Welcome to the academic year 2023-2024

In this introductory session, you're required to carry out two production tasks.

1. Written expression. Write a story in pairs using as many of the following words as possible:

-Actually
-Career
-Despite
-Regardless of
-Had she/he only known

Swap your texts with another pair after 10 minutes and continue writing them until you have contributed to all the stories. Use your imagination and be creative!

2. Oral expression. Rank the following concepts according to your personal priorities in life:

-Family
-Friends
-Health
-Money
-Politics
-Romance
-Sex
-Sport
-Studies
-Work

Make a list individually and then compare it to other students' choices to reach a consensus and create a single list. Once you've finished, join another pair to follow the same process and come up with a single list you all agree with. Provide arguments for this pyramidal discussion until the entire class produces a consensual ranking.

In this summer I went to work but actually it was impossible due to I have been doing a master to increase my professional career in Tourism. My friend of the master she stayed in Barcelona but had she only know the master was cheaper in Madrid, she would have moved with her boyfriend since hee lives there. Despite liiving faw away, they decided on the weekends meet in the city.
At the third weekend, they rented a car to visit Toledo but in the middle of the ride they started to argue about their relationship. After 5 minutes they stopped to refiel the tank and the boyfriend asked her girlfirend if she could pay while he was refeling the tank.
While the girl was paying for the petrol and some snacks, the boy decided to left her at the gas station and run away.

This summer we went to Florida to continue with our professional career of bology. The third day that we spent there our biology group decide to go to a lake to have a picnic despite the caiman warning there.
If we had known that those warnings were that serious we would never have gone there.
When we arrived there we prepared the picnic. Suddenly we heard someone screaming at the other side of the lake. At first we thought it was some crazy guy but later we saw clearly that it was a caiman attacking a fisherman, actually we didn't believe it.
Afortunadly we found a kayak to go to help the fisherman we took rocks to try to kill the caiman and food ward off the caiman from the fisherman. While we were paddeling we found another caiman that it was coming to us so we return to the picnic zone. The fisherman and the first caiman were dead. Despite the death of the first aligator we weren't safe, because the second alligator wanted to eat us. All of the suddent an italian gyt came to rescue us. His name was Antonello, who came with the best raviolis in the world. He gave the alligator the raviolis and saved the situation.

This summer I went to Cuba with my family to enjoy the amazing place. Actually it was not my first option because I hate long flights, I would prefer to go to Greece because is near and it have more things to do. Once we arrive to Cuba we took a taxi and the driver was drunk and we don't know how we arrive to the hotel. We put our staff in the room and we went to the pool and then... we recived an urgent SMS from two italian guys that were broadcastin the message. The message said that they needed help because there wasn't anybody in Bcn, they were by themselves. Despite of us just arriving to Cuba, we decided to take a flight back home and help them. That was the moment that Ramonello and Antonello entered our lifes. Ramonello didn't have tecnology career, he was actually University teacher with thoughts on been a leader of a mafia. Our summer endeed knowing that the people we met was not the peolple we thought. In short, apparences can be deceiving.

Despite of the boiling weather of an August in Barcelona, Antonello and Ramonello found themselves lost in the middle of the city and they quickly realized that they were the only ones there. Had they only known that Barcelona was isolated, they would have gone with their parents for holidays.
On the one hand, Antonella was a 24 year italian guy that spent his entire life trying to find the perfect raviolis recipe.
On the other hand, Ramonello was the leader of a Portuguese mafia, but actually in the past he used to had a technology career.

Once upon a time, three american girls went to Paris. Actually, they wanted to go to Monaco because they would like to see their favorite artist, the Jonas Brothers. Despite being in Paris, they decided to take a bus to Monaco..but they lost it, so they took a train. Had they only known, the BlaBlacar was cheaper than the train, they would have arrived on time.
Fortunately, they enjoyed the entire concert. The next day, they went back home and continued with their professional career.

On the flight back home, there was a mistake with their boarding pass, and the airplane was upgraded to business class. There they found out that the Jonas Brothers were seated next to them, actually they couldn't believe it.
The Jonas Brothers saw that they were super fans.

We are friends of Shakira so we have the idea to present them to make tha Waka Waka remix with Jonas Brothers. Finally, we arrived safely in Barcelona.
One month later, we found the new song on Spotify.
