A SPEECH BY CHRISTINE

We were also lucky to have the opportunity to meet an English lady. She had prepared a powerpoint and told us about the European Union and the fact that anyone who lives in a member country can work and move from one place to another place without the need of a permit. Thanks Christine! It´s the first time my students have been so close to a native speaker of English. And, although it may sound strange, some of them realised at that moment how important it is to learn English nowadays.

EUROPE DAY

During these last days my students have been working hard because of Europe Day. They´ve prepared posters and a wonderful map where they´ve written the names of the countries which are members of the European Union, but in their own language.
I´d like to thank, above all, Mari Carmen,Neiva,María,Mª José, Emilia, Juan José, Margaret, Beatriz, Cristina and Belén for their help and effort.
Here are some pictures of the process and the result.

HOW FIGHTS START

My wife sat down on the settee next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?'

I said, 'Dust.'

And then the fight started...

******************************************


My wife and I were watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?"

"No," she answered.

I then said, "Is that your final answer?"

She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, "Yes."

So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."

And then the fight started....

******************************************


Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the van, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day.

I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."

My loving wife of 5 years replied, "Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"

And that's how the fight started...

******************************************


I rear-ended a car this morning. So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car. You know how sometimes you just get soooo stressed and little things just seem funny? Yeah, well I couldn't believe it.... He was a DWARF!!! He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, "I AM NOT HAPPY!!!"

So, I looked down at him and said, "Well, then which one are you?"

And then the fight started.....

*****************************************


My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.'

I bought her a bathroom scale.

And then the fight started...

******************************************


When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her some place expensive... so, I took her to a petrol station.

And then the fight started...

******************************************


After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.

The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.

When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office.

She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.'

And then the fight started...

******************************************


My wife and I were sitting at a table at my school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.

My wife asked, 'Do you know her?'

'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.'

'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'

And then the fight started...

******************************************


I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason took my order first. "I'll have the steak, medium rare, please."

He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?""

Nah, she can order for herself."

And then the fight started...

******************************************


A woman was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to her husband, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'

The husband replied, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.'

And then the fight started.....

NEVER GIVE UP

You, boys and girls, can learn lots of things from this man.Remember what he says: `If I fail, I try again and again and again´.

FAIR PLAY

On 19th March 2010 some of my students and I went to the theatre where "Fair play" was performed.
The story is about four friends: Anna, Sara, James and Richard. James and Richard play American football in "The Lions", but they always lose. Anna y Sara are cheerleaders, but Sara doesn't cheer very well.
After a match, they all decide to bet to see if the girls can play American football and the boys can cheer. At the beginning everybody is bad. Days go by and they all practise. James and Richard go to the shopping centre to buy colourful clothes to cheer and Sara and Anna buy a videogame of American football and practise with it. The truth is that James cheers better than Sara and Sara plays better than James. So they change their roles, and that's how "The Lions" win at the end.

I´d like to thank the students who came with me ( Carmen Mari, Francisco, Christian, Mª José, María, Jose Manuel, Francisco Javier, Tamara, Jessica and Mireya).

We enjoyed a lot!
