Here we can listen to some Dublin stories.

The Flatmates episode 1, from BBC Learning English

Love for teaching!!!!!!!!

Question words: Where?

Where shall we go?

Towards learning!

Words in order ...or...in disorder

How many different ways can you order these words?






Dullness


Dull is the hope, full of sun that tears away the energy. 
Down the river, diving, my motionless fingers.
Crying inside, and hiding inside, under
the passersby, under the windows
that stay locked a-waiting.
For no one to arrive.

Teresa Martín

Differences or ... similarities?

Sometimes in our lessons we describe photographs, maybe while searching for differences, but, why not looking for similarities? 

Enjoy yourselves while describing these photographs of Dublin.

More opinions on the film

"My favourite character in Little Miss Sunshine is 'grandpa'. He is very funny, but he sometimes goes too far in his speech. He loves his granddaughter a lot, and he teaches her some dance movements. He may have his faults, but he is a good person".

Mario (15 years old)

Children's opinions on Little Miss Sunshine

When having watched half of the film, the children answer the questions "what is your favourite character and why?", "what is your favourite scene and why?". Here are some opinions:

• "My favourite character is Dwayne because he says 'f***' all the time. My favourite scene is when Dwayne gets angry and says 'f***, f***ing people' ".

Jorge (14 years old)

• "My favourite character is Grandpa because he is very funny and he says what he thinks. My favourite scene is when the policeman stops them and sees the magazines".

Julia (14 years old)

• "My favourite character is Frank because he is great, funny and he is the best of the film. My favourite scene is when they are at the hospital."

Juan (14 years old)

• "I think my favourite character is Dwayne because he fights for getting what he wants."

Alba (14 years old)
