ADJECTIVES

Listen to Alanis Morissette's song and complete the gaps with adjectives:

HAND IN MY POCKET by Alanis Morissette

I'm broke but I'm ................
I'm poor but I'm .........
I'm short but I'm ..............., yeah
I'm .............. but I'm grounded
I'm ........... but I'm overwhelmed
I'm ............ but I'm hopeful baby

What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five

I feel drunk but I'm .............
I'm ............... and I'm .....................
I'm .............. but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm ..................
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm ................ and I'm sorry baby

What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette

What it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign

I'm ........... but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm ...............
I'm .............. but I'm ................. baby
I'm ............... but I'm laughing
I'm ............... but I'm chicken shit
I'm ............... but I'm ................ baby

And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano

What it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxicab...

MY LIFE by Itziar Úbeda Arnedo

I was born in a village named Montaverner. I was a little girl with brown hair and brown eyes... Time went by and I didn't realise about anything. I saw things totally unknown to me, I only saw faces with smiles and I didn't know what to answer. I was a girls who didn't know fear and ignorance. I was discovering new experiences, textures, sounds, words without meaning... And after, Chritmas time came and everybody ate black things and I wondered what that was. The Three Wise Men arrived... When I saw them I started to cry because I saw unknown faces. There were flashes around and everybody took pictures of me. I didn't know what it was about. Step by step I grew up and realised about things.

One day, my mum got me dressed and broght me to a neew place where there were many children, some of them cried, others laughed... I was one of the one who laughed, I was an adventurer and a dreamer.  A few years later I went to the school. There were new teachers, new subjects...everything was different.

To my mum, I was the girl from the house, my mum was very illusionated with the new situation and the joy I brought to my home.

Time went by and I learnt new things. Then I arrived to High School. The first day I got lost. There were a lot of corridors, a lot of people were looking at me and I looked like a small ant without exit. After,  the summer holiday came...swimming pool, beach, time to do what I wanted to..

Three months later a new course started and another one until 3rd ESO. There was a rumour that this course was the most difficult and effectively I tripped over a big stone because I thought I could passed it without studying. That summer was completely different. I studied the whole summer but finally I failed the exams of September. So now I am at 3rd ESO again. I regret about not studying before. This has been a lesson for me. Now things are better, I study and do my homework. I'm happier because I'm proud of myself and of my results.

I'm Itziar Úbeda Arnedo and I'm fifteen years old.

1st of Batxillerat 1st Term videos

Students had to record a video about a topic studied in the 1st Term. Some of them really got the idea... but the most important thing is that they all enjoyed themselves a lot doing it. Good work, guys!

God save Queen! ;)´

WELCOME BACK!

Welcome back!
The course is about to start again... Once again it will mean a new step up in our lives, the reset of the path we started walking some years ago, a new chapter of the book we've been reading for some time... In a nutshell, a new course is a new chance for everyone, the opportunity to reinvent yourself again trying hard to be better than before. You're invited, help yourself...
