<span style="color: #351c75;">One of the students who went on this fantastic trip (<b>Guadalupe Martín Pino, </b>from <b>ESO 3B</b>), has written a beautiful diary about our wonderful experience there, and I want to share it with you. Thanks a lot, Guadalupe!</span><br />

bit early!) and got on the bus that would take us to <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Malaga airport. There, we had to queue (a very
British thing!) and wait a lot, but finally we got on the plane and it took off
at 11:15. The flight was quiet; it was the first one for a lot of people, and
also the first trip out of Spain, and they were very excited.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #636363; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: ES;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

station to get on the train to Exeter (a quite big city near Exmouth), and we
had our lunch on the train. When we arrived at Exeter we visited a very
interesting museum and Rougemont castle (built by William the Conqueror) along
with its beautiful gardens. Then we had a bit of free time for ourselves, which
we used for going shopping. We met at a beautiful Christmas marked in front of
Exeter’s cathedral and went back to Exmouth.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #636363; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: ES;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

seeing an episode (in which the Simpsons went to England on vacation), you had
to answer a lot of questions. The last one was about asking questions to the
people on the street, and then trying to answer them ourselves. I really liked
the last one: I love going out to the street and asking random people questions
to see what they think about any subject.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #636363; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: ES;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

was too soon for a lot of people, who, I’m sure, would have loved to keep
dancing all night.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #636363; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: ES;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

kind host families and we were all together waiting for the bus, which first
took us to breath-taking Stonehenge and, after 5 hours, left us at the doors of
our hotel in London. It was called Ibis, and we didn’t like it very much; the
bathroom was really tiny for three people, and even for one person, I would
dare to say. Anyway, that’s how cheap hotels are.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #636363; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: ES;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

it was already a bit dark, we walked through the streets of magic London and
got on a boat that led us on a little tour through the Thames river. From
there, we saw the London Eye, the Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and a lot
more. It was all illuminated and really beautiful.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #636363; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: ES;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Finally, we went back to our hotel in the underground to sleep.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

PAPER! SCISSORS! A TRADITIONAL GAME<span style="color: #134f5c;">Rock Paper Scissors is one of the world's oldest and most popular games. Children love this game, but so do adults. There are Rock Paper Scissor tournaments in many countries such as the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan and China. In the United Kingdom there is the Team Olimpik Rock Paper Scissors Championship. It takes place at the Knights Templar pub in Westminster, London. </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">THE RULES</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">How do you play Rock Paper Scissors? It is a simple game. Two contestants make one of three hand gestures. Rock is a fist; scissors is a fist with the index and middle finger extended into a "V"; and paper is a flat, open palm. </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"> The players count aloud to three or say the name of the game: Rock! Paper! Scissors!. On each count, the players raise their fists and then swing them down. On the third count, the players extend their hands towards their opponent and "throw" one of the three gestures.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">Each gesture defeats one of the others. The rock breaks the scissors; the scissors cut the paper; the paper covers and defeats the rock. If the players throw the same gesture, it is a draw. The players repeat the game.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">THE CHINESE CONNECTION</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"> The game originated in China. It was first played in the time of the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD). The game arrived in Japan during the 18th century. It wasn´t until the 20th century that it became popular in Europe and all over the world.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">LEGAL VALUE</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"> Rock Paper Scissors is often used to make choices. It is similar to tossing a coin. US federal judge Gregory Presnell used the game to resolve a legal dispute over the location of a deposition. The winner of the game chose the location.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">VARIATIONS</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">There are different versions of the game. Rock is often substituted by Stone, though the gesture remains the same.</span> <br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"> (from "Speak Up" Magazine, n.336)</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">Have you ever played Rock Paper Scissors? When? What for?</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">Do you know other popular games? What are their rules? Do you know when they originated?</span><br />

