On the floor of the gym there are mats so you can't hurt yourself if you fall down.]]> 2017-04-25 14:49:57 UTC https://padlet.com/iescallisenglish/ysjconual21x/wish/168127416 iescallisenglish https://padlet.com/iescallisenglish/ysjconual21x/wish/168556577 A thing that shocked me when I was in Sweden was that they don't use tableclothes or napkins when they eat. This photo is from the 31st of march and as you can see the table was ready for dinner, but there wasn't any tablecloth or any napkins. I suppose that is because their tables are always clean and they are tidy people, so they don't need them.]]> 2017-04-27 07:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/iescallisenglish/ysjconual21x/wish/168556577 iescallisenglish https://padlet.com/iescallisenglish/ysjconual21x/wish/169473630  All the people from Catalonia that went to Sweden were sure that this country was very different compared to ours. I chose this photo because I think it’s the best one to explain and describe Swedish landscapes: no people, no buildings and everything seems to be cold. When we did the Orienteering activity on Monday and when we went to a trip to a Swedish beach (where I took the photo) were the best places to think about their landscapes and nature. As I said, there was nobody and no human steps. There were only two things I can say about the relationship between people and nature in Sweden: respect and enjoy, anything more. So, this loneliness is perfectly visible in this picture. I hope you liked it and think about it. ]]> 2017-05-02 16:17:53 UTC https://padlet.com/iescallisenglish/ysjconual21x/wish/169473630 iescallisenglish https://padlet.com/iescallisenglish/ysjconual21x/wish/169475246 Most of the differences from our both cultures I knew them before going there. But also I learnt there about other differences between Sweden and Spain. 
 One of the differences that I saw there was that the English programmes are broadcasted in the original language and are subtitled in Swedish. I  saw it when we turned on the TV to put a film. I asked to my partner why in Sweden most of the TV programmes are emitted in English, not in Swedish. She said that is because in the last years the English has got a big impact in the Swedish society.]]> 2017-05-02 16:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/iescallisenglish/ysjconual21x/wish/169475246 iescallisenglish https://padlet.com/iescallisenglish/ysjconual21x/wish/169507967 One of the things that has most shocked to me about Sweden is the fact that they never use napkins. Really, they never use it. In the house where I was staying it was a normal thing not to have it. People learned to eat without having to need their napkins, I mean they never had to use it because they eat so politely. Also in the school there weren't napkins for anyone, for the little children either. In Spain there are always napkins on the table, if you haven't got them it is seen like a very impolitely thing.]]> 2017-05-02 18:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/iescallisenglish/ysjconual21x/wish/169507967 lcp1111laura https://padlet.com/iescallisenglish/ysjconual21x/wish/171796995 The first thing that shocked me the most were the meal timetables. There's so much difference between theirs and ours. When they are having lunch, I'm having breackfast and it's crazy. But the craziest thing was that, at the end of the week at eleven o'clock in the morning I was hungry and ready to have my lunch. I could apreciate that changes are not that extreme sometimes, they are just things we do normally everyday and we don't think about it, we just do it, and this way you just get used to it.

When was lunch time at school I could choose between water or milk to drink. ]]> 2017-05-15 11:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/iescallisenglish/ysjconual21x/wish/171799012 iescallisenglish https://padlet.com/iescallisenglish/ysjconual21x/wish/171851437 2017-05-15 14:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/iescallisenglish/ysjconual21x/wish/171851437
