1 to 1 tuition

The help of my teacher Andrew Holister (just with a "l") was very important to make me more confident in my English learning experience.

I understood very well his accent and he was very patient with me. Then, in our "One to one tuition" I could resolve a lot of doubts and corrige the mistakes and misunderstandings that I did all the time.

He began showing me the questions that all the people made me whithout stop, the basic questions made to know new people. And the rigth answers, certainly!

One day, after lunch

Bell School Cambridge is a multicultural place with all kind of students. There I had the opportunity to meet people from China, Taiwan, Japan, Turkey, Georgia, Colombia, Belgium, Italia, Holland,... and Spain, of course. Seventeen years old and middle-aged than me, students, managers, teachers, politiciens, writers... everybody with the same aim: to improve English.
Sometimes, out of the blue, piano players like Stefano Ambroglio showed us his particular skills:

Soap Opera

The first activity in my first morning class was to practice English skills with the Soap Opera like subject. We began researching about the name "Soap Opera" with the help of Wikipedia. Then, I learned that the original sponsors of serial broadcasts on radio were Colgate-Palmolive and other soap manufacturers. Also we watched in Youtube the Hollyoaks episode "Max dies".

Then, our teacher, John Page, gave us the instructions to work in groups of three students. We must Design our own soap opera and to presente and to play our own screens and dialogs.
Probably, the funniest was Levant, Gena and Jason Group, but I didn't can apreciate their story. At the second week, I arrived to understand just a little bit their Turkish, Korean and Taiwaneese accents.



This week, I worked hard at home to write a scene of "Secrets and lies". All was quite difficult to me, but funny!

Bell School

Bell School Cambridge is near Addenbrooks Hospital. I wen to the school by bus every day.

I had problems to measure time in minutes and seconds like British people usually do. In my mediterranean way of life, minimum unit of time is 5 minutes. But 5 minutes more or less is an enormous quantity of time in a place where punctuality is a great value.

Not to be late, usually I'd come very early in the morning. The first day, with one hour in advance!
