Lluvia en Sevilla

            La lluvia cancela las procesiones pero no apaga el fervor popular

El mal tiempo dejó ayer sin procesiones a los sevillanos y hoy tampoco están teniendo suerte. En Logroño interrumpía también el recorrido por sus calles del Vía Crucis de la Flagelación de Jesús. En cambio en Tobarra, Albacete, comienza su tamborada, una fiesta de Interés Turístico Nacional que empieza hoy y terminan a las doce de la noche del Domingo de Resurrección.

Traffic jams

Hi students,
Traffic jams are becoming more and more common nowadays. 
Is there an easy solution to this problem?
Let´s read about it:

Global traffic jam

What is the solution to the global traffic jam?

This year the BBC is looking into the future, in key areas of science, politics, education and our personal life in a series called What If? As part of this, 6 Minute English looks at the question: 'What if everyone had a car?'

There are already a billion cars in the world but what would be the consequences if there were even more vehicles on the road? Rob and Jennifer discuss what might happen and they talk about some designs for cars of the future.

We'll be hearing some driving-related words and phrases along the way.

This week's question:

In 2010, one of the world's longest jams occurred in Beijing in China. How long was it?

a) 50 kilometres

b) 100 kilometres

c) 200 kilometres

Listen to the programme to find out the answer.

Cónclaves y papas

El 14 de marzo el mundo amaneció con un nuevo papa, Francisco.
Algunos días antes TVE hizo un reportaje en el que nos presentaron
los procedimientos y unos detalles históricos interesantes de los cónclaves

O blog esportivo "Canchallena", do jornal argentino "La Nación" deu destaque para as postagens de charges dos usuários do Twitter, que comemoraram a eleição do papa Francisco. A charge acima é do cartunista argentino Lucho Luna

Vamos a ver el vídeo y hacer los ejercicios en este link:

Envíenme las respuestas por e-mail.

Hasta luego,

Cut the mustard?

It's a sad day for Feifei as she just lost a cooking contest, and Finn tries to cheer her up by saying that sometimes we've got to accept that we just can't cut the mustard. Did Feifei miss out an ingredient?

Let´s listen the audio in this link:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/language/theenglishwespeak/2013/03/130319_tews_115_cut_the_mustard.shtml

I was not very good at math, I just couldn´t cut the mustard. On the other hand I was very good at English, that´s why I´m an English teacher nowadays!

 What about you? Tell me about something you are not very good at, using the new expression you have just learned.
