Although I'm a Belgian shepherd and a bilingual dog, it's difficult to me doing this kind of activitie and choosing the correct word to fill the gaps but, in this case,I undestood perfectly the story and I didn't a lot of mistakes.I'll try the listening tomorrow because there is a delicious bone waiting for me.Milord from heaven.

I loved it! I didn't know these aspects from Saint Patrick's history.It was very interesting for me (because Ireland has a special place in my heart since it was the first place I visited when I first travelled abroad). The activities were adecuated to our level and eventhough I couldn't understand all the things people said in the videos (yes, I've seen all of them. I loved this webpage and I think it's very useful) I understood the general aspects. Thank you for this discovery =o)

Hello Dulce, I´m Nazaret, the listening is very funny, but there are some words that I don´t understand. I think is easy although the narrator is drunk enough, isn´t he? See you tomorrow,bye.

Hi Dulce!
I enjoyed the Saint Patrick day activities.I especially liked the listening activity because the drunk narrator reminded my self after four or maybe five paints of Guiness, jeje. I found the reading activity more dificult but it's ok for our level.
Reading activity mark_ 15/17
Listening activity mark_ 19/20
Have a nice day!

The best activity no doubts, the video, what a frightening voice! It must be the funniest day for them, almost I can imagine myself taking a walk through streets full of drunk and bearded men.
I had listened the Saint Patrick's name before, but sincerely I had no idea about the story.

Hello. About the reading, I learned so much about Saint Patrick, specially the part which speaks about the celebration in USA.

The listening was difficult for me and I listened it about ten times to write the answers. However, I enjoyed with the history. I must try the green beer!

Marks:

Reading: 11/17
Listening: 17/20.

Best wishes. Pablo.

Hi Dulce, your blogspot is very interesting, and I'm embarrased because of I don't write you before. I had to repeat the listening because although was very easy for me at first, in the middle and in the end it was more difficult. The reading is not easier than the listening.
c.u. on monday
