Online Workbook

These last days I have studied for my tasks. One way to review has been to do the Online Workbook exercises. It is a very useful tool.

Ordering coffee in the morning

I usually drink a cup of coffee or other beverage before going to work. A few days ago there is a new waitress because the other one is pregnant. She is a very nice Swedish girl. Last week he saw me doing homework and asked me what I study. I told her that I study English and then she answered me in perfect English and suggested I practice with her.

We normally have this short dialogue:

- Hi!
- Good morning! Could I have a decaf latte with room temperature milk, please?
- Do you want something to eat?
- No, thanks.
- Here you go.
- Thank you
- You're welcome

I'm trying not to always ask the same. I found a very complete list: cafe-infusions-llet-i-xocolate

Racó film literari

The Film-literary Corner of February was dedicated to the film The Talented Mr. Ripley. I was in the activity with my classmates Mary and Anna.

Masterclass by Richard Vaughan

Last week I listened to Vaughan Radio  an advertisement. It was about a free masterclass by Richard Vaughan in Barcelona. I looked on more information in the web and I filled in a inscription form.

I went yesterday.  It was a very interesting experience.

Captain Phillips

I watched a movie based on the Captain Richard Phillips true story. In 2009 his cargo ship was hijacked by Somali pirates. The MV Maersk Alabama was the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years.
