I rememberit as a very beautiful ride, even though I know it’s not. Laïka lived in a big house at the top of a hill. Iused to pick her up there and then we'd go together for a ride around the city. One day, she toldme that she discovered a very beautiful place beyond the mountains. I thought that there wereonly mountains beyond mountains, but she looked excited, so we went anyway. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 700;"&gt;I still can’tdescribe that place. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;It’s a place where no &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;"&gt;cars &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;go, where no &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;"&gt;ships &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;go, where no &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;"&gt;subs &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;go,where no &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;"&gt;spaceships &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;go. Not everyone can see that place. There’s a key, and only your mindholds it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="section"&gt;&lt;div class="layoutArea"&gt;&lt;div class="column"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Some cities make you lose your head, and that was the med we all needed. But as I said, noteveryone found the key. As the kids got older, their hearts became colder making them lose it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="layoutArea"&gt;&lt;div class="column"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;"&gt;The summer turned into dust.They turned the summer into dust.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Using great big words that they don’t even understand like modern men, their mutations started.By the month of May, The Suburbs was a city with no children in it. Light. Half Light. Darkness.All my old friends were so different then.

La brisa hace que el paseo sea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; extraordinariamente agradable. Vemos las fortificaciones, la zona amuralla&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;da, las iglesias, el lazareto para los leprosos y no puede una por menos de sorprenderse de lo que aquellos caballeros peleones&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; y beatos fueron capace&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;s de levantar (como muy bien lo resumió Saúl ya volviendo a casa: "Los malteses son muy católicos, pero luego, por la noche en las zonas de juerga, ya no lo son tanto"). Ay, Saúl, esa eterna lucha entre el espíritu y la carne&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; que consituye la vida misma.&lt;/span&gt;..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;En el barco hay japoneses con cámaras (o quizás mejor, cámaras protuberantes cada una con su japo detrás), que nos saludan dando permanentes cabezazos.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Hay un cierto momento de sopor, roto por los gritos de medio barco que al grito de "¡GUAPOOOOO&lt;/span&gt;!" &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;se inclina por estribor pues se nos ha informado que allí abajo, ju&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;st&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;o bajo la enésima fortificación, Brad Pitt rueda un película. Los japoneses se despiertan por el tumulto y se lanzan a disparar sus flashes en todas direcciones pues no tienen la menor idea de lo que pasa, pero no están para perderse nada, faltaría más.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Llegamos a Sliema disuestos a gastar las últimas monedillas y a despedirnos de esta ciudad cordial y calurosa de aguas extralimpias.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HMw2LJNbWPY/TikxtjLQTsI/AAAAAAAABDc/ZdePJT0yMf4/s1600/IMG_2820.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HMw2LJNbWPY/TikxtjLQTsI/AAAAAAAABDc/ZdePJT0yMf4/s320/IMG_2820.