satisfacción por el trabajo realizado.<br />
No <strong>de</strong>jéis <strong>de</strong> leer los artículos <strong>de</strong> vuestros<br />
compañeros en los que comparten sus<br />

No quiero terminar sin hacer mención <strong>de</strong><br />
aquellas personas cuyas creaciones no se<br />

¡Hasta el próximo número<br />
y buena lectura!
Dans le cadre du trentième anniversaire<br />
<strong>de</strong> l’entrée <strong>de</strong> Marguerite Yourcenar à<br />
l’Académie française, nous sommes<br />
invités par l’Institut Français <strong>de</strong> Madrid<br />
à une table ron<strong>de</strong> avec un écrivain, une<br />
journaliste et une critique littéraire.<br />
Après la présentation <strong>de</strong>s intervenantes, le<br />
modérateur a fait l’éloge <strong>de</strong> Marguerite Yourcenar<br />
comme une figure incontestable et incontournable<br />
<strong>de</strong> la littérature française du 20e siècle, une femme<br />
avec une personnalité fascinante, voyageuse <strong>de</strong>s<br />
civilisations anciennes, amoureuse <strong>de</strong> la nature et<br />
fervente humaniste.<br />
La conversation a tourné autour <strong>de</strong> cinq sujets, à<br />
savoir: comment les intervenantes se sont-elles<br />
rencontrées avec les oeuvres <strong>de</strong> Marguerite<br />
Yourcenar? Comment caractériser son oeuvre?<br />
Est-ce qu’elle a été victime <strong>de</strong> son succès?<br />
Pourquoi les personnages principaux <strong>de</strong> ses<br />
oeuvres étaient-t-ils surtout <strong>de</strong>s hommes? Et<br />
LA ESCUELA <br />
Table ron<strong>de</strong> sur<br />
Marguerite Yourcenar<br />
2<br />
pour finir, par quel livre faut-il commencer à<br />
découvrir l’oeuvre <strong>de</strong> Marguerite Yourcenar.<br />
Grâce à ces sujets <strong>de</strong> conversation, nous avons<br />
appris que Marguerite Yourcenar a été élevée<br />
par son père à cause <strong>de</strong> la mort <strong>de</strong> sa mère,<br />
qu’elle a reçu une éducation supérieure issue<br />
d’un milieu familial culte, que ses oeuvres ne<br />
sont pas pour tout le mon<strong>de</strong>, qu’elle était une<br />
femme libre qui écrivait en liberté et qui parlait<br />
énormément <strong>de</strong> l’amour et qu’elle a ouvert le<br />
chemin <strong>de</strong> la littérature historique sentimentale.<br />
L’auteure française est connue en Espagne grâce<br />
à l’ancien Premier ministre espagnol Felipe<br />
González, qui, en venant d’être élu, disait qu’il<br />
était en train <strong>de</strong> lire “Mémoires d’Hadrien”, le<br />
livre le plus connu <strong>de</strong> Marguerite Yourcenar.<br />
Pour finir, une pensée <strong>de</strong> cette femme hors du<br />
commun: « J’ai plusieurs cultures, comme j’ai<br />
plusieurs pays, j’appartiens à tous ».<br />

Pourquoi aller le vendredi au cours <strong>de</strong> français ?<br />
La femme idéale est là, face à toi,<br />
Le café, la musique, ses yeux, son parfum qui t’enveloppe<br />
Elle te <strong>de</strong>man<strong>de</strong> si tu veux être son roi<br />
Pas <strong>de</strong> problème, mon ami ! Au cours <strong>de</strong> français je galope !<br />
Qu’est-ce que je peux faire pour elle ?<br />
Elle me parle <strong>de</strong> français, et je trouve qu’elle est si belle<br />
Mais je sais que je suis dans un dilemme<br />
Aller au cours <strong>de</strong> français ou rester ici même<br />
J’ai fini par la convaincre <strong>de</strong> m’accompagner<br />
Et comme ça tous les <strong>de</strong>ux on aura gagné<br />
Vous avez été invité par votre fiancé<br />
Et vous voulez très chic être habillé<br />
Manque d’argent ? Ne serait-ce pas mieux d’aller<br />
Vendredi soir au cours <strong>de</strong> français ?<br />
Aujourd’hui, c’est vendredi, je suis triste<br />
La semaine <strong>de</strong> travail arrive à sa limite<br />
Qu’est ce qu’on peut faire sans rien à étudier ?<br />
Ne t’inquiète pas, mon ami, le cours <strong>de</strong> français<br />
Et là pour te sauver<br />
Vendredi soir, c’est le jour<br />
D’aller faire les courses<br />
Votre femme vous dit :<br />
« Au Carrefour ! Allons-y, allons-y !<br />
Il y aura plein <strong>de</strong> promotions partout ! »<br />
Au lieu d’un 3 pour 2<br />
Moi je préfère le cours<br />
Alors que les arbres per<strong>de</strong>nt les feuilles<br />
Et soufflent <strong>de</strong>s vents sans arrêt<br />
Nous avons froid dans les oreilles<br />
Et pourtant nous allons au cours <strong>de</strong> français<br />

1. ENTOURAGE<br />
A propos <strong>de</strong> l’entourage <strong>de</strong> Bogotá, nous<br />
pouvons dire que c’est une ville avec<br />
beaucoup <strong>de</strong> pollution à cause <strong>de</strong> l’énorme<br />
circulation et, <strong>de</strong> même, l’utilisation du gaz<br />
comme combustible pour les voitures<br />
produit une sensation d’étouffement<br />
partout dans la ville. Pourtant, étant donné<br />
qu’on parle d’un pays situé dans le centre <strong>de</strong><br />
l’Amazonie, où il pleut beaucoup, le paysage<br />
que l’on trouve est couvert <strong>de</strong> montagnes et<br />
absolument vert.<br />
Si vous avez la possibilité <strong>de</strong> voyager à Noël,<br />
vous pourrez profiter <strong>de</strong>s merveilleux<br />
éclairages électriques suspendus entre les<br />
arbres du centre-ville.<br />
2. SECURITE<br />
Ce qui a attiré mon attention c’est surtout la<br />
présence d’un policier au coin <strong>de</strong> chaque<br />
rue. Je pense que c’est une mesure pour<br />
éviter les enlèvements et les affrontements<br />
armés.<br />
En ce qui concerne la sécurité dans les<br />
transports publics, les bus portent un<br />
appareil qui montre constamment aux<br />
passagers la vitesse à laquelle roule le bus.<br />
Lorsque le chauffeur dépasse la vitesse<br />
autorisée, le passager a le droit <strong>de</strong> dénoncer<br />
l’infraction.<br />

LE VOYAGE<br />
en Colombie <strong>de</strong> Julie<br />
Il est très courant <strong>de</strong> voir <strong>de</strong>s jeunes qui<br />
conduisent leur motocyclette en portant<br />
<strong>de</strong>s enfants, tout le mon<strong>de</strong> sans casque.<br />
3. LA VILLE<br />
Bogotá est une ville folle, où il faut être très<br />
attentif pour survivre à la circulation, qui est<br />
très différente <strong>de</strong> ce qu’on connaît en Europe. Il<br />
y a <strong>de</strong>s « stops » mais les conducteurs ne les<br />
respectent pas. En plus, les piétons traversent<br />
les rues où ils peuvent parce qu’il n’y a pas <strong>de</strong><br />
passages pour piétons.<br />
Les bus sont comme <strong>de</strong>s ruches <strong>de</strong><br />
personnes qui entrent et qui sortent<br />
constamment. Les gens montent et<br />
<strong>de</strong>scen<strong>de</strong>nt du bus en marche. Les taxis<br />
sont nombreux et les chauffeurs se bala<strong>de</strong>nt<br />
avec la musique très forte.<br />
4. MAISONS/ FOYERS<br />
LA ESCUELA <br />
Ce texte a été écrit par tous les élèves <strong>de</strong> Avanzado 1, à partir <strong>de</strong>s notes apportées<br />
par Julie après son voyage en Colombie pendant les vacances <strong>de</strong> Noël 2010.<br />
Les maisons ressemblent à <strong>de</strong>s salles<br />
d’exposition. Toutes les maisons ont <strong>de</strong>s<br />
grilles à cause <strong>de</strong> la peur <strong>de</strong> perdre le peu<br />
qu’ils ont.<br />
Le sentiment religieux est très profond en<br />
Colombie. Il y a une vierge qui nous regar<strong>de</strong><br />
<strong>de</strong> son autel dans toutes les maisons et<br />
bâtiments, aussi bien privés que publics.<br />
C’est-à-dire que Dieu est partout et surtout<br />
en Colombie. La foi est beaucoup plus<br />
importante qu’en Espagne.
LA ESCUELA<br />
Marmorat<br />
Lundi, 28 février, un écrivain<br />
français est venu à l’école <strong>de</strong><br />
langues <strong>de</strong> Collado Villalba pour<br />
nous expliquer comment il écrit<br />
en écoutant <strong>de</strong> la musique. C’est<br />
Christophe Marmorat, né à<br />
Versailles en 1971.<br />
Il nous a raconté qu’il avait commencé à écrire à<br />
l’âge <strong>de</strong> cinq ans et qu’il écoutait déjà <strong>de</strong> la<br />
musique pendant qu’il composait ses poèmes. Il<br />
l’a qualifié <strong>de</strong> « écriture musicale”. A 16 ans il<br />
avait déjà lu beaucoup d’auteurs français<br />
(Proust, Balzac, Maupassant, Gi<strong>de</strong>, Valéry...) ainsi<br />
que <strong>de</strong>s penseurs (Henri Bergson, Jean-Paul<br />
Sartre, Raymond Aron...) En même temps il<br />
écoutait tout type <strong>de</strong> musique, soit <strong>de</strong> la<br />
musique classique, soit la chanson française,<br />
mais ce qui l’attirait le plus c’était les Beatles.<br />
Durant la conférence il nous a dit “ je suis très<br />
impressionné par les Beatles”.<br />
Il est très sensible au rythme ce qui lui permet<br />
l’action <strong>de</strong> la créativité, il parle <strong>de</strong> l’écriture<br />
comme d’une sculpture qui sort d’un moule qui<br />
découvre l’émotion et développe l’analyse <strong>de</strong><br />
soi-même, et c’est la manière <strong>de</strong> faire découvrir<br />
au lecteur sa propre émotion.<br />
Chaque poème est écrit en écoutant une<br />
chanson, mais à une question d’un élève il a<br />
répondu qu’après quelques mois il pourrait<br />
écrire un poème différent en écoutant la même<br />
chanson.<br />
Il était arrivé à Madrid <strong>de</strong>ux jours avant la<br />
conférence et il a dit que Madrid lui a beaucoup<br />
plu, qu’il a trouvé ses femmes charmantes avec<br />
leurs jupes volant au vent, et pendant qu’il<br />
écoutait <strong>de</strong> la musique (le pavé <strong>de</strong> Hol<strong>de</strong>n) dans<br />
un café il a écrit un très beau poème dont voici<br />
un extrait.<br />
Alors je plonge<br />
Dans la foule liqui<strong>de</strong><br />
Je danse je plonge<br />
dans cette foule éponge<br />
qui m’inon<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong> ses yeux vifs<br />
Rapi<strong>de</strong>s et splendi<strong>de</strong>s<br />
Oui<br />
Madrid<br />
Je goûte tes rues<br />
Je bas fort<br />
Lorsque la fin du jour<br />
Te recouvre d’un voile <strong>de</strong> miel clair<br />
Qui ne fait qu’embellir tes chairs<br />
Carmen Blanco Martínez, Francés Básico 2B<br />

