Goodbye!!!!

Let it be!

Hello everybody!

This is not the first time that I post in this blog but I'm going to introduce myself anyway. I'm Yoli (Yolanda) and I'm 13. I'm studying in the bilingual program of the Laguna de Joatzel HS in 2ºA. I like very much the program becuase I love learning and speaking languages and I think this way to learn English is fantastic! ;-)

I also like listening to music, going out with my friends, surfing the internet, playing video games... But one thing that I love doing is playing the piano. I've played the piano since I was 9 years old. This is my fourth year playing the piano. Now I'm learning to play a ballet called Sheherazade by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and also the Nocturno number 14 by Fryderyk Chopin, they're quite beautiful. Now I'm going to show you a video of myself playing a very easy song that I learnt before going to piano classes. It is called Let it be by The Beatles. I'm only going to play the first part in order not to bore you. I post particularly this song because it has a lyric and I'm going to sing it as well, its lyric is written below

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

And in my hour of darkness, She is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, Let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people, Living in the world agree

There will be an answer, let it be.

For though they may be parted, There is still a chance that they may see

There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.

Yeah! There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

(I have sung till here, in order not to bore you)

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the night is cloudy, There is still a light that shines on me,

Shine on till tomorrow, let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

About me (Mr Gutiérrez)

Hi everyone!

This is my first time posting a message to this blog so I'll introduce myself. I am Mr. Gutiérrez aka Javier at the English Department. I am the crazy teacher on the Vespa you see every morning. I teach 1ºB Literacy and 2ºB Literacy, too. My other classes are 4ºESO C and 1º Bach B. I must say I am lucky I don't have many students this year.

I love teaching languages and learning them as well. I think English classes are lots of fun and I hope my students enjoy what we do.

My hobbies are traveling abroad (when I can afford it!), good music, good books and hanging out with my friends. Oh I forgot. I love Macs! I collect old computers. One of my oldest computers was made in 1985.

That's all I can say for now. See you around!

Hello guys!

The holidays have flown away and we have to return to the HS again an do homework, prepare exams, make up our own playscripts etc...

I think that this year is going to be as good as the last year or even better and we are are going to enjoy ourshelves everyday especially those who are in their second year.

Bye, bye blog adicts!!

Hello I'm Yoli again and I am going to show you a little video about magic. Well, it really is science.

(Its explenation is that the container is filled with a gas denser than the air, so a light object can 'float' in it. With a glass you can take the gas and throw it into the light object.)

My worst holidays

Hello, I'm Yoli!!

I've seen that nobody have written in our blog, but it probably means that you've been enjoying your holidays. But this is not my case... I would want to tell you now my wonderful adventures and funny things that I have done on holidays, but I cannot because I've got nothing to tell you.

At the beginnig I went to a village, in Ávila, for a weeks, but those days I was taking care of my little cousins, doing homeworks... no so many funny things. Then I returned to Getafe and my family and me were prepearing our house for having reforms. We had to buy all that this reform needed. The reform began and there are still things without finish. So, as I had nothing to do, I have been almost all summer doing homework.

So I can say that these are my worst summer holidays of my life. But after all some must be the worst.

I hope your holidays have been better than mine.

Kisses, and see you... soon!

Yoli

My new cousin!!!!!

Look he's my new cousin. He's name is Jorge like my uncle. one thing do you know that my cousin was born the same day as me? Yes!!!!!!!

Well I'm very happy!!!! He cries a lot, also all the night and my aunt and my oncle can't sleep...

I hope you enjoyed with this.

Kisses Maria

ALLEN

IVERSON

Allen Ezail Iverson (born June 7, 1975, in Hampton, Virginia), nicknamed A.I. and The Answer, is an American professional basketball player for the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association. An 11-year veteran at the age of 31, he is considered to be one of the most prolific and consistent scorers in the history of the game (his career average of 28.0 points per contest is third all-time behind only Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain).

Before the NBA
As a junior, Iverson quarterbacked Bethel High School's football team to the state championship, which they won. At 17, Iverson was convicted on a felony charge of "maiming-by-mob" and drew a 15-year prison sentence, but with 10 years suspended. He spent four months at the Newport News City Farm before Virginia Governor Douglas Wilder granted him a pardon.

