Last April 25th some students of 4th ESO enjoyed a guided tour in English in the historic town centre of Plasencia. They discovered new places, facts and monuments. At the same time, they learned new vocabulary related to art and history. The whole visit was in English so the students could practice their oral skills. We thank the Tourism Department of Plasencia for this idea. Now when these students find foreign tourists in our town, they will surely have many things to say and, of course, in English!
