This Week's Oral Assignment

NA1: You are invited to record yourselves speaking about ONE of the themes below and then send your work to me for assessment. Your monologue should be about 3 - 4 minutes in length. I shall be listening out for the following characteristics:

• clear organisation and structure, and an appropriate variety of discourse markers;
• vocabulary that is varied, concise and appropriate to the task;
• pronunciation that is correct and intonation that is appropriate;
• a fluent discourse with appropriate pauses;
• a variety of grammatical structures appropriate to the advanced level;
• an awareness of "audience".

Your writing task from Unit 3 is expressing your opinion about climate change. Now let's literally hear your opinion on one of these topics:

• Men are from Mars, women are from Venus
• It's better to travel than to arrive
• Education is becoming less important
• Any form of stereotyping is destructive
• Rich countries should help poor countries
• Television has made us a nation of watchers, not doers
• Music is the poetry of the air
• Children are our most valuable resource

New deadline for this assignment is Friday 13th January on the understanding that I cannot guarantee feedback before the January "prueba de dominio" exams. Importantly, do NOT WRITE OUT your work in order to read it as if it were a text from a book. This is supposed to be a spontaneous activity as well as constructive preparation for the oral exams. So take five minutes to prepare your ideas in note form and then start recording. A clear introduction and conclusion are essential. Do it quickly but efficiently.

This Week's Important News for NB2

The reading books for this academic year have arrived. They cost 6 euros each. We will start with The New Zealand File. You can buy it from Ana from Monday onwards. Please bring the exact money. You have to read and listen to the story and complete the activities for 16th / 17th January.

We also have to start thinking about our next oral assignment. This time, you will work in pairs. You have to do two assignments.

Assignment One:

Person A: interview Person B about his / her special job as a tour manager for a famous person. Importantly, you must introduce your work, for example, "Hello, Carmen! I want to ask you about your job." You should have a conclusion, too: "Well, that was very interesting. Thank you for your time."

Assignment Two:

Person B: phone Person A to explain why you cannot keep your date with him / her. Apologise to him / her, give your reasons and promise to do something else on another occasion.

Both tasks should last a total of 5 minutes, that is, about 2 minutes 30 seconds each.

Important advice: don't read your work; it should sound as spontaneous as possible!

Deadline = 13th January.

Nasa discovers two Earth-size planets outside our Solar System

Astronomers have spotted the two smallest, most Earth-like planets to be discovered outside our solar system. They are orbiting a star called Kepler-20 almost 1,000 light years away in the constellation Lyra. Reaching the two newly-discovered planets would take the fastest spacecraft more than 4m years.

This Week's Essay

Earth seen from Apollo 17

The Gaia theory was formulated by James Lovelock in the 1970s. This theory says that the Earth is like a big organism that regulates the natural environment to keep the necessary conditions for life. 

I believe that the Earth is telling us that we have chosen a wrong way to live on the blue planet and we must change immediately. Floods, hurricanes, heat waves, droughts, earthquakes and tsunamis are some of the signals that show me that something wrong is going to happen.

I believe that we still can do something. For example, two years ago I participated in a project to save energy in buildings. I chose the bathroom to study how to save water. Every time we use the lavatory we consume ten liters of water. In a family with four members this is 58,400 liters for a year. Connecting the waste pipe from the washbasin to the cistern of the lavatory we can save all that water. It is easy, and Roca has manufactured a washbasin and water that they have called W+W.  The problem is that, at the moment, it costs 3,000 euros.

In conclusion, I believe that everyone can contribute to changing the world, but we are too lazy.

This Week's Writing

5, Rue Bretonneaux

37000 Paris

France

30th November 2011

Dear Sofía,

Thank you so much for your letter.

My sweet friend, only a few weeks have passed but I miss you terribly. Is everything okay without me?

Last Monday I started my new job. The commute is too long! Every day, I take the bus next to my house, and it takes an hour to arrive! It's terrible! I have no time for anything.

