AKINYEMI, Rowena: Love or Money? Oxford Bookworms Library. Oxford University Press. Oxford, 1981. 841-A1

First, in the Clarckson's house Jackie lives with her mother, Molly. Albert, her uncle; Roger, her brother; and Diane, her sister, visited the house, and all the family argued about their mother's money. The next morning Molly died, the police researched about who killed the mother. All the family wanted to kill the mother because she killed his father, she doesn't want to give the money and she doesn't love them. Her daughter Jackie, killed Molly, because she loves Tom, the gardener, but her mother do not want Tom in her family. When Jackie killed this, she goes to the prison and Roger, Diane and Albert are rich.

This book is very interesting and mysterious, because nobody knows who is the murderer, and explains one important thing: the love, and when someone kill for the all impossible love.

I recommend this book to the people who likes books about mystery and tragedy, because this book is about this.

UK

On Wednesday 14th of December some students were to a class to listen to an English lesson, an English lady taught us. She spoke about her country, United Kingdom: she explained that the Britain's flag is known as Jack Staff because is the union of the three countries of the UK: England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Wales is not represented on the flag because they have a dragon in their flag.
Then she explained about the British Royal Family. The members are the Queen and the Duke of Edinburg, the prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall and the Prince Williams and his wife Catarine, duchess of Cambridge.
Also she explained about the village has the longest place name in Europe and one of the longest place name in the world. The village's name is Lllanfairpullgwyngyllgogerychu

ryndrobwlllllantysiligogogoch.

Pau Guirao Castells. 1st C

We did...

On Wednesday we went to the library and a nice girl spoke about her personality and her city. She is an English teacher of Burlington Books.
She is from Southampton. This city is known for Titanic and there is a very big Port. I learnt the flags and the traditional things.
When a person answered one thing correctly, she gave a present (a pen) to the person who said:
UAW !!
She prepared questions, and we had to choose A, B, C or D. We had papers with the letters and we have to raise the hand and show the letter.
Finally, she chose a person and this person did a contest and the others couldn't help her, well only once. But she had another possibility: phone the girl's mum or fifty-fifty. It was interesting and we laugh a lot!

Berta Arcos, 1st D

BURLINGTON BOOKS VISIT
On Monday 12th one girl from Burlington Books came. She's from Southampton. She explained the more important thins of UK. She asked us and if you answered well, she gave you a pen.
I learnt:
- UK has has got four countries.
- The flag of UK consists of the countries: Scotland, England and North Ireland.
- Wales isn't in the flag because it has got a dragon and they didn't like it.
And then I played I want to be millionaire and I won one notebook because she hadn't got any money.

Christmas

2011-12-20T08:55:00.000-08:00

Chritmas Tree
Custom of the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, and Hebrews. Tre worship was common among the pagan European and survived their conersion to in the Scandinavian customs of decorating the house and barn with evergreens at the New Year to scare away the devil and of setting up a tree for the birds during Christmastime It survived further in the custom.

Kevin Aparicio, 1st C

The Word Christmas
Originated as a compound meaning "Christ's Mass". It is derived from the Middle English Christmas time and Old English "Cristes mæsse", a phrase first recorded in 1038.

Edgar Grau, 1st C

The word Christmas comes from the old English term "cristmes maesse", meaning "Christ·s mass." This was the name for the festival service of worship held on December 25 January 7 in many eastern rite churches to commemorate the bird of Jesus. It is accept that Jesus was born in the small town of Bethlehem a few miles south of Jerusalem.

Dani Castañón, 1st A

The word Christmas comes from the Old English term Cristes maesse, meaning “Christ's mass.” This was the name for the festival service of worship held on December 25 (January 7 in many Eastern Orthodox or Eastern Rite churches) to commemorate the birth of Jesus. Although it is accepted that Jesus was born in the small town of Bethlehem a few miles south of Jerusalem, there is…

CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS
People who live in the cold climates of North America and Europe look forward to a ''white Christmas' because snow is one of the features associated with the holiday season, but Christmas is also celebres in the souther hemisohere, including in the countries of South America and in Australia and New Zealand places where it is summer at Christmas time as well.

Raúl Fernández, 1st A

BOXING DAY
The day after Christmas (or the first weekday, if December 26 falls on the weekend) is a legal holiday known as Boxing Day in the United Kingdom, Canada, and several other countries. It is possible that Boxing Day received its name because churches often open the boxes of money, food, and other items donated by parishioners during the Christmas season.