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632087467609837250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=" font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;SABADO 25 DE JUNIO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Por un error, la organización en Sliema avisa tarde a la empresa encargada de recogernos a todos casa por casa, y a punto estamos de infartar a las 7 de la mañana. Para remate, al ll&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;egar a uno de los domicilios, Saúl y Mario han apagado la alarma del móvil y no se han despertado, por lo que entro en la casa hecha una furia con los pelos verdes ante los atónitos ojos de la "familia adoptiva", que se frota los ojos sin entender nada de lo que pasa. Levanto las sábanas y a gritos les obligo a levantarse. Andan zombies de puro dormidos, tanteando a ver si encuentran sus pantalones en el aire, pero yo ya me veo en tierra, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;mientras el feliz grupo de Yolanda surca los cielos. Saúl, una vez más, lo resume de manera certera: "Menos mal que me acosté con las lentillas, que si no, me las habrías metido tú a puñetazos esta mañana". Efectivamente: no  sabes bien, querido alumno, de lo que soy capaz con tal de cumplir con el plan establecido. Pero todo va bien y derrapando en la furgo llegamos al aeropuerto de Malta donde Yolanda me informa de que la familia anfitriona de Gabriel, Eric y Alejandro, la ha felicitado por la educación y comportamiento de nuestros chavales. Debemos añadir que la familia de Saúl y Mario también me guiñaba el ojo al salir pues los habían llegado a apreciar m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;ucho. Y a mí, con el café hirviendo que me he tomado, mucho más ocupada en curarme la lengua, ya se me ha pasado el mosqueo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Una vez en el aeropuerto, los adormilados tardones todavía tienen tiempo de comprar cliks de Famobil en forma de caballeros de la&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; Orden de Malta, recomendación de Ester del Campo, su querida profesora, que ellos ejecutan con devoción.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Llegamos a Madrid en estado de buena salud y relativa alegría pues, como siempre, alejarse de un sitio donde uno ha tenido una experiencia feliz no es fácil. Y nos vienen a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;la cabeza las palabras de Ces&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;are Pavese&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Los viajes son una brutalidad. Le obligan a uno a confiar en  extraños y a perder de vista toda la comodidad familiar de la casa y de  los amigos. Se está en continuo desequilibrio. Nada le pertenece a uno  salvo las cosas esenciales: el aire, el descanso, los sueños, el mar, el  cielo, y todo tiende hacia lo eterno o a lo que imaginamos de la  eternidad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Por ello, y a pesar de ello, debemos seguir viajando, confiando en extraños y aprendiendo de nosotros mismos en&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; circunstancias diferentes de las habituales. Y aquí terminan estas crónicas. Hasta el año que viene, quizás en otro viaje en el que nuestra misión será, como siempre, fabricar recuerdos, porque, ¿qué &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;es &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;viajar más que eso?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mdr6MbCjfY0/Tik0AIijqJI/AAAAAAAABD0/5B67dC0MxZU/s1600/IMG_2765.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mdr6MbCjfY0/Tik0AIijqJI/AAAAAAAABD0/5B67dC0MxZU/s320/IMG_2765.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632089985900587154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gracias por la atención.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Yolanda y Marisol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4841492153801514094-3831105026791541185?l=inglesventurarodriguez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4841492153801514094/posts/default/3831105026791541185'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4841492153801514094/posts/default/3831105026791541185'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inglesventurarodriguez.blogspot.com/2011/06/viaje-malta-2011-y-5.html' title='VIAJE A MALTA 2011 (y 5)'/><author><name>Departamento de Inglés</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12171767564370179074</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OdqpfkloGhU/Tikr8Ij6ltI/AAAAAAAABCo/erAbsdGJ8Yg/s72-c/IMG_2793.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841492153801514094.post-7544429595027361383</id><published>2011-06-24T10:33:00.009+02:00</published><updated>2011-12-13T23:47:56.558+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Trips'/><title type='text'>VIAJE A MALTA 2011 (4)</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;MIERCOLES 22 DE JUNIO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7xOYYkNWEoU/TikpQ70QUiI/AAAAAAAABCI/hG82JBL1XOc/s1600/IMG_2756.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7xOYYkNWEoU/TikpQ70QUiI/AAAAAAAABCI/hG82JBL1XOc/s320/IMG_2756.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632078179915026978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xu6miQZ8724/TikpbHwx2NI/AAAAAAAABCQ/of3RQiqO8j4/s1600/IMG_2759.