The flat is wonderful! It is very big and it has a terrace near the Eiffel Tower. The furniture is from the period of the French revolution. In this house I somethimes feel like a distinguished lady: vive la revolution!

Fortunately, I don't have any problems communicating with the French people because I'm bilingual.

At the weekends, I have French cooking classes. Last week, the academy staff called Jamie Oliver. With him, we learned to cook a camembert cheescake! It was delicious!

Remember the plane takes only 40 minutes to arrive. I hope to see you soon.  Guillermo sends you a big kiss. He's studying French at the moment.

Anyway, that's about it for now.

Best regards,

Nisa

PS: When you come next month, don't forget to bring a warm coat because Paris is very cold!

What Did You Learn about Vampires?

The Abbey in the Oak Wood by Caspar David Friedrich

Sincerely speaking, there was nothing that Milena said I didn’t know. Well, she said that Stoker was English but he was born in Ireland so I suppose she made a little mistake. In fact I have to say that I’ve been a vampire freak since I was a child and everything related to vampires appeals to me, especially the figure of Count Dracula. Actually, every year for carnival or Halloween I dress up in a Dracula costume.

I think I have read the story of “The Prince of Darkness”, written by Bram Stoker, three or four times and I’ve got a special edition of the film version on DVD besides a lot of movies on my computer.

I don’t know the reason why I’m so fond of Gothic horror stories; maybe it’s the atmosphere because they always take place in castles steeped in mystery and darkness… If I had to choose a destination in Europe I would choose Romania for holidays.

In conclusion, I felt very happy when I found out that a specialist would give us a lecture about vampires but a little disappointed because this didn’t give me a new focus on the issue. Don’t you agree?

The first book is about a British spy, Ian Munro, who was suddeny called to a secret meeting in New Zealand. He senses that he is being followed. Who's following him? And why is the coded information he is given so secret that others are prepared to kill for it? Can Munro escape and crack the code?

How I Met Myself  opens on an icy winter's evening in Budapest. John Taylor is on his way home from the office when a man runs into him and knocks him over. The man turns to say sorry and John is amazed at what he sees: the man is John's double. The double rushes away but leaves no footprints in the snow. Over the next year it becomes clear to John that the meeting was no accident and that his double has a very important message to give him.

The Seven Natural Wonders of the Canary Islands

Paz (NB2) says that she has been in love with the dunes of Maspalomas since she was a little girl. And who can blame her?

Sunset at Sardina

Ana Elisa (NA1) took this photograph. She loves to see the sunset at Sardina. Isn't it a magical view?

Pedro (NA1) has sent us this old photo taken in a corner of the Laurisilva forest in the Canary Garden, Gran Canaria. It contrasts greatly with my first impression. When I visited the Laurisilva forest in La Gomera for the first time, I found it cold and spooky. Maybe it was because it was a particularly grey day.

This Week's Nature

Iguazu Falls, Brazilian / Argentinian border

Idaira has sent us this video about the new 7 Wonders of Nature. Thank you so much!

If we were to run a competition about the 7 Natural Wonders of the Canary Islands, which places would you nominate? Why don't you send us a photo, too? (My personal choice would  be the Cola del Dragón as seen from Agaete. I remember the first time I saw it from the bus window I almost stopped breathing; I was so captivated by its beauty.)

This Week's Photo

The volcanic eruption off El Hierro, as photographed by NASA

In July 2011, volcanic tremors began on the island of El Hierro in the Canary Islands. By September, many tourists evacuated the resort island, fearing a volcanic eruption. In early October, an underwater volcanic vent began erupting, sending ash and chemicals into the sea and causing muddy discolouration of the waters south of the island. Reports from a recent underwater survey by a Spanish research vessel revealed the presence of an eruptive vent and crater about 500 feet (150 metres) below the surface, accompanied by submarine 'pillow' lavas – pillow-shaped lavas that form underwater. The vent location was marked by brownish discolouration off the south tip of the island. Currents diluted and dispersed the volcanic material to the south and west.
