LATEST NEWS and gratifications. I am happy because at this moment James has sent me a whatsApp from Malta and tells me that he is in Malta and he does not like it very much, and that he tries to come back and asks me if he can return to my house in July. This is good news for me, because I think I can improve my English much. Because, although I study a lot, it is not enough to improve, I think it is necessary to live in English. For this reason, I have to talk with my family and talk about James's request. For all this, I want to say, and the Eoi school, thanks for your time, your classes and to introduce me to James, a person with whom I think that I will always be friends.

WATCHING TV SERIES: Bad BLOOD I started watching this series one or two months ago, but I could not finish seeing it because I had many things to do, like studying grammar, talking a lot with James, preparing my official exam, etc. But now I have more time, until the intensive summer course begins so now it will be time to finish seeing the rest of the chapters.

I had also sometimes visited the spaces to talk with Olivia to prepare the speaking task with my classmates.
VISITING MONTSERRAT FOR LISTENING THE SPECIAL RECITAL OF "ESCOLANIA DE MONTSERRAT" CHOUR'S. I went to Montserrat to visit the mountain and the cathedral of Montserrat on April 27 with my husband and James. April 27 is a special day because it is the day of the virgin. We were invited to the special concert in memory of Anselm Ferrer, my husband's uncle. Master Ferrer was an important member of the monastery of Montserrat and for several years he was the director of "Escolania". He was also an important composer of music to be sung by the choir. "L'escolania" is a choir of white voices that has international prestige and that on that day they sang songs created by Anselm Ferrer. Being the Mother of God day, we could hear a concert of all the bells of the monastery, whose sound filled the whole space, which was a striking experience. I had to explain many things from Montserrat to James and, in my opinion, he...
VISITING PLACES AND MUSEUMS As lovers of our small country and our culture, my husband and I wanted to show James a beautiful place that could also have an artistic interest for him.

In the Mar i Cel museum, James and I started a fun game, I read aloud all the description in the museum in Englis, of course, and then he read aloud in catalan. This innocent game made me realize that both, a Catalan learn English or a British, learn Catalan, we have had the same difficulties. I thought that was a clever mean to learn and feel that we were sharing our knowledg...

Februay / April 2019. STRONG MEDICINE. I started reading this book on several occasions. It is a story about the death of a scientist. To be honest, I have to admit that the book I did not like. Finally, I read this book with James, at the end of April, which corrected me to my pronunciation.

CONCERT OF ROCK AND ROLL DIRECT One of the best friends, Monica sings a rock and roll band, but I have no chance to listen to her because they usually don't sing in Barcelona. However, in April they sang in the Sala Monasterio, near the Olympic Port of Barcelona, and I went with my husband and three more couples. In this concert, everyone could sing aloud, because the band asked that we share the repertoire, that is why we sang, Rot Steward, Queen, Rollins Stones, Tina Turner and others.
SPEAK CORNER. I'm a member of student associations and I can always go to the conversation corner to speak for an hour with other classmates under the guide of Joan, our teacher . This is an interesting activity, but sometimes I can not go because I think we have few classes in a work-compatible schedule.
