GUIDED TOUR IN PLASENCIA

El pasado 25 de abril algunos alumnos de 4º ESO realizaron una visita guiada en inglés por el casco histórico de Plasencia.

Descubrieron lugares, hechos y monumentos desconocidos para ellos. Al mismo tiempo aprendieron nuevo vocabulario relacionado con el arte y la historia. Toda la visita se realizó en inglés de modo que pudieron poner en práctica sus destrezas orales. Nuestro agradecimiento a la Concejalía de Turismo del Ayuntamiento de Plasencia por esta iniciativa. Ahora cuando estos alumnos encuentren a turistas extranjeros por nuestra ciudad seguro que tienen muchas cosas que contarles y, además, ¡en inglés!

April Fools' Day, sometimes called All Fools' Day, is one of the most light-hearted days of the year. Its origins are uncertain. Some see it as a celebration related to the turn of the seasons, while others believe it stems from the adoption of the Gregorian calendar.