76ers years from 1996-2006
After two seasons at Georgetown, Allen Iverson was the first player picked in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers. Iverson quickly established himself as one of the premier point guards in the NBA. He also gained a reputation as fun to watch and promptly filled the Sixers arena. He was named Rookie of the Year and was a member of the NBA All-Rookie First Team.
Iverson led the Sixers with 23.5 points (sixth in the NBA), 7.5 assists (10th) and 2.07 steals (seventh) and 40.1 minutes per game.
Despite his play on the court, Iverson often experienced difficulty handling the media and pressure of his new celebrity status. He was criticized by players, coaches, and the press alike, who often accused Iverson of a lack of respect for great NBA players, selfishness with the ball, and failure, despite his individiual achievements, to lead Sixers to a better record. He also endured scrutiny from the league office, who didn't like his hip-hop based persona (which included cornrows, and a growing number of tattoos on his body).
In the 1998-1999 season, Iverson had his first trip to the playoffs.

2004 Olympics
The team's performance at the Olympic Games, however, would ultimately prove to be a disappointment. Iverson and LeBron James were benched for a game for having arrived late to a practice session. The United States' team had a dismal start against Germany, which had failed to qualify for the Olympic competition. Iverson did succeed in keeping the game from going into overtime with a miraculous half-court shot in the closing seconds.
Despite the dramatic win, the team continued to struggle. They would ultimately claim a bronze medal, a disappointing showing by US basketball standards.

2006 trade
On April 18, 2006 Iverson and Chris Webber arrived late to the Sixers' fan appreciation night and home game finale. Players are expected to report 90 minutes before gametime, but both Iverson and Webber arrived around tipoff. Coach Maurice Cheeks notified the media that neither would be playing and general manager Billy King announced that Iverson and Webber would be fined.. During the 2006 off-season, trade rumors had Iverson going to Denver, Atlanta, or Boston. None of the deals were completed. Iverson had made it clear that he would like to stay a Sixer.
On November 29, 2006 following a conflict at practice, Iverson stormed out of the gymnasium. That same evening, Iverson missed a corporate sponsor night at Lucky Strike Lanes in Philadelphia. All the 76ers besides Iverson attended this mandatory event. Iverson was fined an undisclosed amount by the 76ers. Iverson claimed he overslept after taking medication for pain related to having two abscessed teeth pulled but it was reported that Iverson told teammates earlier in the day he planned to blow off the event and was simply going to take the fine.
On December 8 Iverson reportedly demanded a trade from the Sixers. As a result of the demand and missing practice prior to a matchup against the Washington Wizards, Iverson was told not to play nor attend any further games. During that game, which was televised nationally on ESPN, Sixers Chairman Ed Snider confirmed the trade rumors by stating "We're going to trade him. At a certain point, you have to come to grips with the fact that it's not working. He wants out and we're ready to accommodate him."
On December 19, the Philadelphia 76ers sent Iverson and forward Ivan McFarlin to the Denver Nuggets for Andre Miller, Joe Smith, and two first-round picks in the 2007 NBA Draft.

Iverson is the third leading scorer in NBA History. He has averaged 27.9 points per game in his career, trailing all-time leader Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain in this category by only 2.0 points per game. Iverson is one of only 30 players in NBA history to score over 20,000 points in his career, and he was the 6th fastest in the history of the game to achieve this feat.

My Sister's Wedding in Florida

Hello everyone! I thought I would say "Hello!" from Florida. It was a very busy weekend! On Saturday we had a reception dinner and then Sunday was the wedding (and then, of course, we have spent lots of time at the beach, playing in the ocean!)

There is a picture of the spot on the beach where we had the wedding. Then there a few pictures of my family...one picture is of me and my niece Anna before the wedding. In the group picture is my brother John, the very tall guy, and his girlfriend Betsey, me, my sister Laura and her new husband Daniel and Daniel's brother Paul.







There is also a picture of my other sister, Suzanne, and my very, very silly nephew, Ben having dinner at the wedding. Isn't he cute?! :)

Ok, I hope you all are having a wonderful week back there in Getafe. I'll see you all next week! :)
