Come on!!!!
I just wanted to write that after reading your compositions, you should use the blog if you want to improve. The good news is that you already have the vocabulary, so you just need to keep the order. Remember: subject+verb+complements.
Remember how Noemí did it in her own composition, with very small sencences. Start from zero, and do not translate from spanish. That is the way you will get used to to think in English!
Hello classmates!!!
Well, i am the first in write in the blog. I start to read the book and in my opinion it isn't hard to read. I hope that i like the history.
Hello!!
It begins the adventure. I am going to start reading. Did i liked it?
Hello!!
Do you help me?I read the previous pages and Acknowledgements. Do we read the second matter fom tomorrow??
I feel it because I don`t very vocabulary.
hello estefania!
we have to read to page 10.
lucky for you
Hi!!
Yes Fani, we have to read to page 10.
In my opinion the history start interesting, i want to read more! :-)
Hello!
I am glad you have written a bit in the blog, but you should try to do it even more. If you are able to write 150 words as you did last week, you can do this easily.
Careful with the third person, and with the order:
Noemí: subj+verb+comp
The adventure begins
Carmen: the story (history=what happened long ago; story: the plot of a tale or a film or a book) startS!!!!
In my opinion it is very interesting the way our little boy looks at the world and describe it, not as a whole, but parting from small details that he perceives. What do you think about it?
I will try to speak about that next Friday, so we can post some more comments in advance.
Keep on working!
Hello again!
As I told you on Friday, I find the interior of Christopher's mind very interesting. His inability to be connected with the rest of the people must be absolutely painful, but I can almost understand a bit of that rejection.
Have you ever felt like this? Have you ever wanted to live in a cave on the top of a mountain? Have you ever had the feeling that people sucks (ups! it's vulgar)that people is hateful?
Think about that this weekend, and write it in the blog. Do not waste this opportunity to learn!
I HOPE WITH THIS CURIOUS BOOK TO LEARN MORE ENGLISH
Today i'm feeling bad, because I have headhache.
Today, started to read the next pages of the book, and I'm looking the unknow words for me, in www.worderefence.com
Well, I'll read more. :-)
See you tomorrow!!!
I WOULDN`T LIKE TO LIVE IN A CAVE ON THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN BECAUSE I WILL BE AFRAID AND ALSO I WILL FEEL COLD.
I am very glad, Isabel, you have written in the blog. Your second comment has been done perfectly! As I said this morning, there is a high level in the class of the first-year students, so let´s give a lesson to the students of the second year! ; )
When I said this thing about living in a cave, I ment metaphorically: it does not mean that I wanted to live really in a cave. However, I had the impression sometimes that I do not understand people, and I don´t feel the same they usually do, so I would prefer living apart from the society. It happened to me very rarely, but sometimes because of a confrontation with someone, because of the non corresponded love (fortunately long ago!). Last time I felt this, it was very recently because of having to face hard bad news.
I know it is not the solution to solve any problem, but when I read Christopher´s reaction to the policeman interrogation, a part of me understood why he felt like this.
I have to stop writting, because then Isabel will say I am like a parrot!
Now it is your turn. I know you can do it!
Well... Is my turn.
I want to live in a cave, when for example, in classroom, I have to show a work to my partners, In those moments I'm feeling very very neirvous and my face seems a tomato.
I'm sure, is a stupid story but... are hard situation for me.
Thank's for your atention! ;-)
Hello!!
In my opinion, I wantn`t to live in cave because I`m need to live wthi company the other person for exaple: My friends and my family.
When I was going for a Walk in the Street, I looked the shop window very quick and If my friends and me walk for diversity street in the city, I will be happy and We can talk all time.
The book is interesting than me because On the one chapter I looked for very vocabulary but at the moment I am trying better to read.
Hi!today is the first time that I write in the blog, it´s time!!the friday I couln´t go to the reading club because I was doctor, what did you do????
I hope to follow you because my english is not very high!!!
Do not worry Patricia, as soon as you get used to writing in this blog, you will see how your English is better.
We have to read from page 20 to 30 by the next Friday.
Hello!!
wel i am very tired but i want write in the blog. Today i can't read the book but tomorrow i will read. when i read from the page 20 to 30 i will tell you my opinion. i go to the bed and tomorrow i see you. good night!!!!
Hi everybody!!
This afternoon, I was read the pages from 20 to 30 at the book
and from my point of view, Christopher, the protagonist of the story, is a special kid and the people no understand him.
He has Asperger Sindrome, and the people with this disease have interest and know about things that no interest to the others, for example: Explanations about prime numbers, the Milky way, and so on.
