28th JANUARY SESSION.
Good morning:
Our conversation topics reflect our worries and the latest news. So, it's not so strange that our first topic was pensions and all the changes of the new Spanish law about it. Then, we talked about human resources and we talked about languages (including Spanish regional varieties). After that, Elena proposed us to explain her particular view on human evolution, nature, tele-transport or dimensions. We became a bit philophical in this point because we turned to discuss about the universe, the infinite and space. Apart from this, Jairo talked about the dark period of the Middle Ages. Another completely different topic was farms.
Linguistically speaking, we learnt two new expressions: "pull strings" (I copy definition by thefreedictionary.com):

21st JANUARY SESSION.
Hello everybody:
In the last session we were less than normally. We talked about stand-up comedy and shopping centres, specially those in Villalba. Then we moved to a very recent topic of discussion: restaurants, smoking and the new law. We also analysed the current situation of employment/ unemployment in Spain as well as matters regarding the world of work. Then, we changed the topic to discuss about pollution and alternative energy sources.
So, as you can see, we always change from topic to topic and we never stop talking.
See you again on Friday.

14th JANUARY SESSION.
Hello everyone:
It seemed very far away, but, finally, we've had our first session this year. At the beginning we were a bit shy and silent, maybe because our English had some "spiderwebs" after Xmas holidays. The warming up consisted of talking about our holidays (or in some cases lack of holidays, sorry Alberto and Marina). Then we started to talk about some movies as well as the shooting incident in the U.S. This led us to talk about violence nowdays. As usual, our final topic was a bit different: the National Health Service, basically in the U.S and Spain.
See you in the next session.
