If you were the new Bond Girl, what car would you drive?

So you have just been picked as the new Bond girl, however the director has given you a dilemma   What car do you want to drive?  You know it has to look good and you know it has to be fast to have any chance of catching Daniel Craig but so many cars how do you choose?  Top gear have just broadcast a James Bond Special so this website is a good place to start www.topgear.com/uk .  Using this website I was able to decide that without a doubt the car I would want is the Aston Martin DB5.  It is stylish, it has class and at 3 million pounds it is a highly sought after car. So lets have a look at it in action.


So this is my choice but there are many others out there.

What is a blog?

A blog is a new way of keeping a diary.  It is where people can post their ideas and views and other people can comment to create discussions.  This way groups can be created and ideas can be shared. It is a great way of reflecting on what you are learning or on how you are feeling.
You can also post things like videos, pictures and links to other websites in case people want to look into the discussions further.  This can also be used if you want to reference your blog to the information you have used to write it to back up your comments.
Blogs are usually quite plain and a lot less glossy than a website. A blog usually does not have as much of a professional look and layout compared to a website, however there are exceptions.  All blog entries are dated so you can tell if the information is up to date.  The fact you can comment on entries is the main bonus of a blog as most websites are used to get information but are only the opinions of the person designing it.  On a blog however you can view others opinions and evidence and compare it with your own.

My name is Sarah Hanks and I am currently a mature student studying Education Studies at Swansea Met University. 
I am originally from Wellington in Shropshire, where my parents still live but moved to Neath in Wales with my boyfriend a couple of years ago, where I now live with my Chocolate Labrador Bourneville
My boyfriend and I met while we were both serving in the Royal Navy, which was my life for six and a half years.  During this time I travelled all over the world including, West Africa, Falklands, South and North America, the Mediterranean and the Middle East and made some fantastic friends.
I decided I didn't want to be shouted at any more, so I decided it was time to do something different and here I am now, sat in this classroom hoping that in three years time I will be well on my way to becoming a teacher.  I am nervous about the next three years and really want to do my best.  I have already made some great mates who will hopefully help me through and with a lot of hard work and determination we will, fingers crossed, get through this together.
So that's me in a nutshell, so watch this space to see if I make it!