Ylenia Urbano, 1st A

THE BIRTH OF JESUS
Christian festival celebrating the birth of Jesus. The English term Christmas (“mass on Christ’s day”) is of fairly recent origin. The earlier term Yule may have derived from the Germanic jōl or the Anglo-Saxon geōl, which referred to the feast of the winter solstice. The corresponding terms in other languages—Navidad in Spanish, Natale in Italian, Noël in French—all probably denote nativity.

Pau Robert, 1st A

A CHRISTMAS CAROL by Charles DICKENS
One of beloved and enduring stories of English novelist Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol tells of the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge from a mean-spirited miser to the soul of generosity and the embodiment of the virtues Dickens saw in Christmas. Suddenly conceived and written in a few weeks, A Christmas Carol was published in December 1843.

Judith Ascanio, 1st A

TREES AND DECORATIONS
Ancient, pre-Christian winter festivals used greenery, lights, and fires to symbolize life and warmth in the midst of winter's cold and darkness. These usages, like gift giving, have persisted. The most well-know symbol of a modern Christmas is the evergreen tree, decorated with strings of lights and shiny ornaments.

Ivan Rodríguez, 1st A

MANGER SCENES
A custom tench at originated in southern Europe is the manger scene, often refereed to by its French name, "crèche". This is a small model of the stable where Jesus was born, containing figures of Mary, Joseph, the infant, sheperds, farm animals and the three wise and their grifts.

Jordi Esteve, 1st A

CHRISTMAS MUSIC
The range of Christmas music, both sacred and secular, is large—from the majestic oratorio Messiah by George Frideric Handel to the lighthearted song "Here Comes Santa Claus." One of the most popular of nonreligious tunes is probably Irving Berlin's "White Christmas," written for the movie Holiday Inn, released in 1942. The most traditional Christmas songs are carols.

Mireia Herrero, 1st A

CHRISTMAS CARDS
The first Christmas greeting card is believed to have been designed in England in 1843 by an artist named John C. Horsley for a friend, Sir Henry Cole. The design showed a family party, beneath which the words “A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You” were inscribed. The practice of sending Christmas cards soon became popular in all English-speaking countries.

Reflections

2011-12-15T11:40:00.000-08:00

I choose my worst part. It's reading. I think that it is a little difficult understanding all the words and it's important to understand the questions.

Berta Arcos, 1st D

I think that I don't do read very well because I don't understand the questions and because I don't read with caution.

Judith Ascanio, 1st A

I need studying more.

Pau Robert, 1st A

I choose my worst part. It's speaking. I think that I should practise with friends and record myself and listen to myself.

Rocío Bueno, 1st D

I think that I have to read more books, read well the questions as often as needed and read times back the text.

Reflections on my 2nd ESO English Portfolio

2011-06-14T13:32:00.000-07:00

In this essay I explain the best works in 2nd ESO. The works are: My Readings: Dracula, Multicultural London Food, Reading Circles of Dracula, Skills Test term 3 and The Mystery of the Well.

The first work is My Readings: Dracula. I have chosen this work because is a good example for my level of English.The second work is Multicultural London Food. In this Listening I worked so much. The third work is Reading Circles: Dracula but I think that the explanations are the same that the first work but speaking. The fourth work is Skills Test 3rd term, I don't have much to explain because it's an exam, but it has a good mark. The last work is the Mystery of the Well than is a writing that my grandparents explained to me.

The conclusion: English is the class where we work more and we learn very much.

Gerard Castañón, 2nd B

I chose 3 sheets. The three sheets are Skills Test 3rd Term, My Readings of the book Dracula and the listening Describing a Dream.
In the Skills Test of the 3rd term my mark is 6,9 because the reading, listening, writing and the speaking are good.
In My Readings of Dracula the description of the character and the plot are very very good with 8,5 in the mark, Mrs. Reichardt said:"It's the best of the class".
In the listening Describing a Dream the vocabulary was very easy for me and the mark in 5/6.
Well... The year was very well and the classes were funny. It was better than the last year because I understood more words of English.

Notting Hill Carnival

2011-05-03T01:19:00.000-07:00

The Notting Hill is a celebration in London. It is the largest in Europe. The people get dressed

funny and sexy costumes and there is so loudly music.

