House in Wickersley

Dear Martin and classmates.
I have found this wonderful house in Wickersley, thirty minutes away from Sheffield center.
I like it very much because I think it is a light and roomy house, placed in a tranquil neighborhood in the ourtskirts of Rotherham.
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.
I hope you all like it

Some Drama

More about the BBC: There is an amusing podcast you can download weekly here:

 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

Tues 8/1/13

Today, Alvaro gave us a presentation on Global Warming, and I put up a sign-up sheet for everyone to choose a date to do theirs.
We also watched a video on Vanessa Mae, the violinist, and Jose has kindly posted a video of her performing.

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.

A completely useless post

I'm sorry, Martin: you asked for something useful and I will post something completely useless. It's just a riddle that someone told me recently. Here it goes:
