Ana María Rico and Maite Planelles attended the lectures celebrated in Palacio de Congresos in Madrid on Saturday 2nd April organized by MacMillan. We met former teachers Teresa Nieto and Ana Pardos.
We found particularly interesting the lecture given by Professor David Crystal: By hook or crook: a jouney in search of English. His lecture consisted of a travelogue of a journey to find out more about the fascinating variety and history of the English language in Britain and overseas. The talk covered accents and dialects, place names and etymologies. He introduced some of the people and places encountered, from Lady Godiva to Bricklehampton, and reflected on the language’s continually changing and elusive character.
During the break someone took a picture of us with the Professor. With no doubt both a great opportunity to listen to the great lecturer and meet our colleagues.
OH! I REMEMBER TERESA NIETO! SHE WAS MY ENGLISH TEACHER OF FIRST OF E.S.O! I MISS HER VERY MUCH!
