We have colored paper, dice and chips. In three papers of different colors, each of us writes an important date in our life, a touristic place in our country and our favorite word in our language. In my case: 1977, Santiago de Compostela and "bolboreta". Then put those words on the table and built a board with them. We took the dice and the person who touches, speaks for 30 seconds about one of the words ( the other person tries to guess the meaning of these three elections).
The most important part of the class is when we take the issue of contemporary English. The creation of new words is something fascinating in this language. From Brangelina to brolly, veggie, Wags, Bridezilla, de-friend ... and not forgetting the binomials: hustle and bustle, odds and ends, wine and dine... We have new words from blending, clipping, loanwords / borrowing or acronyms.
In the afternoon workshop: Poetry with Jim Carmichael. Escape to The Orchard Tea Garden and visit to Cambridge University Bookshop.
