First April week

This week we are still hungover from last Friday...
On Tuesday we continued doing the practice from de last week, we did exercises about linking word and changing the meaning of the phrases using the correct connectors. We did this via internet in some webs and in a handouts too.

On Wednesday the teacher continued explaining the theory unit 3 and we ended it. The last part of the unit 3 was one text for reading and comprehension about the marketing and the teenagers. After that we had to find many synonyms in the text and answer some true or false statements.

Paellas week and weekend in Madrid!

This is a very special week for the EPSA students, maybe this is the most special week.
In the practice class on Tuesday we did exercises of linking words with connectors, express cause and effect and contrast. We did that in some web pages. We read a text for reading and comprehension too.

In the theory class on Wednesday we corrected the homework from last week and listened several speeches from different companies.

The paellas had to be thursday but was postponed by rain to friday. Paellas is the main festival for all the EPSA members, it also are known like a Pumpkin festival, I don't know why...
The paellas consists in each class makes its paella for lunch and all the members of the class wear the same t-shirt with a joke or a funny phrase printed on it. The paellas are celebrated in the parking of the university and this year the festival started at ten o'clock and finished at eight o'clock. Paellas are my favorite festival!

This week my team and I won the paellas cup from the futsal competition! It was great and we had to receive the cup the paellas day.

After paellas I had to go to Madrid by train to be with the family business at the fair of Madrid related with pastry and confectionery and accessories. Here you have some photos from paellas and the fair of Madrid:


Another week!
