ESCARLATINA, A RARE BOOK

BY RAFAEL BUENO, BTO1D

I have recently read a book called ‘Escarlatina’. It is about a girl who likes cooking and she wants her parents to give her a present related with this hobby for her birthday.

The gift is a strange cooking teacher. Her parents thought she was a normal teacher, but the girl discovered that Escarlatina -the name of the teacher- was a dead person, something similar to a zombie, who had came to our world because she had a special mision.

I really like this book because it is very funny and makes me feel intrigued. Apart from this, the author is highly a good writer. 

The only criticism I can do is that the first part of the book is not very good, but if you carry on reading, you will have fun.

So all in all, I recommend this book because it is very funny and extremely engaging, something that, as far as I’m concerned, is very important when you read a book.

BLOOMSDAY (16 JUNE)

Bloomsday (Irish: Lá Bhloom) is an annual commemoration on 16 June in Dublin and elsewhere to celebrate the life of Irish writer James Joyce and relive the events in his novel "Ulysses", all of which took place in Dublin on the same day in 1904. This date is a secular holiday in Ireland. The name comes from Leopold Bloom, the protagonist of Ulysses, and 16 June was the date of Joyce's first outing with his wife-to-be, Nora Barnacle, when they walked to the Dublin village of Ringsend.

1
When I see her, it's like the world around me stopped,
and my sight just focused on her eyes.

2
I know this is true love because it hasn't got happy final.
It simply hasn't got any final.

3
Appreciate and enjoy little things,
because throughout your life,
they become the biggest things.

4
You should never surrender,
because the things you think are dreams,
tomorrow they might be reality.

5
A true friend is the one who arrives when everybody leaves
and the one who stays with me when everybody hasn't already been.

6
When you ask me to hang out, I tell you no,
because I don't want to damage myself
with your looks and thoughts.

7
It's true that money doesn't give you happiness,
but it helps you to get whatever it makes you feel glorious.

8
The best memories you will remember are
the ones which, if you think about them,
they would be happening today.

9
You can't start as the best one.
Let yourself be taught by the ones who are better than you,
outdoing yourself to become the best one.

10
You should never judge people badly
before knowing them, because these people
could take part of your life in the future.

1
It's easy to hold the hand of somebody,
but it's difficult to make a shiver.

2
The same fire which made this passion
will finish like ashes.

3
We were like a shooting star:
Beautiful, but momentary.

4
I used to like to be lost in lines of some book.
Now, I am lost in your body edges.

5
People think that a crazy person is
somebody who does senseless things,
but they're who enjoy life.

6
I'll rescue you only focusing my eyes on yours,
but for that reason you should stay by me side.

7
You are a crazy person,
but you are the one who makes me feel special,
like if I was the queen of your smile.

8
I fell down like a baby that couldn't walk,
but I stood up like a warrior.

9
Although it's a little bit difficult for you to understand me,
you're always trying it, and I love that.

10
Fly like a free bird, run like a leopard,
fight like an elephant, and think like a human.

WHY READING A BOOK IS IMPORTANT IN OUR SOCIETY?

BY NEREA ROJAS #BTO2D

Nowadays many people prefer watching a film rather than reading. They don’t understand that reading is fundamental for us to function in today's society.  A good example of this is when you have to find a job. You may ask yourself the reason. For many well-paying jobs reading is a requirement to work. There are reports and memos that must be read and responded to. Poor reading skills increases the amount of time it takes to absorb and redact in the workplace.

In my opinion, it is important because spoken and written words are the buildings blocks of life. You are transformed by the words that you have heard or read. What you become in the future will depend on the amount of time you spend to enrich your vocabulary now. People, families, relationships, and even nations are built from words .Think about it. What you learn about books will help you along all your life. You will need this ability if you want to access to higher education because you have to pass a competitive examination, in which they value your verbal skills and your level of understanding. Besides, you can discover a lot or interesting topics, like society, relationships, or history.

In conclusion, people should read more books and realize that this is a very important habit nowadays. So we should promote it.
