Notice the differences:

1.- The role of the best man at the reception
2.- The speeches at the ceremony

As in real weddings, the speech is based on facts of the groom's life !!!!

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it!!

Last year's example of a PowerPoint

OK students. Here's a very short example of a powerpoint about the trip. It shows what Ogroprofe's experience was last year. I am confident your impressions this year have been much better -despite the Volcano anecdote-.

It took me two-night work and it was the first time I did anything like this. What I mean is that it is very easy, especially for young experts like you.

Eastenders, a popular London soap opera



Let's Talk Students interviewing Claire about “Eastenders”

This is an interview of my Let's Talk students to Claire McGuire about the soap opera Eastenders.

Alberto: In which channel is it on?

Claire: It's on BBC One.

Idoia: What year did it start?

Claire: It was first broadcast in 1985

Marta: How many days a week can you watch Eastenders?

Claire: Mm, I think it is four times a week

Marta: And what happens if you miss an episode?

Claire: Usually there's a repeat on Sunday but if not, you can watch it on I-player in the internet

Cristina: Why is it so popular?

Claire: Mm, it's popular because it deals with lots of issues to do with everyday life; it's about the community, normal people

Lorena: How long is it?

Claire: Each episode is about 30 minutes

Alba: What is your opinion about this programme?

Claire: I like it but I prefer Coronation Street because Eastenders is a bit depressing (Not true; the real reason is that Coronation Street is set in Manchester, her home town!!)

Sarai: In which city the soap opera is set?

Claire: It's set in London, but it's set in a town that's not real; Walford is not real (Eastenders makes you think of the Eastend of London, where Cockneys are from)

Zipi (Alejandra): Who are the most important characters?

Claire: The most important family that's been in the soap for years is the Mitchells

Miriam: Who are Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell?

Claire: Ronnie and Roxy Mitchel are Phill Mitchell's cousins.

OK, thank you very much Claire.

Claire: You're welcome.
