My favourite book

I've read a lot of books in my life, but the best book in my opinion is "Crusade in jeans", from 1994 and its writer is Thea Beckman.
This books is about a boy that travels across the time and he appears in 1212, in the Middle Age.
He experiences many obstacles and calamities with his new friends, until he manages to arrive his time.
I read it when I was fifteen years old, and it shoked me.
In my opinion, it's the best book I have read.

I like it all.

Film or book

In my opinion a better film was "Three colors: Blue" from 1993 and the director was Kieslowski (more or less). It's the first of the trielogy of fims dealing with contemporary French society. It's about how the wife of a composer deals with the death of her husband and child. Of course it's a drama and it stars Juliette Binoche. Movie shows sensations and feelings communicated almost exclusively across the light, the music, and the looks. I think it's a masterpiece.
Dear Carmen!
We've arrived at Eurodisney, and it's terrible (for me) and worderfull (for my children).
We're staying in "an authentic old Wester town surrouning, Disney's Hotel Cheyenne".
About the weather, it has been fantastic so we've spent hours at the outdoor pool and at the whirlpool bath. It's posible to go some sporting activities (golf, treetop adventure trail, skating rink, an more activities) but we haven't played because we haven't free time.
Well, we are going to have dinner.
We see you the nest week.

My village

Hello everybody!
My village has about 2.300 inhabitants. It's near the cost, more or less than 4 km from the sea. It has beaches in the north, and it has a big village in the east, Castro urdiales, and another in the west, laredo.From the house windows i can see mountains and forests. The landscape is a beautiful valley with a river runs throught it. It's very quiet. But there are somethings than I don't like. There aren't libraries, cinemas, art galleries, train station, ect. We need to take private transportation to go to work, the student's institutes, to the cinema, to the swimming pool..... to too much activities!. I think, it's a problem!

Spain is beautiful, with many contrasts, the north is very green with large meadows and mountains, with small but very beautiful beaches, in the east there are huge beaches and a lot of partying, oh and the modern and avant-garde city of Barcelona; in the center the huge plateaus and the great city od Madrid; in the west Galicia and its estuaries, they are fantastic, and warmth farther south. Because in the south is the sun, beaches, mountains ( Sierra Nevada, snow at a few miles from the sea) and in the south of the south the best landscape Cabo de Gata, a place to get better.

I hope you can see it soon.

Best wishes.

Para aquellos que no habéis practicado, os voy a proponer el primer ejercicio de redacción que os propone el libro. Es muy sencillo, pero hasta que empecemos a redactar por primera vez, no vamos a entender lo difícil que es la primera vez.

Entonces, de lo que se trata es que escribáis un email, como el que aparece en la página 143 de vuestro libro de texto, donde, además, de encontrar un email, os explican las partes del mismo. De momento, lo que se pretende es que tomando este como referencia, escribáis vosotros uno cambiando algunos datos o frases. De momento eso sería suficiente.

Podéis hacerlo a través de la palabra "comments" que aparece en este blog o escribiendo un "post nuevo" como el que yo acabo de escribir.

Ánimo y no dejéis de practicar.

Write

Hola

Este blog lo he creado por aquellos alumnos que no tienen quien les corrija sus redacciones, así que la idea es que todos escribáis aquí redacciones que yo, o cualquier otro tutor del CUID, os sugiera y que entre todos os hagáis correcciones. Yo intentaré corregir algunas cosas, pero vosotros también podéis decir lo que creéis que se debe corregir.

Un saludo,

Ana Vázquez.
