Desperation knocking the door!

In the Language class with Andrea Schejter, we have begun seeing "How to get away with murder", and we realized that there were plentry of interesting sounds effects. We were asked to make creative presentation using the sound effects in differentes scenes. I worked with Manuel Busquets, Emilia Hernan and Olivia Converti.

Here is our work:

Situation: A woman is at the doctor`s, she is extremely ill and she believes she has little time left…

Scene 1 (In the office)

Woman- Please, tell me the truth (she sobs sadly) Am I going to die?

Doctor- No ma’ am, Although your diagnosis is not the best one, you are going to be safe and sound, after the treatment.  

W- You are a really bad liar (slurds angrily)

D- [clears throat] Miss please calm down. I am just telling you the truth.

W- Ok ( she sighs). But please tell me what the treatment consists of.

D- It is my job to speak always with the truth to my patients.. I will call my colleague to come and tell you.

W- (sniffling) Ok, I will wait for him.

Scene 2 (In the corridor)

2nd Doctor: Hello Miss, I had been notified about the situation you are going through. (coughs) We three know how hard  this situation is forf you, but I promise that with the correct treatment you will overcome it. I am sure of that (smiling)

W: [yawning] Thank you my dear. I hope everything goes well.  I will take a nap.

D: Thank you for trusting us, we are going to do everything that is on our power.

W: Bye doc...[Sneeze] (Her nose starts to bleed)
D: [Gasping] Oh, you are bleeding!

W: (She starts convulsing and dies )

People: [indistinct shouting]

Scene 3: (In the office)

Doctor 1: Have... you done your... job? (Intriguing look)

Doctor 2: Yes, let’s talk about the important thing. (serious)

Doctor 1: Have you given her the pill?

D2: Of course my friend! Keep calm and relax, everything is done, the woman won't bother us any more ( Maleficent laughter).

D1: Let's celebrate then!

People on the corridor: (clapping hands)

Scene 4: in the corridor The setting of the scene.

The doctors go out of the corridor

People: (clapping hands, cheering, laughing, yelling, indistinct chatting)

Director: CUT!

Director: Good job my team, let's set the last scene of the movie. Doctors ready?

Made with Storyboard That

A digital script: Fire!

In the Language class with Andrea we read an article "Fire" by Ivan Southall. After we worked with the story, the task given was to write our own radio play of this terrible night, we had to add sound effects, specific tenses (Simple Past, Past Continuous  and Past Perfect), use sequence connectors and a wide range of vocabulary. Finally we had to include an extra scene, invented by us, about what happened after the boys were found hiding in the bush.  I worked with Olivia Converti.

Here it is our script:


    It was early in the morning, Graham had woken up to boil water to make some tea. Wallace also woke up by the noises his friend was making.

- Sorry friend for the noise, I didn't mean to wake you up.

- No problem Graham, all in all I couldn't sleep due to the cold and the creepy noises of the woods.

[howlings]

-You see bro?

-Wow!

Graham was astonished

[Explosion sound]

- Oh my God! What have we done?

[Crackling Sound]

-We have to wake Henry up immediately before everything becomes a shower of flames.

     The fire was gaining space extremely quickly and Henry was still asleep.

[indistintic shouts]

-Let's grab our things right now!

-Henry wake up!

[Roaring sound]

-We are responsible for fierce fire. The flammable methylated spirits we were using to boil water have burst!

-Come on Henry, please wake up or you are going to burn into flames!

    Last of all Henry woke up,lost, he thought he was sleeping at home. The boys were hopeless and unattended, they were sorrounded by the red glow.

[sirens wailing]

-Firemen are coming! We are totally screwed up!

-Don't be silly Henry, they won't find us if we hide.

[Graham sobbing]

 After some minutes firemen managed to put out the fierce fire. Policemen and ambulances found the boys behind the bushes.

-Nothing is going to happen to you. We are here to protect you...

Three boys Wallace, Graham and Harry are camping in the Australian bush. 











                         
 








Here we can see the impressive snaking flames. 

'How to get away with murder", interesting case.....

In the Language class with Andrea Schejter we have been watching the series "How to get away with murder". The task of this assingment was to create, with a creative application a presentation in  which we had  to add information about the characters and the scene we chose. In our case, we chise the Episode 2 in Season 1 in wich Annalise had to show that Max was innocent for his wife's murder. I worked with Olivia Converti:

E-mail Writing

In the Language class we were asked to reply a mail that we received from a new friend who lives in another country. We should use connectors (at least 4), descriptive adjectives (at least 6), use the Prestent Perfect and before you start writing make a plan.
Here is my email:

Hi Ben!
It's great to hear from you again! Sorry I haven't written for so long but during these holidays I was very busy.
As you know, I've just arrived from NY. I spent epic days, relaxing and knowing that amazing city with my family. It was really cold there!
Well as you can guess, I spent fantastic days this summer with my friends. We went to the cinema every Saturday, and we had a great time in the pool. We also spent some memorable days on the beach. With my friends we started Zumba classes, which are really hilarious and funny. We also relax and forget about everything, we only enjoy ourselves.
Now, about my family, we are a huge family, I have many cousins, uncles, etc. However, every Sunday we get together. Anyway someone is always missing.
In addition,  in my  new English classes, I have made a new friend, called Emily. She's very cheerful, kind and funny with an awesome sense of humour. She is also very gorgeous.

"We are what we wear"

In the Language class we watched "The Devil wears Prada", a film about an ordinary girl that gets a very demanding job in Runway, a fashion magazine. We were asked to write an essay about fashion and our opinion about it. We should include, six connectors, one rethorical question, and two metaphors and similes, apart from the suitable vocabulary previous learned in class.

Nowadays fashion is a critical issue, either for teens or adults, or women or men. Is fashion essential for me? Besides I love fashion, from my point of view it is not a crucial  point. I don't care if my friends are fashionable and trendy or unstylish and antiquated. Despite the fact I personally think that definitely we are what we wear. For example if you are unfashioned you may be more relaxed and cool off. "Clothes speak for you". However if you always want to be on fashion you may be more exalted. 

 On the other hand it is a form of expression through which you can show your mood or feelings. In addition it is also related to social issues, as you can be discriminated by your looks. It is very common in school and even in jobs to be excluded as a result of your untrendy  look. 

Anyway, on the same on some occasions you must follow a dress code for example in schools and jobs. Moreover you should wear clothes suitable for your age, and of course what you like. 

 To sum up, I personally believe that you must wear what you feel comfortable with as "cloth are like a friend" you either love him to hate him. 

Learning how to write an Informal Letter