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xu6miQZ8724/TikpbHwx2NI/AAAAAAAABCQ/of3RQiqO8j4/s320/IMG_2759.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632078354920364242" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Las clases prosiguen con normalidad (Rubén se muestra feliz de que su "madre adoptiva" le vaya entendiendo cuando le indica que no puede con más comida), y las picaduras de mosquitos tambien.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Tras comer, Eric, Africa, Lucia, Miriam y Begoña &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;marchan a La Valetta con la sana intencion de visitar la catedral y las salas de Caravaggio. Todo sale bien aunque realizan la visita con la nariz de Eric pegada al mapa y los cuerpos haciendo equilibrios inverosímiles en el bus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Por la tarde, en la dicoteca FUEGO, la escuela nos proporciona con su proverbial amabilidad una fiesta de espuma con un DJ caribeño incluido que hace las delicias de los alumnos y alumnas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; del Ventura (especialmente de Macarena) que, en menos que canta un gallo, se suben a la plataforma &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family:verdana;" &gt;feeling the groove&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; como si les hubieran dado cuerda. Predomina el &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family:verdana;" &gt;techtonic &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;mas que el &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family:verdana;" &gt;jumpstyle &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;(más que nada por falta literal de sitio). En medio de la e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;spuma, el ruido y el calor emergen unas niñas salidas del jardín de infancia que andan por allí también en viaje de estudios. El estupor alcanza cotas elevadas y nos frotamos los ojos sin dar crédito a lo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; que vemos. Yolanda, alucinada y m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;osqueada, pregunta y viene con la información de que las pequeñas rusas (¿o francesas?) tienen sólo 8 años. Murm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;urando cosas ininteligibles y los ojos vueltos del revés, se derrumba en el sillón. Mientras tanto, alguien casi se marea y otros tragan espuma sin mayores consecuencias ya que el cuerpo esta hecho a todo a estas alturas. Las profesoras, en la terraza, observa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;n los bailes de un grupo de extranjeros en el hotel de al lado que, desconectados totalmente de las canciones románticas que interpreta una animadora inasequible al desaliento, mueven el cuerpo en una coreografía tejana imaginaria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;La escuela nos lleva a casa en bus (ellos muy muy sudados), a dormir. Mañana será otro día, y nosotras hacemos lo q&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;ue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; podemos -que no es poco - por intentar colgar fotos sin éxito ya que internet hoy esta errático e imprevisible.

Afortunadamente las cenas son muy buenas, aunque todo parece poco para esta plaga de langostas.&lt;br /&gt;Por la tarde un recorrido por Mdina (ciudad extraordinaria y breathtaking) en la que Saúl y Santiago ganan el premio de la búsqueda del tesoro (en inglés) por las calles de esta ciudad amurallada. Vemos las catacumbas de San Pablo donde los romanos le brearon pero él, inasequible al desaliento, decidió bautizar a los primeros malteses que se convirtieron. Lucía y sus tres millones de picaduras de mosquitos, se mostraron muy interesadas. Miriam aguantó estoicamente sus amagos de claustrofobia mientras que África a duras penas podía disimular su malestar por no llevar suelto para el guía local. Os pasamos una foto de una parte del grupo con Carl, un chico de Manchester que nos acompañó en el recorrido y con el que posamos alegres y contentos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4841492153801514094-8979259401667281880?l=inglesventurarodriguez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4841492153801514094/posts/default/8979259401667281880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4841492153801514094/posts/default/8979259401667281880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inglesventurarodriguez.blogspot.com/2011/06/viaje-malta-2011-3.html' title='VIAJE A MALTA 2011 (3)'/><author><name>Departamento de Inglés</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12171767564370179074</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--5lGctMrRbY/TgGZQOuJT1I/AAAAAAAABCA/wi_I12jebEU/s72-c/IMG_2645.