A BASKETBALL PLAYER WITH US


Today, we have been visited by Jordi Grimau Gragera from Blancos de Rueda basketball team. He has spent some time with us answering our questions (some of them in English!)
He has been very kind and has encouraged the kids to study. "The life as a basketball player is very short"- he said- "You need to prepare for your future". For this reason, he is currently studying a Psychology degree. Great example for our students!

SHORT ANSWERS IN ENGLISH

I know that for us, Spanish people, it's strange to say that "Yes, I am", "No, I'm not", "Yes, they have", "No, she hasn't", etc. are short answers.
As you, my pupils, would say, a short answer is just "yes" or "no". But English language is a different language and has its own rules, so let's learn and practice!

ITALOBROTHERS


"ItaloBrothers is a German dance group, the band consists of three members named Zacharias Adrian, Kristian Sandberg and Matthias Metten (vocalist). Mistakenly "ItaloBrothers" are often classified as a band from Italy, because of their name.
The band was founded in November 2005. The musical style of "Italobrothers" is comparable with Italian dance bands. Their single "Stamp on the ground" is one of their best songs." (Urban Dictionary)
Now you can listen to the song and sing the lyrics. You have them on "songs".