In the pictures the people is dressed with exotic clothes. In ones of them, there is a man with a doll onto him and a woman dressed into a giant plant. I would like to go to this carnival.

Facundo Cacace, 2nd B

Important to Caribbean festival arts, like the Luton Carnival, are the ancient African traditions of parading and moving in circles through villages in costumes and masks. Circling villages was believed to bring good fortune, to heal problems, and chill out angry relatives who had died and passed into the next world. Carnival traditions also borrow from the African tradition of putting together natural objects.

Claudia Allmang, 2nd B

The Notting Hill Carnival is in London, it's a most vibrant celebration of diversity, colour and sound. The Carnival is celebrated on 29th and 30th of August. The girls wear costumes and dance, people play the drums, also there are marionettes... People have fun. I'd like to be in this carnival because I like the costumes.

Brian Caparrós, 2nd B

The London Nothing Hill is an annual event which takes places during the bank holiday at the end of August. Nothing Hill carnival has been held on the streets of Nothing Hill. The Caribbean community lead the event. There is a snake with decorations in the floats. The people see the floats and is funny. The characters are dancing. They dress with decorations and swimsuits. Yes, people is having fun. I usually go to the Blanes carnival on sports centre and I'd like going to the Nothing Hill carnival.

POEMS

2011-04-02T10:11:00.000-07:00

THE SEA

It's Summer, and I am lonely
in the middle of the sea.
In a ship with the fish swimming
in the blue and deep sea.

There is no beach, no island
there aren't any boat.
Only me and the big sea like an ocean.
All is quiet and mysterious

I believe I'm lost.
Maybe I will dive to leave here.
Because I'm boring,
I'm alone and I want to escape from here.

Sofía Campagna De León, 2nd C

LOVE

The love is beautiful,

the love is strange.

The lovers hold their hands and kiss

to feel the sensual feeling.

When my eyes look at him

change like two stars in the sky.

And when I smell his sweet aroma

I get crazy.

His arms hug around me

and my face change as the snow.

It's a fantastic dream.

Marina Jaén, 2nd C

FRIENDS

My friends are very important for me,
for me friendship is
to love, understand...

I think if you are really friendly
doesn't matter if it's beautiful, ugly...
The most important is the confidence.

It's important to be nice,

and with friends go for a walk,
or go to the cinema...

Verónica Bono, 2nd B

THE SUN

The sun shines on Sunday morning

and I'm happy.

without the sun, the flowers don't grow

and die,

without the sun people don't live.

For me the sun is hot and love.

For me the sun is light and bright.

For me the sun is power and people.

The sun hides at night

sky is black and star-shaped

but, I'll see the sun tomorrow!

Kilian Aparicio, 2nd C

A Crime

2011-03-27T07:59:00.000-07:00

In one film I saw a burglary. First they stole in a shop and second the police went to this shop but

the boys weren't there.

Noelia González, 2nd A

I saw a crime in a film. It was a murder. One man killed to his neighbour and the police were searching evidences but they didn't find any evidences and the killer wasn't in prison.
But many years after, they found a witness of the crime. The killer was in prison for the rest of his life.

Claudia Allmang, 2nd B

There are many crimes in our town. The most important was in a restaurant. In the restaurant a thief murdered two people, one died soon. The police investigate the crime.

Brian Caparrós, 2nd B

A man was watching TV quietly and suddenly a man jumped and turned the video off and on it again. The man was scared and suddenly the phone rang and he heard a voice saying: a man will die in 7 days.

Lucía Morales, 2nd B

I saw a movie where one man stole in a shop, but the police could not be captured him.But after seven years of searching they found him and put the the killer in prison for the rest of his life.

Sofia Dellanave, 2nd B

I was in the park at 6 o'clock and a young woman phoned and said: There is one man on the floor and there are many blood, it was a burglary of course because the gold watch disappeared of his arm.

Bea Jiménez, 2nd B

I saw on TV that three men went to rob a jewelry with a motorcycle. But an old woman, with her handbag, hit the men and the police caught them. It was amazing!

Reflections on My 2nd Term

2011-03-22T07:34:00.000-07:00

I learnt the parts of animals, the professions, the past continuous, the past simple, the nature, and liked reading The Canterville Ghost.

Brian Caparrós, 2nd B

I really liked the topics because I learned many things like the parts of animals,

the professions, the past simple and I also read a book called The Canterville Ghost.

