TEACHERS

There is a teacher in our school that i remember a lot. He is Jeronimo, the music teacher, and his lessons and particulary his exams were so special.

He was so original in his lessons, and we were laughing most of the time because of his sense of humor. However, when a situation needed seriousness, he was so strict, and he didn't allow us anything, we couldn't speak or laugh.

So that what i specially remember is an anecdote doing an exam, at secon school year. 

This exam was a little difficult, but i had studied a lot. I  was writing a lot and i was much satisfied with my work done. When i finished it, i started doing something different like homework or studying. But some people were not finished yet, so Jeronimo wanted us to be quiet. I had a question about my homework, so i asked William because both of us were finished and i thought that we could speak at that moment. But we couldn't. Jeronimo got very angry, because he had explained his rules in exams many times, and  we always had to be absolutely quiet. So that he put me two points less in the exam, and i was so ungry because i did it very well and i had studied a lot.

In conclusion, i may say that i had fun a lot with him, but in exams weren't place for jokes and speaking. You had to be concentrated and absolutely quiet if you didn't want to have two points less in your exam.

EARLIEST MEMORIES

     Earliest memories is the first idea that came to my mind when people say "bilingual group", like the first meeting, the first english lesson...
     My first memory was my first day in high school. I met some friends there, like Bufa, Gonzalo, Luis... I knew some of them from our last school, and others from playing football in our local team. I was so excited.

The first day, bell sang and all of us came into the center. We were waiting our new teacher at the corridor, and later, we came into the class. Then, Miss Celis started doing the checking, and she explained us a little about the bilingual proyect.
We were sat in alphabetic order, and i was with Carmen and Samara. I knew Carmen, because she was in my last school and she was also my neighbour, but we didn´t know Samara, and we were so quiet because any of us knew what to say. All the people were very nervous.
It was a short day, with instructions about our bilingual proyect and our first year in high school.

     My second earliest memory was the second day, our first day of class. We started it with Isabel Celis, and it was very shocking because she started speaking in english, and nobody understood her. Despite being very scared, we realized that we had to work a lot there.
    
     To conclude, i want to say that those earliest memories were only the beggining of a large and very beautiful period in our lifes and in our studies, the bilingual proyect.
