Restaurant review

Interesting place for an informal dinner with Friends.
 
          A group of mates and I had a friendly dinner here after clases. The service was efficient, we had a table hired so we didn't wait any time and it was really good.
 
          We decided to go here because it was an informal restaurant and the food was cooked in a different way, it was fresh and tasty and the waiters were very helpfull.
 
          The room looks like an old slaughterhouse and also there are a lot of books which can be read there or can be bought. The place is really lively.
 
          Our dinner was funny and the bill was reasonable, in my opinión it was quite a bit less tan in other similar places.
 
          I completely agree with came back and I'm sure we'll enjoy again.

Cinema , The lost activity

A group of friends in the class went to the cinema twice because we had to do a film review or something based in a film, but we hadn't enough time to do it. What a pitty!!!! The first film we watched in original versión was Skeleton twins.

 
 

The second film was Birdman. This one was more difficult to understand because of the plot, but finally the film was next to a comedy and the end was different tan what it was suposed to be.

 

The most important thing of these activities was to be able to understand the plot of the films although we didn't understand every word. This is a funny way to practice our listening skills and oral expresións because all of us more often think in spanish and speak with spanish expresions, so this let us to know what is the common english colloquial use of english.
 
Of course as we are a Young and funny group we spend an amzing time together.
 




 

San Patrick Day

We spend a very very funny afternoon with this activity.


 

 
 

The teacher made three groups and we did a quiz, and obviously my team was the winner and we won an amazing pencil.
In the first team were Ines, M.José , Yolanda and Maria. In the second one were Aurora, Vicky and M.Carmen and in the last one were Jose , Ana , and I.




 

The main objective of this joke was improve our vocabulary and  oral comunication. In my opinión the target was done in a funniest way.

My dialogue with M.José

When we both knew that we were a partner to do a dialogue, we were very happy. M.José is a hard-working person and her english level it's quite good, so I knew she was the perfect partner to improve my english.

 We were preparing our dialogue some weeks before the day that we were suposed to do it. It was a good and hard work but at the same time it was funny and useful. Besides now we meet better each other.

The day of the dialogue we felt confortable and sure about our work, so it was easy and funny, although we have to improve some things.



Our dialogue was about holidays and about what kind of cookery activity we were going to choose . M.José wanted to go London to do a modern cookery course without spending a lot of money.
I wanted to go France to learn about tradicional cookery in a expensive and confortable place where we had all included.
Finally we decided M.José's option because we had children and we had to be sensible.

VISION BOARD!!!!

This is the future I hope it will be mine  ;)



THE LITTLE PRINCE

 
This book is about a young prince fallen to Earth from an asteroid, who met a pilot crased in the dessert. I decided to read this book because it is one of the most important book in France, in fact it was translated into 250 languages, baille included.

This is a philosophical book which makes readers think about differences between adult's world and children's one, and it includes little tales with social criticism.


The book is based on a Little Prince story and it has a lot of new vocabulary: pryck (espina), stand daughts (mantenerse en pié), fib (mentira), tricks (engaños), latch (enganchar), scarf (bufanda), yawn (bostezo), cloack (manto), cope (hacer frente), stammerd (tartamudear)...


The books deals with the narrator explaining that a child drew a Boa Constrictor with an elephant inside its stomach. Adult people wouldn't know what the draw really represents; so he realized when the Little Prince interprets it correctly that only children are able to understand it right.

The narrator is a pilot who has crashed into a dessert due to an accident with his plane. The Little Prince asked him to draw a sheep because he wants one to take it to his asteroid.

Over the course of eight days, while the pilot was trying to repair the plane the Little Prince was telling him the story of his life.

He had visited some asteroids before landing on Earth and he found on them different kind of people. Each of this people with a very different behaviour, this point tries to critize and make us think about life and human nature.


The main characters in the story are:

The little Prince: He is a precious eight years old child with curly blond hair. He is not from Earth. His young age makes him being inocent. When he ask a question, he don't give up until has an answer.

The pilot: He is supposed to be Antoine De Saint-Exupery, because he lived at the same time and he had the same experiences.

The fox: its messages are probably the most important quotations of the book, because they deal with human relationship.

Other characters are people who lived in the astroids:

The King:He wanted to regin over everything.

The Show-off: He wanted to be admired by everybody.

The Drunkard:He drunk because he was ashamed of drinking.

The Bussinessman:He waa always counting stars because he wanted to own as much as posible.

The Lamp-lighter:He was all day lit on and lit off his lamp. He couldn't rest.

The Geographer:His job was to count all the cities, rivers, mountains, etc... without leaving his desk.

Antoine De Sant-Exupery was a French aristocrat, writer, poet and pioneering aviator. He is best remembered for his novel “The Little Prince” and for his lyrical aviation writings.

He was a succesful commercial pilot before World War II working airmail routes. He desappeared over the Mediterranean on his last mission and he is believed to have died at that time.


I would recomend this book for all people age from childhood to adult age, not only because it is easy to read and understant for everybody but also because from my point of view it lets you enjoy reading.

The story is made by some little tales that made a fast and entertaining lecture. Besides the book makes you think about people's daily behaviour .
