Our first task ☺ Commented

"Are you ready for a little chat?
And a song about the Internet?
It's a story ‘bout a social door
You’ve never seen before"
"The Social Network Song" - Valentina Monetta


So, for this new school year, our first English task was sending an e-mail to our teacher as an introduction and, then, uploading it to our blog. I added some commentary/reaction to it as I uploaded it because I actually realise, some time later, that it was not half as formal as it had to be!

So, there it is:

Hi teacher!

My name is [REDACTED]! Well, that's the name I was given by my parents, but everyone who knows me calls me Heather, I just like the name better. I'm also a fanatic Diamond, which doesn't mean that I'm worth millions (or maybe yes, who knows*) but that I'm a Marina And The Diamonds' fan, and an enthusiastic Eurofan (♥Eurovision♥)**. For people who care about these things, I'm also a girl who has had the misfortune of being born in Spain... and male***. I prefer taking that with humour 😓****.
I hope this year will be really fun 😄 ! I think I'm quite good at English (well, that's what I've been told so far!) so I aim to get the Advanced certificate next July... But I still struggle with phrasal verbs and collocations 😭 ! Maybe I should go step by step and take the FCE first, but, well, money leaks, you know 😞 , so the best thing to do is getting it with the lowest number of exams possible 😅 !
Also, as mentioned in class, I created a new blog for BTX (sorry 😥 )*****, so there are the promised URLs:
The 4th ESO blog: http://withouturlbutcool.blogspot.com.es/ Its title is "Littlest Things".
The 1st BTX blog: http://potatoesareradioactive.blogspot.com.es/ Its [provisional!] title is "Super-duper-interesting Title." ******

* Definitely yes, why would I add all of that periphrasis to state the obvious?
** Just one thing about Eurovision: if you don't love it, you've probably never seen it!
*** Okay, saying this by e-mail to a person I know for... a day? is pretty much a reputation suicide. Contrary to what I could have thought, though, this didn't bring any reaction or reference to the response given by our teacher!
**** I realise this could have been not so ridiculous as a class work if there weren't so many emotes, especially from this point on.
***** In case you haven't read anything from Littlest Things, this was because its last post was a definitive goodbye. A comeback would have killed it...
****** This was changed for a good reason...
