Today we heard an interesting presentation by Lara on pets. We then went through the grammar h/w to clear up queries, and looked at the houses different people had chosen in the Sheffield area (mostly!).
Finally we listened to a podcast of people talking about opinions.

Housewarming party invitation
Please, join us for a housewarming party in our
new house!
The house is a fantastic very bright four bedroom detached house.
We have place in case you prefer to stay
The party will take place in the rear terraced area, open to the
landscaped private garden with lawn and borders.MY NEW HOME
Dear Martin and classmates:
I have chosen this detached house, which is located 4 miles south west of Sheffield and about 12 minutes drive.
It´s a huge property with six spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, reception hall, kitchen, dining room and a sunny sitting-room. Moreover, the garage is an attached double one.
The front of the house faces north and the back of the house looks out over a shady garden.
I´m having problems to upload the photos so, you have to click in the following link:

I got it!
This blog is starting to look like a property website!
And this is my selection. Finally I found a beautiful house, with wonderful views, a conservatory and an indoor pool!
It seems a little far away from the city (and everywhere), but in any case I would have to see it. I do not take any decision only because of the web.
Meanwhile, this is my English house:
Do you like it?

Cheap house with superb views
Hello Martin and classmates,
I have found this quaint house and I want to share it with you. It is a huge five bedroom detached house located in Oughtibridge. I think it is a roomy and sunny house in a peaceful location. The backgarden looks out onto open countryside and I find it wonderful. Maybe we can afford to build a conservatory in the back with the money we save buying this house. It is a deal!
It seems pretty far from the center but in the ad says that we have regular public transport a short distance away. It is also mentioned that there is an abundance of amenities close by. I am not sure about that and we should check it before we decide.

My New British House!
Dear Martin and everybody!!
I’ve found a nice house in Bradway, in the southwest of Sheffield, just one mile from the city centre, near the Peak District National Park, with local amenities including renowned schooling, local sports clubs, supermarkets and ring road. The railway station in just 0.3 miles.
I like it because it’s light and roomy. It has six bedrooms, four bathrooms, a huge breakfast kitchen and a beautiful garden room with excellent natural light. Moreover it has an ample parking and double garage.
But one of the best places for me is the garden. It has a large corner plot, 1420 sq. yards, with appealing views.
I hope that you come to visit me and you can taste the products from my orchard.

Awe-inspiring !
Hello Martin and classmates,
This is the property we are going to acquire, unless Martin forgets to bring the money:
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-37433459.html?showcase=true&premiumA=true
It is a beautiful four-storey five-room detached house located in Sheffield, just two miles away from the city center. It has five bathrooms, which can be a bit of a nuisance in regard to cleaning. Three of them are en-suite.
What I like the most is the roomy open plan with access to the outside, which can be used as work premises. There is also a luxury bright airy breakfasting kitchen.
Finally, I'd like to highlight the double garage with automatic door, the large split level decking patio area and the rear enclosed landscaped garden.
By the way, half a million won't reach enough. We need 50.000 more, though we might negociate.

It has 4 wonderful big rooms and a huge kitchen.
Moreover it has a double detached garage and a big-enough garden with a barbecue site in the corner. A wonderful place where we can celebrate the end of the course.

Some Drama
More about the BBC: There is an amusing podcast you can download weekly here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/ptw
It is called "Drama of the week". It usually extends for about 45 minutes and it's really well performed and recorded. Unfortunately it's not always easy to understand.

We went through a particularly good example of a well-structured, well-linked essay written by a member of the group.
Then we discussed our impressions regarding photos of workplaces and looked at some adjectives to describe rooms

Vanessa Mae - Storm
I enjoyed today discovering stuff about Vanessa Mae, who I've been following for many years. She become very famous for adapting classical music and taking the violin into a 'Techno' style. The piece 'Storm' is inspired by Vivaldi's Summer from 'The Four Seasons'. It was first released in 1997. I think she was 16 at the time.
You can watch her performance below.
