RESILIENCE VS. VIOLENCE: RESIST OR SERVE

Keep Calm
Today, The Holmes have reviewed Future Continuous, Prepositions of Place and Movement, Enough and Too. It has been an intensive day because they’ve started to create a commercial profile for their new characters.

It’s not easy to find adjectives that describe our skills and our character but they have been working hard and have got some of them.

Finally, we have remembered a horrible fact of our recent History. Today is the 70th anniversary of Auschwitz liberation and we have talked about the disasters of wars. It doesn’t matter when, where or why, a war is always the failure of dialogue, tolerance and respect. We’ve been talking about Winston Churchill and his influence over the British population during the difficult days of war.

For other hand, The Holmes have visited Pompeii and Ercolano and they have climbed Mount Vesuvius up. It has been a great experience. Tomorrow, they are sailing along the coast and they are visiting the Neapolitan islands.


Ruins are remindeds that while time will pass,
memories remind.

FUTURE FORMS (I): PRESENT CONTINUOUS

Scattergories
Today, The Holmes have revised Present Continuous with a future idea. It’s not easy to identify this tense. They have done some exercises about the articles (a/the) and have practised some Social English.

It’s turn to write less and speak more and step by step we are going to change writing by oral activities. We have to talk a lot about our new cooperative; chose a name; think a logo and start to work with commercial vocabulary without forgetting grammar.

They’ve practised some memo games like the bomb and The Triplets game and they’ve written a little password using only adjectives.

For other hand, the family is still in Naples enjoying its surroundings and its lifestyle. Tomorrow, they’re continuing their travel visiting Pompeii and Ercolano two historical cities.