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841492153801514094.post-4222529693067269113</id><published>2011-06-22T08:42:00.017+02:00</published><updated>2011-12-13T23:47:56.559+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Trips'/><title type='text'>VIAJE A MALTA 2011 (2)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p8GeroL73OA/TgGXwWkN72I/AAAAAAAABB4/SeLFJBritDs/s1600/IMG_2645.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JSMKvRkAhL4/TgGTZduUEzI/AAAAAAAABBw/-Zy6YEvWNOM/s1600/IMG_2633.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620935875619984178" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JSMKvRkAhL4/TgGTZduUEzI/AAAAAAAABBw/-Zy6YEvWNOM/s320/IMG_2633.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LUNES 20 DE JUNIO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Han empezado las clases y de momento todo parece ir bien. Los más contentos, Saúl, Rubén y Andrés que se lo pasan muy bien con su profesor a quien entienden bastante bien.&lt;br /&gt;A partir de las 13:00 vamos a La Valetta donde recorremos edificios notables construidos por los caballeros de la Orden de Malta, quienes se dedicaban - por este orden - a rezar, pelearse los unos con los otros y tunear iglesias en un estilo que hoy daríamos en llamar Barroco. Nuestros alumnos aprecian la belleza de la zona mientras se dedican a comprar llaveritos e imanes para el frigorífico de manera non-stop (las mejores compras, sin duda, las de Eric Escoín). Una de las profesoras se prueba 100 pares de zapatos de plataforma, sin éxito.&lt;br /&gt;Para deleite de Don Eduardo Infantes, profesor de Arte del Ventura, vimos dos magníficos Caravaggios que nos dejaron boquiabiertos y ojopláticos, que no se diga que no se aprovechan estos viajes.&lt;br /&gt;Por la noche celebramos el cumpleaños de Santiago con un día de retraso sobre el horario establecido.&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620932377929921554" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iOcqHpArKqs/TgGQN30BNBI/AAAAAAAABBo/H0pibcXu5oc/s320/IMG_2624.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4841492153801514094-4222529693067269113?l=inglesventurarodriguez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4841492153801514094/posts/default/4222529693067269113'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4841492153801514094/posts/default/4222529693067269113'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inglesventurarodriguez.blogspot.com/2011/06/viaje-malta-2011-2.html' title='VIAJE A MALTA 2011 (2)'/><author><name>Departamento de Inglés</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12171767564370179074</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JSMKvRkAhL4/TgGTZduUEzI/AAAAAAAABBw/-Zy6YEvWNOM/s72-c/IMG_2633.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841492153801514094.post-829243648407485679</id><published>2011-06-14T19:51:00.029+02:00</published><updated>2011-12-13T23:47:56.559+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Trips'/><title type='text'>VIAJE A MALTA 2011 (1)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uw_KeX6hkLo/TfeoQH_084I/AAAAAAAABAo/HmiFt-Dy6Q4/s1600/1926510-Sliema_Malta-Sliema.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618144055146115970" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uw_KeX6hkLo/TfeoQH_084I/AAAAAAAABAo/HmiFt-Dy6Q4/s320/1926510-Sliema_Malta-Sliema.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;El próximo día 18, y hasta el 25 de junio, un grupo de 19 estudiantes de 3º ESO (Elena, Irene, Andrés, Rubén, Alejandro, Eric, Gabriel, Macarena, Miriam, Africa, Lucía, Mario, Saúl, Begoña, Irene, Rosa María, Rosalía, Pablo y Santiago) con las profesoras de inglés Yolanda Jerez y Marisol Sánchez, realizarán una visita de inmersión lingüística y turismo en Malta.&lt;br /&gt;Residiremos en &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliema"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Sliema&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;, muy cerca de La Valetta, donde se encuentra la Linguatime School of English, donde los alumnos y alumnas recibirán clases de conversación cada mañana.