Homework: Mother's Day

Your Listen a Minute homework (well in fact it is from ESL Holidays Lessons, but let's call it that way) for next Wednesday: Mother's Day. Bring me your pendrives with three recordings at least. I'm afraid I won't accept you to submit it later than that, I'm sorry. If I do, it means going crazy. After having read and listened to it, perhaps you would like to comment on what it means for you, teenagers, to celebrate Mother's Day. Have you put a lot of effort into making a nice card for your Mum? Have you prepared breakfast for your Mum to have it in bed? Or, at least, have you taken her out for lunch?  Leave your comments, please, and explain. Greetings!

Then your task will be to follow the story I have begun there that opens with the sentence "When he was on his way to the supermarket..." You can follow it the way you prefer and your imagination allows you to, but what you DO have to do is speak clear good English and extend the story in a logical comprehensible way. I hope you enjoy it... and learn at the same time...

El valle de las Gigantas.

The book that I want to recommend is El Valle de las gigantas of Gustavo Martín Garzo.
I have wanted to recommend it because I read it last year and it seemed to me that it was very entertaining and curious.
The book is about a child, Lázaro, that spends the summer with his grandfather.This summer he will discover amazing things about his deceased grandmother.
Sincerely it is not a book to describe, is a book that you must read
It is a most representative Gustavo's book.

The Alchemist

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

The Alchemist is among the 15 best-selling books of all time. Those who read this book will have the opportunity to reflect and learn to fight for their desires and goals in life.

The book not only has a high philosophical content, as is combined with the adventures that has to live Santiago (a young andalusian shepherd), when a mysterious Taifa king encourages him, to get to realize a dream that reveals the location of a hidden treasure buried in the pyramids of Egypt. Then, his simple life changes.

Algún día, cuando pueda llevarte a Varsovia.

I recommed the book of "Algún día, cuando pueda llevarte a Varsovia" because this book shows the acceptance of the neighbors of a portal with a foreigner´s new family. This book people can read it so much young as adult. It is an interesting, entertaining book and I like me very much, especially Laura´s paper, which is the protagonist together with the Polish family that comes to live to his portal.
The autor of the book is Lorenzo Silva.
Thank you for your attention.

The War of Witches.

I recommend a trilogy of ''The War Of Witches'', Maite Carranza.
Because it is a book in which they are fighting among various groups and has something romantic. But it seems very real while at times has some intrigue and many adventures. For all that he likes to stay with this book ''amazed'' at how well done. the book structured is very well and also it explains well. You should I believe that read.

Trece rosas rojas.

Hi!

In four days will be The Book Day and for this reason, I´m going to do a book recommendation...

I think that an interesting book to read could be ''Trece Rosas Rojas''.
This book is about the Spanish Civil War and it tells the sad story about thirteen young girls that lived this hard war...
Seven of them were minors and all the girls were killed on 5th August, 1939. Their crime: Believe in The Republic.
The story of the girls was recovered by Carlos Fonseca, who wrote this book grounds in the letters that the girls wrote...
You can feel how the girls felt their real problems like the abuse, the violations, the aggressions and how felt their family when they saw how the militaries or similar people took their daugthers.

I think that all the people must read books about these topics and know more things about these things...

I hope that you read this book and you like it!

Lorena Gómez Garcinuño 1º B Bach

My recommendation

There is a book I will never forget: The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. It was the first book I read completely unabridged in English and I was just 17!. I felt very proud of myself. It teaches you a lesson of how to struggle in life when you come across any difficulties.

The sicilian, by Mario Puzo

The sicilian is a quite good book, it was written by Mario Puzo, a writter who also writed The Godfather, The last Don, Fools Die or Omertà, among others.

The main characters are Salvatore "Turi" Giulano and his cousin and second in command Gaspare "Aspanu" Pisciotta both from Montelepre, in Sicily.

At that time, 1940, there was much poverty, so that the black market was very important. Giuliano brought food for the wedding of her sister when they were caught by the carabinieri and decided to fight back. Turi was shot, but he also got to shoot the Sergeant through the eye.

Thereafter, he lived as a bandit in the mountains of the region of Montelepre.

VOLCANO IN ICELAND

Last week a volcano in Iceland began to erupt, and it started to cause damage to the atmosphere. For this reason, planes can't fly because the particles in the air are very dangerous for the engine of aeroplanes. Scientists don't know how to stop this accident but they hope it finishes soon.

THE SPRING FAIR.

The Spring Fair, La Feria de Abril, is one of the most typical festivals in Spain. The Spring Fair starts every year on Tuesday's midnight and it finishes the following Sunday. It lasts for six days.

The most famous one is that of Seville, in the district of Los Remedios. On the fairground, the casetas (booths) and attractions are opened. La portada, the main entrance, is a very elaborated entry which is chosen from among many candidates. The Feria starts with el lunes del alumbrao: at midnight, the lights of la portada are turned on. The best known of the Spring Fair are the rebujitos (a drink with Manzanilla wine and Sprite or Seven Up), las sevillanas (an andalusian dance) ant the parades of riders and carriages. La Feria is also celebrated in other places:, such as Cataluña, Madrid, Extremadura or even Alcorcón. (By Álvaro Bravo)

The nurses start to think wether she is mentally ill herself and not a detective as she says ... She has to do a lot of things for the nurses to believe her. But finally ... Is she a detective or a mentally ill person?? I encourage you to read this book! It´s very entertaining. (By: Lorena Gomez Garcinuño).

MY HOLIDAYS

HOLIDAYS VENTAS DE RETAMOSA
My holidays was to the new house that my friend bought in Ventas de Retamosa in Toledo. I was there at a weekend at home on Saturday we went to see a little town. But at it was so hot there, we went home and after it but we a swimming pool, which was too cold but the weather wasn't hot. After dinner we went up the floor upstairs that it was very hot indeed. We had a nap. Later we got up and went back to the pool and at night we went I the village on Saturday night. We had a shower, got dressed, ate dinner and went for a walk around the village where we bought botle of water. I drank the whole botle and we listened to music with phones and looked at people like to play dumb when we came back. After that, without us realizing a Muslim with the bike followed us home and went to bed after all. We left on Sunday before we went to her grandmother's house to say goodbye. It was without doubt a place of lodging in the 18th Century there were three counters. The 16th Century says that it is rather transient and is in the Camino Real from Madrid to Portugal. Founded the place Anton Perez and Francisco de Magadan Fernandez. Perhaps the place of Magan Toledo. In 1542 the counciltown was created. The place was part of the territory of Mount Casarrubios and relied on the important town, as hamlet. The year 1743 is declared a village by the grace of Felipe V, separating from the jurisdiction of Casarrubios. The conclusion is that maybe I'll go back or this year and I hope to enjoy with my friend.
