A FUTURE FOR EVERYONE !!

A  FUTURE FOR EVERYONE ( BY S.CATALAN)

Traditional banks don’t usually lend money to poor people because they don’t have possessions or as security to repay loans.

The idea for microcredit started developing many years ago, during his time teaching at University of Bangladesh by Yunus. Small amounts of money are lent  (++++)to poor people with lower rates of interest than the banks charged them. Consequently, the borrowers could make higher profits. Firstly, he started lending from his own money to some women from a small town near the university. Nowadays, it has become an organization of microcredits. Not only Yunus lent money to poor communities, but he also persuaded local banks to lend money to the organisation which was used to lend microloans again. Besides, try to convince people to save money in order to have more possibility of lending microcredits to others families. 

 Summing up, microcredits is a system which feeds itself and will benefit poor people.

MULTIPLICATION

DIVISION

2 PLUS 2 EQUALS 4  ( 2+2=4)

4 MINUS 2 EQUALS 2    (4-2 =2)

5 TIMES 5 EQUALS 10   ( 5 x 5 = 10)

3 goes into 9   3 times ( quotient)

10:4 = 2R2  ( 2 reminder 2)

Fraction  2/5  ( you take 2 parts out of five)

Decimal   2.5  ( two point five)

CURIOSITY AT PEDRO CERRADA !!!

 CURIOSITY  IN THE ELECTRONICS BUILDING AT PEDRO CERRADA !!

ELECTRONICS STUDENTS ARE VERY LUCKY BECAUSE THEY CAN ENJOY AND WORK WITH A FABULOUS "MIXING TABLE" IN THEIR DAILY LESSONS,  FOR THEIR OWN LEARNING.

IT WAS USED IN 1983, BY THE FAMOUS IRISH BAND U2 IN THEIR ROCK TOUR ROUND SPAIN AND AFTER THEIR PERFORMANCE IN ZARAGOZA, THEY DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE  THE HUGE TABLE WITH THEM, AS IT WAS TOO HEAVY, SO THEY SOLD IT FOR A VERY REASONABLE PRICE. GREAT !!

NOW, IT CAN BE SEEN ON THE SECOND FLOOR, IN THE ROOM AT THE END, ON THE LEFT, IN THE ELECTRONICS BUILDING.

 HERE IS THE PHOTO I HAVE JUST RECEIVED FROM THE HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT AND A FAN OF U2, FRAN DEL BARRIO. THANKS A LOT !! YOUR STUDENTS WILL BE DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO TOUCH IT AND PRACTISE WITH IT, ALTHOUGH , NOW, OF COURSE, THE DEVICES USED IN CONCERTS ARE SMALLER AND DIGITAL.

 BUT, ANYWAY, THIS IS A MUSEUM PIECE THAT WE SHOULD PRESERVE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. 

TRANSLATION WORKSHOP

 

WE HAVE CARRIED OUT A VERY INTERESTING WORKSHOP RELATED TO TRANSLATION, LED BY MARTA IGUACEL FROM USJ.

THE STUDENTS COULD DO IT FROM ENGLISH OR FRENCH INTO SPANISH AS PART OF THE CURRICULUM IN DURING THEIR ESSONS IN THEIR CLASSROOMS WITH MASKS AND OPEN WINDOWS. 

THEY FOUND OUT THAT IT IS NOT AS EASY AS IT MAY SEEM BECAUSE SOMETIMES, THE SOUNDS ARE NOT THE SAME, THE IDIOMS OR THE COLOQUIAL EXPRESSIONS: 

-- WE SAY TOC TOC ( CLOMP, CLOMP IN ENGLISH) 

-- A CAT HAS GOT SEVEN LIVES AND NOT 9 ( IN ENGLISH)

--  I WOULDN'T SAY YOU ARE FAT !! ESTAS MAS GORDO QUE EL MUÑECO DE MICHELIN !!

WE REALLY ENJOYED!! THANKS A LOT MARTA FOR YOUR INTEREST AND YOUR JOY !!
