places.
I think it´s important to relax and don´t be scared because in that case you could produce an accident and you couldn´t enjoy this beautiful sport.

Hi, I've found this interesting post about defing and non-defining relative clauses. You may print the activities if you need some extra practice!
Good luck, Jimena
The overweight, or obesity is a terrible disease, and it is growing up. This disease consists in eating a lot, but no fruits or vegetables, instead of that, they eat very bad. When you have overweight, for example, you cannot go to a rollercoaster, because it can brings you a heart attack To protect yourself about getting this bad abbit of eating bad, you have to eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat,snacks, salt, candies,chips, etc. You also have to do sports.
Volleyball is not as popular sport as football, tennis or basketball,but it’s a very good sport too.
Volleybal is such a good sport like others, but most of the men think that it is more for women, because majorty of the volleyball championships are played by they, but it’s not like that. It makes you feel very good because ou have to run and jump a lot, so you make a lot of excecise. It is also a very team-mate sport.
But there is a negative side of volleybal. You always have to be very attentive and know where is the ball going to fall down. The most difficult thing of this great sport is the way you have to hit the ball, but, with practice, everything is obteined!. Also, when you play, you can have a lot of injuries, mostly in the legs.
To finish, i think that volleyball is one of the bests sports. It brings people togehter and its not agressive at all (the players cant hurt each other and commit faults, they are divided by a net). It is great!.
Volleyball is not as popular as football, soccer or basketball, but there are many people that watch it and sometimes play it.
It is not an agressive sport, because no one fight with other player, only the fans can fight with other fans.
The only negative point is when the players recieve a hard ball, and they can break something of their hand or other part of the body.
To conclude, i like very much this sport that can be played by men or women
To be happy, you have to participate on things you like, so you will be more intelligent and happier.
If you laugh a lot, you will be a happy and friendly person, and other people will want to be with you.
If you think positive about yourself, you will do all things good , and you will not fail in anything
A lot of people don’t do any sport or any activity. This produces that lot of people die, because the people that don’t do any activity start to get fat and fat.
If they have to do something that they need to be healthy, they can’t do it or they can die doing it.
So in conclusion, all the people have to make some sport or may be go to the gym, one day a week.
If we approve this, we can save lots of life’s and we can omit lots of dead.

A lot of people are overweight because they don´t watch what they eat. For example, you are so hungry that you eat a hamburger at 17ºº hs, or you´re so inattentive that, when you focus again on the food, you´ve already eaten three plates.
Defining and non-defining relative clauses:
Defining relative clauses
Identify, define (No commas)
Pronouns:
Who -- people
Which -- things animals
That -- people and things
If THAT is followed by a noun or pronoun, it can be omitted.
NEVER omit the pronoun if it is followed by a verb!
Non-defining relative clauses
Give extra information (Between commas)
Pronouns:
Who -- people
Which -- things animals
The pronouns can NEVER be omitted
To have a happy life you have to sleep very well, eat fruits and vegetables, also eat the four meals and be sociable with your friends and familly. Its good to smile and laugh a lot. Care yourself is important beacuse if you dont care yourself doing incredibly dangerous things, you will probably ill and sometimes can even kill you. You have to work in what you like and want because if you dont like your job, you can be bad or stessed.

I can´t find my head.
A minute after Cristina had entered the room, she knew something was wrong. The dress was in the same place she had left it, but Cristina was very supersticious and a month ago she had broken a mirror so she thought that something could happen to her new dress. Cristina was 28, she was a lawyer.
The next day Cristina woke up at 6.00 AM, she had an important meeting. She took a shower. Then she tried on the dress many times and a few minutes later she had breakfast. After that, she was ready to put the dress on, but she didn´t find it. She had tried it on so many times that she didn´t remember where had she left it. She decided to call her best friends to help her. When they arrived they started to laugh. Later, they stopped laughing and said:
“We can´t believe you are so stupid!” You are wearing the dress!
Oh, no! Cristina told them. “I can´t be so silly! And now, is too late!
Well, we can take you to the meeting if you want.
And they didn´t waste time, 5 minutes later Cristina was in the meeting with her beautiful dress on.
The end.