From time to time people have wondered why reading is important.
There seems so many other things to do with one's time. Reading is
important for a variety of reasons. We will look at some of those
fundamental reasons below, but it is important to realize that
struggling with vital reading skills in not a sign a low
intelligence. For example, John Corcoran, who wrote <a href="http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/click?lid=41000000026789406" onclick="return FIX.track(this);">The
Teacher Who Couldn't Read</a>, is a very intelligent man. He
graduated from High School and College, became a popular High School
teacher and later a successful business man all without being able to
read. Many highly intelligent people have struggled with reading
although, when properly taught, most people can learn to read easily
and quickly.
<br />
<br />
Now, if a man like John Corcoran can succeed without reading, why
is reading important? A person should really read Mr. Corcoran's
story to get the feeling of shame, loneliness and fear that he
experienced before he learned to read. He was able to succeed in
spite of this major handicap because he was a man of intelligence,
ability and determination. But, make no mistake, it was a handicap
that made life harder and less enjoyable. [Those that are interested
in helping children learn to read may consider a degree from
<a href="http://onlineprograms.cune.edu/%20" onclick="return FIX.track(this);" target="_blank">Concordia
University online</a>.]
<br />
<br />
<h2 class="western">
Why Is Reading Important?</h2>
<br />
1. Reading is fundamental to function in today's society. There
are many adults who cannot read well enough to understand the
instructions on a medicine bottle. That is a scary thought -
especially for their children. Filling out applications becomes
impossible without help. Reading road or warning signs is difficult.
Even following a map becomes a chore. Day-to-day activities that many
people take for granted become a source of frustration, anger and
fear.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="IL_AD10"></a>2. Reading is a vital skill in finding a
good job. Many well-paying jobs require reading as a part of job
performance. There are reports and memos which must be read and
responded to. Poor reading skills increases the amount of time it
takes to absorb and react in the workplace. A person is limited in
what they can accomplish without good reading and comprehension
skills.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="IL_AD7"></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="IL_AD6"></a>3. Reading is important
because it <a href="http://www.learn-to-read-prince-george.com/retraining-the-brain.html">develops
the mind</a>. The mind is a muscle. It needs exercise. Understanding
the written word is one way the mind grows in its ability. Teaching
young children to read helps them develop their language skills. It
also helps them learn to listen. Everybody wants to talk, but few can
really listen. Lack of listening skills can result in major
misunderstandings which can lead to job loss, marriage breakup, and
other disasters - small and great. Reading helps children [and
adults] focus on what someone else is communicating.<br />
<br />
4. Why is reading important? It is how we <a href="http://www.learn-to-read-prince-george.com/joy-of-learning.html">discover
new things</a>. Books, magazines and even the Internet are great
learning tools which require the ability to read and understand what
is read. A person who knows how to read can educate themselves in any
area of life they are interested in. We live in an age where we
overflow with information, but reading is the main way to take
advantage of it.<br />
<br />
5. <a href="http://www.learn-to-read-prince-george.com/thinking.html">Reading
develops the imagination.</a> TV and computer games have their place,
but they are more like amusement. Amusement comes from two words "a"
[non] and "muse" [think]. Amusement is non-thinking
activities. With reading, a person can go anywhere in the world...or
even out of it! They can be a king, or an adventurer, or a princess,
or... The possibilities are endless. Non-readers never experience
these joys to the same extent.<br />
<br />
6. In line with the above, reading develops the creative side of
people. When reading to children, stop every once in awhile and ask
them what they think is going to happen next. Get them thinking about
the story. When it is finished, ask if they could think of a better
ending or anything that would have improved it. If they really liked
the story, encourage them to illustrate it with their own drawings or
to make up a different story with the same characters. Get the
creative juices flowing!<br />
<br />
7. Reading is fundamental in developing a good self image.
Nonreaders or poor readers often have low opinions of themselves and
their abilities. Many times they feel as if the world is against
them. They feel isolated [everybody else can read - which isn't true]
and behavior problems can surface. They can perform poorly in other
subjects because they cannot read and understand the material and so
tend to "give up."<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="IL_AD4"></a>8. Why is reading important? Let's keep
going... Good reading skills, especially in a <a href="http://www.learn-to-read-prince-george.com/phonics.html">phonics
reading program</a>, improve spelling. As students learn to sound out
letters and words, spelling comes easier. Also, reading helps to
expand the vocabulary. Reading new words puts them in their mind for
later use. Seeing how words are used in different contexts can give a
better understanding of the word usage and definitions than the cold
facts of a dictionary.<br />
<br />
9. There is an old saying, "The pen is mightier than the
sword." Ideas written down have changed the destiny of men and
nations for better or worse. The flow of ideas cannot be stopped. We
need to read and research to build on the good ideas and expose the
bad ideas before they bring destruction. Only by reading can we be
armed in this never-ending, life-and-death struggle.
<br />
<br />
10. The fact of the power of written ideas communicated through
reading is a foundational reason why some governments oppose free and
honest communication. Illiterate people are easier to control and
manipulate. They cannot do their own research and thinking. They must
rely on what they are told and how their emotions are swayed. There
is a good possibility that this is one of the main reasons phonics
was removed from the schools about 100 years ago.<br />
<br />
11. Finally, why is reading important? <a href="http://www.learn-to-read-prince-george.com/importance-of-reading.html">Reading
is important</a> because words - spoken and written - are the
building blocks of life. You are, right now, the result of words that
you have heard or read AND believed about yourself. What you become
in the future will depend on the words you believe about yourself
now. People, families, relationships, and even nations are built from
words. Think about it.<br />
<br />
According to Jonathan Kozol in "Illiterate America,"
quoted in "The Teacher Who Couldn't Read,'" the three main
reasons people give for wanting to read are:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="IL_AD1"></a>1. To read the Bible,<br />
2. To read books and
newspapers, and<br />
3. To help their children.<br />
<br />
I think everyone can conclude that reading is a vital skill!

<span style="color: #073763;">As Cupids fire their arrows and couples celebrate Valentine´s Day today, I have dedicated this entry to love... Look at the following phrases I found in a magazine:</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red;">"When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain." Mark Twain</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">"The greatest thing you´ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." Eden Ahbez</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">"Don´t wait for the one you can live with, wait for the one you can´t live without. "</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">"No cord of cable can draw so forcibly of bind so fast, as love can do with a single thread." Robert Burton</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">"A man loses his sense of direction after four drinks; a woman loses hers after four kisses." H.L. Mencken</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I want you to send me some more more romantic sentences (they can be popular or you can make them up). You can also tell me what you think about Saint Valentine´s Day. Do you enjoy it or do you think it´s just a commercial invention? Have you ever fallen in love? Are you in love now?</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I´m looking forward to your comments!!!!</span><br />
