Hola, de nuevo
HELLO AGAIN! Today we began the new course 2009-2010 (2nd base/elementary). The Head of Studies has presented the course pleasantly and positive. On Monday we will meet the new teacher (Felisa Conejero). Many colleagues started with last year together and now others have joined. I look forward animated, because to a certain age .... is not the same. But there’s always something new to learn and this is one of my shortcomings. From here restart my blog (domestic) and generously had roped Mª Jesús B. (my 1st and former teacher). Greetings to all. |

"BLOOD DIAMONDS"
My comments on the book:
BLOOD DIAMONDS - Richard MacAndrew -
• Plot: In London journalists Harley Kirkpatrick and Annie Shepherd see their first article published on the front page of the "Daily Post" - four and half million people bought it -.
In Africa some sell diamonds to drugs and work, but others ...
A.Shepherd and H. Kirkpatrick, journalists of the "Daily Post", that Erik Van Delft is chaining diamonds for weapons on the internet. When H. Patrick achieves an interview wiht E. Van Delft, his driver hits him. They relate Erik with Lafon Jewellery, where the owner, S. Lafon is interested to help in the investigation. S. Lafon informs where was Erik´s house. On the beach next to the house, Harry sees the change of weapons (guns) for diamonds. A. Shepherd previusly alerted the police, who already suspected, and they arrest them.
The journalists publish the news, which is now on the first page of their newspaper.
• Characters: Harley Kirkpatrick, Annie Shepherd, Erik Van Delft, Sophie Lafon, Van Delft´s driver, the police, the boat´s man
• Other issues:
- Places: Daily Post, Lafon Jewellery (Hatton Garden-London, Paris, Antwerp), Angola, South Africa, Chartehouse Hotel, house in Devon, Southampton, Beesands, the beach.
- Things: guns, diamons, cars, boats, the baseball bat, bag, ...
• I liked it. I think that is very suited to our level.
• I recommend it for the 1st elementary year
About diamonds still today
Diamonds of War (or blood diamonds) are those diamonds from a war zone and sold, usually clandestinely, to finance the war effort.
In some cases, the United Nations had sanctioned the export of diamonds, arguing that fund armies facing legal governments or involved in serious violations of human rights, thus prolonging the conflict. In particular, drew the Angolan UNITA and the RUF in Sierra Leone diamonds as providers of war.
FANTASTIC VOICE
NEW BRITISH TALENT IN THIS SONG ...
"I DREAMED A DREAM"
There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine unstated
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he’ll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I’m living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
