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.
What about you?

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

Hello again!
Dear all,
No, I hadn't forgotten you all :) . I've just had so many problems getting internet at the flat I bought that I spent the whole summer without internet. It was actually quite nice being 'low-tech' for a change, doing lots of reading, entertaining visitors and visiting lovely places close to Porto, like Pinhão for example.
Anyway, I'm back at work today (Judite, unfortunately I've missed your dinner but please invite me to your next one :) ) and preparing myself for teaching, which begins at the end of this month. There's a possibility that I'll be your teacher (I can hear you saying 'oh, no!' already) to take you through to First Certificate but that will be confirmed next week.
Anyway, how was everyone's holidays?
Lots of love to everyone

Knoc...Knoc...Knoc...is anybody there?
Well...are all of you on holidays???!!!
Are all of you so busy???!!!
Did you forget we are a team???!!
I'm very happy because I'm going on holidays soon:-)))
Last week I was in Galiza, a mix of fun and work. Now, I'm City Ambassador (Porto)of Couchsurfing, it means more work, more responsability but also travelling more and more fun:-)))) I'm really busy...but happy!!
I didn't decide yet if I'd go to the British Council next school-year. I'm thinking about private lessons, it depends on the price...
I hope hearing from all of you soon, even you are in Tonga Islands :-))))

last lesson :(
Hello everyone!
Just a few thoughts about our last lesson of the year next Monday. I don't know if you'll all agree but how about bringing some photos from your past in to talk about informally? I could bring in photos of my family in Manchester and even photos from my school days (that's a long time ago :) ) . I would love to see some family photos from your past but you could bring in photos from your travels too. The photos could be either hard copies or digital - up to you. What do you think?
Also you mentioned bringing something to eat in. Use this blog to say what you're going to bring!
Enjoy your day off tomorrow!
Paul