Maybe you’ve heard about the trip<br />
to Dublin organized by the EOI in<br />
Collado-Villalba. Well, after<br />
having waited for three months,<br />
the adventure took place in the<br />
end. This is how it went.<br />
We arrived in Dublin on 27th February. No sooner<br />
had we got off the plane than it began to pour<br />
down. But it was the only time we had to open<br />
our umbrellas. The weather was won<strong>de</strong>rful.<br />

LA ESCUELA <br />
OUR IRISH EXPERIENCE<br />
The coach took us to the "meeting point"<br />
where our respective families were supposed<br />
to be waiting for us.<br />
Since that moment we were going to live<br />
with an Irish family for a week, learning<br />
different traditions, culture and habits. I<br />
was so excited!<br />
Our timetable was absolutely complete. Every<br />
day we atten<strong>de</strong>d classes at "Atlas Language<br />
School" and after having lunch we had a<br />
cultural activity.
LA ESCUELA<br />
The first two days we had a gui<strong>de</strong>d tour across<br />
the city with an Irish teacher. We learnt a lot<br />
about Michael Collins, an Irish revolutionary<br />
lea<strong>de</strong>r and the mastermind of the Easter<br />
Rebellion in 1916.<br />
Knowing this, you un<strong>de</strong>rstand why Irish<br />
people are <strong>de</strong>eply grateful to him for his<br />
contribution to the foundation of the mo<strong>de</strong>rn<br />
Irish state. We were also <strong>de</strong>lighted and shocked<br />
with some Irish writers’ works and lives.<br />
Not only did we learn about history and<br />
literature, we also tasted the genuine whiskey<br />
at Jameson's Distillery and felt the gloominess<br />
insi<strong>de</strong> the Kilmainham Gaol, a former prison<br />
which is now a museum and played an<br />
important part during the Irish rebellions.<br />
We did enjoy at the "Musical Pub Crawl",<br />
visiting the most popular pubs of the city,<br />
tasting Guinness and learning about some<br />
traditional Irish musical instruments, such as<br />
the woo<strong>de</strong>n flutes, the bodhran drums and the<br />
banjo.<br />
We became Irish dancers for one night in<br />
Monkstown, enjoying Céilí, which is a Gaelic<br />
social gathering that usually involves playing<br />
Gaelic folk music and dancing.<br />
We travelled in time to admire "Gleann Dá Loch"<br />
in Irish language (meaning "Glen of Two Lakes"), a<br />
glacial valley located in County Wicklow,<br />
renowned for its Early Medieval monastic<br />
settlement foun<strong>de</strong>d in the 6th century.<br />
Since all things must come to an end, we<br />
en<strong>de</strong>d our trip, but we did it feeling extremely<br />
satisfied, absolutely exhausted and anxious to<br />
repeat the experience.<br />
I don't want to finish this text without saying:<br />
"go raibh maith agat" (the Gaelic for "thank<br />
you") for this opportunity.<br />
Julia Navacerrada, Inglés Nivel Avanzado 2A<br />
Why green?<br />
When one morning, my English teacher in<br />
Dublin asked me what my favourite colour<br />
was, I answered‘Green’and he told me‘Yes,<br />
the Irish flag is orange, white and green’. But<br />
after a week in Dublin, I’ve un<strong>de</strong>rstood why he<br />
said that. Irish people are very conscientious<br />
with the environment.<br />
Every day, my family gave me some food for<br />
lunch; and the bag that contained the<br />
sandwich and a piece of fruit was the same<br />
bag as the one for the cereal for breakfast.<br />
Recycling is a way of life. They don’t spend<br />
money if it isn’t necessary and they reuse all<br />
types of materials.<br />
On the other hand, when we went shopping<br />
every shop gave me paper bags, never plastic<br />
bags. Moreover, in my Irish family the house<br />
water coming from the bathroom connects<br />
with a lovely gar<strong>de</strong>n where they grow all<br />
types of plants and trees. It’s a great i<strong>de</strong>a I’m<br />
going to do in my gar<strong>de</strong>n.<br />
And finally, the most important thing of all,<br />
when you go outsi<strong>de</strong> Dublin, nature is perfect:<br />
calm and clean fields with pure air, beautiful<br />
lakes and spaces. I didn’t see a single paper on<br />
the floor. Simple everyday things to help the<br />
environment. A new world is possible. Ireland<br />
is one of the first countries in Europe that<br />
started this conscience about a clean world.<br />

Bruce with “his little pet”, a spi<strong>de</strong>r, had a very<br />
important mission: save a special pink-tail bird<br />
from a hunter in the Amazon rainforest.<br />
Bruce flew there with a tall pilot and, after hard<br />
turbulences, both did a parachute jump and they<br />
got the mission: the bird was safe!<br />
The best was that everybody had a great time and<br />
we learnt English with a big smile!!<br />

LA ESCUELA <br />
A Different English Class<br />
Last Tuesday we saw a joyful play: a funny and talkative Hero, Bruce Adventure, visited our<br />
Languages School. Some classmates also played with him like real actors and actresses.<br />
They ma<strong>de</strong> us spend a funny afternoon.<br />
Different cultural behaviours<br />
and points of view?<br />
If you travel to Canada you may surely get<br />
shocked by some attitu<strong>de</strong>s. You may even feel<br />
that someone is blun<strong>de</strong>ring. On the 24 th<br />
February, in the EOI Villalba hall room, the<br />
lecturer Bruno Lázaro Pacheco (a Spanish-<br />
Canadian film director) explained to us some<br />
anecdotes about the different ways of<br />
un<strong>de</strong>rstanding life in Canada and Spain.<br />
How would you feel if someone asked you openly<br />
how much you make in your job? Would you find<br />
them brazen? What would you believe if you had<br />
gone out for dinner and your table mate heavily<br />
insisted on giving a tip, whose amount must exactly<br />
be 15%? Have you met a sheer stubborness?<br />
What kind of life do they enjoy, <strong>de</strong>voted to their jobs,<br />
instead of living for fun and pleasure? Unsettling?<br />
What to think about those people, “spring people”,<br />
dressed in such puritan, Lutheran clothes, who<br />
however jump out half-naked as soon as the hard<br />
winter is gone and the sunshine comes? Shocking?<br />
Lastly, what would you think about people who prefer<br />
leaving voice messages rather than speaking directly on<br />
the phone, or better, face to face? Impolite?<br />
Do you believe they are weird? If you heed people’s<br />
background, you will be able to un<strong>de</strong>rstand some<br />
funny, peculiar anecdotes. And perhaps there will be<br />
no reason to blun<strong>de</strong>r or get shocked anymore.<br />

Alle Jahre wie<strong>de</strong>r...<br />
Die Weihnachtsfeier<br />
<strong>de</strong>r Deutsch-Abteilung<br />
Auch dieses Jahr feierte die Deutsch-Abteilung<br />
<strong>de</strong>r Schule am 21. Dezember ihre traditionelle<br />
Weihnachtsfeier, mit Spielen, Lie<strong>de</strong>rn und <strong>de</strong>n<br />
typisch <strong>de</strong>utschen Weihnachtsspezialitäten.<br />
Noch leckerer als die gekauften Süßigkeiten<br />
waren allerdings die selbstgebackenen<br />
Plätzchen, die die Schüler bzw. Schülerinnen<br />
mitgebracht haben, samt ostfriesischem Tee und<br />
an<strong>de</strong>ren köstlichen Heiβgetränken ;) .<br />
sapin <strong>de</strong> Noël<br />
Ce sapin <strong>de</strong> Noël est le fruit du <strong>de</strong>rnier jour <strong>de</strong> cours avant<br />
Noël dans le groupe <strong>de</strong> « Básico2 ». Isabel, la prof. nous a<br />
<strong>de</strong>mandé <strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong>ssiner nos mains et d’y écrire nos vœux<br />
pour la Nouvelle Année. Avec nos mains, nous avons<br />
composé ce fantastique sapin plein <strong>de</strong> couleurs et <strong>de</strong> bons<br />
désirs qui, nous l’espérons, <strong>de</strong>viendront réalité en 2011.<br />
Bonne année à tous!!!<br />
Les élèves <strong>de</strong> Básico 2 B<br />
Und auch dieses Jahr gab es Preise für die besten<br />
Rezepte, wenn auch etwas beschei<strong>de</strong>nere als in<br />
früheren Jahren. Tja, die Krise macht sich überall<br />
bemerkbar... Aber das Beste waren die<br />
Weihnachtslie<strong>de</strong>r, diesmal mit<br />
Kontrastprogramm: einerseits die Punk-<br />
Versionen <strong>de</strong>r Toten Hosen und an<strong>de</strong>rerseits die,<br />
die wir zusammen gesungen haben, von Elena<br />
auf <strong>de</strong>r Gitarre begleitet.<br />

Der Expressionismus war eine Stilrichtung<br />
in <strong>de</strong>r Kunst am Anfang <strong>de</strong>s 20.<br />
Jahrhun<strong>de</strong>rts, beson<strong>de</strong>rs in Deutschland.<br />
Die Bewegung wollte nicht die realistische<br />
Welt spiegeln, son<strong>de</strong>rn die Innenwelt<br />
zeigen, die Innenwelt, die im Menschen<br />
drinnen wohnt.<br />
In Spanien hat das Museum Thyssen viele wichtige<br />
Bil<strong>de</strong>r dieser Stilrichtung. Deshalb fuhren wir im<br />
letzten November nach Madrid. Der Treffpunkt: Der<br />
Haupteingang <strong>de</strong>s Museums um 17 Uhr. Dort fing<br />
eine interessante Erfahrung mit <strong>de</strong>r Kultur an. Es war<br />
eine neue Erfahrung für viele von uns, weil wir noch<br />
nie vorher dort waren. Es gab eine Führerin, die je<strong>de</strong>s<br />
Bild erklärte. Sie war sehr dynamisch und nett. Sie war<br />
auch interaktiv mit uns, darum war <strong>de</strong>r Besuch<br />
wirklich amüsant. Sie spielte mit unseren Begriffen<br />
über Expressionismus und sie erzählte lustige<br />
Anekdoten von Künstlern. Zum Glück gab uns unsere<br />
junge Museumsführerin nicht nur einen Überblick<br />
über <strong>de</strong>n Expressionismus, son<strong>de</strong>rn auch über die<br />
Kunst. Sie gab uns einen klugen Ratschlag:<br />

Der <strong>de</strong>utsche Expressionismus.<br />
Unser Ausflug ins Museum Thyssen<br />

“Sie müssen sich mit <strong>de</strong>r Kunst integrieren. Nicht<br />
nur vor <strong>de</strong>m Bild stehen, son<strong>de</strong>rn mit <strong>de</strong>m Bild<br />
eins sein.” Danach sprach die Führerin über zwei<br />
<strong>de</strong>utsche Gruppen: “Die Brücke” und “Der Blaue<br />
Reiter”. Anschlieβend sahen wir verschie<strong>de</strong>ne<br />
interessante Bil<strong>de</strong>r von Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Franz<br />
Marc und an<strong>de</strong>ren an. Es ist kompliziert alles zu<br />
beschreiben, aber es war ein lehrreiches und<br />
bereichern<strong>de</strong>s Erlebnis. Nach <strong>de</strong>m<br />
Museumsbesuch kamen wir zum Schluss, dass<br />
man die Realität aus verschie<strong>de</strong>nen Perspektiven<br />
sehen kann. Deswegen können wir allen Lesern<br />
die Sammlung empfehlen.<br />
Aber das war nicht alles. Nach <strong>de</strong>m Besuch<br />

