Junior TIE exam and shopping

-

Hello!!

This last Saturday we had the Junior TIE exam, we were very nervous but also very prepared. Our bus driver gave us a card to wish us good luck in the exam, a very kind from him and we were very happy to receive it.


                     

The exam was structured in two parts: one for writing and the other for speaking. The exam questions were about a reading book, our daily life here in Ireland, a film we chose, one of the two traditional stories we worked on (one Irish and the other Spanish) or about a news story.



All of us were really happy of how was the exam, and with the answers we gave to the examiners. We really noticed the improvement we did on the past weeks, so we could answer the questions with enough confidence and with a good level of english.





Once we finished the exam we were relaxed and excited because we were going shopping. We went to Grafton street which is one of the liveliest streets in the city and is very popular among Dubliners because of its shops. Once there we bought some gifts and souvenirs to remember this experience apart from memories, that we have lots of them!

Outing to the zoo

Hello, hello The joys of Saturday are back!  This past Saturday we enjoyed, like every Saturday, the English class together, and we learned even more. So, as we were going to the zoo, the topic of the class was "animals", and we learnt vocabulary that we didn't know before, some of the words being very useful for that day. After that, we went to the zoo, where we met Loreto, who knows the zoo very well and was able to give us a guided tour all around the zoo park.  We saw many different types of animals: giraffes, monkeys, organgutans, lions, turtles, wolves, etc. We had a lot of fun and also took a lot of pictures. We also had a competition: we had to form groups of 4 and take funny pictures of different animals; one of the biggest animals, another one of a mammal, one of an aquatic animal, and one more of a flying animal.  We all managed to finish, even though we couldn't see elephants and had to look for another big animal instead. At the end of it all, as a reward

We are back! Second Saturday here and we are almost fully envolved into the Irish routine and culture! We were picked up by bus, but this time the first stop it was at the church in Merrion, where we've been able to confess with a priest that is able to speak Spanish so that helped us to have a good confession. Afterwards we went to Outlands College where we joined Audrey and taking advantage of the good weather, we did an outdoor activity all together. Later we went into the classroom to do English lessons but this time at the end of the class and afterlunch we celebrate Txell's and Ari's birthdays and Ivet's saint's day with two birthday cakes and some sweets to share up with all de group.  One all the celebration was finshed and the bus arrived to collect us, we went off to Dublin where we enjoyed a guided tour arround the centre of Dublin. Our leader was Guille who has been in Ireland amounts of times and she did know the city very well and the best places to sh

We met another Saturday lucky to have a very good weather and the enthusiasm to tell everything we had done during the week and the little anecdotes lived all along these days. This week was our turn to make, our 1st stop at the church in Merrion Church so that anyone and those who wanted could go to confession... in Spanish, phew!!! We are learning a lot... But not ready to do that in English, yet! and  Later , we went to Outlands College for our English class: time flew!!! because Audrey is  our teacher and she makes the classes very dynamic .  After the class, we took the bus all the way to Phoenix Park, we took our bikes there ready for a ride. It was a real adventure using the gears on the bikes!!! , some of us needed to be reminded on how to ride, since it had been a while since we last rode a bike!!! But after a few minutes we were all riding and exploring every path in the park. We were able to see many things in Phoenix Park:  the American embassy, the papal cross, a prehistor
