ENGLISH DEPARTMENT
In our Secondary school our main goal is that our students sit for Cambridge Exams:
They sit for PET in second Year and and for FCE in fourth Year. This is why we have decided to start with a new series of books called Activate! This is an exam course in three levels that has been especially designed to engage and motivate teenage students with its lively, modern design and teenage-appropriate content. Not only does Activate! have a wide range of interesting topics to keep teenagers focused on learning, it also has a fun DVD for students which offers skills –based development and practice for intermediate level students through engaging topics from contemporary teen culture. These topics are similar to the topics seen in teenage magazines, on TV programmes, in films and websites and heard in the music they listen to. These familiar topics will encourage students to discuss their own views on these issues and be actively involved in using English.

We would like to share these thoughts with you!!!
ATTITUDE
by: Charles Swindoll
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.
And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.
ACTITUD
Cuanto más vivo, más me doy cuenta de la importancia de la actitud ante la vida.
La actitud, para mí, es más importante que los hechos. Es más importante que el pasado, que la educación, que el dinero, que las circunstancias, que los fracasos, que los éxitos, que lo que otras personas piensan o dicen o hacen. Es más importante que las apariencias, los dones o habilidades. Hará o destruirá una compañía ... una iglesia ... una casa.
Lo notable es que tenemos una opción para todos los días respecto a la actitud que asumiremos ese día. No podemos cambiar nuestro pasado ... no podemos cambiar el hecho de que la gente actúe de una manera determinada. No podemos cambiar lo inevitable. Lo único que podemos hacer es jugar en la cuerda que tenemos, y esa es nuestra actitud. Estoy convencido de que la vida es un 10% lo que me pasa y el 90% cómo debo reaccionar ante ella.
