Dear Students,
How are you?. I hope you’re fine. I’m writing to you because I‘d like to welcome you to my blog. I hope you like it and take an active part in it with your comments, suggestions, readings and writings and giving me ideas to make this blog a nice place to meet each other and where you can improve your English.
First of all I’d like you to know me better. As you already know my name is Carolina and I’m an English teacher. I love my job because I can learn everyday from each of my students. I’m from Gran Canaria. I have two elder sisters. Their names are Fabiola and María del Mar. My sister Fabiola lives in Tenerife and my sister María lives in Las Palmas where my mum, whose name is Asunción , but everybody calls her Chona also lives. My mother was born in La Oliva, Fuerteventura but she has lived in Gran Canaria for many years. My age is a secret but I have enjoyed every single day in my life.
I’m going to tell you about myself. As you can see from the photo, I have short dark hair and brown eyes. I have a round face and my nose is small. I think I have a bit wide mouth with thin lips. I don’t wear glasses in the photo but I need them to read and drive. I’m medium height and slim.
I think I’m a positive person. I’m extrovert and friendly. I’m quite talkative but I’m a good listener too. I like to think that I’m pretty and elegant but I’m just ordinary-looking.
In my free time I love travelling and reading. But I don’t have much free time, just on holidays, because at week ends I like sitting at home reading and preparing my lessons and thinking about how make this blog nice and exciting to you.
Please write to me soon and tell me about you and your life.
Best wishes,
Carolina.
I have got this email from Norah talking about the snow in London
Hi Carolina,
From LSSE the summer is coming but you would not believe it we had the worstsnow here in Central London for nearly 20 years, Steve the marketing managersaid he remembered this snow when the school first opened, but he is an oldguy!!!
Everyone who wrote in commenting on the last mail enjoyed the paragraph formKavita, she is our Director of Studies so it is a good idea to stay on hergood side as she marks your tests!!!
Kavita has written another paragraph bypopular demand, I am going to ask her, if she has time, to write one everyweek it is great to get an idea of what life is like in our school.
Kavita's diaryOn Monday 2nd February 2009
London was covered in a thick, white, blanket ofsnow. The bus and underground services had stopped due to health and safetyregulations. Even the trains were affected. We are not used to dealing withsnow!! Everyone had difficulty coming to school and when I arrived therewere only 4 Italian students. They felt very proud of themselves and so wejoked about this for a while. "Italians are the best students!!" they cheered, and we all laughed. Later the other students started to arrive. We had a fun lesson because theschool was so small and there were only 20 students. Then one studentsuggested a snowball fight. I agreed and joked "It is the only time you can hit me J and vice versa!" Everyone laughed but no one went out to play. It was too cold!!!!! J If you have any questions for Kavita, please email me first so I can get them answered for you. I am available on norah@lsse.ac.uk.
