Hello again everyone,
This topic isn't really connected to what were are doing in class but it's been something I've been thinking about recently. Where do you do your food shopping? Do you look at labels to see where the food has come from? I never used to but now after noticing that garlic in Pingo Doce comes from China, asparagus comes from Peru and peppers from Morocco I've started looking for things that are from Portugal - more difficult than it seems! What about you? Do you care about what you eat and where it comes from?
Looking forward to reading your entries

You and your family
Hello again everyone,
Hope you're all having a good week and you're not working too hard :)
This week's task is to write about you and your family. Are you like certain members of your family or are you different? Are you the black sheep of the family? Do you look like your mother or father (or none of them)? Do you take after any of them? Do you spend a lot of time with them or do you see them only every now and again?
Can't wait to read about you

Do you like an easy life?
Hi everyone!
Would you like to have the security of an easy life, where everything is predictable and you do the same things day after day and week after week? Or do you like to do something different every now and again to add a bit of spice to your life? Perhaps you do a dangerous sport, or change your partner every now and again :) (only joking!). Would you find life boring if there was no danger anywhere?
As for myself, it's a bit of both. I have to confess that for the most part my life is routine. But saying that, I do like to visit new places every year, try new food and meet new people when the opportunity arises. I think one of the things I would like to change, sometimes, is to leave everyday chores until the last minute, or even do things late, to leave time to do other things, I don't know whether it's a fault, or a British quality, or both (!) but I always tend to be on time for things.
Anyway, what about you?

A film I have seen recently
Hello everyone!
This week is about films and it would be a good idea if you could write about a film you saw recently.
I don't often go to the cinema and it's more usual for me to rent a film from Blockbusters or, if I like it, I might buy one from Amazon. Anyway, a recent one I bought from Amazon was 2046, a Chinese romance, by the director Wong Kar Wai. The cinematography is amazing and it's just like a piece of art, good art. The cast includes some of the most famous Chinese actors and actresses, like Maggie Cheung, Ziyi Zhang and Tony Leung - I don't know whether you've heard of them. The plot is based in the future but it's really about the past and this can make it difficult to understand. It makes you think, though. I'd give it 5 stars.

First class
Hello everyone!
Welcome back to the 'bestclassblog' to all those that are returning and a big welcome to all the new students.
As we haven't got a topic yet I suggest you just write something about your summer. Maybe you went away or maybe you didn't. That doesn't matter, just write and tell everyone what you got up to.
Looking forward to reading about you
Paul
