HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANTONI GAUDÍ IN SANT BOI?

Eli, Irene & Olga Bond have gone shopping

Today, The Bonds have practiced Present Perfect with Already, Just, Yet, Ever and Never. Thay have also talked about the modal verb Need/Needn't and the normal verb Need to/Don't need to.

The Grandma has totally crossed and she has needed some caffeine to be a person. Yesterday, she had an ugly incident with some Russian teenagers in the streets of Paris and today she was remembering it. She has had an introspective day and she has started to remember old stories which aren't interesting but can save you if you're able to connect them with whatever you want.

After these stories, the family has made an homage to Sant Boi, a beautiful and important city next to the old Via Rubricatus and Via Augusta, talking about the importance of its popular people, like Pau Gasol or Marc Gasol and famous ones like Manel Esteller.

Finally, the family has talked about the Phi number and its importance in our universe. The number was an inspiration to our greatest genius, Antoni Gaudí, who was working in Sant Boi before building The Sagrada Família.

Good luck family!

Yesterday, The Poppins visited Silicon Valley. It was an important day for all the family because Susana Poppins has been invited to participate in the opening of the annual convention about apps.

It was an incredible experience and all The Poppins enjoyed every minute of that incredible speech. Before assisting to the convention, the family had been reviewing some English grammar. They have been working Present Perfect and its clues Already, Just, Yet and Ever during all the week.

The trip is arriving to the end and now is the moment to start to work with complex exercises, mixing tenses and trying to learn some things of an upper level. The family practised the difference between Past Simple and Present Perfect.

Finally, in the same city, The Poppins are going to visit Ulisses, an old friend, the male orca which lives in SeaWorld and lived in Barcelona before arriving to California. Ulisses (Ulysses) was captured on November 7, 1980 at Reydarfjördur, Iceland, when he was approximately 3 years old and moved to Barcelona where he and Snowflake were the most loved members of the local zoo. After staying in San Diego, Ulisses has had three children: Moanà, Amaya and Kalia.

Comics are a gateway drug to literacy.
