Blog Challenge. What's your story?
Here's another post in English in response to the blog challenge proposed by super tweep + elt teacher + blogger Vicky Loras. The point is writing about some kind of turning point in our life and/or career, so, I'm going to tell you about how I had to decide - in a matter of hours - whether to take up (again) a career as a secondary education teacher or to stick to a juicy full time contract at a graphic design studio. You know the end of the story, so here's a flashback to the beginning.
Right after getting my BA degree in Linguistics I moved to London so as to brush up my English and to earn some cash by joining the bar staff of a busy pub in Fulham. My parents weren't very pleased and, as soon as the oposiciones exams (in Spain, if you want to get a public-sector job you have to sit a highly competitive exam) were announced, they suggested I should go back to Spain and try my luck. I hadn't planned to become a teacher and, surprisingly enough, I was quite happy taking food orders and serving draught lager in the UK; nevertheless, I took notice of my parents' advice, did the exam and... passed it! As I had no previous teaching experience, I could not obtain a life-long position (that's the way it works in Spain), but I was soon hired for a whole school year. At first, the situation was kind of hard to handle: early evening shift, teaching Spanish, English and some Geography, too, and most students older than me. However, I started to feel really at ease with my new job: I enjoyed being with students in class, chatting with colleagues in the staff room, lesson planning... Time flew by, school year ended and I had to take that hideous exam again if I wanted to remain a candidate; but, on that second occasion, I wasn't lucky and I did terribly bad at it. So, no contract signing for me :( and, as I had to make a living, I decided to move on. After working as a shop assistant in a toy shop and some English grinds, I was offered a job as layout artist in a graphic design studio; I really enjoy photography, graphic design and art, so I was really happy working in front of a computer resizing pictures, working on animations or doing some package design. And even happier as the number of customers grew and money started to flow in $_$.
But there was something missing and, more often than not, I found myself thinking about my school days (as a teacher). Then, one day my boss told me they'd been thinking about broadening my contract, which meant better work conditions and higher wages. Great news! I could see myself as some sort of white collar worker, attending meetings and wearing ties. But there was still that little bit missing... Next morning - and that was a most amazing coincidence - I received a phone call from some school based about 500 kilometres north from where I was living then, offering a six-month substitution. I told them I had a job at the moment and needed some time to think about it and they replied they could not wait, so I was compelled to make a decision that very morning and call them back within three hours, otherwise they'd pass the offer on to someone else. I hanged up the phone, started sweating, went out of the office, kept on sweating, went for a coffee, ordered a beer and, after about an hour of thinking (not too carefully, to be true) over it, I made up my mind.
This blog is called Alumnos IES Fernando III (which means Fernando III School Students), so I think I can skip the rest.
Note to students: Read the text carefully: some comprehension follow up activities due in class soon :)

160 characters story contest
Here's the post for the SMS contest. You know: you have to write a (very) short story using no more than 160 characters - including blank spaces; abbreviations, such as CU (for see you) or emoticons :) if they are easy to interpret. You can post your mini-tales to the comments row - remember: anonymous messages will be discarded. The deadline will be set Friday 14th October at midnight. A group of teachers will vote for the best stories.
So, on your marks..., get set..., ready... Go!!!
Drag'n'drop
Hice este ejercicio en flash hace años y se ha quedado un poco anticuado, pero quería compartirlo. Forma parte de un todo que no he publicado aquí, así que hay botones que no llevan a ninguna parte (los dos que hay en la parte inferior de la pantalla y el verde con el texto "go" que aparecerá si resuelves correctamente la actividad). Ahora os doy en inglés las instrucciones para hacer la actividad, que, básicamente, consiste en escuchar la grabación en la que el personaje cuenta qué ropa ha perdido y arrastrar la prenda del color adecuado al sitio que corresponda.
Jim's lost his colthes and he wants you to help him find them. So, turn up the volume, click the "play" button and listen to Jim. Then drag the correct items and drop them on the right place. There's no way to pause the recording, so hold on until it's finished if you want to play it again. Either if you're right or wrong, Jim will tell you. I'll be waiting for your feedback :)

Tutorial audioboo
Hola de nuevo. Algunos habéis comentado en clase que no os enterabais muy bien de cómo podíais grabar y compartir un mensaje de voz utilizando Audioboo. Pues bien, aquí os dejo un videotutorial que acabo de hacer, a ver si os sirve de ayuda. Creo que está todo bastante claro, así que subid el volumen del equipo y dadle a "play". La dirección de la web de esta aplicación es audioboo.fm, por si no se ve bien en el vídeo. Después de esto ya no tenéis excusa, chicos... ;)
Os aconsejo que veáis el vídeo en modo pantalla completa.
