SYDNEY TOWER

 SYDNEY TOWER There are 6 different section in the Sydney Tower website.   Accessibility Schools Events Latest news Contact us The section I prefer and the one I am more interested in is the Events one because you can do thing you can’t imagine. You can do any type of event you want. From doing yoga with your group of friends watching the Sydney skyscrapers, to having a private party. Although it can be very expensive and not everyone can afford it, it is an experience of a lifetime.

LISTENING REBECCA

 LISTENING REBECCA My mark was 4 out of 4 answers correct. It was really easy because in the following tab from the listening you had the listening written down so you could read it and it was really useful.

Question Tags

QUESTION TAGS Question tags are grammatical elements that are placed at the end of a sentence in the form of a short question and whose structure is opposed to the previous sentence. Today in class we have learnt a very important grammatical element that is very useful when speaking english. It’s true that there are some tags that don’t follow the rule and sometimes may seem difficult but this always happen in every language, there are some exceptions. In the small exam we have done today my mark was a 19 out of 23 possible points.    This are some rules to do them correctly: If the main part of the sentence is positive, we add a negative question tag and the other way round. If the sentence contains an auxiliary verb or modal verb, we use that for the questions tag if it appears in the main part of the sentence. …

ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RBG If you want to adopt a bench for ten years you would have to pay 6.000£. They will attach a plaque to the bench and they’ll also give you a certificate. They have got lots of benefits including the RBG magazine delivered by email or post three times per year. The ant plant got his name due to the fact that ants life inside the plant. I think it’s curious that the ant and the plant help each other so they both benefit. The plant provides ants with food and shelter and the ants help the plant with  pollination and seed dispersal.

SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE

● Transport: Where can you catch buses, trains and ferries near Sydney Opera House? ● Tour: If your families went on the tour, how much would they have to pay to get in? ● Sydney Opera House History: Who designed and created the Sydney Opera House? What else can you find about the creator? ● World Heritage: When was Sydney Opera House included in the UNESCO World Heritage List? ● Sydney Opera House Insiders: How  I would like to attend to a theatre play rather than a concert because the music they play in this wonderful monument doesn’t interests me. I do like watching series and movies thats why I would love to assist to a theatre. Even  though the tickets for entering the Opere House are really expensive, I would pay around 100 dollars. We have to keep in mind that it is one of the most visited place in all Australia.  The building has a large number of entertainment halls, covering more than 1,500 performances a year attended by more tha

THE ROCKS

Do The Rocks Markets open on weekdays? Yes they do, they open Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 5 pm. Which bus stop do you have to get off at to get to The Rocks. For buses, you have to get off the bus at Bridge Street and Head north to The Rocks.  Which shop are you most interested in? Why? I’m really interested in a shop called Aussie Outback. I choose this shop because every time I travel to a different country, I buy a souvenir for my family. In this shop you’ll find a huge range of products, exclusive for Australia and Sydney.

DARLING HARBOUR

SEA LIFE AQUARIUM (SYDNEY) There are unlimited things to do in this beautiful place. I’m really keen on sealife and water activities so the best activity you could do in Darling Harbour in Sydney would be for me the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium. This aquarium has a lot of variety on animals and species. It is the perfect activite for a relaxed evening with your family.

“Look, there’s a koala over there!”

QUESTIONS 1st = Everybody can save up to 20% in their booking online. A group of 8 teenagers would have to spend 216 pounds. Each one spends 27 pounds. 2nd = You actually can spend the night at the taronga zoo. They offer two types of accommodation, Roar and Snore, an unforgettable safari-style overnight experience featuring intimate animal encounters and fascinating keeper talks and the Wildlife retreat at Taronga, an elegant Australian eco-retreat where you can revel in the natural beauty of the bushland. 3rd = It includes a  premium tour that will be taken by one of the zoos zookeepers and allows tourists to enjoy the Australian Wildlife. This tour is twice a day in a reduced group. 4rd = I personally think that every zoo is different and all of them tried to encourage you to go there telling you that it is a unique experience. That’s why I wouldn't pay so much for just a visit with animals although the idea of staying to sleep there would be great. I wouldn't recommend ...

HYDE PARK

 ANSWEARING THE QUETIONS ABOUT THE FOTO What I can see in the foto is an old man and a young boy playing a giant chest. They seem to enjoy this game so i think they would come to the park every weekend to walk and to have run in this game. The variety or the activities you can do not only in this park but in any park is many. For example, you can do some exercise by running through the paths of the park or just walk on a relaxed morning. You can also play some cards in one of the benches you can find. I have a huge park near my house which is called “parque de Doña Casilda” and even has ducks in it. I am not personally a huge fan of hanging out in a park so me and my friend normally meet near the guggenheim museum. Since I haven't exercised much these last few months because of the injury I had in my knee, I will start going to run a bit to the park I spoke about earlier.

REFLECTION ABOUT THE LISTENING (MARK 75/100)

LISTENING It is clear that of the 2 parts that the listening consisted of, the first part was much more difficult than the second one because you had to choose more than one correct answer and if they weren’t all correct you would not get the point of the question. While in the 2nd part, only one answer was correct and that’s why it was easier compared with the first part in my opinion. I did badly the first part but much better the second part.

ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES

Imagen
ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES The piece of art I will write about is a painting called Chaucer at the Court of Edward III. The author of this painting is called Ford Madox Brown and he is no longer alive. I chose it because it was the first piece of art bought by the art gallery in 1871. At that time it was considered one of the biggest and most important paintings. Seems like a joke but the painting was sold for 50£. Although back in the past inflation was very little, if we convert that money to the actual now it was not expensive because it costs nearly 2000€.

QVB SHOP / POLO RALPH LAUREN

Imagen
                 POLO RALPH LAUREN In this giant shopping center there are all type of shops from low cost shops to really expensive shops. The shop I chose is Polo Ralph Lauren which is a designer brand I really like. I first got interested in this shop when my parents bought me a t-shirt which I still have. It is situated in the first floor and they sell formal clothes like polos, trausers and hats mainly for men. They also have clothes for woman but that has been a result for the progress of the brand during the years but when they started they just sell men clothes. I would buy for me a black jacket which I’m in love with. Although It’s a bit expensive I’ve been looking for it for The brand's name come from de Asian sport that is also called Polo.

Many families cannot afford such high expenses, however, the school uniform has positive implications for boys and girls. A very positive aspect of wearing a uniform is that school uniforms help reduce negative comparisons between students of different economic backgrounds, which helps increase students self-esteem and provides them with a sense of community.  Also, you do not have to think about what clothes you are going to wear every morning. There is only one option, the uniform. Related to this, you also don’t have to worry about buying so many clothes. They are wearing the uniform 5 days a week,...

SYDNEY’S MONOLOGUE

Imagen
  MONOLOGUE Sydney is a beautiful city where every corner holds a wonderful place and each step has history. The most famous place in Sydney is the opera house which I would love to visit. Although this monument is really famous there are many other charming places like the Sydney harbor bridge or the Sydney tower. I have never been to Australia before but my English teacher who was born there says that he loved living there and that it is the perfect place to visit. Another reason to visit this huge country is because it is in a continent which I have never visited but this is also a con because it is really far away from Bilbao and traveling there is very expensive.    ASIER ZARRA
