BODY AS AN EXPRESSION!!

Today we and my classmates decided to work on a very beautiful Project: BODY CULTURE.
We are concerned about our students. So, we are interested in encourage them to know about themselves. First of all, they need to know their closest reality : HIS/HER BODY.
This study will focused on  four main dimentions: body as a tool, body through history, body as environment and body as communication.
My point of view will be centered on body as expression or communication.

MY EXPERIENCE WORKING AS A PUBLIC ENGLISH TEACHER

Medellín, June 4th

I have been working in Santa Elena for about 4 years.
 
A holiday in Britain

Staycation

These days people have less and less money to spend on luxuries, things like holidays, for example. So, when they have some time off work, some are choosing to stay at home, instead of flying, or driving perhaps to the beach or mountains, maybe to another country. It's a staycation, a combination of the words stay and vacation.

Particularly if you live in a big city, you might not get time to enjoy everything that it has to offer in terms of entertainment – to go to the theatre, to concerts or just to go sightseeing. So a staycation might be an attractive idea.

Other reasons to take a staycation might be having very young children, or perhaps you want to make some home improvements, like redecorating. In any case, a staycation will almost certainly save you money! I have some friends from the US who come over to London every year or so and stay with me – so I regularly take some time off and have a staycation. Sometimes I visit them in Seattle, and they have a staycation.
