Well the Mercé has come and gone! I hope it was a wonderful weekend for you! It was for me!
It was Andrea´s first Mercé on her own, with her girlfriends. She planned her weekend and all the events she wanted to see. They were mostly concerts. She was so excited!
For me, it was a different kind of Mercé. It was a first for me too, though! I had the good fortune to accompany her and then come and pick her up after the concerts. It was wonderful to see her so happy!
Perhaps you can remember when your daughter had her first Mercé weekend!
Barcelona is a grand city and the Mercé is a grand celebration!

Summer is over!
Well August has come and gone!
It is hard to believe, partly because the days have passed so quickly and partly because it is still quite hot!
With this weather, it still seems like summer! :-)
My daughter and I had a great summer! We swam, canoed, travelled, read, fished, had some quiet time to relax, did some sightseeing, went quadding, spent time with some of my old friends and saw our family in Canada.
The only "not-so-good" part was breaking a bone in my hand and having surgery! But everything is fine now and I am recovering, so this is great!!!
What did you do?
Where did you go?
Who did you see?
Who did you meet?
What books did you read?
Write me a list of 10 different things you did this summer!
Remember to write in the past tense. If you need some help with the form of the past tense verb, check out this web site, ESL Blues http://ww2.college-em.qc.ca/prof/epritchard/pastverb.htm.
I´m sure it will help you!
All the best,
Theresa
p.s. Can you find the third person plural pronoun and possessive adjective? What words are these? Come back for the answer in my next entry.

Summertime
It's a beautiful day today in Canada! Everyone is very grateful for the sun and clear skies!
It was raining but today the sun is out! It feels like summer. Thank goodness. This is not a typical summer for Ontarions. They are accustomed to at least one month of high temperatures during the month of July. But this past July it rained and it was cold. Ugghhh!
This morning, I read a great web site and found this little funny story about holiday driving accidents, so I thought I would post it for you. Holiday driving accidents can be disappointing, but this little story presented a funny side. I hope you like it.
The funny story:
I was getting into my car when I noticed a dent. On the windshield was a note and a phone number from the driver. "I feel terrible," the woman apologized when I called. "I hit your car as I was pulling into the next parking spot."
"Please, don't worry," I said to her. "I'm sure our insurance companies will take care of everything."
"Thank you for your understanding," she said. "You're so much nicer than the man I hit on the way out." :-) : -) (end of story)
Did you like this little story? Did it make you smile? I hope so!
How are you today? I hope you are having a good week.
Did you make any holiday plans this past week?
Most people are either on holidays now or are planning to go on holidays very soon!
Well, I am going to close for now! I will write another entry two days from now!
Theresa
p.s. Can you find all the verbs in the past tense in this blog? Are there any new ones for you? If so, write them in your language log in the 'New verbs section for me!'

July is coming to an end!
Today is Thursday, July 30th! It is the second last day of the month. It is hard to believe that our summer is almost half over!!! Where has the time gone? It seems to me like July was just beginning.
Well, I hope it has been a great July for you! In Barcelona, it has been a very hot month with record temperatures. We have had plenty of that wonderful mediterranean sun!
If you are going to be on a beach for August, then I hope these temperatures continue for you! If you are not able to get to a beach, then I hope the sun continues but that the temperatures let up a little.
What are your plans for August?
What are you going to do?
Where are you going to go?
Who are you going to visit?
I am going to be on a plane to Canada on Friday morning,
I am going to celebrate the August 1st holiday in Canada with my family. I am very happy about that!
Well, it is late, so I am going to close for now. I hope you are going to have a wonderful end of the month and a very wonderful August!
I am going to write more on August 1st. I´ll tell you about how the holiday went in Canada!
Bye for now!

Welcome to our English Language Coaching Blog!
Welcome!
On this blog, I will send you information you can read, web sites you can visit, language activities you can work on and short video clips you can watch and review. Every day I will post an entry for you to consult at your leisure, whenever and wherever it is convenient for you!
Feel free to write me back! Every time you write me back you are strengthening your communication skills In English!!! :-)
Here is a first little video clip from youtube that I am going to post. I chose this clip because it is endearing. I also chose this clip because of the power of suggestion. Today it will reach 35 degrees in Barcelona... very, very hot for a cold-loving, Canadian like me! This video clip made me feel much fresher and cooler when I watched it! I hope it does the same for you!