Friends, food and exercise, the three most important things
Have friends is very important to improve your life. To have friends you must help them and spent time with them and do all types of things you can imagine (excepted something dangerous) you make them laugh a lot because that is important to your life.
You must be so carefully whit the food because if don’t you will be weak or you can die. To eat no more than 2100 calories can prejudice you because you became fat. You must eat lots of proteins and vitamins to be sane and strong. If you do this you are on your way.
Do exercise is the most important thing. You must do exercise two times a week as minim. You can go to the gym or do exercise as a more funny form doing sport. Tennis, football, basketball, swim and golf are the best sports to practice. Yes, it’s true, doing golf help you a lot because you are all the day in contact whit the nature and who walk more 20km per game.
By Nicolas Gol
Nico: please consult me in class if you were not able to publish a new post. Have you tried with "Nueva entrada"?
DEADLINE to post your written assignment (from Unit 2, Exercise 12): May 15th
Imagine you decide to enter this competition:
I think that something important to have a happy life is practicing sports, like soccer, basketball, volleyball, or a lot more. The sports make you to have fun and it's healthy because it is an exercise and the scientist say that doing exercise is good for your body. Another reason to practise sports is that if you play in a soccer team, for example, you earn more friends, and that's very important in a person's life, have friends. But on the other hand, when people competive in a sport, they discuss and almost always it finishes wrong, we can say.
The important thing is that you don't need to discuss in a sport competition, like a soccer match, you have fun, and that's important.
HAVE A HAPPY LIFE!!
I think the clue to have a happy life is being possitive and never giving up. If you try hard, nothing is impossible. Be yourself and don't throw your dreams to the garbage if things doesn't go like you espect. Work, work, and work because some day all will be better.
You must remember youself not being lazy, it isn't easy but: the time you waste doing nothing is the time you don't spend having a happy life.
A friend is a very good person who helps you in the good and in the bad moments. If you have a problem or you are feeling sad, you can talk about it to your friend. He/She surely can help you, or maybe he/she can’t resolve your problem, but can comfort you.Talking about your problems is a very good way to improve the quality of your life.
I think that the best way to have a happy life is not having a lot of money, is not having the best car, i really think that the best way to have a happy life is to laugh a lot. You can ask me why and I think I have the answer, humor can save the world and the best way to live happy is the capasity of laughing of our selves. Because if we can laugh of our selves we can live in a best way and I think that we can change a smile, a good laugh instead of agressive modals, instead of indiference, instead of wars, instead of discrimination, because laughing is the best way to live, people who lives that way lives more time. Laugh cuts off with pain.
To have a happy life is important to be happy to sleep very well and be sociable. Friends always can give you a hand to your problemas and are importants to have a good life, imagine if you never laugh with a friend and chat with your friends that would be a bad life. Sleeping well is also a very important thing beacuse if you dont sleep well you will be tired all day long and probably you tend to be in a bad mood , and if you dont sleep well often maybe you can become ill.But you must care yourself too i mean that your fisic and your life for example, play sports, eat good food, etc.If you don't do that thigns you will probably go in a bad way. Well i think that are the most importants things to have a happy life.