Ausflug ins Thyssen-Museum:<br />
Die Expressionisten<br />
Am 5.11.2010 organisierte die Deutsch-<br />
Abteilung einen Ausflug ins<br />
Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, um die<br />
<strong>de</strong>utschen Expressionisten zu sehen. Die Lehrer<br />
Katja Strobel, Katja Sifrig und Harald Köwitz<br />
waren dabei. Eine junge Museumsführerin<br />
erzählte uns sehr viel über die Bil<strong>de</strong>r.<br />
Der Expressionismus ist eine Bewegung, vor allem<br />
in <strong>de</strong>r Malerei, die 1905 beson<strong>de</strong>rs in Deutschland<br />
erscheint. Es ist die Zeit vor <strong>de</strong>m I. Weltkrieg und<br />
die sozialistischen I<strong>de</strong>en sind weit verbreitet.<br />
Die Expressionisten sind gegen <strong>de</strong>n<br />
Naturalismus und sie haben ihre Vorbil<strong>de</strong>r: Vor<br />
ihnen hat Munch seinen„Schrei” gemalt und<br />
Van Gogh seine Bil<strong>de</strong>r voller Lei<strong>de</strong>nschaft - die<br />
bei<strong>de</strong>n sind sehr expressionistisch. Sie<br />
bewun<strong>de</strong>rn auch Goya - vor allem seine<br />
„Schwarzen Gemäl<strong>de</strong>“, wo alle Farben nur in<br />
Form von Farbflecken zu erkennen sind und es<br />
keine klaren Linien gibt.<br />
Sie wollen nicht die Realität porträtieren, son<strong>de</strong>rn<br />
jene Wirklichkeit, die sich in ihren Seelen<br />
wi<strong>de</strong>rspiegelt. Auch durch die Auswahl ihrer<br />
Motive wen<strong>de</strong>n sie sich von <strong>de</strong>r traditionellen<br />
Kunst ab: Sie malen Außenseiter-Typen wie arme<br />
Leute und Prostituierte. Und während <strong>de</strong>r I.<br />
Weltkrieg wütet, malen sie auch seinen Grauen.<br />
Es gibt eine erste Gruppe Expressionisten:“Die<br />
Brücke”(1905) mit <strong>de</strong>n Hauptvertretern Ernst<br />
Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Otto Müller. Kurz<br />
danach ensteht eine zweite Gruppe,„Der Blaue<br />
Reiter”(1913) mit Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Franz<br />
Marc, Jawlensky. Auch in Österreich gab es diese<br />
künstlerische Bewegung: Ihre Hauptvertreter sind<br />
die Maler Oskar Kokoschka und Egon Schiele.<br />
Nach <strong>de</strong>r Zeit <strong>de</strong>s Expressionismus gab es aber<br />
viele Maler, die unter ihrem Einfluss<br />
weiterarbeiteten, wie Otto Dix o<strong>de</strong>r George<br />
Grosz, die schon einer neuen Stilrichtung, <strong>de</strong>r<br />
„Neuen Sachlichkeit“ angehörten.<br />
Nach <strong>de</strong>r Machtübernahme <strong>de</strong>r<br />
Nationalsozialisten erklärte Hitler diese<br />
Bewegung für “entartete Kunst” und viele Werke<br />
wur<strong>de</strong>n zestört o<strong>de</strong>r verkauft<br />

LES JARDINS<br />
Impressionnistes<br />
La <strong>de</strong>uxième semaine <strong>de</strong> février <strong>de</strong>ux groupes<br />
d’élèves <strong>de</strong> français ont visité l’exposition: “Les<br />
jardins impressionnistes » que l’on pouvait voir<br />
dans le Musée Thyssen à Madrid.<br />
L’impressionnisme est un mouvement artistique<br />
et culturel qui est apparu à Paris dans les<br />
<strong>de</strong>rnières années du XIX e siècle. Dans cette<br />
exhibition vous pouvez voir la peinture <strong>de</strong> ce<br />
courant artistique, et la façon <strong>de</strong> peindre <strong>de</strong>s<br />
précurseurs, par exemple « L’École <strong>de</strong> Barbizon »<br />
Un petit témoignage d’une époque qui est bien<br />
présentée et qui montre les principes basiques <strong>de</strong><br />
ce mouvement : l’instant, la lumière, la couleur et la<br />
nature... les paysages, les fleurs, les ambiances<br />
quotidiennes, les moments <strong>de</strong> travail et <strong>de</strong> plaisir<br />
qui sont les sujets qui ont été mélangés doucement<br />
sous le thème général du « jardin ». Le jardin que<br />
vous pouvez regar<strong>de</strong>r dans un bouquet <strong>de</strong> fleurs ou<br />
le jardin intérieur que vous avez quand vous aurez<br />
fini <strong>de</strong>“faire votre promena<strong>de</strong>”autour <strong>de</strong>s tableaux<br />
impressionnistes qui ont été créés par Renoir,<br />
Daubigny, Monet, Pissarro, Huet, Millet, Margin,<br />
Corot, Morisot, Zandomenegi, Marie Bracquemond,<br />
Singer, Manet, Gaugin, Bonnard , Van Gogh…<br />
À mon avis, cette exposition est une bonne façon<br />
d’enrichir notre culture picturale, un jeu<br />
merveilleux entre le jardin intérieur que chacun<br />
doit cultiver toute sa vie, et les jardins que nous<br />
offre le mon<strong>de</strong> impressionniste.<br />
Quand j’ai fini la visite au Musée Thyssen un mot<br />
m’est venu à l’esprit: « Quer ». Il signifie « enclos »,<br />
« potager »,… C’est la racine indoeuropéenne <strong>de</strong><br />
laquelle proviennent aussi : « courtoisie » et<br />
« courtiser »…<br />
Pour moi, après avoir vu cette exposition, j’y vois<br />
la façon <strong>de</strong> faire la cour que les œuvres <strong>de</strong>s grands<br />
artistes doivent utiliser pour capturer le regard du<br />
spectateur, et l’âme <strong>de</strong>s personnes qui aiment<br />
vraiment L’Art…<br />
L’art d’un petit paysage en verts et bleus d’un<br />
tableau post–impressionniste <strong>de</strong> Van Gogh où vous<br />
pouvez voir au fond <strong>de</strong> la scène l’unique rouge <strong>de</strong><br />
toute la composition, un tout petit toit rouge, aussi<br />
délicat que puissant et qui vous fait sentir, dans un<br />
instant, toute la vitesse d’un cœur ému.<br />

LA ESCUELA <br />
Book Club in English<br />
14<br />
The Book Club is a group of stu<strong>de</strong>nts, exstu<strong>de</strong>nts<br />
and teachers who meet to talk<br />
books. This activity is extracurricular so you<br />
can participate even if you are not an official<br />
EOI stu<strong>de</strong>nt, but you need to have an<br />
intermediate to advanced level of English in<br />
or<strong>de</strong>r to un<strong>de</strong>rstand and follow the<br />
discussion. Every two or three months we<br />
choose an unabridged book, usually by a<br />
contemporary writer, and then we discuss it<br />
at our book club. So far this year we have<br />
read “Eat Pray Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert and<br />
“Brooklyn” by Colm Toibin.<br />
The first one is a memoir written by an American woman<br />
in her thirties who, after a painful divorce, tries to find<br />
herself during a one year trip through Italy, India and<br />
Indonesia. The writer looks for pleasure in Italy, for<br />
meditation in India and for balance in Indonesia. “Eat<br />
Pray Love” is a word-of-mouth best seller. We all enjoyed<br />
reading it because it is funny, wise and heartwarming.<br />
The second novel,“Brooklyn”, is a historical novel set in the<br />
early 1950s in Ireland. The Irish economy was very bad at<br />
that time and opportunities for a young girl were scarce. So<br />
the protagonist, young Eilis Lacey, <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>s to emigrate to<br />
America in or<strong>de</strong>r to have a better life. Or does someone else<br />
take this hard <strong>de</strong>cision for her? Difficult and painful <strong>de</strong>cisions<br />
and choices, life in Ireland and Brooklyn in the 1950’s,<br />
women’s opportunities at that time, the unexpected twist in<br />
the main character’s life: these are some of the topics that<br />
kept the book club members talking for a long time! Some<br />
people even talked about similar personal experiences.<br />
The whole conversation is in English, of course. The book<br />
to be discussed in the next meeting is chosen by all the<br />
members. You can choose among a wi<strong>de</strong> range of books:<br />
crime stories, memoirs, romances, novels, science fiction<br />
and so on.
LA ESCUELA<br />
These meetings are a good<br />
opportunity to improve our skills in<br />
reading, speaking and listening in<br />
English in a relaxed way. Everybody is<br />
friendly, helpful and open-min<strong>de</strong>d. To<br />
sum up, it is an excuse to meet new<br />
people and practise your English while<br />
having a good time.<br />
The next book we are going to talk<br />
about is “The Body” by Hanif Kureishi,<br />
an established contemporary British<br />
writer.<br />
It is a science fiction and psychological<br />
novella about an ageing professor<br />
who rents a young man’s body. We<br />
have arranged the next session for the<br />
second week of April, so you have<br />
more than a month to read the next<br />
book.<br />
Check the school web site for the<br />
exact date! We encourage the stu<strong>de</strong>nts<br />
in the Advanced levels to join the Book<br />
Club. See you soon!<br />

La fête <strong>de</strong><br />
VIAJES <br />
Saint-Félix <strong>de</strong> Sorgues<br />
Il y a un petit village dans le sud <strong>de</strong> la France,<br />
dans le département <strong>de</strong> l’Aveyron qui<br />
s’appelle Saint Félix <strong>de</strong> Sorgues, dans la<br />
vallée <strong>de</strong> la Sorgue, une <strong>de</strong>s rivières qui<br />
forment les gorges emboîtées entre les<br />
grands causses <strong>de</strong> pierre calcaire. Le premier<br />
dimanche d’août, le petit village fait sa fête<br />
d’été et toutes les familles et tous les amis se<br />
rencontrent ces jours-là. La fête ressemble<br />
beaucoup à une fête espagnole: les<br />
orchestres du soir et la danse toute la nuit, le<br />
déjeuner et le dîner communaux sur la place.<br />
Mais il y a aussi <strong>de</strong>s différences: pas <strong>de</strong><br />
course <strong>de</strong> taureaux (ce n’est pas la<br />
Camargue!), le championnat <strong>de</strong> pétanque<br />
<strong>de</strong>rrière l’église, l’apéritif avant le déjeuner, la<br />
fête <strong>de</strong> déguisements ou l’orchestre <strong>de</strong><br />
jeunes qui apportent la pomme sur un plat à<br />
chaque maison pour <strong>de</strong>man<strong>de</strong>r les étrennes.<br />
On peut jouir <strong>de</strong> beaux paysages autour du<br />
village pour faire une promena<strong>de</strong>, ou prendre<br />
la voiture pour visiter les caves et acheter le<br />
célèbre fromage <strong>de</strong> Roquefort, ou encore<br />
découvrir les grands causses comme le<br />
Larzac, avec le marché <strong>de</strong> produits du terroir<br />
<strong>de</strong> Montredon, ou visiter les villages<br />
templiers comme la Cavalerie ou la<br />
Couverturai<strong>de</strong>. Toutes les portes ont pendu la<br />
Cardabelle, une fleur <strong>de</strong> chardon sèche qui<br />
porte bonheur.<br />
Les gens sont très « sympas » et tout le<br />
mon<strong>de</strong> veut parler aux visiteurs espagnols,<br />
tous ensemble nous dansons et prenons le<br />
déjeuner sur la place (ou le pavillon sportif s’il<br />
pleut). Plus je vais à Saint Felix en été, et plus<br />
j’ai envie d’y retourner.<br />

