A quiet Valentine’s
Posted on February 14, 2014
I gave myself a Valentine treatment at Soap.
Walking around the city, love was everywhere. I saw so many guys walking
around with flower bouquets and every time, I was too late with my camera to
capture it, damn! They all looked so sweet and everyone who saw them were
exchanging sympathy looks with the others around and also trying to show the
man himself that they had acknowledged how sweet he was.
Even one of the girls, working at the salon got a flower delivery when I was
there.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/unityesterdaymaterials-150214113022-conversion-gate01/85/Unit-yesterday-materials-5-320.jpg)

Perfect Sunday past, moving on Posted on February 16, 2014 I had one of the best weekends so far in 2014. We didn’t go out and spend money. We actually stayed in and made money instead. Well, we did not actually stay in, we went to the flea market. I saw so many nice things but of course there was no point in buying since we are moving. Paul was quite happy about it. (…) I spotted so many nice things for the house… But no, no. Not allowed this time. I had two portions of poffertjes1 for lunch. But I did miss the whipped cream and jam with it. That’s how we eat them in Sweden. In The Netherlands you eat them with butter. Another gold medal to Sweden this afternoon! I watched it while I was at the gym. It really raised my adrenaline and made me run faster than ever! Thank you! Adapted from http://emmaslifestories.com/ a) Decide if the following sentences are true or false. If they are false, explain why. Emma’s husband offered her a treatment at Soap. She took a lot of photos of boys walking around with flowers. Only one girl in the salon received a flower. Emma didn’t like her weekend. Emma and Paul went out to a flea market. Emma spent a lot of money in the flea market. Emma didn’t buy anything because they are moving. Emma thinks that poffertjes in Sweden are as good as in the Netherlands. Emma won a gold medal for Sweden. b) Write the negative sentence for all the sentences that are false about Emma. 1 Dutch word to refer to small pancakes.

Activity 7 - Reading Adina, a Romanian student, travelled to an Italian city. She speaks us about her experience. Read the text and answer the questions. Last April I was in Arezzo, a city located in the beautiful region of Tuscany, in Italy. Four schools from Italy, Spain, Turkey and Romania gathered there for an international project. Its purpose was promoting English as means of communication in European adult education. I met lovely, funny, intelligent, dedicated people from who I had a lot to learn. Arezzo has a lot of historical buildings which take you back in time. You can imagine Michelangelo himself walking around the city. In Arezzo, Guido Monaco showed the world how sounds look on paper. The Italian medieval poet Francesco Petrarca was also born in Arezzo. We had a very warm welcome and the relationship between students and teachers was very nice. With the help of Simona, my host, and her family I discovered a place that I could easily get to call home.

Activity 8 – Reading + Writing Aithor, a Spanish student, travelled to Romania on holidays with his family. Read the text and answer the questions. My name is Aithor and last summer I went on holidays to Transylvania with my family. Transylvania is a region in the middle of Romania surrounded by mountains. We spent there a week travelling by car and visiting very nice towns and villages. One day we visited Bran castle where count Vlad used to live. Vlad the Impaler, also known as Vlad Dracula, was a very cruel ruler who lived in the 15 Century. Inspired by this historical count, Bram Stoker, an Irish writer, created in 1897 his fiction character Dracula. When we were visiting Bran castle, we saw some pictures of count Vlad Dracula. My little sister was very scared and that night she had a nightmare. She dreamt she had been bitten by a vampire and that then she was one of them.

Activity 9 – Reading Read carefully the following test about a Catalan musician. Pablo Casals (Pau Casals i Defilló) was a Spanish Catalan cellist, born in El Vendrell, a village between Barcelona and Tarragona, in 1876. He is generally thought of as the greatest cellist of his time. He made the cello popular as a solo instrument and inspired many cellists of the younger generation. Casals made many recordings of solo, chamber, and orchestral music. Perhaps his best known recordings are the ones he made between 1936 and 1939 of the Cello Suites by Bach. When the dictator General Franco started to rule Spain he felt very strongly about the political situation. When the democratic government was defeated in 1939 he said that he would never go back to Spain until democracy had been restored. In fact, he died in San Juan de Puerto Rico in 1973. In his later years he was also a conductor as well as a composer. One of his last compositions was the Himne a les Nacions Unides (Hymn of the United Nations); he conducted its first performance in a special concert at the United Nations on 24 October 1971, 2 months before his 95th birthday. Casals was a great teacher, and he learned a lot about playing through his teaching and showed his pupils how their left hand could be strong but also relaxed. The International Pau Casals Cello Competition is held in Germany once every four years. It was started in 2000 to help young cellists to start their careers.