Hi, this is just to remind you about our next test on Units 1 and 2 on Thursday 15th May.
Watch what and where you eat because if you go to a restaurant you don't know of where the foods came, if it's right cleaned, if it doesn't have insects, if it's old. Also you have to see what is the background of the place because if you go to a Snackbar that is dirty if you eat that food you can got an ilness so it's very important what you eat and where.
IF YOU WANT A HAPPY LIFE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A HEALTHY LIFE, FOR THAT YOU NEAD TO BE RELAX, HAVE A BALACE DIET AND DO SPORTS.You musn't get nervous, because that will make you fail in everything, you should be relaxed. For example, in a test if you get nervous or worried you will probably forget about what you have studied. It is also good to practise a sport, that is better than staying all the weekend on bed, but you also must sleep well, if you don't sleep well you are probably going to be tired all the day.
Another thing you have to do to have a better life is to eat healthy food and not to eat junk food every day. You must eat vegetables, pasta, fruits, fish and dairy products.
There are a lot of ways to improve your life style.
First you must eat healthy food like vegetables, meat. Eat chocolates or candys arenota good idea but if sometime you don´t have energy, its good to eat sugar but not in excess.
Second you have to do exercise, like running, swimming, going to the gym and if you want to really want to good exercise you have to rest eight or nine hours per day, that's a vetal part of the training.
Third, you have to watch what you it, if you are always eating candys or chocolates, another type of food that you mustn't eat is "Junk food" (hamburgers, hot dogs etc). That is not HEALTHY. 
it looks very good ah?
yeah of course, but that is one of the things you mustn't eat.
A guide to a happy life
You must leave the work to relax and enjoy the life. In this world sometimes we are so busy with work, sports and study that a simple activity can turn in an stressful action and when you are submitted every day to this kind of activities can happened that in shorts or longs periods of time can damage us a lot, especially mentally, and this can cause physical problems. Sometimes, for example the pressure is so big at work and in the house that some people have cardiac problems as arrhythmias and this can cause an earlier die. This problem comes to such a point that sometimes children like us or younger can have diseases for stress when they must be relaxed, playing and study. So the next time you are stress because of something think if it's so important that think that you slowly are putting in risk your life. To finish enjoy your life and not be worried for things that aren't as important as our life.
Taking good care of your body and having good relationships may be an advantage when trying to have a happy life. For first the body must feel good, for that you should sleep a minimum of eight ours and a maximum of ten ours. It really counts to have a good breakfast but not too much food `cause it may make you feel heavy and tired,taking a bath at least two times per day(one before going to school/work and other one at night) and doing a lot of sport wich raises your happyness very well and it makes you feel great. It is not just that, having good relationships with the society andlaughing a lot are very important for the improvement of a happy life. If you don´t laugh then a "happy life" is not as happy as expected.
Watch what you eat!
We should keep a balanced diet because often people don't eat well.
Like anorexia or bulimia, that are eating desorders caused by eating very little or nothing, or throwing up. And the other extreme, is overweight that they cannot stop eating and they don't do any exercise.
You should eat normally and balanced and do a little of exercise every day.
Some people is always nervous and don't laugh.
if you don't laugh you are always sad , tired and you don't enjoy a lot like if you laugh and smile a lot.
To laugh a lot is good to all people.
I think laughing is a good way to make ill people feel good, or to make sad to feel happy.
Make friends will help you a lot to say what you think. When you are sad or you have problems it's very good to talk and express yourself chatting, talking on the telephone or simply face to face. Friends are a good way to say what you think, and the will always help you.
Topic: exercise
A lot of people are unhappy of the way their body looks, this probably happens because most of them don’t exercise as much as they should. For example they wouldn’t go to a swimming pool, because they don’t want anyone to see their body. Sometimes this happens because people don’t have enough time to do exercise, but the truth is that they only have to do 20 minutes a day! There are fun exercises to do for example jogging or riding bicycles. You can also go to the gym or do fun sports, such as volleyball, football, tennis, etcetera.
Doing exercise is really fun, plus it helps you to be more self-confident, and live a little bit happier.
Many people don´t practise sports because they think that it isn´t very important and that they can get tired practising it. For example, some children in fisical education, don´t want to do the excercise because they think that it is a waste of time. People often preffer to stay at home instead of going to the gym because they think thay can get very tired. I recomend to practise sports because is very funny and you can keep your health.
Many people believe they can have parties at night and feel excellent in the day. They may think sleeping is a joke. It is very important to sleep well during the night. Not sleeping and doing it at different times can have lots of consequences in your body and your mood. One every 3 people have problems to sleep. We all spend a third of our life in bed. So remember next time you wanna close your eyes at one a.m. that if you keep that way you may finish with insomnia or something worst than that.
Topic: Sports
I think that havingf riends is very importanat, because friends are all do you need to have for have a good time. They are in all of yours situation, sad or happy, is importantto have someone who understands you. Also having friends is funny and beautifull, because with them, you can play a lot laugh. My opinion are that if you have friends you are going to bre happy.
