Hi students! Welcome to "English and More"






Hello!



My name is Santiago and I am thirty nine years old.

I live in Berisso but I am from Lezama

I am an English teacher and I work in four public schools:

E.S.T 2, E.S 8, E.S 3 and E.S 2 from Berisso

I have two younger brothers: Alan and Emmanuel, and one younger sister Ana Paula.

I love music and my favourite hobbies are singing and playing the guitar

These summer holidays I travelled to Cuba by plane with my girlfriend in February and we stayed for eleven days. We went to La Havana, Cayo Guillermo and Varadero. In the picture below I am wearing a Cuban hat at a local shop.

THE MEMORY REMAINS


Only a week ago we remembered that sad page of our history which started on March the 24th in 1976.


Why is memory important for a country and its people? Watch the following video and put as many words or phrases you consider possible answers:

 
example:  " the memory speaks about  deeds"

Today we continue using our memory for the young soldiers sent to Malvina's war on April the 2nd in 1982, again violence shows us incurable tragedy and blackened hearts.

See what ideas of violence can you identify in the following video clip, use your own words as much as you can


Example:  "Our soldiers were not trained to fight in a war but were mistreated and tortured instead"

  2. Do you to listen music everyday?

  2. Choose one phrase from the poem and use other words to say the same. 
  3. What is the implied message in each phrase? 
  4. Is this poem related to how we live our lives?



Take care of your thoughts
 they will become words.
Take care of your words

Take care of your actions
they will become habits.
Take care of your habits

Take care of your personality
it will bring  light to your destiny
