| THIRD ENGLISH FORUMMAY 26TH 2010. COLOMBIAN BICENTENARYA LAND OF FREEDOM, OPPORTUNITIES AND SPECIAL CULTURE | Colombia is a country with an enormous natural wealth, our nation is full of traditions, culture and different values. Colombian people are special, we are happy, of course we have problems, we have war, violence, poverty but at the same time we smile, we enjoy with soccer, we celebrate our traditions, we celebrate our culture.
This year we celebrated our third English forum on May 26th , an opportunity to show our students abilities and efficient skills development concerning the use of English as a second language, English as an essential tool to face different challenges of the actual world.As a tradition, to develop our forum we took into account important, interesting and actual topics, this year our country is commemorated its bicentenary, a time to remember our history, to reflect about who we are and what our future is. So that’s the topic we proposed to work about, our students worked about four different presentations taking into account the most important periods of our history: · PRE COLUMBIAN PERIOD.· DISCOVERY AND CONQUEST· INDEOENDECE PROCESS· REPUBLICAN LIFE The idea was to remember our history, the most important aspects of the mentioned periods by using the foreign language; also we presented short performances or representations for the different periods. We were very happy about the presence of different invited school like Gimnasio Nueva America, Colegio Santa Luisa, Colegio Federico Balart and Colegio Santa Catalina Real; some of them presented their opinions and thoughts about our nation. The forum was an excellent opportunity to remember who we are, to remember our history, to think about our nation`s future, to be proud about our country, a place blessed by God. | ARIEL HUMBERTO DIAZ HERNANDEZ ENGLISH TEACHER |
