We had to listen to a song called "For the first time" and then do some exercises, which consisted of filling the gaps with the missing words/expressions and answering questions about the meaning and message of the song. I chose this specific lesson and exercise, not only because I found it very fun, but also interesting and important, since a great way to learn and improve our English is through music.]]> 2020-05-15 10:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/catarinaguerra2003/n3czamx0zj0vr5t6/wish/574767705 catarinaguerra2003 https://padlet.com/catarinaguerra2003/n3czamx0zj0vr5t6/wish/574974460 WHAT ARE ARTICLES?

If we want to be hired, we not only have to be qualified, but also make a good impression. We have to be sure there is nothing to stop us from reaching our goals, and that implies "cleaning up" our social networks, because one simple photo is enough for us to say goodbye to our dream job.]]> 2020-05-15 13:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/catarinaguerra2003/n3czamx0zj0vr5t6/wish/575094863 catarinaguerra2003 https://padlet.com/catarinaguerra2003/n3czamx0zj0vr5t6/wish/576108402 In this time of quarantine we are all very stressed and concerned about our health and the health of our loved ones. There is a lot going on in our heads, filling our brains and what we need is some relaxing moments in our day.
A very good and creative way to do this is to make origami. They not only help us to concentrate, they also end up being a good distraction and good entertainment.
I leave here an example of two origami I made, as well as a link to access a video on how to do it step by step.
