The experts in Bachillerato education, here to guide your students to success with tips, resources and mock exams. Johnny was a 9-year-old boy who lived in a suburban neighbourhood of the coastal city of Dublin.
Every year, he wished for a white Christmas, dreaming of snow-covered streets and frosty mornings. But in his town, Christmas was cold—sometimes frosty but hardly ever snowy.
Living by the sea, snow was just a dream. I lived in Cardiff as an adult during the s and s but my ties to the city go back to my early childhood. My father was from Canton.
No, he was not Chinese; Canton is a well-known area of Cardiff and has nothing to do with Canton, China. Learning English as a foreign language may seem unimportant to students when their exposure to all things English is limited to just a few classroom hours a week.
We believe it is important to help students realise that the language they study in the classroom is connected to a whole world outside the classroom — a world of different English speaking cultures, which is often hard for them to experience directly.