Christopher explains that he doesn't understand the meaning of the metaphores, and he is feeling confused.
But in my opinion, i'm sure that he is feeling very strange in the world.
HELLO!!!
This is my first comment. I don't say write.
The book ara very interesting and i understand more and more words.
I think that Chirstopher is intelligent but his problem is that people in the police station don't say thay he has a illness.
I am hooked to the history and i want continue with the book.
Well young i go to home. I see you yesterday. Bye bye
hello
the book seems very interesting, what surprises me is how to act young for their disease. I think the way the young see things is very strange and I wonder if people who have this disease really think like the young.
What do you think?
regarding the issue of sitting in a cave, I think everyone happens in similar cases. I want to live in a cave when I meet problems of different groups, such as: family, school, friends, boyfriend and work. if the problems that I can with them, happen at the same time, I drop the world over because it can not find anyone to talk to, and I need to be alone to clear my head.
Hi!!!I read the next pages of the book. This part is very sad because Christopher tell that his mum was sick. He tell about the day that mother's Christopher go to the hospital. so I don't say more about this because tomorrow we will say from this in the reading club. I hope to see tomorrow. Bye
MARTA AREVALO.
Hello!!!!Good night!!!
This is the first time I write on the blog.
I haven´t time because my life is very stressful I´m studying and when go the weekend I work in the Parador of La Granja.
While, I went to cavern during some days, every problems are with myself. because I feel that I´m adult, I hate!!!!!
I feel that all people can live the different forms. I can`t do. I want live in a cavern.
What do you think about problem?
Can I find a solution?
Today, I read a book and the pages are very boring because nobody understands the child. I think It has to go through things more interesting that now.
Goodnight fellow club.
Are 11:45 pm and I just finished reading.
I have a desire to continue reading.I have a curiosity.
Christopher see his mother in the hospital? I hope so.
I would want to see. If she were my mother.
I would live in a cave ...
Hello:
I am happy because in the firs and second days in this class I didn´t understand very words and at now I ready a little quick I don´t seek a lot words.
I have read the book and I am a little sad because in the chapter forty-three Christopher tells that one day his mother didn´t went a house afther the work bexause the mother stayed in the hospital because She taked the heart damaged and Christopher didn´t like the hospital food.
The finally I want said that I like the book when I am undertanding it.
Good bey and Good Ninght
Hello
What a surpise it was to read such a long comments!
I am so happy you have finally written. You will see how enriching this can be for you.
Carmen, do+not forget the auxiliary: people do+not understand, that does+not interest,...
Lidia, I am glad you feel hooked ON the book. We will see you tomorrow
Nerea your writing is good! It is a petty you don´t usually take part in the class, because you should!
Silvia, vey well done: keep on defiying your embarrasement when you try to speak in public. Writing is a good way of feeling more confident with the language.
Marta, this is a very common problem when someone feels as an adult: problems, problems and more problems. However it is the way we achieve the ability of solvig them that make us grow up. Do not worry because the book will sooner get more interesting.
Noemi, your curiosity is a good sympton, it will make you read more and more.
It is great Estefanía that you reckon your own improvement. You will find it easier the more you try.
Finally, I have to say that it is really moving when he explain that things about his mother. On one hand, he is usually misunderstood, because people do not understand him, but on the other hand he feels moved by his mother absence. It is really hard to miss someone, but I can imagine how difficult it must be when you are unable to express and process your feelings like Christopher. Let us see what happen next!
Bye!
please jesus!!
can you write the topic of the next redaction???
we want start to write but first we need know the topic.
thanks!
Hello!
Today tuesday and I have read me the pages of book. Incredible
I loved the gift that Christopher made to his mother. I gave very sad that Christopher didn´t saw his mother before died.
Who killed the dog? I don´t know. I don´t suspect anyone.
I would like lived in a cave when I am sad. Also I would like because the cave is big and It would fill of books. As a library. I have always dreamed with I have a library.
It would be my library cave.
Goodbye
Really???are you sure noemi?? you should thimk that the books don't speak and don't help you when you will be sad.
If I were you I am stay im a cave full of books but also i have a friend that can help me.
I would like stay in a cave when I have a embarrasement situation, for example when I must speak english in a public. tgis is awful for me because I forget speak and I can't say a word. I hope better this soon.
Well I go to the bed, tomorrow I see you. Good night!!!
Hello!!!!
I finish now to read this part of the book.
The first pages i don't like because he speak about the death and i don't like this matter. Second part of the book i like because i like the invetigation.
I thing that Christopher is a boy very courageous and he is worried about who kill the dog.
I want to continued read the book. In this moment is very interesting.
