Hello. I want to help you a little with the pronunciation. I say ‘a little’ because the software I am going to talk about is still under development. Sometimes we are in doubt about how to say pronounce some words, specially when talking about false friends (pentagon, transparent, …). Our first try should be going to the dictionary and look at the phonetics but, when there are many words that we don’t know, this is a really slow method. Some browsers have the option of adding “Extensions” and we are going to focus on Firefox and Chrome. The extensions ‘Text to Voice‘ and ‘FoxVox‘ for Firefox and ‘Speak It‘ for Chrome add the speech functionality to your browser. Once installed, Text to Voice and Speak It it create a tiny speaker icon. You just need to select text, click the speaker icon and this add-on speaks the selected text: FoxVox, on the other side, doesn’t create any button. Just select the text on the web page, then right click, highlight Foxvox in the menu and choose Speak selected text. That’s all. They sound a little robotic, but you can imagine that Stephen Hawking is helping you. There are significant differences between Chrome and Firefox ‘extra capabilities’. Chrome extension automatically changes the language, but Firefox ones allow you to download the audio as MP3 (Text to Voice), OGG file and create a wave Audiofile (FoxVox). Written by Ies La Luz

Tirso de Molina participated once again in the Global Classrooms project sponsored by the Community of Madrid Ministry of Education. The bilingual section classes in the 3rd of ESO spent the first trimester of the school year learning about the United Nations, our designated countries, the assigned topic, and debating techniques. Our school researched the following countries; Austria, Brazil, Senegal, Kuwait, and Papua New Guinea for the purpose of the project. Additionally, we researched and investigated the issue of the rights of migrants across the world in order to be prepared to debate the issue at the conference in January. Ten students were selected to represent our school at the conferences, which were a gathering of representatives from public schools across the Community of Madrid for the purpose of debating and seeking resolutions to the issues researched. Our students did a fantastic job, and we are so proud of their critical thinking ski...
Today I'll have talk about the next excursion we will make any students of 4th ESO 1st Bachillerato and 2nd Bachillerato The days 7, 8 and 9 April we are going to the National Park Monfragüe. Monfragüe is in Cáceres (Extremadura). The excursion we do with biology and go to sleep in cabins of 8 10 or 12 people. I think it will be a great excursion and very funny. When we're not all there will be laughter and we'll have to get up early and walk a lot, but probably worth the effort. The routes that we have done are raised to see much wildlife and many varieties of animals. The price is cheap, 45 € the three days, so if it does not include the food, we have to bring us the house Those chosen to go to excursion were chosen by lottery as there was space for everyone. Here you have some pictures of the landscape Monfragüe. PARQUE NATURAL DE MONTFRAGÜE
