Article of the week


Last week I saw " To Rome with Love" and I really enjoyed. It's a good film, funny, silly, a typical Woody Allen's film.

Here you can read some rewiews:

  -A.O. Scott, THE NEW YORK TIMES
"TO ROME WITH LOVE has pleasures galore."

 -Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE
"It's hard not fall under the movie's spell and indulge in some picturesque escapism."

 -Claudia Puig, USA TODAY
"Funny and silly and packed with crisscrossing story lines about love and desire played out by a terrific cast. Like a gracious host, Woody Allen sends us out of the theater with the sense that we've been to a really good party with people we'd like to see again and again."

 -Karen Durbin, ELLE
"So assured and Allen's plotting so intricate it's hard not to marvel at it. I marveled."

Article of the week 29-10-12

A day such as the 16th of october but 44 years ago, something happened that changed the history of the Olympic Games, and has been observed also, like the clearest demonstration of condemnation about the United States  civil right politics. In the article, we can also find  how this fact is described  in the  history curriculum in the U.S schools. Nowadays it is useful to remember that little actions like these can change  things, althought Tommie Smith, Peter Norman and John Carlos had  to wait a few years to obtain their acknowledgement.

Even though members of the family of Goya painting we were talking about last day were frightening, the paint is not in this scary list. However, there is a "black painting" of Goya between the 10 best scary paintings.

Influences of our last audition in class

Paul Weller is talking about the influence of two cities London and Woking, his own city. But in a moment of the interview it is said about the influence of Ray Davies from the Kinks. This group is one of the most important and influential rock bands of the British Music. One of them is the Jam. It’s clear the influence not only in the music but in the matter. I recommend to you hearing the song of Ray Davies 'A Well Respected Man'. Do you think it influenced the jam’s song? I think so.

I found this youtube channel few months ago.

If you are bored, you can spend few minutes in front of several easy watching videos about grammar, vocabulary, phrasal verbs... Everything seasoned in a German accent.


The proof is in the pudding.

Red Bull Stratos

Last Sunday, Felix Baumgartner jumped from more than 39,000 meters. What do you think about his profession?

I think it´s very challenging because he try to beat before records, and very rewarding. It´s also motivating although at the same time hungry children died and the staff of the project earn a lot of money.

It isn´t a monotonous or tedious job, but it´s very demanding and a bit repetitive if you do free falls every week, not always so important like this.
