Bandera del Reino Unido



La bandera del Reino Unido (denominada Union Flag; Bandera de Unión o Union Jack) es una combinación de las cruces de los santos patronos de Inglaterra, de Escocia y de Irlanda del Norte, tres de las cuatro regiones que, con Gales, forman el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte. La cruz roja sobre fondo blanco del centro es la de San Jorge, de Inglaterra. El aspa blanca sobre fondo azul es la cruz de San Andrés, de Escocia. Y el aspa roja sobre fondo blanco es la cruz de San Patricio, de Irlanda. Es, dada la absoluta hegemonía inglesa en el Reino Unido, muy comunmente confundida con la bandera de Inglaterra.

Y por si queréis un poquillo de música ambiental, aquí tenéis unos acordes del himno "no oficial" británico.

¿Y qué os parece echar un vistazo a los souvenirs más típicos que podéis traer de regalito?

Bueeeeeno,esto ha sido todo, me ha costado trabajo pero el esfuerzo ha valido la pena (al menos para mí).
Gracias por todo Lola.

LONDON VIEWS

With no doubts, London is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Everybody wants to come to London to see Big Ben and Nelson's column, visit Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey, walk across Tower Bridge and climb to the top of St. Paul. This largest city of Europe perfectly combines ancient landmarks with modern designs, a stolid British attitude with a multicultural spirit, a coziness of cobblestone lanes with a width of parks and squares.

WELSH LOVE SPOONS

Lovespoon History
The Welsh language - Cymraeg is part of the Celtic family of languages, and remained with the Celtic people when they fled westwards to an area now known as Wales. The fact the welsh language continues today is testimony to the pride of the Welsh nation.

Many customs have also surveyed one being the art of giving Love spoons by the men of Wales - and dates back to the 17th century.

The men who carved the spoons were not the landed gentry, and what ever they lacked in formal education, they made up for in abundance by developing there natural skills and creativity.

PRESENT SIMPLE





We use the Simple Present to express habits or routines. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do. It is also used to talk about "permanent states" and "universal truths"





Example: 
                I always have coffee for breakfast.  ( habit)
                The Pope lives in The Vatican. ( permanent state)
                Water boils at 100º centigrades. ( universal truth)

PRESENT CONTINUOUS



We use the Present Continuous with normal vrbs to express the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment.
 "It is raining, get an umbrella."

It can also be used to show that something is not happening now but around the moment of speaking, at this time of your life.
  " I am taking driving classes. I go on Mondays and  Fridays."

Structure:
                       Subject + verb To Be (am, is, are) + main Verb+ING