Bienvenue à BRUXELLES<br />
L’année <strong>de</strong>rnière j’ai visité<br />
Bruxelles. Dans le métro,<br />
j’ai trouvé un journal<br />
gratuit “La Tribune <strong>de</strong><br />
Bruxelles”, où j’ai pu lire un<br />
article avec le titre<br />
“Désormais, Bruxelles a la<br />
greet”. To greet en anglais<br />
veut dire “entrer en contact<br />
avec quelqu’un” dans le sens<br />
<strong>de</strong> lui souhaiter la<br />
bienvenue, et avec cette<br />
initiative on espère que les<br />
touristes pourront mieux<br />
découvrir un quartier, une<br />
ambiance, voir les lieux à<br />
travers un habitant et non un<br />
gui<strong>de</strong> touristique.<br />
Comme on dit dans l’article, Bruxelles est<br />
une ville qui ne se donne pas<br />
immédiatement, et les greeters permettent<br />
une approche plus intime. Les membres <strong>de</strong><br />
l’association <strong>de</strong> greeters <strong>de</strong> Bruxelles sont<br />
<strong>de</strong>s bénévoles qui vous accompagneront<br />
d’une forme gratuite.<br />
C’est une bonne idée que Paris et New York<br />
avaient adoctée avant, avec succès.<br />
Si tu veux voyager à Bruxelles, n’oublie pas <strong>de</strong><br />
visiter http://www.tourisme-autrement.be,<br />
où tu pourras trouver toute l’information, et<br />
contacter avec les Greeters <strong>de</strong> Belgique au<br />
moins 2 semaines avant ton arrivée.<br />

À <strong>de</strong>ux heures <strong>de</strong> voyage, on trouve une <strong>de</strong>s<br />
plus belles villes que je connaisse Je parle<br />
<strong>de</strong> Can<strong>de</strong>leda.<br />
Avec près <strong>de</strong> 5500 habitants et dans la<br />
région du Tiétar, Can<strong>de</strong>leda est située au<br />
pied <strong>de</strong> la montagne <strong>de</strong> Gredos, au sud <strong>de</strong><br />
la province d´Ávila et à une distance <strong>de</strong> 100<br />
kilomètres <strong>de</strong> la capitale. Elle est connue<br />
comme l´Andalousie d´Ávila.<br />
Entourée <strong>de</strong> vraies images paysagères où on<br />
peut apprécier les forêts, les ruisseaux, les<br />
pâturages, etc… Tout conjugué dans une<br />
parfaite et tranquillisante harmonie. Tout<br />
cela est dû à son particulier microclimat qui<br />
fournit une température très agréable tout<br />
au long <strong>de</strong> l´année.<br />
On peut jouir <strong>de</strong> son offre touristique<br />
comme faire <strong>de</strong> la randonnée, monter à<br />
cheval, se baigner dans les piscines<br />
naturelles, aller à la pêche ou jouer au golf<br />
entre autres. De même, en été, les fêtes <strong>de</strong> la<br />
ville attirent une gran<strong>de</strong> quantité <strong>de</strong><br />
visiteurs, tous jeunes en gran<strong>de</strong> majorité.<br />
Nous avons <strong>de</strong>ux visites obligatoires, le<br />
Sanctuaire <strong>de</strong> la Vierge <strong>de</strong> Chilla, à 7<br />
kilomètres <strong>de</strong> Can<strong>de</strong>leda, avec <strong>de</strong> jolies<br />
vues, et les ruines celtes du village El Raso.<br />
(El Raso, c´est un village annexe <strong>de</strong><br />
Can<strong>de</strong>leda).<br />
Et si la visite culturelle n´est pas suffisante,<br />
nous pouvons faire une vraie route<br />

KILKENNY - Ireland<br />
Kilkenny city is situated in the South-East of Ireland; it was built in the 6th century when a monk<br />
called Canice built a Monastery there. Kilkenny is the best medieval city in Ireland and for centuries it<br />
was consi<strong>de</strong>red by the Norman people as the capital of the island. Now it is known as the “marble<br />
city” because of the colour of its buildings. The Nore river cuts the city in two and on both banks<br />
there are restaurants and very nice places. Kilkenny Castle, located in the South of the city, is the<br />
most important building; it was built in the 12th century by O’Carrols, O’Dumphys and Fizpatrick, all<br />
of whom were consi<strong>de</strong>red local Kings.<br />
ST. CANICE’S CATHEDRAL &<br />
ROUND TOWER<br />
St. Canice’s Cathedral was built between 1202<br />
and 1285 upon the ruins of the ancient church<br />
built in the 6th century by a monk called Canice.<br />
He was born in Glengiven, Ireland in 515 or 516<br />
and he died in Kilkenny around the year 600.<br />
Close to the Cathedral, there is a Round Tower<br />
which is supposed to have been built at the same<br />
time as the ancient church. The tower is the ol<strong>de</strong>st<br />
standing structure in Kilkenny City and it is the only<br />
one of two towers that people can climb in Ireland.<br />
This building is very singular because it has no<br />
doors, but it has some narrow windows at different<br />
levels. At first the tower was <strong>de</strong>fensive. When the<br />
Viking pirates sailed up the Nore river the monks lit<br />
a great fire on the top and so they warned the<br />
village people.<br />
But, how did the monks ascend the tower? There<br />
weren’t any doors and the windows were 8 or 10<br />
metres up. It is believed that there could have been<br />

VIAJES<br />
Meine erste Reise<br />
in die Alpen<br />
Mein ganzes Leben habe ich von einer Reise in die<br />
Schweiz geträumt. Ich musste lange warten, aber<br />
im Sommer 1995 habe ich es endlich bekommen.<br />
Zu <strong>de</strong>r Zeit gab es keine günstigen Flüge. Wir sind<br />
also mit <strong>de</strong>m Auto gefahren. 1385 Kilometer von<br />
Madrid bis Genf, mit zwei Kin<strong>de</strong>rn, in einem<br />
Peugeot 205, das ist wirklich genug!<br />
Zwei Wochen lang haben wir viele wun<strong>de</strong>rbare Orte<br />
besucht: Genf, Gruyères, Interlaken, Luzern, Bern und<br />
so weiter. Ich war von <strong>de</strong>r Schönheit ihrer Dörfer<br />
überrascht, mit ihren Häusern voller Blumen, alles<br />
war sehr gepflegt und perfekt, das Gras so grün...,<br />
aber am meisten war ich von <strong>de</strong>n permanent<br />
schneebe<strong>de</strong>ckten Bergen verwun<strong>de</strong>rt.<br />
Die Schweiz ist ein Paradies fürWan<strong>de</strong>rer. Meine<br />
Kin<strong>de</strong>r haben nicht so gedacht, lei<strong>de</strong>r.Wir sind<br />
gewan<strong>de</strong>rt und gewan<strong>de</strong>rt und gewan<strong>de</strong>rt. Sie<br />
waren sehr mü<strong>de</strong> vonWan<strong>de</strong>rungen und so vielen<br />
Autofahrten! Aber die Bären von Bern haben ihnen<br />
sehr gefallen. Sie haben auch viel Käse und<br />
Schokola<strong>de</strong> gegessen. Schweizerische Schokola<strong>de</strong> ist<br />
eine <strong>de</strong>r besten, o<strong>de</strong>r? Lei<strong>de</strong>r haben wir das Dorf von<br />
Heidi nicht gefun<strong>de</strong>n.<br />
Scha<strong>de</strong>! Damals konnten wir es noch nicht im<br />
Internet suchen. Ein an<strong>de</strong>res Mal!<br />
Ich erinnere mich an zwei Dörfer mit<br />
beson<strong>de</strong>rem Charme: Ernen und Zermatt.<br />
Ernen hat eine schöne Altstadt, die<br />
Häuser sind im traditionellen Stil <strong>de</strong>r<br />
Schweiz aus Holz gebaut. Man sagt, dass<br />
Ernen die Stadt <strong>de</strong>r Musik ist. Zermatt ist<br />
eine Gemein<strong>de</strong> im Kanton Wallis, sehr<br />
schön und touristisch. Sie ist trotz<strong>de</strong>m<br />
ruhig, weil Autos dort verboten sind: In<br />
Zermatt dürfen nur Elektroautos und<br />
Kutschen fahren. Zermatt ist weltbekannt<br />
für das wun<strong>de</strong>rschöne Matterhorn, mit<br />
4478 Metern Höhe. Für die Schweiz ist es<br />
ein Wahrzeichen und die<br />
meistfotografierte Touristenattraktion.<br />
Zum Schluss möchte ich einen Besuch<br />
auf einem Gletscher empfehlen. Wir<br />
haben <strong>de</strong>n Rhonegletscher besucht. Hier<br />
kann man eine Eisgrotte besuchen. Sie ist<br />
ganz blau, weil das Sonnenlicht durch<br />
das Eis eindringt . Unglaublich!<br />
Diese Reise war mein Traum. Jetzt träume<br />
ich von <strong>de</strong>r nächsten Reise in die Schweiz!<br />

Sustainable <strong>de</strong>velopment means different things to<br />
different people. There are many <strong>de</strong>finitions of<br />
sustainable <strong>de</strong>velopment, but the best known is that<br />
by the Brundtland Commission Report, which <strong>de</strong>fines<br />
sustainable <strong>de</strong>velopment as“meeting the needs of<br />
the present without compromising the ability of<br />
future generations to meet their own needs.”<br />
Are we doing enough to improve our<br />
environment? Are we succeeding in preserving it?<br />
It’s true that the government is working to create<br />
policies to protect the environment. But this isn’t<br />
enough. If we want to save the planet, we have to<br />
work hard for it. Many people think that they can’t do<br />
anything to preserve the environment or that little<br />
actions are useless, but they are wrong. Individual<br />
choices are important. It´s necessary to take small<br />
actions regularly to make big changes to the world.<br />
When we make <strong>de</strong>cisions about how to use the<br />
Earth’s resources, such as forests, water, minerals,<br />
wildlife, etc. we must be very careful. We must<br />
consi<strong>de</strong>r how much of these resources we are<br />
using and how we are using them.<br />
There are a lot of small things that we can do to<br />
improve our environment. This is a list with many<br />
quick and easy things we can do in our daily lives<br />
that will make a significant difference for our<br />
environment, and will help us to save money and<br />
achieve a healthier lifestyle.<br />
• Don’t use plastic bags.<br />
• Turn off the TV completely. Don´t leave it on<br />
standby, as this option spends energy.<br />
• If you drive to work, find somebody to carpool<br />
to work.<br />
• When you go to the supermarket, choose<br />
products with less packaging.<br />

SMALL ACTIONS<br />
to save the planet<br />
Today it seems that everybody is concerned about environmental protection: the<br />
government, employers, the media… All we talk about is sustainable <strong>de</strong>velopment. But do<br />
we really know what it means? Do we really know what sustainable <strong>de</strong>velopment is?<br />
• Plant native plants in your gar<strong>de</strong>n to reduce<br />
water and pestici<strong>de</strong> use.<br />
• Lower the temperature of your heating to 21<br />
<strong>de</strong>grees.<br />
• Whenever possible, print on recycled paper.<br />
• Replace at least two or three incan<strong>de</strong>scent light<br />
bulbs with low energy bulbs.<br />
• Use phosphate-free <strong>de</strong>tergent.<br />
• Whenever possible, buy local products.<br />
The tips on this list aren’t new. I am sure that<br />
everybody knows them and, as you can see, being<br />
respectful of the environment doesn’t have to be<br />
hard work, nor does it mean mean big life<br />
changes. Simple things can make a difference.<br />
If all of us take these actions and pass them on, we<br />
can get thousands of people to make a significant<br />
advance in the effort to save the environment.<br />
Don’t hesitate and start saving the planet today.<br />

