My ideal home is in a neighbourhood of Capital City: Palermo. Palermo is a very beatiful neighbourhood. It has got lots of cinemas, shops, restaurants, bars, subways, parks.

This is an old house. It´s got a four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room, a playroom and a big kitchen. The matrimonial suite has got a big bathroom with a jacuzzi, a dressing room  and a big balcony with lots of flowers and plants.

The house has got a wonderful garden with a swimming pool, gym, trees, plants, grill broiler, chairs, tables and double garage.

This house is a very light, quiet and relaxing place and perfect for a big family. It´s about 5 minutes from The Palermo Lake. Here I can do sports, run and relax.

The Nanny by Julieta

When we studied the family, students wrote about a family from a TV series or soap opera. This is Julieta's contribution.

The Nanny is an American sitcom.  The female protagonist is Francine Joy, played by Fran Drescher.   She´s a lovely girl from Queens, of Jewish origin who accidentally becomes a nanny of three high class children of New York.

Francine, her nickname`s Fran, starts to work at home the Sheffield family.

Maxwell Sheffield is the male protagonist, portrayed by actor Charles Shaughnessy.  He´s the father of three children, Maggi, Brighton and Grace.  He´s widower and a famous Broadway theatre producer.   

Max works a lot and hasn´t time to care their children therefore searches for a nanny.  When she knocks the door in his home, he confuses Fran, a seller of makeup with the nanny.  He hires her immediately.

The others members are Niles (by Daniel Davis), the butler and chauffeur for the Sheffield family, who hates CC (by Lauren Lane), the business partner of Max but she wants something more than that.  She´s in love with Max and she wants to marry him.  Obviously, she hates Fran, and always fights with Niles.

Fran is a funny nanny.  She has a particular voice and really loves Max´s children.    Maggi (by Nicholle Tom) is the eldest child, she´s shy and clumsy.    She fights with her brother Brighton because always call her "nerd".  Brighton (by Benjamin Salisbury) is the middle child.  Usually, he causes trouble to his sisters.  And Grace (by Madeline Zima) is the youngest.  She has an imaginary friend and she has a habit to use difficult words for to talk.

Sylvia is Fran´s mother, she´s played by Renée Taylor.  She´s a typical Jewish mother.  She´s tries to maintain an important role in Fran´s life.   Sylvia visits frequently the Sheffield home and she wants her daughter to marry.

Yetta Rosenberg (by Ann Morgan) is Fran´s grandmother and Sylvia´s mother. She´s a survivor of the Titanic.  She forgets things all the time.  She really believes the children are Fran´s children.

Finally, Val Torielo (by Rachel Chagal) is Fran´s best friend. She isn´t very smart, usually she makes stupid but very funny comments.

My Ideal Home by Vanesa

My ideal house is on the Beach of the Caribbean.  It`s a comfortable place. It`s a big and very luminous house.  I love my ideal house for its large windows and the sight.

There`s a green garden in front of the house.

There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms.  Also, there is a big living room and a beautiful American kitchen.

In the second floor there's a relax room with a warm jacuzzi next to the room of games. In this room there`s a big TV. There are two sofas and some puffs.

My house is near the small downtown.  It`s only about ten minutes. My family live three doors of my house. I`m lucky these are very big houses!  And my neighbors are my friends.

In the centre there is a cinema, there are some shops of clothes and a lot of bars to go out with my friends.

My Routine by Fernando

Now that students have finished the level 1 course, I have asked them to search in their writing portfolio for one piece to share. This is Fernando's choice.

Hello, my name is Fernando. I'm a lawyer and I am fifty five years old.  I have one child.  He lives  part of the week with me. His name is Guido, and he is  fourteen  years old. My all days routine is as following.

I wake up at quarter to seven in the morning. Then I have a shower and  awake  Guido. I get dressed, and  then I make a light breakfast. We have coffee with milk and toast with jam, and then we brush our teeth, and  we   leave. We go by car. First,  I take my son Guido to  his school.  Then, I go to work.  I get to the office about  8:30 am. I start to work inmediately. I make telephone calls, check the mails, and sign documentation. At 14:00 am I  have  lunch time. After lunch I come back to the office  and I start to work again.  I work until about 18:00. Then I go back home,  or sometimes I go to a friend’s house. Once a week I meet with them to play music because we have a rock band. I also study English. After dinner I often  study English.

My weekend routine is very different . I wake up never before  9:00 am. I get up about 9:30 am, and I have a long and slow  breakfast. Then I play tennis with my friends. Then I have a shower and after that  I cook lunch , most of the times barbaque, and I drink  a good red wine malbec.

I have a nap until  16:30 pm. Then  I get up and play table tennis with my son and their friends. In the night we watch tv or a movie. Then We have  dinner and  finally we go to sleep.