Sofia Dellanave, 2nd B

In reading I have a good mark because when we are with David we practise a lot of reading, pronunciation, intonation... and vocabulary too. I like David lessons!

Claudia Allmang, 2nd B

This second term I learnt many things. The best unit for me was Solve a Crime. I like it a lot because I learned a lot of new words. I think the exam is good, because the teacher can see if you learn on the 2nd term.

Álex Garcia, 2nd C

This term I improved a lot my English level and I learnt a lot of new vocabulary.

Facundo Cacace, 2nd B

I must study verbs, I must do the homework and I must read.

Bea Jiménez, 2nd B

THE CANTERVILLE GHOST

2011-03-02T04:45:00.000-08:00

WILDE, Oscar: The Canterville Ghost. Oxford University Press. Oxford, 2004. 841/A1-A2

The Otis family bought the house and they didn't believe in ghosts. They weren't frightened. The ghost tried to scare the family but the twins made tricks to him and he couldn't frighten them. He told Virginia why he was alive and he wanted to dead. Virginia helped him and she took a box of jewels from the ghost who told her a secret never mentioned.

Facundo Cacace, 2nd B

I liked this book because I really like the horror and fantasy stories, and also the ghosts, because this ghost is very special.

I think that we worked the book very well, because we practised many things (speaking with David, listening with Nuria, reading and writing (the sheets of exercises). To do the exercises of the book is very good, because these helped us to understand the book.

Mònica Ferré, 2nd A

The ghost was an old man with eyes as red as fire. His grey hair was long and dirty, his clothes were old an full of holes and he were chains.
I liked the book because it is long, of mystery, tragedy and ghosts. Also it was enough to understand, but the last two chapters were complicated.

Gerard Castañón, 2nd B

Virginia is a good girl. I like Virginia because she spoke with the ghost and she helped him to rest in peace.
I think that it's an exciting and funny story. I like it a lot.

Claudia Allmang, 2nd B ESO

I learnt words with David very well and we wrote in a yellow sheet. In the lessons we spoke. The first day we read with Mrs Reichardt the introduction and after we read in our houses and on Fridays we spoke with David about The Canterville Ghost.

Nerea Ortega, 2nd A

I learnt a lot because the book has got a lot of new vocabulary. I liked very much going with the teacher assistant because I like speaking and practising for the future.

Natàlia Castilla, 2nd A

Virginia is the only person that she offered to help the ghost, and she is a very good person.

Lukas Swiatek, 2nd A

I liked the book because there are fantasy, terror, mystery..

Sofia Dellanave, 2nd B ESO

Reflections on My Project

2011-02-21T11:57:00.000-08:00

To do the writing I remembered my travel to Madrid, and I wrote the places and the things that I did in Madrid. Then, I wrote the essay correctly. In the first writing I had more mistakes, and in this one ( the third version) I haven't got any mistake. In the first version the verbs weren't in past, and one phrase had a wrong order.
I spoke the same that in the first essay, but I introduced more information, more things, because I wanted that the speaking was larger.

Mònica Ferré, 2nd A

First I remembered my 13th birthday and wrote in a paper the ideas. Second,y I searched the irregular past verbs and wrote them in the paper. Third I did the writing.

I like more the 2nd writing because this is about my 13th birthday and I think this writing is better than the 1st.

To do the Speaking, first I read it 3 or 4 times. Secondly I explained the project to my friend Júlia. Finally I recorded the speaking.

Noelia González, 2nd A

I studied in my house with the help of my parents to prepare my Speaking.

Sofia Dellanave, 2nd B

I used the past to do the writing. I used dictionaries to look for words that I didn't know what they mean.
I have less mistakes in this writing because I learned more vocabulary this term.
I used the pronunciation of the verbs in past correctly to have a good mark in the speaking and I memorized the most important of the writing.

Claudia Allmang, 2nd B

In the first essay I had many mistakes. I prefer the second essay.
First I made the first, second and third version. Then I studied the writing. Next I told the writing to all the people.

Yaco Cappelletti, 2nd C

This one is better because I improved my English level and I've got more vocabulary. To do the Speaking I tried to remember paragraph by paragraph but only the main ideas, all the other things I said by myself.

Facundo Cacace 2nd B

I searched some information of the travel and I put in the writing the most important. I used the dictionary to search some words. I used pictures of the travel to do the speaking. Also I added more things about the travel in the speaking. In the past writing I did more mistakes.

