LA IMPORTANCIA DE LA LENGUA INGLESA
Voy a escribir unos cuantos renglones acerca de lo que yo entiendo sobre la importancia del idioma inglés. Me dirijo a vosotros, alumnos y alumnas, por estar en una etapa de aprendizaje en la que empezais a usar el idioma inglés. Un idioma es como una construcción a la que poco a poco se le van añadiendo ladrillos, en este caso palabras para poder decir cada vez más cosas y lograr algo tan bonito y agradable como comunicarnos con gente que no habla nuestra lengua. Es cierto que hay una gran variedad de lenguas en el mundo, pero la importancia de las mismas, sin desprestigiar a ninguna, se la dan el número de hablantes, la cantidad de gente que habla uno u otro. ¿Por qué el inglés es el número uno en importancia? entre otras razones porque es una lengua que se construye con cierta facilidad, así como que paises como Gran Bretaña, Estados Unidos o Canadá hablen esta lengua.
Otros factor a tener en cuenta es la industria y el comercio; estamos rodeados de inglés por todas partes, así utilizamos palabras como: parking, pack, ticket, e-mail, SMS...y muchas más palabras que hemos cogido de esta lengua.
Al ir siendo tan usada en el mundo se viene estudiando ya desde los primeros años de colegio.
Por lo dicho, os aconsejo que la estudieis con agrado, pensad en que es una herramienta importante que os puede servir de mucha ayuda en muchas ocasiones de vuestras vidas: realizar viajes culturales, intercambios y más tarde en vuestros trabajos. Así que ánimo y disfrutad de las clases en el colegio. Y una cosa muy esencial, corregid los fallos preguntando, consultando el diccionario en casa y no tengais nunca "vergüenza" al hablarlo por miedo a cometer errores, porque de los errores también se aprende, todos lo hicimos.
FERNANDO.

MORE ABOUT PIRATES
We want to learn a lot about pirates.Do you know what's the name of the pirate's flag?And why?
Both black and red flags carried a significant message, as you might have guessed the red flags early pirates sailed under represented Bloodshed and a warning, and meant that no quarter would be given to those who crossed paths with the ship. The Pirates hoped that the sight of this flag would cause early surrender and an easy conquest. Black flags were traditionally used on Plague ships as a warning to others, so the progression to Black flags for Pirates was natural as it already represented Death. The Pirates called this the 'Banner of King Death'.
The flags were then made more elaborate and unique by using other symbols of death or violence, such as Skull and Crossbones, a Cutlass or even an Hourglass which meant the enemies time was up! Probably the most well-known Pirate of them all, no not Jack Sparrow, Blackbeard was thought to have flown under a black flag that featured a skeleton standing next to a bleeding heart, holding an hourglass in one hand and a spear in the other! Nice ay...
Most Pirate flags are generally known as 'Jolly Roger's' or 'Skull and Crossbones'. It is relatively easy to see where the name Skull and Crossbones comes from but there are several possibilities for the derivation of the name Jolly Roger. The most probable of these are; the English pronunciation of the French term 'Jolie Rouge' (Red Flag). It is also thought it could have originated from the word Rouge, meaning thief, beggar, or vagabond. The final theory is that it came from the phrase 'Old Roger' which was an English slang term for the Devil.

PIRATES
Carnival is here! This year we are going to be pirates. Be careful because we are very brave and dangerous.
Now you can try and sing this song "You are a pirate".
Lyrics:
Do what you cause a pirate is free
You are a pirate
CHORUS
Yarr harr fiddledeedee
Being a pirate is alright with me
Do what you want cause a pirate is free
You are a pirate
You are a pirate
(Yay)
We got us a map (a map)
To lead us to a hidden box
That's all locked up with locks (with locks)
And buried deep away
We'll dig up the box (the box)
We know it's full of precious booty
Bust open the locks
And then we'll say hooray!
Yarr harr fiddledeedee
If you love to sail the sea
You are a pirate
(Weigh anchor)
Repeat chorus
Arr, yarr, ahoy and avast
Dig a the dirt and dig it deep fast
Hang the black flag at the end of the mast
You are a pirate
(Yay)
We're sailing away (set sail)
Adventure waits on every shore
We set sail and explore (yarr harr)
And run and jump all day
(Yay)
We float in our boat (the boat)
Until it's time to drop the anchor
Then hang up our coats
Until we sail again
Yarr harr fiddledeedee
If you love to sail the sea
You are a pirate
(Land ho)
Repeat chorus
Yarr harr
Wind at yer back lads wherever you go
Blue sky above and blue ocean below
You are a pirate
You are a pirate
Now you can try and sing this song "You are a pirate".
