About Me

Portugal
I am from Coimbra, Portugal, and am currently teaching in a school in Soure, about 30 km away from Coimbra. I have been a teacher of English for over 20 years and have already taught different levels and age groups. After all this time I can say I love working with adult groups because there are no coursebooks and I can create my own resources. I am an avid reader, a blogger and very curious about free tools and their implementation in the classroom.

I wish I had been with you!!
I'm sure it was a valuable experience and you had fun, too.
I like teachers who are always motivated, full of energy and enthusiasm for their job.

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do

CHORUS:
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La, la, la, la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

CHORUS

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?

CHORUS

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same

CHORUS

(Mary Hopkins, "Those were the days")

Really, Helena, how appropriate!!!
And yes, Sonia, it was a valuable experience - just like in Norwich where you also proved to be highly motivated, right?
I'd like to thank the three of you (Gisela, Sandra and Lena) for bringing back such nice memories of Canterbury and London.
And... Sandra: thank you so much for your compliments. Remember Camden Market???
