  1. hello javi!! I'm ines and i've got a problem: I can't record my exercise about the news so I'm going to write it.
    Here it is:

    There is a man who has a specially dream: he wants to make a car out of a banana. Well, it’s more than it; he wants to make a car with a banana shape. This man knows that most people think it’s a stupid idea but he is going to continue with his project because a banana car is his dream.

    Last moth there was a devasting earthquake in Haiti and because of that thousands of schools were destroyed. Now , some weeks after that last catastrophe, classes has started again for a lot of students. They are learning to write and to read in French.

    A tea party convention is going to be celebrated in the USA. We're talking about the Tea Party political movement. It’s a meeting where some groups talk about politic and economy, and take decisions. And the point is that Tea means taxed enough already.

  2. OK Inés,
    I've read your comment and it is good. Let's see if you can solve your technical problems soon, since the idea is to practice speaking rather than writing.
    Javier
