Dia de Ambiente de FCSH 23.3.07

How about planting a tree for Inglês B2.2 ? Is anyone prepared to attend the meeting mentioned in this publicity (23rd March) and request a space for our own tree planting?

We could have our own ceremony later on and choose the tree we want to plant.... poetry reading..etc?

Or simply attend the meeting and feedback the results?

It's in your hands.

your short story suggestions

1. Choose one story from the East of the Web site< www.short-stories.co.uk/>and submit the link in your group blog.
Give an idea of what the story is about and your recommendation without spoiling it for your readers.
Look for ideas on how to achieve this on the backs of books.

e.g.Gripping suspense, you can’t put it down. Love in the war zones.

Photo text- your home/city

How about a photo documentation of what is typical of your city?

Have a look at these photos of New York City for ideas.
