Charlie and the Chocolate Factory


Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, is a children's book that’s written by Roald Dahl in 1964.
This book is about poor child, Charlie Bucket which ever eats the same because his family is very poor. Every year in his birthday, his family gives him a Willy Wonka chocolate bar. One day, Willy Wonka decide to do a draw and factory put ten golden tickets in ten chocolate bars, because fifteen years before to the beginning of the story, Willy Wonka opened the chocolate factory, but spies stole his recipes, and then, closed the factory to the public. With golden tickets, ten children and one person of these families can go inside factory.
When only needed to take one ticket, Charlie found a bill, and his family says that he have to buy a chocolate bar, and when he bought a chocolate bar, inside that, there is a golden ticket.
He goes with his grandfather to the factory, and inside the factory, Charlie learns very important things because he lives many adventures inside the factory with the other children.
I don’t explain you the end of the book because if you don’t read them and you want to do this, you know what happens.
I love this book because when I read this, I can remember how I feel when I’m a child, because the first time that I read this was been when I’m seven.
I believe that this book shows the many types of persons that there are in the world, and it’s very funny.

From Hell

I recommend an awesome comic called From Hell, which author is Alan Moore who wrote V for Vendetta, Watchmen and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and his cartoonist is Eddie Campbell. It was publish from 1991 to 1996 in England, but the first edition of my book in Spanish was in November 2001.

The plot of the book is about Jack the Ripper who kills four or five whore. Alan Moore wrote about the legend of who is behind Jack the Ripper. He maintains that is a doctor who kills the whores to hide a scandal in the crown. The story it’s very interesting and fascinating that hooks you.

I choose this book because I love Alan Moore and I like the stories of murders. I bought it in a comic bookshop in front of Santa Maria, and I think I took the last one.

The Artist


The Artist is a famous film who won five oscars in 2012, is a French romantic comedy drama in the style of a black-and-white silent film.
The story takes place in Hollywood, between 1927 and 1932, and focuses on the relationship of an older silent film star and a rising young actress, as silent cinema falls out of fashion and is replaced by the talkies.
You must to be attentive to the film, because it’s different for other films you watched.
I love the film!!!

How do you pronounce "hamburguer"???

Dear students,

First of all thanks to all of those who have already participated in our blog!

Last day in class we were talking about the importance of pronunciation in order to make ourselves understandable. Take a look at this video, laugh a little and tell me, is it important to improve our pronunciation? :)
Remember, the key is practice, practice, practice and just play some theatre! There's no room for embarrassment in our class!