Meine Wünsche für das neue Jahr<br />
Ich weiß nicht warum, aber im Januar haben die meisten Leute Wünsche für<br />
das neue Jahr. Es ist ein bisschen komisch, dass diese Wünsche je<strong>de</strong>s Jahr<br />
gleich sind. Das heißt, dass wir die Wünsche vom Vorjahr nicht verwirklicht<br />
haben. Warum haben wir unsere Wünsche im Februar schon vergessen?<br />
Vielleicht wünschen wir nicht richtig?<br />
Hier einige Tipps:<br />
• Motivation. Man sollte sich fragen: Warum<br />
möchte man das machen? Weil man das<br />
selber will o<strong>de</strong>r weil alle das machen? Oft<br />
sind die Wünsche für das neue Jahr für viele,<br />
viele Leute gleich. Das ist nicht normal.<br />
Denk doch an <strong>de</strong>inen persönlichen<br />
Wunsch: was du wirklich machen willst!<br />
• Vielleicht sind es viele Wünsche. Man<br />
sollte nur einige Wünsche haben, nicht<br />
zu viele. Einer o<strong>de</strong>r zwei sind genug.<br />
• Planung. Man sollte sich einen Plan<br />
machen. Wie und wann kann man seine<br />
Wünsche realisieren? Schreib das am<br />
besten auf!<br />
• Ausdauer. Man sollte bei <strong>de</strong>n Wünschen<br />
Ausdauer haben. Man sollte die Planung<br />
gut machen.<br />
Und Ausre<strong>de</strong>n sind nicht erlaubt! (Keine<br />
Zeit, zu viel Arbeit, zu mü<strong>de</strong>, nächste<br />
Woche bestimmt... )<br />
Natürlich habe ich meine Wünsche für das<br />
neue Jahr. Vielleicht sind es die typischen,<br />
aber es sind meine:<br />
• Ich möchte gesund leben. Ich möchte Sport<br />
machen, schwimmen o<strong>de</strong>r ins Fitnessstudio<br />

Ich möchte mich mehr bewegen.<br />

Mein erster<br />

Mein erster Kontakt mit<br />
Deutsch war sehr lustig. Es<br />
gab ein Missverständnis nach<br />
<strong>de</strong>m an<strong>de</strong>ren. Ich erinnere<br />
mich, dass es im Oktober war.<br />
Man stellte uns eine Gruppe<br />
von Deutschen vor. Sie haben<br />
einen Spanischintensivkurs in<br />
Málaga gemacht. Das haben<br />
wir son<strong>de</strong>rbar gefun<strong>de</strong>n, aber<br />
sie wollten Spanisch lernen<br />
und sie wollten Urlaub am<br />
Meer machen.<br />
Das beste war, wenn sie spanisch<br />
gesprochen haben. Sie haben <strong>de</strong>n<br />
Buchstaben “s” nicht gesprochen, und wir<br />
haben Sätze wie “eto/ezto etá/eztá bien”<br />
gehört. In Andusien spricht man ohne„s“,<br />
aber das klingt natürlich ganz an<strong>de</strong>rs. Wir<br />
haben so gelacht! Sie haben auch “éramos<br />
marrones” statt “estábamos morenos” gesagt,<br />
und an<strong>de</strong>re lustige Sachen. Sie haben die<br />
unbekannten Wörter ins Notizbuch<br />
geschrieben, aber sie wollten vor allem die<br />
auffälligen Wörter lernen, die “tacos”.<br />
Und die Deutschen hatten keine Angst, dass<br />
wir Spanier über sie lachen könnten, weil sie<br />
so schlecht Spanisch gesprochen haben.<br />
Das hat uns sehr überrascht. Wann war das?<br />
Vor 25 Jahren. Sie haben tausend Fehler<br />
gemacht, aber sie konnten mit uns<br />
sprechen, und sie haben sehr viel gelernt.<br />
Uns Spaniern ist es sehr peinlich, wenn wir<br />
Fehler in einer an<strong>de</strong>ren Sprache machen.<br />
Wir wollen nicht Englisch o<strong>de</strong>r Deutsch<br />
sprechen, weil wir nicht falsch sprechen<br />
wollen, und so lernen wir viel langsamer.<br />
Unsere Kulturen waren verschie<strong>de</strong>n, aber wir<br />
hatten keine Probleme, uns zu verstehen. Wir<br />
haben geglaubt, dass die Deutschen sehr<br />
„quadratisch“, methodisch und or<strong>de</strong>ntlich<br />
waren. Sie haben geglaubt, dass die Spanier<br />
immer laute Feste feiern, Flamenco tanzen<br />
o<strong>de</strong>r zum Stierkampf gehen.<br />
Der schlimmste Moment für mich war, als<br />
ich zu ihnen gesagt habe:„Kommt alle zu<br />
mir nach Hause, ich mache euch eine<br />
´infusión´“, <strong>de</strong>nn die Deutschen wollten<br />
keinen Kaffee trinken. Sie waren schockiert!<br />
Ich meinte natürlich Tee, aber die<br />
Deutschen verstehen unter ´infusión´ eine<br />
Injektion! Wollte ich sie vielleicht zu Drogen<br />
einla<strong>de</strong>n????<br />
Mein erster Kontakt mit Deutsch war vor<br />
vielen Jahren. Heute bin ich mit einem<br />

Aber auch heute fin<strong>de</strong> ich manchmal, dass<br />
die Deutschen und die Spanier verschie<strong>de</strong>n<br />

One day with RENOIR<br />
I’m an art lover and every<br />

exhibition. Last Tuesday<br />
morning I went to the<br />
Prado Museum with two<br />
friends. I got there in one<br />
of my friends’ cars. It was<br />
an exhibition of paintings<br />
by the Impressionist<br />
painter Renoir.<br />
When we arrived, there were crowds of<br />
people, in spite of which we could see every<br />
work of art very well. We saw an<br />
outstanding group of paintings, a collection<br />
of an American collector.<br />
Although there were few paintings, about<br />
thirty, it was possible to appreciate different<br />
genres and motifs: the human figure,<br />
portraits, self-portraits, scenes of young<br />
women, the landscape, the female nu<strong>de</strong>,<br />
the still life. While I was looking up at a<br />
painting I could hear how people whispered<br />
something about the paintings.<br />
I was all ears. I was learning a lot by listening<br />
to them. My favourite painting was “Marie-<br />
Thérèse Durand-Ruel sewing”, because I<br />
thought it was painted with tact, sensuality<br />
and beautiful contrast of colours. It was very<br />
interesting and exciting.<br />
The weather was fantastic, very sunny, so<br />
when we left the Museum we went to a<br />
snack bar, we sat outsi<strong>de</strong>, drank a beer and<br />
enjoyed the sun. I felt brilliant.<br />
Then we went to have lunch at St Michael<br />
Market, in the heart of Madrid. It was a<br />
popular and picturesque place with a big<br />
variety of tapas. After lunch, we walked<br />
slowly through Old Madrid.<br />
The best way to explore the small and<br />
beautiful streets with their many shops<br />
was on foot, so we were wearing<br />
comfortable shoes. The Old Madrid is a<br />
popular place to visit at any time of the<br />

Blas <strong>de</strong> Lezo was born on 3<br />

Guipúzcoa, Spain. Blas <strong>de</strong><br />
Lezo y Olavarrieta<br />
commenced his naval career<br />
in the French Navy in 1701 as<br />
a midshipman. In 1704 he<br />
fought in the War of Spanish<br />
Succession as a crew<br />
member in the Franco-<br />
Spanish fleet which repelled<br />
the combined forces of<br />
Britain and the Netherlands<br />
at the Battle of Vélez Málaga.<br />
There Lezo lost his left leg. He received a<br />
cannon shot and he had his leg amputated<br />
un<strong>de</strong>r the knee without anaesthesia.<br />
Afterwards he lost his right arm and his left<br />
eye. Promoted to ensign, he was present at<br />
the battles off Peñíscola, Spain, and Palermo<br />
in Sicily.<br />

His service in these and other actions<br />
resulted in his promotion to ship’s<br />
lieutenant.<br />
In 1713 he was promoted to captain. In<br />
1714 he lost his right arm in the Siege of<br />
Barcelona. Later in this campaign, in charge<br />
of a frigate, he captured eleven British ships,<br />
including the Stanhope, and this is the story<br />
which we are interested in.<br />
In 1734 the King promoted him to General<br />
Lieutenant of the Navy. He returned to<br />
America with the ships Fuerte and<br />
Conquistador in 1737 as General Comman<strong>de</strong>r<br />
of Cartagena <strong>de</strong> Indias, a city that he had to<br />
<strong>de</strong>fend against the British admiral Edgard<br />
Vernon in the Battle of Cartagena <strong>de</strong> Indias<br />
(1741). The complex series of ship to ship<br />
skirmishes, sieges and land battles against<br />
overwhelming forces lasted sixty-seven days.<br />
It was <strong>de</strong> Lezo’s finest victory.<br />

ittle-known story<br />
This fleet was the second biggest of all time.<br />
The biggest was the one that attacked the<br />
Normandy coast in World War II. The<br />
<strong>de</strong>fence forces in Cartagena were 3,600<br />
men, 600 of whom were natives, and six<br />
ships with their crew (Galicia, the flagship,<br />
San Felipe, San Carlos, África, Dragón and<br />
Conquistador).<br />
And so the battle began. The English fleet<br />
bombar<strong>de</strong>d the San Luis <strong>de</strong> Bocachica fort<br />
for sixteen days. The <strong>de</strong>fen<strong>de</strong>rs came back<br />
and Blas <strong>de</strong> Lezo attacked the English fleet<br />
with his ships. The Spanish fleet sank six<br />
British ships but the inva<strong>de</strong>rs went ashore<br />
and the Stanhope went into the bay. Vernon<br />
believed that he had won the battle and<br />
sent a message to England communicating<br />
the victory. In England the government had<br />
commemorative coins minted with the<br />
following inscriptions: “Britain’s heroes<br />
conquered Cartagena on 1 April 1741” and<br />
“Spanish pri<strong>de</strong> humiliated by Vernon”.<br />
Nevertheless, the British advance was<br />
stopped by the fort walls. British troops<br />
went back disor<strong>de</strong>rly. The British fleet<br />
continued bombarding the city but the<br />
plague and scurvy killed a lot of sailors.<br />
Finally Vernon gave the or<strong>de</strong>r to go back<br />
and lost several ships. George II, King of<br />
England, learned about the disaster and<br />
or<strong>de</strong>red his ministers to hi<strong>de</strong> the <strong>de</strong>feat.<br />
The <strong>de</strong>feat of the British invasion force<br />
assured the preservation of the Spanish<br />
Empire in the Americas. Blas <strong>de</strong> Lezo<br />
contracted the plague, probably due to the<br />
many unburied corpses, most of them<br />
British soldiers, and died at Cartagena <strong>de</strong><br />
Indias that year. His burial site remains lost<br />
to history.<br />