Mario Garcia, 2nd A

A DREAM

2011-02-08T00:46:00.000-08:00

I had a dream where I was in a tropical island. I was alone and there wasn't food and the water wasn't wet. When I went into the water, I didn't get wet and I couldn't swim. I dipped into the water and I couldn't lift. When the air in my body finished, the dream disappeared and I woke up.

Facundo Cacace, 2nd B

I was in a blue submarine. After we went to the deep of the ocean and saw a lot of fish in small houses between the reef. We put a special diving suit and we swam with the fish. After that I wake up.

Mario Garcia, 2nd A

I had a ball of fire following me. The ball was a bomb. And one day all the people went to France because there was a bomb changed to for my sister and the last day for me.

Nerea Ortega, 2nd A

I had a dream where I travelled to Caribbean and went to the beach and swam in the sea and murdered one shark. The next day I got up in the hospital and the hospital burnt and I woke up in my bed.

Brian Caparrós, 2nd B

One time I had a dream. In my dream I was in Tarragona, in one street and there was a man who wanted to catch me and I ran, ran a lot but he also ran. Later I open my eyes and only was a dream.

Álex Garcia, 2nd C

Long time ago I had a strange dream. I was in the "Four Wind" school and I tried to find many super three tickets. In the school there were many secret corridors and it was like a laberint.

Bob Dylan Blowin In the Wind (1963)

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, ’n’ how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, ’n’ how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they’re forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it’s washed to the sea?
Yes, ’n’ how many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free?
Yes, ’n’ how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn’t see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, ’n’ how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, ’n’ how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind

Andreas Pavel, born in 1945, is a German-Brazilian inventor who is the father of the portable personal stereo cassette player, better known as the Walk man.
Born in Aachen, Germany, Pavel went to São Paulo when he was 6 years old, brought by his father who went to work for the Matarazzo industries.
It was in Brazil, in 1972, that he invented his device, the stereobelt. He lived in a modern house in Morumbi, and was acquainted to some important personalities of the time, as the journalist Vladimir Herzog and the poet Augusto de Campos.
The exact settlement fee is a closely guarded secret but European press accounts said that Pavel received a cash settlement for damages in excess of 10,000,000$ and is now also receiving royalties on some Walkman sales.

SAINT GEORGE PATRON SAINT

2010-04-21T11:49:00.000-07:00

It's traditional to celebrate Sant Jordi in Catalonia, and Saint George is also celebrated in England and in Georgia. In IES S'Agulla we celebrate Sant Jordi. In S'Agulla there is a contest with poems and stories of Sant Jordi. The languages of the contest are English, Spanish, French and Catalan. The books day is on 23rd April.

Alicia Carrasco, 1st C

In Catalonia, we have a Patron Saint, he is Saint George. In England is Saint George, too. The legend is the same. His day is 23rd April, this day is the Book Day because William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes died on this date.
The history comes from a war between the Christian religion and the old religions in Rome. The Christian symbol was Saint George and the old religions symbol was the dragon. In the war, the Christians killed the old religions. Saint George is from Turkey.
In London there are jugglers and famous people in the street this day.
In Catalonia there are many stalls in the streets on 23rd April. The boys give roses to the girls and the girls give books to the boys. In the primary school we did paintings in Sant Jordi’s Contest at weekend.

Facundo Cacace, 1st B

Saint George is on day 23 April. In Britain is no popular, it's a normal day, but in Catalonia men give roses and girls give books. Blanes Patron Saint is Anna, it is celebrated on 26 th July.

Sofia Dellanave, 1st B

In Catalonia, England and Georgia, Saint George is the Patron Saint. This is celebrated on 23rd in April. But in England don't celebrate this day, in Catalonia celebrates. In Catalonia the women give a book to men, because it's the book's day, and the men give a red rose to women,because in the legend the blood of dragon transformed in a red rose. In London celebrate different activities in the street. I like when in the school celebrate a literaty contest. Saint George was from Turkey.

Noelia González, 1st A

In England doesn't celebrate Saint George Day but here yes. But Saint George day also is the Patron Saint in Georgia. In England is not holiday on 23rd April. But Saint George isn't from England or from Catalonia, he is from Turkey. Saint George legend is a Christian Legend. In Catalonia the women give a book to her partner and the men give a rose to his partner. But the tradition of give a book is because on 23rd April William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes died.