&lt;br /&gt;El resto del tiempo, realizaremos excursiones por la isla y aprenderemos cosas nuevas, como por ejemplo, a sobrevivir sin mamá y sin el huevo frito de cena, a ser conscientes de que el protector solar es esencial cuando estamos bajo un tórrido sol casi africano, a ser muy educados con nuestra landlady y a agradecerle calurosamente el sandwich del picnic (aunque lleve pepino, que seguro lo lleva, pero esta vez sin e-coli), y a no olvidar que hay que ser puntuales a las citas si no queremos perder barcos de vuelta y tener luego que pedir que la compañía del Capitán Morgan nos tenga que hacer el favor de llevarnos a tierra sin dinero, agobiados y rojos como gambas tras un día de playa. En fin, aprenderemos que hay mundo más allá de Boadilla y del Ventura y que hablar por móvil desde lugares lejanos es &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;muy &lt;/span&gt;caro por lo que deberemos controlar la incontinencia telefónica y prescindir también (if possible) del Tuenti por unos días para practicar el sano arte de la conversación... en inglés.&lt;br /&gt;¡Animo con esos últimos exámenes chicos! Que el sábado a las tres y media de la mañana (hora estupenda) nos alejaremos de tanto estrés y sufrimiento para cocernos como mariscos bajo un sol de justicia. Cuando volvamos (más morenos y con mejor inglés) seremos la envidia y comidilla del Ventura... ¿hay acaso algo mejor que eso?&lt;br /&gt;Os dejamos por hoy pero seguiremos informando de los preparativos.&lt;br /&gt;Y prometemos colgar en este blog las fotos y las incidencias de cada día para entretenimiento de padres, madres, abuelos y vecinos, porque ¿qué sería de un viaje sin el placer de dar la murga con las fotos?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yolanda y Marisol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SÁBADO 18 DE JUNIO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz..............&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Tras el gran madrugón, llegamos a Malta arrastrando el cuerpo tras las maletas. Repartimos en bus a los chicos por sus alojamientos respectivos durante un tiempo interminable, para luego darnos cuenta de que a pesar de parecer que estábamos muy lejos, en realidad, nos alojábamos a cinco minutos los unos de los otros (misterios malteses). Por la tarde nos bañamos y tomamos el sol, y nos volvemos a bañar y volvemos a tomar el sol (en la variedad está el gusto). El día parece que cunde. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--JtcMniRWnk/TgDaTViqM0I/AAAAAAAABBQ/0T2hCqqCWnA/s1600/CIMG4140.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 351px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620732360693265218" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--JtcMniRWnk/TgDaTViqM0I/AAAAAAAABBQ/0T2hCqqCWnA/s320/CIMG4140.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Tras cenar (¡¡a las 6!!), la alegre muchachada del Ventura decide ir a los sitios de moda donde Santiago Sanglier opta por pre-celebrar su cumpleaños montándose en una lanzadera de gran altura. Los gritos de él y su acompañante se oían en Sicilia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Volvemos a casa agotados pero contentos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DOMINGO 19 DE JUNIO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Vamos a la isla de Gozo pero gozamos sólo hasta las 5.

Es el paraíso de los submarinistas, que en aquel momento sacan del agua una calavera en perfecto estado de conservación tras la que los alumnos del Ventura corren como paparazzis despepitados para hacer fotos y para alucine de los submarinistas (alemanes) que no saben ni qué cara poner, ni hacia dónde huir. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2wfUrB2XEcc/TgDiMcRxkkI/AAAAAAAABBg/8zvTl2ghpu8/s1600/CIMG4236.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 304px; HEIGHT: 216px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620741038335431234" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2wfUrB2XEcc/TgDiMcRxkkI/AAAAAAAABBg/8zvTl2ghpu8/s320/CIMG4236.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Paramos en una estupenda playa donde se supone que el crápula de Ulises llegó dispuesto a enamoriscarse de Calipso - que a la sazón vivía en una cueva no visitable ya -, quien le retuvo allí 7 añazos para desespero de la pobre Penélope.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Por fin Eric Escoín se sale con la suya y de regreso a Malta, paramos en Paradise Bay donde seguimos saltando las olas y jugando con una gigantesca pelota de NIVEA salida de quién sabe qué mochila. Al terminar, coge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;mos un autobús de línea regular que deja a medio grupo fuera y en el que observamos que a) caben 5 turistas por centímetro cuadrado, b) el conductor habla por el móvil mientras cambia las marchas con las rodillas y c) agarra el volante con los dientes.L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;legamos convencidos de que Dios existe y dispuestas las dos profesoras a pedir perdón de rodillas (if necessary) a las familias que nos esperan atacadas de los nervios.

