MONOLOGUE 3A5 

ACTIVITIES YOU DO WITH PEOPLE YOU KNOW WELL 

I am going to talk about the things that I usually do with my friends Juan and Carla. 

They have a son and my two children really enjoy being with him so we all meet often. 

My family usually go to their apartment and they often have lunch at home on Sundays and we talk. It’s always good to see them!  

I usually go shopping with Carla. We both like to go to the shopping mall in the city centre of town. It has lots of shops and it’s easy to find things. My favourite shop is there. Their clothes are usually comfortable and they aren´t very expensive. I always buy my clothes there but Helga doesn’t like this shop and she never buys there. 

We all go hiking once a month and also about twice a year we go away for a weekend. We always have fun together! 

MONOLOGUE:  DAILY ROUTINE FROM MONDAY TO FRIDAY 

I’m going to talk about a day in my life. 

I live in Boecillo with my husband and my two sons. I usually wake up at 7:15 in the morning and I get up at 7:30. Then I wake up my children. 

 We always have breakfast at 8:00, they often have a cup of milk with biscuits and for my breakfast I have some fruit and a cup of coffee a few biscuits 

After that we walk to the bus stop at 8:30 then I go to work by car, it often takes me to get to work less than twenty minutes an d I work from nine o´clock in the morning until tree o’clock in the afternoon. 

My sons arrive home at 14:15 pm, and when I arrive home, we all have lunch but my husband sometimes works at that time and we don’t have lunch together. We always eat bread and a lot of vegetables. 

In the afternoon we all tidy up our rooms and my husband and I also make lunch and my sons always do their homework, when they finish, they play with their friends in the street. Also they play basket twice a week. 

I practice yoga from 8:00 to 9:00 in the evening on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

I usually go to bed at about 12:00 at night  

  

MONOLOGUE:  WHAT TECHNOLOGY GADGETS HAVE YOU GOT? 

I’m going to talk about the technology gadgets what I have got. 

I have got all the king of them: A laptop, a computer, two tablets, a satnav, a digital camera, a video camera... but the Smartphone is the most useful gadget that I use all the time, because I do a lot of things with only one gadget and it is smaller and easier to use than any other more specific device. 

I use my Smartphone to talk about my friends, send the emails and visit a website from anywhere mainly and also I take photos or videos with the camera on my mobile.  These photos are OK but they’re not fantastic. The digital camera takes really good photos!! 

If you want to listen to music or to see watch films, you can too, but Smartphone screen is small. 

I can use my Smartphone when I need a map and don’t have my satnav in my car 

I have got a tablet, a phone, a digital camera, a satnav with just a Smartphone!! 

Places to visit in my city.

Hello, I AM  goING to talk about places in my city, in Valladolid.

My fauvorite place is the Science Museum. Is a beautiful and interestinc place for TO go with your children (or alone), and learning LEARN new things. There, there's a big 360 degrees screen where you can see a stars and galaxies on a movie.

In Valladolid you can visit others museums too, SUCH AS THE Colon museum OR Cervantes' house.

They were important personALITIES to the Spanish history.

There are places witch WHICH I haven't seen, for instance THE Sculpture Museum and THE Patio HerrERIANO becAuse for THE MOMENT, they aren't interesting places to me.

If you want, you can go to the beach. Yes!! In Valladolid we've got a beach, where you can SWIM,  playing PLAY football, playing OR volleyball, and go to swimming SWIM, but this last I don't recommend to you.

Finally, I want to talk about the restaurants and their food. In Valladolid you can find a lot of good places for lunch and the best chefs FROM ALL OVER Spain. In the center of the city, there are many restaurants very close to one another, it's imposible don't  NOT TO find one.

Childhood hobbies

Hi, my name is Óscar, and her name is Mª Antonia. We are some students at the Official Language School of Laguna de Duero, and we´re going to talk about our childhood hobbies.

When I was thirteen years old, I had some hobbies, but the most important hobbies were two, swimming and playING the guitar.

I started to swim at about the eighth course of PRIMARY SCHOOl. I swam in the  swimming pool of Huerta del Rey sports center. I went FOR about one hour,  twice a week. I enjoyed swimming crowl and butterfly.

I always went from home to THE swimming pool by bus and I returned walking. However, my father sometimes waited at the exit and we came back home by car.

My other hobbie WAS PLAYING THE GUITAR. I played the guitar FOR four years. I went to A guitar school on MondayS and WednesdayS. They (THOSE) were the best days of the week. I began playING songs SUCH as Little Bells, Christmas Carols and Anonymous Romance.

The sound is not very good  but it’s something  original.

The  winner  will act in the  main square of Valladolid  days  after.  This year  actued  Quinto Elemento.  They are five  boys of twenty  years of Laguna de Duero.  The Singer is myhusband’s cousin.
