MY BIG FAT GRRRRRRREEK WEDDING

Hi class!!! I'm having a lot of fun with the movie and I hope you're enjoying it too. In last night's scene we watched Mr Portokalo's reaction to his children's initiative. I'm sure we've all experienced joy when an idea of ours was accepted and disappointment when it was rejected or not taken into account. I invite you to reflect upon the topic. You may want to share with the rest of us a recollection you have about it or may be you would like to expand on the importance of boosting people's initiative and how to do it... Write!!!!

Take a stand!!!

Hi everybody!!! Did you all enjoy the long Easter week.-end? I hope you haven't had tooooo much chocolate and you have all turned up to classes in good health this afternoon !
As you can see, I decided to make another posting after the holiday and not before! Not that I thought you would all be desperately reading the blog, of course!! But... it made me feel better to think I was letting you take a good rest.

Anyway, here's my question.
In My dream job we read: "... dreams come true if you really make them happen." However, in My big fat Greek wedding, Toula says: "... I wish I was braver, prettier or happy, but it's useless to dream because nothing ever changes."
What's your viewpoint?

A little bit about you!

Hi class!!!

We've discussed the term "self-starter". Do you consider yourself one? What kind of person are you when it comes to working, whether it is in a regular job or as a student?

It will be good to get to know a little bit more about you!

Looking forward to reading your comments!

Your teacher

I hope it's not your case!!

How do you like working with technology? Here's a video for you to watch. I love it because it somehow describes a familiar situation. I've been there!!! Have you? After watching the video, please write a comment. You are all welcome also to comment about previous postings by classmates. Enjoy!! And let's read each other... it's fun!

WELCOME!!!

Dear students, I hope you enjoy this blog and whatever we do on it. It's meant to be another chance to practice your English and establish informal communication among us. I expect eveybody to feel free to express ideas, opinios and feelings. Let's use this blog like a bridge that will join us wherever we are. I wish you all a GRRRREAT year. Liliana
