Welcome to all the 2nd year Advanced students at the EOI Pontevedra, A Estrada section, Valle-Inclán section and Lalín section.

This blog has been designed with the aim of complementing your lessons with extra material we'd like to use in the classroom but we can't due to lack of time. So it will be a kind of self-study room for you.

You can practise listening, reading and writing, as well as meeting new people who are at your same level and school.

So don't be lazy or shy. Make comments and enjoy... because English is FUNtastic, isn't it?

VOTING AGE



Over 1.5 million 16 and 17 year olds are currently denied the vote in the UK; for years, they've wanted the opportunity to have their say.
Last Feb 11th, many young people from around Ireland attended NYCI's Vote@16 youth conference.
But Argentina's Congress is about to vote to lower voting age by two years:

What's your poisition on this issue? Should voting age be lowered to 16? Are people this age mature enough to vote?
