EditorialWeve survived another winter and summer has finally
arrived. At Taylor School weve had another good year with
some amazing students who are now speaking, working,
thinking and even dreaming in English.
We had 42 students taking official exams this year and you
can read about what some of them thought about the
Cambridge First Certificate (FCE) classes on page 5.
I am especially proud of the children who have been with us
from the beginning... after 2 school years with us they are
now speaking English very well. Its also been very nice to
see our adults progressing and gaining confidence.
We have summer courses in July, August and September and
then back to normal classes on 1st October.Have a great summer!

You can take books from the library for 2 weeks.
The best thing is... its free!
We have a growing collection of books for childrenand adults. Some are
easier than others and
some have CDs so you can
read and listen to the
books. Ask your teacher
for advice on which to
choose.
I would like to recommend the last book I
read. Its Tales from the Arabian Nights.
Its easy to read, entertaining and
gripping. If you start reading you
wont stop.
The stories in this book
are very different.
Some are sad and
some are funny. We
meet many
interesting people: a
clever servant girl, a
judge, a stupid barber
and forty bad thieves.
The stories arent new, but you can find
the same people in the world today: A
young man in love, a good friend or a
clever young boy.
OUR LIBRARY
There are ten very strange and exciting stories
and you can get to know a wonderful new world.
The stories are told by Sheherezade,
the Sultans wife. She is beautiful
and clever and she knows
stories for 1001 nights.
Night after night, she tells
them to sultan Shahrian. She
always stops in an exciting
place. Her husband wants to kill
her, but he cant because he wants
to know what happens next. He wants
to hear the end of the story.
How many stories does Sheherezade know?
Im not going to tell you the ending!

Fran: 'I totally recommend Taylor School for
studying the FCE, not only do the teachers help
you a lot in preparing for the exam, but the
atmosphere in the class is great, you improve
your English so much. The conversation classes
are very useful especially if you're a little shy
and you are not used to speaking English, you
feel more confident. Moreover, the classes are
really fun.'
Ramss: 'Taylor School made things easy for
me. They let you choose your timetable, I came
to classes on Saturday mornings. I came to the
conversation classes when I could because in
your daily life you haven't got a lot of
opportunity to use your English'.
Isral:
'I am definitely more confident, the
classes are of great quality and you'll
enjoy it! These classes have given me
enough tools to solve some situations
in my job.'
Ariana: 'I would absolutely
recommend Taylor School. The
teachers are very friendly and teachvery well. Taylor School organised a
mini short film festival and I enjoyed
it a lot.'
This year we had lots of FCE students. Heres what some of them said about
their experience at Taylor School.
Jorge: I'd recommend Taylor School because
they have native teachers and they are very
professional.The conversation classes were
helpful and trained my ear.'
Marta: 'At Taylor School we have a lot of classes,
they make you study!
Cristina: 'Although we were
preparing for the exam we had a
great time learning. The
conversation classes are pleasant
and you can get to know your
classmates better.'
Abl: 'Taylor School always help
you. They give you a lot of
recommendations so you can
improve your English and your speaking level.'

This year weve had more students than
ever before and also more staff. We are
lucky enough to have great teachers, and
great people working here.
This year Andrea has
taken over
responsibility for the
workshops (talleres)
for primary students.
Shes very good at
finding activities that
are both fun and
educational.
This was Lizs first year
with us at Taylor School
and she has done a
wonderful job. Shes
from Halifax, just half an
hour from my parents
house in Wakefield. She
has been teaching a lot of
exam preparation
classes, and all her
students are very happy.
John is Lizs husband
from Liverpool. Hes
been teaching on
Saturday mornings -
but hes so professional
that I hope he teaches
more classes here next
year. As well as being
a super teacher, hes
also a keen
photographer and a mean harmonica player.
INTRODUCING THE STAFFThis is Mara. Shes from
Cangas de Onis, so shes a
real Asturian. She has a
talent with our little infants
- soon theyll be speaking
English better than me!
Last year one of our infants
(Ivan) even asked her to
marry him.
Elena is our very own
Asturian from Miami!
She could be back in the
Tropics, but she chooses
to follow her heart and
stay here in the cold and
rain, teaching English
with us. Shes great at
high level classes.
Cristina is the co-
owner of the school
but she had to leave
half way through the
year to look after
herself... and our
baby! She will
probably be back
next year to carry on
teaching some
groups and Im sure shell be around to showoff our little Taylor Marin.
Luca did an amazing
job, stepping in for
Cristina when she
couldnt teach any more.
Shes been teaching our
primary classes and
preparing the children
for the Trinity exams.