COSAS QUE NOS INTERESAN <br />
To clil or not to clil... IS T<br />
First of all, for those who are not<br />
teachers of English or teachers<br />
working at a bilingual School (I<br />
mean the Program of Bilingual<br />
Schools in Comunidad <strong>de</strong><br />
Madrid) I assume it is worth<br />
explaining the term “CLIL”. This<br />
musical acronym means<br />
“Contents and Language<br />
Integrated Learning”. Everyone<br />
can easily guess, roughly<br />
speaking, what the central<br />
approach is: Children learn their<br />
second language at the same<br />
time they learn the relevant<br />
subject matter.<br />
There are hundreds of studies<br />
<strong>de</strong>monstrating how well it works.<br />
Unfortunately, regarding education, the<br />
number of factors tends to be infinite, and<br />
thus all of them are questionable.<br />
In our case, the program has been carried<br />
on for fewer than ten years, hence<br />
extracting conclusive and reliable data<br />
proves a tough task. Nevertheless, on a daily<br />
basis we have to face serious difficulties to<br />
<strong>de</strong>velop the mentioned program. Some of<br />
them might not be direct consequences of<br />
the theoretical framework.<br />
They are likely to be common in bilingual<br />
and non-bilingual schools, here in the<br />
Comunidad <strong>de</strong> Madrid and in other regions.<br />
It is an un<strong>de</strong>niable fact that the average level<br />
of English is notably higher, comparing this<br />
kind of school to those that are not enrolled<br />
in the program. Once again we should take<br />
into account <strong>de</strong>cisive elements such as socioeconomic<br />
status or geographical origin. The<br />
level of achievement related to other<br />
educational objectives is something to be<br />
thoroughly studied, and that is the key point:<br />
many teachers have the uneasy sensation<br />
that we are all playing the role of a guinea pig,<br />
sailing in a vessel in a sea of uncertainty. Why?<br />
Above all, from time to time, the modus<br />
operandi changes with no apparent reason.<br />
One year stu<strong>de</strong>nts take an external test,<br />
another year teachers must select a<br />
meaningful quantity of our pupils to take<br />
the exam and the next year the criteria do<br />
not seem to be clear.
COSAS QUE NOS INTERESAN<br />
HAT THE QUESTION?<br />
Sometimes the Program seems to be the jewel<br />
of the crown. Sometimes it seems to be the<br />
Marx Brothers’crow<strong>de</strong>d cabin where no one<br />
knows what is going to happen next, e.g.<br />
regulations about bilingual schools have just<br />
been released in January 2011. Till that date<br />
there was a bundle of rules scattered around<br />
different official gazettes.<br />
Teachers’ training has changed completely<br />
from the very beginning till now. The<br />
requirements to be allowed to teach as a<br />
member of the program (technically<br />
speaking “habilitación“) are completely<br />
controversial. Better training is nee<strong>de</strong>d, but<br />
it is expensive and, you know...<br />
Apart from that, teachers have often<br />
complained about the lack of convincing<br />
responses towards those stu<strong>de</strong>nts with special<br />
difficulties. Once someone, whose name I<br />
would prefer to ignore, pointed out the<br />
possibility of kindly suggesting that they be<br />
moved to another school... and nobody left the<br />
room slamming the door behind them.<br />
Our politicians, especially the new crop of<br />
politicians, so aseptic and efficient, so dull and<br />
boring, remain obsessed by statistics. They do<br />
not care how surveys have been performed or<br />
how suspiciously similar the conclusions and<br />
their previous forecasts look.<br />
As usual, budgets, money and political<br />
<strong>de</strong>cisions are the bottom line. We will not <strong>de</strong>al<br />
with this topic in <strong>de</strong>pth, since it would<br />
represent a shaggy-dog story that never ends,<br />
but have you ever won<strong>de</strong>red why Finnish<br />
children are so brilliant and clever?<br />
All educational surveys show us they rank at<br />
the top of statistics that have to do with<br />
aca<strong>de</strong>mic achievement. Only two quick<br />
reflections: In Finland most broadcast TV<br />
programs are watched (and listened to) in O.V.<br />
Do you not think our youngsters would learn<br />
English consi<strong>de</strong>ring how long they spend in<br />
front of the TV? In addition, in Finland the<br />
teacher (or assistant)-pupil ratio is nearly one<br />
to eight/ten at Infant and Primary Education,<br />
which is remarkably different from our<br />
situation, in which twenty-five pupils can<br />
scarcely be handled by a teacher.<br />
To sum up, CLIL may be the most effective<br />
approach to learning a second language, as<br />
this provi<strong>de</strong>s a meaningful context. No<br />
doubt it is the most fashionable, having the<br />
educational authorities’ official blessing. Not<br />
only do teachers and families engaged with<br />
the project <strong>de</strong>serve a more generous<br />
response to our enthusiasm, but also our<br />
stu<strong>de</strong>nts’ success <strong>de</strong>pends on it.<br />

Trying to improve oneself is commendable,<br />
but where does the <strong>de</strong>sire to better oneself<br />
ends and where does the obsession begin?<br />
Do we really think that there aren’t any limits?<br />
The sporting calendar is gruelling, the<br />
pressure of sponsors constant, and the<br />
spectators‘ yearning for sport exploits is<br />
insatiable. How can a sportsperson withstand<br />
so much tension? Sport medicine has<br />
<strong>de</strong>veloped dramatically over recent years, and<br />
training is more and more technical and<br />
efficient, but will an athlete, even a highly<br />
gifted person, be able to get spectacular<br />
results only with a good medical team or an<br />
excellent trainer? Obviously, it’s not possible,<br />
and many people turn to the easy ‘miracle’ of<br />
doping, and it seems they don’t mind<br />
cheating because apparently they are<br />
satisfied all the same.<br />
What’s behind all of this? What are the<br />
interests that really move sportspersons to<br />
accept dope? Why do they risk losing their<br />
prestige to win a race or to beat a record?<br />
COSAS QUE NOS INTERESAN <br />
IS IT WORTH IT?<br />
40<br />
We always take pri<strong>de</strong> in sportspersons‘ exploits and in fact<br />
they have sometimes been treated as <strong>de</strong>migods. Even<br />
nowadays they are more valued than doctors or scientists.<br />
People adore a winner.<br />
Michael Phelps won eight gold medals in the last Olympic Games<br />
and he became a legend;in the year 2012 he or a new swimming<br />
hero will have to beat that heroic <strong>de</strong>ed.It’s not enough to beat<br />
your rival;athletes must break records over and over again.<br />
The story of an African athlete has impressed<br />
me particularly. He is implicated in the Galgo<br />
police operation, a doping scandal that has<br />
broken out in Spain. He came from Ethiopia, a<br />
country where life is worth nothing. He was<br />
an illegal immigrant sleeping on the street,<br />
and sud<strong>de</strong>nly he discovered that, thanks to<br />
the fact that he was able to run very fast, he<br />
would be able to join the ADO Program. He<br />
was safe, he ate, he was respected because he<br />
won medals for Spain. But the <strong>de</strong>mands were<br />
increasing, and which did Alemayehu<br />
Bezabeh choose, to return to hunger, or the<br />
insecurity or doping? I think the answer is<br />
obvious. The final responsibility was his but<br />
who suggested the i<strong>de</strong>a to him?<br />
I’m not sure that a sportsperson tells himself or<br />
herself ‘now I will take drugs to be on the list of<br />
great athletes’and then goes to a chemist’s and<br />
buys what they need. It’s clear that not only the<br />
athletes are to blame for it, but there is a<br />
framework of interests and pressures, and in<br />
most cases someone puts drugs in their hands.
COSAS QUE NOS INTERESAN<br />
There is too much money in sport. The stakes<br />
are high and athletes have to give a hundred<br />
percent or they may lose their grant; trainers<br />
need to get results to persua<strong>de</strong> new clients;<br />
sport doctors, pharmaceutical companies...<br />
everybody wants to win, but sports persons<br />
are the ones who put their lives at risk.<br />
Is the fleeting glory really worth it? Nowadays<br />
there are so many top athletes and the rivalry<br />
is so hard that it is very difficult to keep up!<br />
Doping is everywhere and I think that all of us<br />
suspect that many sportspersons are doped.<br />
Armstrong, Contador and a lot of other great<br />
athletes are in doubt.<br />
Evi<strong>de</strong>ntly, I am not trying to justify doping at<br />
all. In fact I can’t even un<strong>de</strong>rstand the<br />
obsession with breaking records. I think<br />
people who have won by cheating are<br />
committing fraud, particularly if the other<br />
rivals haven’t done it. But after reading the<br />
statements and seeing the reactions of some<br />
people to the Galgo case, I won<strong>de</strong>r if people<br />
are really as shocked by doping as it seems.<br />
The question is, if the record to beat in a race,<br />
for example the 100 meters sprint, is 10<br />
seconds flat and chemistry can only help to<br />
run this race in 9 seconds flat, where is the<br />
merit? Because if just breaking records<br />
constantly is the most important thing, and<br />
this is impossible without doping, why is it<br />
not allowed?<br />
That way the athlete who had chosen the<br />
best product would be the winners. I’m sure<br />
that the pharmaceutical companies would<br />
appreciate it.<br />
Unfortunately I just know that, for now, all<br />
this has caused the suici<strong>de</strong> of an athlete,<br />
Alberto León, who wasn’t able to face up to a<br />
difficult situation, and a lot of people<br />
involved can end up in jail.<br />
I still think that all this isn’t worth it at all!<br />

The origins of Gui<strong>de</strong> Dogs:<br />
To establish the origins of dog training, we<br />
have to go back to 1827 in Australia, where<br />
Leopold Chimani wrote a book which<br />
inclu<strong>de</strong>d the history of Joseph Resinger,<br />
blind since the age of 17, who had trained<br />
his three dogs.<br />
It was almost one hundred years later when<br />
the movement of gui<strong>de</strong> dogs began as we<br />
know it today.<br />
The growing number of German soldiers<br />
who became blind during the First World<br />
War inspired Dr. Gehar Stalling to open the<br />
first school in the world <strong>de</strong>dicated to the<br />
training of gui<strong>de</strong> dogs for blind people.<br />
The school opened its doors in 1916 in<br />
Germany with excellent results and soon<br />
other three schools were opened. At first<br />
German Shepherds were used. This breed<br />
was very popular and gave excellent<br />
results.<br />
History of gui<strong>de</strong> dogs in Spain:<br />
The first gui<strong>de</strong> dog arrived in Spain in 1963<br />
and came from the “Lions Club” school of<br />
Detroit. The National Organization for the<br />
Blind in Spain (ONCE) and the Lions Club<br />
Association from Rochester, Michigan,<br />
reached an agreement to bring gui<strong>de</strong> dogs<br />
to our country.<br />
The first gui<strong>de</strong> dog training centre in Spain<br />
was the “School for the Blind”, foun<strong>de</strong>d in<br />
1972 in Majorca, but it closed its doors<br />
officially in 1987. After that, in 1990, ONCE<br />
opened the only centre which exists<br />
nowadays in Spain. It is located in Boadilla<br />
<strong>de</strong>l Monte, Madrid.<br />

Used races:<br />
The most popular breeds for gui<strong>de</strong> dogs<br />
today are the cross between Labrador and<br />
Gol<strong>de</strong>n. The essential characteristics for<br />
gui<strong>de</strong> dogs are adaptability, sociability,<br />
communication and motivation.<br />
Training stages:<br />
First Stage: Stay in the family, from six weeks<br />
to a year of age. Here the puppy learns<br />
everyday situations, common sounds, to be<br />
clean in the house, how to walk with the<br />
lead on the left si<strong>de</strong>, and not to be<br />
<strong>de</strong>structive. It becomes familiar with going<br />
to the cinema, restaurants, and other social<br />
places.<br />
Second Stage: Stay in the specific training<br />
centre, from one to two years of age. The<br />
dog progresses from basic obedience to<br />
specific training: walking in a straight line,<br />
negotiating kerbs and obstacles, etc.<br />
In this stage the dog gets more responsibility<br />
and is exposed to different situations and<br />
increasing difficulties. At the end of this stage<br />
the trainer works with a mask in different<br />
environments to test the dog’s abilities.<br />
Third Stage: Stay with the user, from one<br />
year and a half or two years onwards.<br />
The selected blind person attends a threeweek<br />
course at the training centre where<br />
they learn how to care for and handle the<br />
gui<strong>de</strong> dog. The course continues at the<br />
place of resi<strong>de</strong>nce of the blind person, and<br />
once a month or if the person requires the<br />
introduction of a new route or specific<br />
difficulties arise, the trainer will help them.

