We would like to go on learning new things and improving our classes next year.For that reason, we need your help. Answer the following survey and let us know what you liked and didn't like. Thank you!

Looking for an ending for "The Red Dress" story

The students from Beginner level have been working very hard trying to find pictures to illustrate the story they have been reading in class. They have finally finished their project and they would like to share it with all of you. Why don't you take some time to answer the questions they have prepared? You can also help us to find a good ending for the story. Invent one and post it in Voice Thread. Remember that, as we said last week, you can leave your comments typing, recording your voice with a mic or even using your webcam.
Here is the story, ENJOY!

Can you tell me the way to...?

Have you ever been lost? Have you ever been unable to remember how to get to a certain place? I'm sure that you have all been through that experience. But what if that happens when you are abroad? It is a must to know how to ask for directions. For that reason, here you have a short video from which you can pick up some useful expressions.

Now that you know the appropriate vocabulary, you are ready to visit "The City of Lights" and have a wonderful experience there. Yes, we are going to Paris.

Let's play the new Nokia game: "The Passenger" and see if we can find our ways around it. I'll be waiting for you there. Join us in our trip!

Tell us what you think about the game. VOTE:

Can you guess the ADJECTIVE?


We have recieved plenty of Google Montages related to adjectives. (If you want, you still have time to send us yours to challengeeducation@gmail.com.) We have created our own "Guess the Google" on Voice Thread, a web page in which you can leave comments by voice, text and audio file.

Why don't you participate in our game? We have left some clues to make it easier for you to answer. Leave your guesses...

Can you Guess the Google?




















I'm sure that you usually use Google to search for information. In order to do that, you have to type a key word and google does the search for you. Today I propose you a new challenge: to reverse the process. Here you can see a montage of photographs that are the result of a google search. Can you guess which two words I have typed to get this result? HELP: It is related to Challenge Language School.
If you liked it, in this webpage you will find a game to go on guessing. In "Guess the Google" you must guess what keyword made up the image. Enter the page, click on "launch project" and start playing. Why don't give it a try? If you are fast, you will get to the top scorers board.
Now, I was wondering that maybe you can make your own creations. Why don't you prepare your own google montage, with a key word that represents you? In order to do it:
1) Enter this webpage: Montage a Google.
2) Click on "Launch a Project"
3) Enter the keyword and click on search
4) Click on create a montage
5) Now to save it in yur computer press Ctrl and "Prt sc" or "Impr pant"(if you do not know where to find this key here you can see a picture of it on a keyboard)
6) Paste it into your favourite photo or paint programme, such as paint , microsoft photo editor and others.
7) Send it to challengeeducation@gmail.com
We will post your creations soon and we will be able to have a game of our own.
See you next week. Do not forget to participate in our forum discussions.
