Geography in 3rd ESO

“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.”