How to act when you are with a blind<br />
person and their gui<strong>de</strong> dog:<br />
It’s important to bear in mind that this dog is<br />
not a pet so don’t pat it or try to get its<br />
attention. If you distract it you can cause an<br />
acci<strong>de</strong>nt that can be very dangerous for them.<br />
Don’t be afraid, it won’t bite you, because it is<br />
trained to care for and protect its owner and<br />
respect the rules of social coexistence. If you<br />
bring another dog, take it on a lead to avoid<br />

Other benefits could be mentioned, like<br />

power of the Social Media has come to the<br />
rescue of the advertising sector. Yet, for most<br />
people, this is the main risk. I am referring to<br />
privacy. Although it is an issue which<br />
generates different feelings as a function of<br />
culture, it is certainly the case that it is a<br />
worrying question for most people. There are<br />
many voices crying out for stricter privacy<br />
settings. Companies, people and even<br />
governments can find out about our personal<br />

It seems it is a common sense question. Don’t<br />
publish stuff which you don’t want people to<br />

Although people should be more careful,<br />
social networks should provi<strong>de</strong> easy-to-use<br />
privacy settings as well. Social Media<br />
executives don’t seem to un<strong>de</strong>rstand that<br />
Internet users aren’t really heavy users.<br />
There are many people who are afraid of<br />
technology, so these platforms must not<br />
forget this audience. I don’t think that you<br />
have to be afraid of them; Social Media are<br />
just a new reality waiting to be used by<br />
people.<br />
Learn a bit about their functionalities and<br />
their risks before you join them; that is my<br />
advice. Just a fair amount of common sense<br />
mixed with a little training should be<br />
enough. Are you ready for the Social Media<br />

There isn’t a place in the world<br />
which hasn’t its own legend. And<br />
if we want to find one of the most<br />
important in England we must go<br />
to Stonehenge, which, in spite of<br />
the elapsed time, still poses many<br />
questions. There are a lot of<br />
professional studies about this<br />
monument but the mystery<br />
remains to this day.<br />
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument<br />
located 13 km north of Salisbury, in the<br />
county of Wiltshire. It is supposed to have<br />
been erected around 2500 BC and it<br />
represents a burial place in whose mound the<br />
lea<strong>de</strong>rs of nearby tribes were buried.<br />
The mound was originally covered with pines.<br />
Work to clear the area commenced around 3050<br />
BC. Once the area was clean, the first thing to<br />

make was a woo<strong>de</strong>n structure at the centre of<br />
the mound, and then they started to erect the<br />
monument. The stones were brought from two<br />
different sites: the large ones from Marlborough<br />
Downs, about 30 km from the monument, and<br />
the smaller ones from Preseli Mountains in<br />
Wales, about 385 km away. The former were<br />
known as Sarsen Stones and the latter as<br />
Bluestones. Construction spanned more than<br />
1,000 years and en<strong>de</strong>d around 1500 BC.<br />
It’s evi<strong>de</strong>nt that the monument was built by a<br />
culture that left no written records. The main<br />
meanings of Stonehenge are still undiscovered<br />
and there are a great quantity of theories, which<br />
are often called the“mystery of Stonehenge”.<br />
Besi<strong>de</strong>s a burial place, the complex was used as<br />
an astronomical observatory and religious site.<br />
The exact position of the stones mark both<br />
solstices, winter and summer, <strong>de</strong>pending on<br />
your position in the site. It has also been<br />
suggested that Stonehenge could have been a<br />
place of healing where the weakly members of<br />
surrounding tribes were taken.
COSAS QUE NOS INTERESAN<br />
Those who <strong>de</strong>fend this theory point to the<br />
high number of burials in this area.<br />
The main entrance to the monument is<br />
marked by the Heel Stone, of a height of about<br />
5m and leaning toward the centre of the stone<br />
circle. If you stand within Stonehenge looking<br />
in a north-east direction from the entrance to<br />
the heelstone you can see the sun rise<br />
above this stone at summer solstice. A folk<br />
tale says that this stone was brought from<br />
Ireland by the Devil.<br />
In the Middle Ages another tale attributed<br />
the construction of the monument to<br />
Merlin, the wizard.<br />
The stones were in Ireland, where they had<br />
been carried by giants. Aurelius Ambrosias,<br />
in the 5th century, <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>d to bury the<br />
3,000 noblemen who had died in the battle<br />
against the Saxons and he brought the<br />
stones to Salisbury. When King Arthur<br />
learned about the medicinal properties of<br />
such stones he or<strong>de</strong>red Merlin to look for<br />
the nearest place to Tintagel Castle in or<strong>de</strong>r<br />
to move the monument. Merlin, with a great<br />
number of knights, procee<strong>de</strong>d to execute<br />
the King’s or<strong>de</strong>rs, but the Devil didn’t permit<br />
the robbery and forced them to stop where<br />
the stones are at present. But the mystery<br />
still remains: where are the missing stones?<br />
The ownership of Stonehenge has changed<br />
several times since King Henry VIII bought<br />
Amesbury Abbey and all its land. In 1540<br />
the proprietor was the Earl of Hertford, later<br />
Lord Carleton, Marquis of Queensbury. In<br />
1824 the estate was bought by the<br />
Antrobus family of Cheshire. In September<br />
1915 it was bought by Cecil Chubb at<br />
auction, and he gave it to the nation in<br />
1918. In 1986 the site was <strong>de</strong>clared a World<br />
Heritage Site by UNESCO. Stonehenge is<br />
owned by the Crown and managed by<br />
English Heritage.<br />
The monument has un<strong>de</strong>rgone several<br />
restoration works and at present most of<br />
the inner stones, the Sarsen Stones, have<br />
concrete bases. The last of such<br />
restorations was carried out in 1963. A July<br />
2010 project discovered what appears to<br />
be a new henge less than 1 km away from<br />
the main site.<br />

la leçon du papillon<br />
Un jour est apparu un petit trou dans un cocon ; un homme qui passait à tout hasard s’est<br />
arrêté pour observer le papillon qui s’efforçait <strong>de</strong> sortir par ce petit trou.<br />
Après un long moment, c’était comme si le papillon avait abandonné car le trou<br />
<strong>de</strong>meurait toujours aussi petit. On dirait que le papillon avait fait tout ce qu’il pouvait, et<br />
qu’il ne pouvait plus rien faire d’autre. Alors l’homme a décidé d’ai<strong>de</strong>r le papillon : il a pris<br />
son canif et il a ouvert le cocon. Le papillon est sorti aussitôt mais son corps était maigre et<br />
engourdi, ses ailes étaient peu développées et bougeaient à peine.<br />
C’était le moule à travers lequel la vie le<br />
faisait passer pour grandir et se développer.<br />
Parfois, l’effort est exactement ce dont nous<br />
avons besoin dans notre vie. Si l’on nous<br />
permettait <strong>de</strong> vivre notre vie sans rencontrer<br />
d’obstacles, nous serions limités. Nous ne<br />
pourrions pas être aussi forts que nous le<br />
sommes. Nous ne pourrions jamais voler.<br />

J’ai <strong>de</strong>mandé la sagesse et la vie m’a donné<br />

J’ai <strong>de</strong>mandé la prospérité et la vie<br />

Le Grand Meaulnes<br />
Il y a <strong>de</strong> bons livres, il y a <strong>de</strong>s livres<br />
excellents, il y a aussi, peut être, un livre qui<br />
est quelque chose <strong>de</strong> plus, c´est-à-dire, le<br />
livre <strong>de</strong> ta vie. « Le grand Meaulnes, pour<br />
moi, c´est un <strong>de</strong>s livres <strong>de</strong> ma vie »<br />
Pourquoi ? Parce que, c´est sérieux, intense,<br />
étouffant, presque suffocant, à cause <strong>de</strong> son<br />
intensité. C´est aussi le premier roman que<br />
tout le mon<strong>de</strong> attend d´un jeune écrivain.<br />
En 1913, Henri Alban Fournier publie sous le<br />
pseudonyme d’Alain Fournier, “Le grand Meaulnes”,<br />
l´un <strong>de</strong>s romans d´adolescence les plus célèbres <strong>de</strong><br />
la littérature française. Moins d´un an plus tard,<br />
Alain Fournier disparaît sur le front. Avant d’être<br />
tué il a écrit dans une <strong>de</strong> ses lettres : « Je sais tout<br />
ce que je ne puis atteindre. Je sais que ma vie n´est<br />
que le désir <strong>de</strong> cela »<br />
Je ferai maintenant une synopsis ou résumé du livre.<br />
François, quinze ans, narrateur du récit est le fils <strong>de</strong><br />
M. et Mme Seurel, instituteurs <strong>de</strong> Sainte Agathe, en<br />
Sologne. Un mois avant la rentrée un nouveau<br />
compagnon <strong>de</strong> dix-sept ans vient habiter chez eux.<br />
« L’arrivée d´Augustin Meaulnes fut pour moi le<br />
commencement d´une vie nouvelle », dit le<br />
narrateur. La personnalité mystérieuse d´Augustin,<br />
le Grand Meaulnes, comme les élèves l´appelleront<br />
bientôt, va bouleverser le rythme monotone <strong>de</strong><br />
l´établissement scolaire et fasciner tous les élèves.<br />
Un jour, pendant le cours, Meaulnes disparaît et<br />
réapparaît trois jours après. Il ne veut dire à personne<br />
où il a été. François, le narrateur, obtient enfin que<br />
Meaulnes lui fasse un récit <strong>de</strong> son étrange aventure.<br />
Parti chercher les grands parents <strong>de</strong> François à<br />
Vierzon, Meaulnes se perd en chemin. Il approche un<br />
domaine mystérieux où l´on prépare une fête, la fête a<br />
été organisée pour les fiançailles <strong>de</strong> Franz <strong>de</strong> Galais, le<br />
fils du château. Meaulnes fait la connaissance d´une<br />
jeune fille, Yvonne <strong>de</strong> Galais, la sœur, dont il tombe<br />
Alain Fournier<br />
follement amoureux. La fête s´arrête prématurément<br />
parce que la fiancée <strong>de</strong> Franz <strong>de</strong> Galais ne viendra pas.<br />
Meaulnes entend un coup <strong>de</strong> feu et voit quelqu’un qui<br />
abandonne le château en emportant dans ses bras un<br />
corps humain.<br />
Pourquoi est-ce que j´ai lu ce roman ? Parce qu´il a<br />
beaucoup influencé Simone <strong>de</strong> Beauvoir et toute sa<br />
génération. Dans ses mémoires, elle i<strong>de</strong>ntifie son<br />
cousin Jacques, dont elle est amoureuse, à Augustin<br />
Meaulnes. Elle dit : « Je lus les larmes aux yeux le<br />
roman que Jacques disait aimer entre tous et qui<br />
s´appelait non le grand môle, mais le grand<br />
Meaulnes » De la même façon que Yvonne attend<br />
Augustin, Simone <strong>de</strong> Beauvoir attendait, <strong>de</strong> la part <strong>de</strong><br />
Jacques, une <strong>de</strong>man<strong>de</strong> en mariage qui, elle, n´est<br />
jamais venue. Je vous assure que les larmes vous<br />
viendront aux yeux aussi si vous lisez ce bijou <strong>de</strong> livre.<br />

