have started a new book, The Ghost of
Canterville, a great work of Oscar
Wilde, the Irish writer who had an interesting life and who is a source of
inspiration for The Grandma, who
adores him.
They have
been talking about Japan practising with
a Password Game.
Meanwhile, The Grandma was sad because another
genius has decided to go far away in a journey without return. Thanks David, for all these years of art,
imagination, creation, innovation and passion. We will miss you.
We are a big family, but the really important are
ourselves and our family. The Grandma is a friendly, lovely and wealthy woman,
who decided to adopt a big family for living a lot of adventures. During this
travel, we have worked a lot to improve our English and to search the answers
for some questions which are round us. I want to explain you them and the way
started here, two months ago.
One day, we received an Eva’s note, his grandfather was missed and we wanted to help her
to find him. We travelled to Venice, and during the Corto’s quest, Eva was
trapped in the Turkish part of Cyprus. We decided to travel to Nicosia for
helping her.
When we’re in Cyprus, during the rescue, Gemma felt down to the sea and we
lost her trail. We’re worried but we didn’t know any news about her then we
decided to travel to Rhodes it was the last place that someone saw Corto, he
has been there. We flew to Adriana’s
home in this island and we could visit the island and enjoying Mediterranean
lifestyle, culture, hospitality and good food!!!!
Meanwhile, our Grandma was searching a big and
incredible home in England for us. We must learn English!!!!!!!!!!!

Travelling by train we knew The Hobo’s. They were popular people from the U.S; and The Lullaby, popular songs for sleeping
babies “In the crib of hunger, my dild was. With blood onion is nursed" - Onion’s

proud of Eva. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

dreams (Salvador DalÍ), Eva was

amazing stories in the near and far time........What has in common Whitechapel, in London and
Carrer Raval, in Barcelona. Perhaps....................the organs and the
blood?????????? Why is a Salamander in Park Güell? Because the salamander
symbolizes the August’s victory on Cleopatra’s Empire. Why church, factory and
school form an equilateral triangle?? The same happens between Park Güell and
The Forum. Is limited only the construction or is there more behind this?? Masonry, she taught us about
it!!!!!!!!

distances. All of them are based in the Phi Number.

You've got the whole world in your pocket
But you just don't know
Everybody's smilin' at you everywhere you go
It's like you've got that secret
That everybody else wants to know.
The surname Collins has a
variety of likely origins in Britain and Ireland:
Anglo-Saxon: A patronymic surname
based on the name Colin, an English diminutive form of Nicholas. In England,
Collins usually signified son of Colin.
Welsh: Collen = hazel, hazel
grove.
Irish: cuilein =
darling, a term of endearment applied to a whelp or young animal. The medieval
surname was Ua Cuiléin, which has usually become Ó Coileáin today.
The Collins Family are 17 members: Adriana, Belén, Dámaris, David, Eva Cyprus, Eva Maltese, Gemma, Karen, Laura, M.Carmen, M.Ángeles, Miriam, Montse Paris, Montse Pottery, Montse The Second, Vanesa and The Grandma. Every member of the family comes from a different country and English is the common language. The Collins Family works together for reaching its objectives and, even seeing the world from a seventeen different points of view, they always arrive to find a point in common: The greater good.
So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are
I never opened myself this way Life is ours, we do it our way All these words I just don't say
Trust I seek but I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
The family
could reach one of the most important dreams for Karen: sing in the Eurovision
Song Contest. This year, Vienna
was the city which organizes it and The
Collins Family moved from Salzburg to the capital of Austria.
The Song
Contest was amazing and after a hard fight between the local artist, Conchita,
and Karen, who represented Ukraine, our heroine won playing a
beautiful song called “Hou, hou”, a
song which talked about peace and love, obviously.
The Collins
Family continued its English preparation and during this intensive week, they
revised grammar: Must/Mustn’t, Can/Can’t, Could/Couldn’t, Should/Shouldn’t, the Conditional Tense or the Second
Conditional and advanced in its reading about Robinson Crusoe’s novel.
Last Thursday, we reviewed Future
Continuous, some connectors and Zero Conditional. We created a new
composition about Occitan Poetry and Gipsy’s tarot and we worked with the W- questions.
MJ visited us and talked about the
next Cambridge Exams (KET and PET) and their date: 16 May. We talked about
online education and some methods of knowledge.
The
Collins Family has continued Gemma’s
searching. She’s missing since the boat, where all the family was sailing, sunk
in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. It seems that Gemma is fine because the family has received some tweets located
in an unknown spot.
Today, we’ve reviewed some
grammar doing an exam. All the members of the family have passed the exam
successfully. We’ve read a little more and we’ve talked about things and its
meanings.
After the breakfast, The Collins Family has helped Karen to
create some beautiful songs for participating in the next Eurovision Song Contest in Austria, M. Ángeles hometown. We’ve performed a little contest with France,
Ukraine, Portugal, Austria, Belgium and Italy as singers. It has been a great
moment plenty of strong, passion and incredible performances. France, represented by Gemma and Montse Paris has won with a full punctuation: 25 of 25 possible.
The Grandma has joined this
morning to the family. They’re together again and enjoying of TheMediterranean Sea near Santorini (Greece).
Today, we’ve reviewed Past Continuous
and Past Simple and we’ve started a new reading book about the adventures of
two friends, Jake and Ros. We’ve talked about communication skills in group
interviews and we’ve studied the order of words in the sentences, especially
with the additions: Manner-Place-Time.
The family is sailing in the
Love Boat where has happened a strange case: a robbery. An old passenger said
that her jewels had disappeared and some members of our family are between the
main suspects: Mari Carmen, Montse Pottery, Eva Cyprus, Adriana, Gemma and
Dámaris. The Grandma is flying by helicopter to the Love Boat for avoiding any
kind of arrest.
Meanwhile, some members of the
family are working very hard: Eva Cyprus is designing new spaces in Downton
Abbey for the family pets and Belén is preparing a great tour inside The Louvre
Museum.
Tomorrow, The Collins Family
will give enough explanations about of all them to seem innocent and continue
the trip. The Family has a lot of work: preparing eight different songs for
participating in Eurovision Song Contest, a Karen’s dream.
Roll of the dice!
Love Boat soon will be making another run The Love Boat promises something for everyone Set a course for adventure Your mind on a new romance
Karen, our singer, was born in Kiev, Ukraine, the country of Leo Tolstoy, Milla Jovovich and Mila Kunis, which was occupied by Russians and desolated by the Chernobyl nuclear
accident in 1986.
This situation was very important for Karen because she
realized, quickly, how important was freedom for expression and though and how
difficult was living under a dictatorship. Perhaps, because of this, she
decided to dedicate her whole life to compose songs. It was her manner of
expressing her feelings, doubts and hopes.
Nowadays, Karen is living in Sant Boi, where she
arrived some years ago looking for sun, beaches and peace. She continues her
music career and she competes against Ani Lorak (Ани Лорак) for being the most
popular Ukrainian voice meanwhile she thinks, constantly, in her country,
devastated again by internal wars.
Everyone thinks of changing the
world, but no one thinks of changing himself
