THE CANTERVILLE GHOST

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..

Reflections on My Project

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.

A DREAM

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.

The International Peace Day

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 invented the Walkman

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.

Tom Cranston, Fred Longstaff and Kenyon Taylor invented the mouse (computing)

This people working on the Royal Canadian Navy’s DATAR project in 1952. Independently Douglas Engelbart invented the first mouse prototype in 1963 with Bill English. The invention of the mouse was just a small part of Engelbart’s much larger project. The first mouse used two gear-wheels perpendicular to each other. A mouse has already been developed and published by the German Company Telefunken. The Telefunken model had a ball, as it can be seen in most later models until today. Some models from the year 1972 are still well preserved.