For the intensive
courses we have
Andrew. Hes from
New York state and
he came here to
study Spanish and
stayed. Hes an
artist and teacher,
so he should be great for our workshops
and primary classes. Were looking
forward to working with him this
summer.
Isa is our
receptionist and
admin clerk.
Shes the face of
Taylor School as
you see her
every day. She
does a great job
organising us all...
but she needs to practise her English
some more, so speak to her in English
please!
And this is me.
Co-owner of the
school and very
proud of what all
the staff have
achieved again
this year. Our
students are
learning a lot,
they have fun and
they recommend us to their friends and
family. Im very lucky to work with these
lovely people!
By Marta, Alvaro, Ana and Mara Jose
1) This is a film about a crazy man and a woman
who met and fell in love. The stars of the film
are Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. He
played a divorced man and she played a
widowed man. Other actors in the film include
Robert De Niro. The director of the film was
David O Russell. I liked it because its a comedy
but it deals with strong issues and mental
illness.
2) This is a film about a guy who fights crime in
the USA with a lot of types of futuristic gadgets
and weapons. The star of the film is Cristian
Bale. He played a superhero. Other actors in
the film include Michael Cane and Morgan
Freeman. The director of the film was
Christopher Nolan. I like it because it has very
good actors and its one of the best action films.
3) This film is about a wedding where the future
bride wants to know who her father is, so she
invites three possible candidates. The star of
the film is Meryl Streep. She played the bridesmother. Another actor in the film was Pierce
Brosnan. I liked it because of the music.
4) This is a film about a woman who goes to live
in Kenya with her husband. The stars of the
film are Robert Retford and Meryl Streep. She
plays a countess who becomes a farmer. I liked
the film because it made me dream about going
to live in another exotic country. The music is
fantastic. I like the film, but Id change theending because its very sad.

We have given the
film four stars
because we liked the
story and the songs. If
you like romantic and
musical films, you will
like the love story
between Sandy and
Danny. We also liked
the fashions and the
cars from the 1950s
(the fifties).
There are a lot of
funny scenes at Rydell High School with the
teachers and the students. There are lots of
songs about friendship, love and school. The T-
Birds are a gang of boys at the school who wearwhite T-shirts and black leather jackets, the girls
have a gang called the Pink Ladies and they
wear pink silk jackets. The funniest scene was
when Danny from the T-Birds tried to do sports,
like basketball and baseball but he wasnt very
good at sports.
Another of our favourite scenes was the dance
competition at Rydell High School. It was very
funny because everybody dances and the
style is very different from now. They dance
rock and roll and do the hand jive. Thefashions of the 1950s are very
cool the boys wear suits and
ties and the girls wear colourful
dress and scarves and flat
shoes or high heels.
The most exciting scene was
the race at Thunder Road
between Danny and the leader
of the Scorpions (another gang).
Dannys car is called Greased
Lightning and he wins. The old
cars are very special.
We think that the best scene is
the final scene because it is very
happy. It takes place at the Graduation
Carnival. There is a big party on the last day of
school and a fair with rides. The sun is shining
and everyone is looking forward to the summer
holidays. Sandy changes her look and she and
Danny sing: Youre the one that I want which
is a fast song. Then they sing a song with their
classmates called Well always be together..
and then they get into Dannys car and it flies!
We recommend this funny film for the summer.
We thought it was quite easy to understand in
English too!
