One ear in front of the other???

Ana´s translation sounded convincing, but apart from "he hasn´t got a good ear for music" or "he´s tone deaf" I don´t know whether there´s another common expression. While I was driving home, the expression " as deaf as a post" sprang to mind, but that´s for hearing (or lack of it) in general. How about "he gave me an earful"; what do you think it means? See you!

Specially for Pepe

I´m sorry to say that I won' t be able to continue doing the course or the immersion course at the weekend as I won' t be able to end all the course's hours. The woman whom I substitute comes back to high school next week. I don´t know where I will be then.
Thank you for everything.

Well done, everybody!

My father felt quite at home chatting away to you all today. He has noticed that the level of language learning has greatly improved since he first visited Spain. Congratulations -you represent a new breed of language learners who know a hell of a lot of English and have a deep understanding of the culture, too. Keep up the good work!
By the way, thanks to Milagros for bringing in her Acetre music and the photos. That was relaxing !
I´m watching a news programme at the moment and they´re talking about the 13-year-old British girl with leukemia who wants to die in peace; she´s fed up of living in hospitals. Should she be allowed to end her life? What do you think?
Ah, on the subject of medicine, remind me to tell you a story about contraception.Have a good week/weekend. Ayaz.

A joke for Russel

Then here were two friends(men) who were speaking about their life .And then one of them asked the other ,does your wife shout when she is making love?

Of course she does,I can hear her shouting from the pub.

Music (Ayaz)

Are you into hip-hop or soul ? Do you dig jazz or rhythm and blues ? Or do you just sing along to any kind of music ? On Wednesday we´ll be looking a little closer at what music makes you feel great or want to cry your heart out. Bring some music along to class if you want to.
I hope our foreign visitor will be able to attend as planned.You might want to ask him about the situation (present and historical) in his country.

A FUNNY HALLOWEEN NIGHT?

Thay can still remember perfectly the night of 31st October of 2005. Mark and his friends went to spend the night to a beautiful but mysterious country house. Their plans were to have a Halloween party. Everybody wore scary costumes and they looked very happy in that house full of frightening decorations.It was really a great party, it had been worth spending so much time to prepare everything for that special night.Ten friends were going to meet there for an unforgettable Halloween night. They were dancing and having some drinks in the living room when a girl started to cry and to ask for help, she had seen something that did not seem to her a Halloween decoration. It was a knife full of blood,it was in the kitchen. But nobody cared about her, people laughed at her, they thought she had drunk too much wine.The girl went out of the house as soon as she could in order to get into her car and drive home. However, when she was downstairs, she saw the knife full of blood again,but this time,a mysterious man had the knife in his hand and he was running towards her calling her name with a strange voice: "Susan, Susan!", he said. The girl was so frightened that she ran upstairs again and entered the room asking people for help. Now the rest of her friends could see the man holding the knife, they stopped dancing and looked at him with terror and panic in their eyes. The man went nearer and nearer, he went towards the table where there were a lot of, different drinks. Then he took a glass and filled it with some wine still with the knife in his right hand. People didn't know what to do, they couldn't go out of the room as he was near the door and they didn't have enough courage to try to hit him.They were only some young people trying to have some fun on a Halloween night.At last, Mark jumped towards him, he wanted to take the knife away from him. But when the man saw him jumping towards him, he said: "Hi, Mark, this is a great party, sorry for being late,my car stopped in the road and I have come on foot, I think I've got a caugh,it' s so cold tonight. Well, I was thirsty, I went to the kitchen and I didn't find anything to drink. I saw Jane downstairs, I called her, but she ran and ran,she seemed crazy, what has she been drinking? Then,I followed her and here you were, it's incredible the way you have acted when I have entered the room. Oh! it's a perfect Halloween night". People couldn't believe it, the man was just one of his friends,Martin, he looked so scary dressed in that costume, with that horrible mask and with that knife......They finally greeted him and laughed until Mark said "We are 10 in the group, so if he is Martin, there is someone among us who isn't our friend!!Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Soca music (Ayaz)

Homework is to find out about "soca" music on the bbclearningenglish.com page (click on the music section) and listen to some people expressing their views. What do soca fans say instead of "party" ?
Did you have a good weekend. Did you manage to see Russel´s film? I couldn´t find my kids in time to be able to go to the cinema because they were out trick-and-treating. I´ll have to ask him to lend me the film. It sounds scary! See you Wednesday!
