AND THE OSCAR GOES TO ...   

Hi and welcome back!
Here we are again. Christmas holidays are over and we are back full of energy and willing to become movie stars!! Yes, the Oscars ceremony is getting nearer and all my students are preparing different film scenes as a speaking exercise for this second term. It's being a really motivating way of encouring them to speak and act while having fun! We will have the opportunity to see them in the following days. But watch out! The next Penélope Cruz or the next Bardem may come out from this wonderful experience!