SAINT GEORGE LEGEND

2010-04-20T12:29:00.000-07:00

THE DIARY OF A SILCAN VILLAGER
1st April
Today I’m starting to write to you. I am in Silca, a cold town in Catalonia. I am Erle, a young student and servant of the king. I am an orphan and I haven’t got money. I am writing this personal diary because today have occurred two little earthquakes and there is a burnt forest. 5th April
After the earthquakes it didn’t happen anything and I am very surprised. I couldn’t write because I was very busy the last days.
12th April
I am very desperate today. A dragon arrived to the town and ate a lot of animals. The king said that we have to give some animals for its diet but are finishing and when they finish completely, we won’t eat meat and we will die. I am very exasperated, I have to go out the town but I haven’t got money and I don’t know where I have to go. I need a miracle.
17th April
The dragon ate all the animals and the king said that we are going to give people to the dragon. The first raffle was today, the unfortunates were the smith and his family. The dragon ate the children in only one mouthful. It was horrible. Now it is a quarter to three in the morning. I can’t sleep, I am traumatized. I need to write. I am desperate. OK I’m going to describe the dragon. It’s very big, it’s enormous. It is blue and his head is like an adult person. Its arms are short and its legs too.
23rd April
It’s twelve o’clock, it’s time of the dragon lunch…Wow! Today the unfortunate is the princess! I don’t know what I have to do. The soldiers are taking the princess to the dragon’s cave… It’s amazing, the princess is going to die! What? Someone is riding a horse to here. He or she has got an amour, is a knight! A knight is coming to save the princess, it’s like a tale! The knight is a… is a man! He has got a lance, he’s walking to the dragon and… Wow! He hammed his lance in the dragon’s mouth and saved the princess! But the dragon’s body is converting into a rose, the knight takes the rose to the princess… It is so romantic. I am going to ask the name of the knight… OK, his name is George. What? He is leaving the village. Is he crazy? Today is an amazing day!
24th August
I even remember the day of the knight. I remember his name, it is George. I will remember it forever!

A long time ago, in a village there was a big dragon. People was very scared because the dragon was very big! But they couldn't do anything against of that terrible dragon.

The dragon ate all the animals in the village and people had to reach a deal with the king.
The king decided to do a raffle. Every day a person would be given to the dragon for their food. Every day the dragon ate a person. But one day, the raffle decided that day was the princess that should be eaten by the dragon. The king didn't want his daughter for surrenders the dragon but people complained and they said that his daughter should also be eaten as other people. The king decided that his daughter, the same day would be delivered to the dragon. He said goodbye to her daughter and the young princess went to the cave of the big dragon.
Suddenly, a knight came riding a horse with a shield and a sward and he drove the sward into the dragon. From the dragon's blood appeared many red roses and the knight clasped a rose and he gave to the princess. The king was so happy and he wanted to the boy marry with the princess. But the knight had other missions to comply and he had to go.
So he said goodbye and everyone was happy!!

THE CANTERVILLE GHOST

2010-04-10T07:59:00.000-07:00

WILDE, Oscar: The Canterville Ghost. Oxford University. Oxford Bookworms, 2. Oxford, 2004 . 841/A1-A2

The story is about a family who moves to a house which is haunted and there is a ghost but this ghost is not scary, so children laugh doing ambushes and giving shocks it.

I liked the book because the story is based on children who disturb ghosts and so children are not afraid of ghosts.

The book is rather childish but to learn English is good because there are many words to learn. I recommend this book to learn more. Although the story is quite simple, from the beginning until the end is very entertaining.

In Britain people celebrate Easter by different way that us but similar days. For example, they paint eggs and hide in the garden and children look for them. In Catalonia we paint eggs but don't hide eggs. In Catalonia is usual eating "la mona". Godfathers give to children. On Easter Tuesday in Blanes we go to "el Vilar".

FOOTBALL

The game is played on a rectangular grass or artificial turf field with a goal in the centre of each of the short ends. The object of the game is to score by driving the ball into the opposing goal. In general play, the goalkeepers are the only players allowed to use their hands or arms to propel the ball; the rest of the team usually use their feet to kick the ball into position, occasionally using their torso or head to intercept a ball in mid-air. The team that scores the most goals by the end of the match wins. If the score is tied at the end of the game, either a draw is declared or the game goes into extra time and/or a penalty shoot-out, depending on the format of the competition.

It was made of leather, with clothes inside and with an elastic rubber tied to the hand that permit them to get it back.
