Lunes, 20 de diciembre
Hola!
Vivo en un pequeño pueblo llamado Templo, cerca de Avila. Esta noreste de Espa-
ña, rodeado de montañas. Mi pueblo es muy bonito y muy turístico en verano. Por
desgracia, el invierno no hay mucho que hacer para los jóvenes. Esta un poco
aislado. Además, no hay muchas tiendas. Afortunadamente, está cerca de la mon-
taña y se puede ir a esquiar y, por supuesto, tomar el sol! Pero no hay piscina o
cines. Tampoco hay campos de golf.
Por lo tanto, me gusta ir a Avila los fines de semana. Es una ciudad histórica con
una hermosa catedral. Hay más distracciones que en Templo, como cines y salas
de conciertos. En junio, hay un gran festival de música.
En el centro de la ciudad se puede ir de compras, son un poco caros. Si te gusta la
historia, se puede visitar el museo, que es bastante interesante. Para los atletas, hay
pocos centros deportivos y una gran nueva piscina donde voy a veces. A veces, los
sábados por la noche, voy a las discotecas con mis amigos porque me encanta bai-
lar.
En una suerte, porque en verano hace calor y el sol brilla. Es genial porque puedo
pasar todo el día en la playa con mis amigos. Sin embargo, en invierno, el clima es
variable y a veces llueve. Odio la lluvia!
Por último, me encanta mi zona, pero me parece a mi pueblo aburrido. Me gusta
mucho más Avila, ya que es una ciudad para los jóvenes.
Hasta pronto, Camila
A. Responde en Español:
1. ¿Dónde vive Camila exactamente?
2. ¿Cómo es su pueblo?
3. ¿Por qué prefiere Avila ?
4. ¿Qué hace los sábados?
5. ¿Qué hace en la montaña?
6. ¿Qué sucede en Junio?
7. ¿Por qué no le encanta su pueblo y prefiere Avila?
8. ¿Qué tiempo hace en invierno?
9. Haz una lista de todos los lugar mencionados por Ca-
mila (square, sport center…)
B. Translate into English:
1. Vivo en Argentina con mis padres, hablamos es-
panol en Argentina.
2. Australia es un pais muy grande. La gente habla
espanol aqui.
3. Mi amigo es mexicano. Habla espanol y
ingles.
Task 1 Advanced– You need to produce a detailed paragraph to show the daily routine and life of a young boy or girl in a country very differ-ent to ours. The country needs to be a Spanish speaking one and you should try to choose somewhere unusual. You can choose one of the countries you researched about. You should aim to include some of the following points:
A paragraph introducing your new identity (name, age, family, date of
birth, hobbies, type of house etc) in SPANISH
A map to show where you now live as well as a detailed description of
where it is in SPANISH
A description of the weather in different seasons
A paragraph describing your daily routine and activities including the
times at which you do some of these activities in SPANISH
A description of your school life (the school you go to, school timetable,
etc…)
Description of the food you eat in your new country (compare it to the
food you usually eat at home)
Opinions about the country/city and whether you like living there and

I found this booklet stretched and challenged my child.
I found the challenges engaged my child.
My child enjoyed doing the challenges on their own and knew
what was expected of them.
The website contained all the relevant information I needed
to know about the project.
I am content with the amount of work that my child was
asked to complete in this 4 week project.
The instructions and guidance for the project was clear and
concise.
My child received feedback during the project to help guide
them through the process.
My child attended Homework Club to complete aspects of
this challenge booklet.
