“Last Wednesday, the students
of 3rd ESO went to the theatre to learn, listen and see a conference about
Geography in English. The person in charge was an American boy, Dustin, who is
finishing his degree in Barcelona. He explained lots of things about the United
States, America, Europe…He is being evaluated and he told us that he wants to
be a teacher.
At the beginning we had to draw a world map and label
the continents, oceans… It was a curious experience because it’s not easy to do
this without looking at an atlas. He showed lots of maps, and we realised that,
Africa is much bigger than what we can usually see in the maps.
At the end, we, the students,
made him a lot of questions about geography, his life or the American
traditions.
Finally, Ellis and Tim (our
conversation assistant) said the same sentences in American and British English
so we could see the differences between both accents.
I think we have learnt a lot of
things about Geography and English.”