Well I see you in the class yesterday...Bye
Remember the topic for the compossition (2º TEI):
"Plans and challenges I would like to tackle next year"
I like your interaction! I hope your all can write a comment by next friday!
Hello everybody!!
Today i´m ill and i´m not able to go out. so i had enough time to read the book.
I tink that the investigation that chrostopher is doing is very logical and funny.
Although he has a mental desease, I think he´s intelligent on his way.
I found thoose chapters very interesting.
Bye bye!! I hope you like thoose pages.-
Hello!!!

The link you have here.
http://www.megavideo.com/?d=G6P8F33M
I'm going to see it now.
Greetings!!!
Hello!!!
I've seen the first episode of How I met your mother?
It is great!
The story is very entertaining and funny.
bye!
Marta F., please let us know your opinion about the first episode more deeply in the other tread. We will love reading it!
About the rest of the group, please write a bit about how it was las Friday and your impressions of Christopher's inquiries so I can know what to expect by next Friday.
Hello! I had a small problem. I was reading the following pages of the book, the story was so interesting that I could not stop reading. I am very surprised with the story. I like much now.
I think that Christopher shouldn't abandon the investigation because I believe that he will get discover the truth.
I hope to see you tomorrow!!!BYE
This part of the book it´s very interesting and I think that cristopher have a normal problems and he want to find out who killed wellington. My favourite sentences in this part is"I whould have to be an astronaut on my own or have my own part of spacecraft which no one else could come into" I also want to hac¡ve a part of the spacecraft!!!jejejej!!chistopher has many witty thigs and I laugh a lot with.Silvia I can not either stop reading book!!!I agree with Silvia, Cristopher shouldn´t abandon the investigation.
See you tomorrow!!!!
Hello!
I also think as my companions Marta and Silvia. Now is when the part really begins much hooked. To me it was funny the white lie. I also think Christopher should stop his investigation into the murder of Wellington, but at the same time I hooked him to be so curious.
See you tomorrow!
Bye
I have the same feeling with the book. At the begining, you think that it is a silly thing, but when Christopher goes deeper, it becomes something very serious.
What do you think now about the poor and painful mothe who, by the way, wasn't faithful to Christopher father?
What a thing! Not in vain did he wanted to stop Chirstopher inquiries!
oh oh!!!
I'm very confused. the next part of the book stayed very interesting but them it was very complicated. I will have to explain tomorrow the next ten pages and I don't know how do it!!!
When the story star to be interesting, Christopher told other thing and he broke the story line.
I'm very impatient because I want to know how continue.
Bye Bye!!!!!!!!
Hello!!!
I like this part of the book. I think that this story is very interesting.
In my opinion Christopher's father must said Christopher the story about his mother.
I believe that Chistopher know anything because he answer a lot of about Mr Shears.
The second part of this chapther i don't like because i don't understand his reasoning.
I'm impatient for read the other chapter.
Now the book is more interesting.
Bye Bye frinds!!!
hello!!
this book is more interesting than i thought at the starting(i hope you agree with me). I´m beginig to understand why ms Shears is so strange with Cristopher.
this book is hooking me, because you don´t know exactly what happened with Cristopher´s mother.
good bye!!:)
"Knock", "Knock"!
Is anybody there?
Remember how important it is to keep writing if you want to improve!
Lidia, good comment, but remember "that Chirstopher knowS<-"
"To be impatient TO read"
"i don't like - The second part of this chapther" Remember subject first!!!!
Well done, Tamara.
What about our suspects about Christopher mother´s lack of faithfulness?
Hello!!!
Merry Christmas. Happy new year.
Tomorrow I see you.
How about Chrismas? I started badly. I had fever and tendinitis in his left arm.
Also I have been working. I few holidays.
What you have given? Many gifts have brought me. A ebook, trouser, coat, boots, toiletries, shirt...
I had to read a little more. I have read the letter from his mother. I understand his father. Althoug I would have given the letter. His father had to have told him that his mother had died.
You think you.
Until tomorrow.
hello!!!
The story is very interenting now, because in the istory may be christopher's mum didn't die. I think that the father of Cristopher souldn't lie to his soon. The feeling of death is very hard, and I think that lie with that isn't appropiated.
So, other thing, I would like that the story continue, I don't like that the story stop with the thougths of Cristopher and his philosophies.
what do you thing???
bye
what's happen??
we have left this blog. Nothing write a comments.why??
Tomorrow I can to explain the next 15 pages of the book. The page 151 I don't quite understand.
Once again Cristopher tolds stories form his mind. He told abaut the stars, costellations...
I will tell you more things tomorrow.