Reviews<br />
When Joe Rose went to the airport to pick his wife up he didn’t know<br />
that their lives were going to change on that day.<br />
This is the stunning opening of the novel. They were on a picnic in an open<br />
field in the English countrysi<strong>de</strong> when they saw a balloon that had come<br />
down across the field. Its passengers were a man and his grandson, a young<br />
boy. The main character, Joe, who is the narrator, runs to help them with a<br />
handful of other men from different parts of the field. This is the beginning<br />
of a‘catastrophe’.<br />
His wife is Clarissa, a professor. She is a Keats scholar, the most romantic of<br />
the Romantics. On the other hand he is a scientist. They are really different<br />
and this is essential to un<strong>de</strong>rstand the novel’s progress.<br />
The other major character in the novel is Jed Perry, one of the men who helped in the balloon acci<strong>de</strong>nt. From that<br />
moment he <strong>de</strong>velops an obsession with Joe that drives him to harassment: he follows Joe, leaves him phone<br />
messages and sends him long letters explaining his feelings and thoughts.The tension causes problems in Clarissa<br />
and Joe’s relationship and Jed becomes more and more threatening until the end.<br />
It was very hard going at the beginning because of the many <strong>de</strong>scriptions of <strong>de</strong>tails and feelings and I had<br />
problems with the vocabulary. However, as soon as I got into the plot the intrigue and the mystery kept me<br />
reading and I couldn’t put it down. Finally, I’d like to say that I strongly recommend this book because I<br />
enjoyed it and learnt a lot.<br />

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas<br />
John Boyne<br />
The first thing I have to say is that I wasn’t in the mood to read this book,<br />
but I was totally wrong. This is a fantastic book about the Holocaust,<br />
with a different point of view about World War II and all the things that<br />
happened in Germany in those years. The author catches our interest<br />
by the way he tells the story. He uses Bruno to tell the story of a boy and<br />
his family who have to move to the country because of his father’s job.<br />
He paints a perfect atmosphere; you can feel as if you were there.<br />
The story happens between Berlin and somewhere in Poland. It is told with<br />
the eyes of innocence. Bruno is the son of a commandant of the SS that has<br />
to live in the country with nothing interesting to do. Bruno never realized<br />
what was happening in the“Out-With”(Auschwitz actually), not even when<br />
he had a friend that lived there. Shmuel, his friend, who lived on the other si<strong>de</strong> of the fence, never wanted to open<br />
Bruno’s eyes and let him live happy with his eyes closed. Sometimes the story disappoints you because Bruno<br />
seems to be less than 9-10 years old when he can’t realize who his father or lieutenant Kotler are and what<br />
is happening there. Another thing I didn’t like too much was that the end of the book is predictable.<br />
It is an easy book to read, and even though the content is hard and terrible, it is a real page-turner. It is<br />
<strong>de</strong>licate with the theme; the author avoids being sensationalist. Through the eyes of Bruno, he makes even<br />
the German soldiers look like good people.<br />

Girl with a Pear Earring<br />
Tracy Chevalier<br />
I think “Girl with a Pearl Earring” is a real page-turner, because after the<br />
first page, you are so absorbed into Griet and the world surrounding<br />
her, that you can’t put it down. The ability she has to <strong>de</strong>scribe what she<br />
sees just holds you in till the end because of the great <strong>de</strong>tail. It leads<br />
you to imagine things for yourself, which makes you enjoy the book<br />
more. When you read it you feel as if you are looking through Griet’s<br />
eyes. It is really gripping.<br />
I would recommend reading this historical novel, because it’s light and<br />
easy to read. At the same time, you will be drawn into the world of<br />
painting and the harsh world of the 17th century. It is a very interesting<br />
novel, which follows the life-changing experiences of quiet Griet over<br />
the two years she serves the Delft painter, Johannes Vermeer. It is hard not to like this good and obedient<br />
protagonist, for she struggles with universal yearnings such as love and an escape from poverty. Her life is<br />
a really solitary one as she finds herself growing apart from her family while living as an outsi<strong>de</strong>r in someone<br />
else‘s home. I believe it is a good read and it is certainly worth your time.<br />

The No. 1<br />
Ladies’ Detective Agency<br />
Alexan<strong>de</strong>r McCall Smith<br />
This novel is written by Alexan<strong>de</strong>r McCall Smith, who was born in Zimbabwe<br />
and educated in Scotland. In addition, he lived in Botswana, where he<br />
lectured at various universities. So it is obvious the author knows and loves<br />
Botswana and its culture and this comes through in his <strong>de</strong>scriptions of the<br />
landscape and the people. It received two Booker Judges’ Special<br />
Recommendations and was voted one of the International Books of theYear<br />
and Millennium by the Times Literary Supplement.<br />
This book is the first in a series of eleven books that <strong>de</strong>scribe the exploits of<br />
a rather traditional middle-aged woman, the main character of this novel, from Botswana, who follows her dreams<br />
and opens the first <strong>de</strong>tective agency in Gaborone, the capital of Botswana. She is like a heroine, whose courage and<br />
psychology help people with problems in their lives. Although her methods may not be conventional, she has<br />
warmth and intuition. The story <strong>de</strong>als with serious issues which are nonetheless explained with humour.<br />
In my opinion this book is easy to read; it is like short stories. I recommend it because it is different and offers<br />
a captivating glimpse of an unusual world with strange situations. This novel leaves you with a feeling that<br />
everything is right in the world.<br />

The novel is a comic ‘what if’ story: In 1992 the People’s Republican<br />
Party is elected and the new Prime Minister, Jack Barker, manages to<br />
make the Royal Family live like normal people. The story is about how<br />
the family copes with their new situation, when they end up in the<br />
Midlands on a council estate: ‘Hellebore Close.‘<br />
This novel has short chapters, which makes it easy to read. All the<br />
people in the novel are very well characterized. The younger<br />
characters are funnier: Charles on the run from prison, Anne in a<br />
relationship with a carpet fitter...<br />
A disadvantage is that the book is a bit dated: at the time when this<br />
story was written some of the royals were still alive, like the Queen<br />
Mother, Princess Margaret, or Princess Diana, who was still married to Prince Charles. Likewise, there<br />
hadn’t been a Labour government since the 70’s.<br />
On the other hand, one thing I found very funny was the way the locals in Hellebore struggle to<br />
un<strong>de</strong>rstand their neighbours’ upper-class accent. This is a very interesting and hilarious novel, in which<br />
fiction and real life are mixed.<br />

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hy<strong>de</strong><br />
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hy<strong>de</strong> is a mixture of a mystery and a<br />
terror novel. It was written by R. L. Stevenson in the<br />
nineteenth century an it is set in the streets of London.<br />
The plot focuses on the duality of the human<br />
spirit balancing between the two principles of<br />
good and evil. It tells the story of a well-known<br />
doctor whose name is Dr Jekyll. Since he was a<br />
child he’d had a very serious life. He was<br />
successful in his job as a scientist. All the<br />
people saw a serious, hard-working doctor.<br />
However, behind this quiet character was an<br />
active, fun-loving young man.<br />
These two si<strong>de</strong>s of him are very important and<br />
that makes him spend a long time in his<br />
laboratory trying to get a drug that could give<br />
each si<strong>de</strong> of his personality its own separate<br />
face and body. With time he gets it and he<br />
starts taking it. When he drinks it he feels<br />
anger, sickness and pain. He transforms<br />
himself into a brave, evil and younger person.<br />
He gives this new man the name of Mr Hy<strong>de</strong>.<br />
The plot has an unexpected twist when Mr<br />
Hy<strong>de</strong> starts to commit terrible and violent<br />
acts. He hits children with a stick, kills a man,<br />
and performs many other evil actions. With<br />
these events, the police and people begin to<br />
know about Mr Hy<strong>de</strong> and to look for him. This<br />
prosecution means that Dr Jekyll is in trouble<br />
so he stops taking the drug and continues<br />
living his life as Dr Jekyll again. But the book<br />
reaches its dramatic climax when one day<br />
Jekyll is outsi<strong>de</strong> and Mr Hy<strong>de</strong> takes over him<br />
and his body starts changing into Mr Hy<strong>de</strong>’s<br />
without any control.<br />
Jekyll needs then to make a plan with his very<br />
good friend Dr Lanyon to get rid of Mr Hy<strong>de</strong>.<br />
But Lanyon discovers the truth about Jekyll’s<br />
life and gets shocked and ill.<br />
He writes a letter to a very good friend of<br />
them, Mr Utterson (a lawyer), telling him the<br />
whole story but asking him not to read it until<br />
Dr Jekyll has disappeared. Lanyon then gives<br />
Dr Jekyll the drug but it isn’t working anymore<br />
and finally Mr Hy<strong>de</strong> takes over Dr Jekyll.<br />
The days of Jekyll had reached their end. But<br />
one day the lawyer and a good friend of Jekyll<br />
are summoned by Jekyll’s servant. They go to<br />
his house and find Mr Jekyll lying on the floor<br />
with Mr Hy<strong>de</strong>’s appearance. He is <strong>de</strong>ad. The<br />
lawyer then takes the letter and reads it,<br />
discovering the whole dramatic story of Dr<br />
Jekyll and Mr Hy<strong>de</strong>.<br />
This is the end of a tragic, dramatic story where an<br />
evil part of a man took over him. The style is clever<br />
and exciting. It is a highly entertaining read and it<br />
will keep you on the edge of your seat.<br />

Insecure,<br />
perhaps<br />
frightened, but<br />
always paying<br />
attention to the<br />
outsi<strong>de</strong>, to me.<br />
I’m talking<br />
about the<br />
woman at the<br />
window. She<br />
hasn’t been<br />
doing anything<br />
but watching<br />
me for the last<br />
twenty<br />
minutes. I also<br />
have been<br />
watching her, although she hasn’t<br />
noticed, as I’ve been looking at<br />
her reflection in the water.<br />
As you can guess, I’m near a lake; but not a<br />
normal lake, this is a special one. It’s in the<br />
middle of the forest, and it has a big house in<br />
front of it. Don’t ask me what the hell I’m<br />
doing here. The gorgeous colour of the water,<br />
the silence of the place, and a sad woman<br />
watching me, make it special, maybe a little<br />
frightening.<br />

SEEN THROUGH<br />
A WINDOW<br />
Cape Cod - Edward Hopper<br />
She looks as if she is asking for help, as if her<br />
house doesn’t let her leave it. She may be in<br />
trouble. I’ve realised that actually she looks<br />
worried about something. Honestly, I don’t<br />
know what’s the point of watching me<br />
through a window; her problems won’t<br />
disappear.<br />
Some people have too much free time.<br />

VEGANISMUS IST EINE<br />
GERECHTE LEBENSWEISE<br />
Veganismus ist eine Lebensweise, die auf <strong>de</strong>r Philosophie beruht, dass alle Tiere intelligente<br />
Lebewesen sind, die lei<strong>de</strong>n können. Deshalb dürfen sie we<strong>de</strong>r gegessen noch Experimenten<br />
unterzogen wer<strong>de</strong>n und sollten unseren vollen Respekt genießen. Wir können gesund und<br />
ausgewogen leben, ohne dass wir uns mit Tierfleisch ernähren müssen. Die Wahl zwischen Leben<br />
und Tod von hun<strong>de</strong>rten von Tieren ist so einfach wie die Wahl <strong>de</strong>s einen o<strong>de</strong>r an<strong>de</strong>ren Gerichts auf <strong>de</strong>r<br />
Speisekarte. Es ist möglich, uns ohne Tierleid zu ernähren und unsere Essgewohnheiten<br />
beizubehalten. Mit diesem Rezept wird das bestätigt.<br />
