Thank you all for joining!!!

WE'VE COME TO AN END!!!


SAMIR, MANCA, KATJA B.,

ALEKSANDRA S., MONIKA,

KATJA P., KATJA S., ANITA P.


Thank you all for joining me at blogging!!!

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

But!!! Before letting you "off the hook":) I have one last question to ask you: (actually there are 3:):)

Do you think that blog as such has a future in learning English at school?
Would you like to practise English this way or do you prefer classroom learning?
How did you enjoy this experiment?

And the results are...

Well done MONIKA!!!!

All your guesses were correct. How on earth did you recognize them all? Are you a psychic???:)

As for the others, most of you were very close and it was fun to read your suggestions. Almost all of you recognized Leonardo Di Caprio while the other two were a bit toughish.

The celebrities on the pictures are:

1. Helen Hunt
2. Leonardo Di Caprio
3. Tom Cruise

Hope you all enjoyed the guessing!

Your last task - Task 6: (Guessing)

How did the celebrities look like when they were younger???

Look at the photos below and try to guess which celebrity is on each picture. Remember, when guessing, you use different modal verbs ( must, could, couldn't, might, ... according to your degree of certainty)

Do your guessing for the following photos by using modal verbs!

Just wondering... (Task 5)

First of all, I must say you've all done a great job!!!

I couldn't stop reading your bright and interesting ideas last night and it seems to me that you either enjoyed the topic or you are just very well acquainted with the "rules of behaving" once being in a relationship.

I am also glad to see that you've started to communicate with your classmates. Remember, you can always comment their work or ask THEM some additional questions.

While reading your responses, I was just wondering... How do you feel about INTERNET DATING? Is it just a funny way of meeting new people or COULD it be dangerous as well?

TASK 4: How to lose (keep) a guy (or girl) in 10 days?

Ok, let's say your date went on well and you DID make a good impression on your "better half". You're now officially a couple and both very much in love. You think about him (her) all the time and see him (her) every day. BUT! Is this enough to keep your relationship going? Or are there some things that you just HAVE TO DO in order to stay together?

In my opinion, you:

*have to meet his friends and get on well with them, otherwise he will have to choose between you and them and will be frustrated,

*have to trust him although this can be very difficult sometimes.

What are some of your ideas?

Wanted!!!!

SAMIR, ALEKSANDRA, MONIKA, KATJA P.

Where are you? I'm still eagerly waiting for your responses (Task 3)

YOU'RE SIMPLY THE BEST!:)

KATJA B.!

I like your way of thinking Katja and I must say I absolutely agree with your statements. What is more, I am surprised to see how mature you seem to be at your age. I don't know whether you have written your comments from your experience but you really sound like a very smart and reasonable girl. Write us soon!!

MANCA H.!

While reading your comment, I was LOL (laughing out loud). You seem to be such an optimistic person, quite a joker I must say. Shaving is definitely inevitable!!!:):), not to mention your humorous comments about the "Tic Tac" and "talking odd things "(I used to do that on my dates because I was nervous and it didn't work out well:)) A winner is definitely a mini-skirt in " which your ass is open for all eyes around you":):):) that's a really good one!!

Anybody who hasn't read the girls' responses do it now! You won't be sorry!

Task 3 (How to make your first date a success)

Let's say your best friend is going out with the person (he/she) is in love with and would like to make a good impression on their first date. What advice would you give (him/her?)

You don't have to write a comment, just make a list of some good and bad ideas (what she/he should and shouldn't do). Think of of the following: what to wear or not to wear, where to go or not to go, what to do or not to do, what to talk about, what to drink or eat, how to depart...)

For example:

a) * SHOULD dress sexy??:)
* SHOULD put some make up on
.
.
.

b) * SHOULDN'T be late
* SHOULDN'T talk all the time
.
.
.

MONIKA nad KATJA B. have joined us!!!

They wrote very interesting responses and put a lot of thinking in it.

Nicely done!!!

Girls, I hope you aren't as suicidal as you were in your comments:):)

Your second task

So far you' ve been "telling" me about difficult decisions in your life, but let's try something different now. (Since nobody asked me about mine, I'll skip that part and move on:))

What I would like you to do next is to:

1. Read the following situations,
2. Decide who (in your opinion) has found himself in the most difficult situation and why? Choose one situation you liked best and write what should the person (who is in dilemma) do.

Again write a brief comment.

1. SITUATION

Mandy's best friend Alex confides to her that he has commited a crime and Mandy promises him never to tell anyone about it. Soon Mandy discovers that an innocent person has been accused of the crime and she asks Alex to give himself up. He refuses and reminds her of her promise. Mandy doesn't know what to do.

What do you think she should do???

2. SITUATION

While shopping Kate is noticing an old woman, a tramp, stuffing 2 loaves of bread into her purse.
Kate feels sorry for her but she can't let her steal. Or can she??? What do you think? Should Kate report her or should she do something else???

3. SITUATION

Tim is an inmate in a concentration camp. A sadistic guard is about to shoot his son who tried to escape and wants Tim to shoot him. The guard tells him that if he dosen't do that, he will not only kill his son, but some other innocent people as well.

Do you think Tim should do what he is told to do???

4. SITUATION

John is on a boat and nearby are three large rocks with a person on one, and things on the others, waiting to be rescued. John cannot rescue all, only one. He has to choose between the following:

a) a bottle with the cure for cancer that would save thousands of lives,
b) a bottle with the cure for HIV that would save thousands of lives,
c) his fatally ill brother.

Go girls!!!!

I am very pleased to see your comments girls (Aleksandra and Manca). You really shouldn't let Samir do all the work:) I must say I read both your compositions as soon as I came home and I am really surprised at how good you are at writing. You both wrote great comments!!! I especially liked Aleksandra's last line - very imaginative and funny ending!!! and Manca's statement that..."all my next decisions may not be the right ones... but in the end, they will not be the wrong ones either if a just follow my heart." Excellent!!

You see, the aim of this blogging isn't just giving you some homework to do or checking your grammar, but also giving you an opportunity to express your thoughts nad perhaps practice your English somehow differently. So again, don't worry about mistakes or silly ideas!

Just do it!:)

Check out Samir's comment!

If there is anyone who would still like to join but has no idea about what to write or how long the comment should be, he can check out Samir's comment (1. naloga, klikneš comment). He wrote a really good one!

Well done Samir!!!

p.s. (Samir) Was it difficult? How long did it take you to write your composition?