la desautorización del discurso femenino tildándolo de histérico o emocional; la celebración del romance heterosexual como mecanismo de control en el que el amor se confunde con una aberrante incondicionalidad; la celebración de la cultura de la privación calórica, la intervención quirúrgica con fines estéticos y la negación del derecho a envejecer como mecanismos que intentan (con bastante éxito hasta la fecha) ajustar a la mujer a un molde que la asimila y le usurpa su singularidad y al que ella se entrega gustosa para lograr la tan ansiada aprobación social; el cuerpo femenino usado en la publicidad como fetiche erótico o como muestra de ser un sujeto enfermo sometido a una medicalización constante sobre la que ella no ejerce ningún control; el uso de mitos y estereotipos (incluso en la literatura considerada &lt;i&gt;excelente&lt;/i&gt;) que la convierten en un ente infantil, erótico o maligno (algo que sirve para impedirle participar en el proceso de simbolización);

When he was young he liked his job, forensic, at least he wasn´t longing for it to end every morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He came out of the bath, much calmer now, but he was still missing something before his sleep, to make it easier... He wasn´t used to having dinner, but as a routine, he went to the kitchen, grabbed his favourite bottle of Mexican tequila and sat on the couch. What a satisfaction was to feel the liquid down his throat after such a horrid day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The alarm clock set off the next morning. He couldn´t remember anything but that was not a change in his life, he preferred it that way. The difference today was that he felt his muscles really stiff and tired and had the feeling that he had been running all night. How strange! Anyways, he put his suit on and drove to the hospital. 9:30 , first corpse. Mr.Smith, Sheriff, arrived and recounted the crime. He listened as if behind a veil, not caring really. He did his work mechanically, with no need to listen to stupid stories at this time in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he pulled the sheet off he saw a thin, blonde, stunning woman, all full of bruises and scratches. It was no doubt another of many cases of rape. First thing to do, a DNA check from her insides. While the computer analysed, he went to inspection and found some brown hair. How strange, same lentgh, same colour, same touch as his.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The machine beeped and when he looked into the screen said his name.What was his name doing on the screen?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4841492153801514094-1972043105742044692?l=inglesventurarodriguez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4841492153801514094/posts/default/1972043105742044692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4841492153801514094/posts/default/1972043105742044692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inglesventurarodriguez.blogspot.com/2008/04/world-book-day.html' title='World Book Day'/><author><name>Departamento de Inglés</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12171767564370179074</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841492153801514094.post-8654170944683247843</id><published>2008-03-26T13:27:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-03-26T13:27:54.070+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bachillerato'/><title type='text'>Reported Speech (Bachillerato)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/exercises_list/reported.htm"&gt;Reported Speech&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4841492153801514094-8654170944683247843?l=inglesventurarodriguez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4841492153801514094/posts/default/8654170944683247843'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4841492153801514094/posts/default/8654170944683247843'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inglesventurarodriguez.blogspot.com/2008/03/reported-speech-bachillerato.html' title='Reported Speech (Bachillerato)'/><author><name>Departamento de Inglés</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12171767564370179074</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841492153801514094.post-281546736026883119</id><published>2008-03-13T20:26:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-13T23:47:56.560+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Trips'/><title type='text'>Boadilla del Monte / Port Chester Exchange Video Conference</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_u09GUJS7U-g/R9mCFDqRbcI/AAAAAAAAANc/3rU8ssjPWVw/s1600-h/webcam+Dag402.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 135px; height: 108px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_u09GUJS7U-g/R9mCFDqRbcI/AAAAAAAAANc/3rU8ssjPWVw/s200/webcam+Dag402.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177312270032661954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Today we held a video conference with the American students participating in the exchange program.
