Buy Nothing Day


Posted in Labels:


November 30th 2013 is Buy Nothing Day (UK). 
Buy Nothing Day is a great way of reminding yourself you don't need to go shopping. The purpose of Buy Nothing Day is to make people pay attention to what we buy and why.
In today's world, most of us buy too much, too often. Shopping has become an addiction and there is really no need for us to buy half the stuff we purchase. You help save our planet by not going shopping. You consume less and this means we use fewer of Earth's resources.
Buy Nothing Day is the biggest 24-hour campaign against consumerism. And the best thing is, IT'S FREE!.

WELCOME TO A NEW SCHOOL YEAR!!

 It's nearly the end of summer. You'll say goodbye to the beach days, the swimming pools, the flip-flops and the sunscreen shortly. Soon you'll be returning to school.
Think of the start of each school year like a new beginning. It's a good opportunity to get started on the right foot.
I wish you have a great year learning English. My intention is to continue with this blog in order to help you with your English. 
                 HAVE A FANTASTIC YEAR!! 
                          Your English teacher,
                                     Gloria.
