SECOND ASSIGNMENT FOR THE "HOLIDAYS"

Hi everyone!!
y seguimos en casa (at home)... o no tanto... pero espero que tomando las precauciones necesarias (necessary precautions)... bueno, acá va la segunda "tarea" que deben cumplimentar para no quedarse atrás y recuperar algo del tiempo perdido (lost time)... un vez que teminen de practicar COMPARATIVE y SUPERLATIVE (y les tome la evaluación correspondiente) pasaremos a ver el tiempo PASADO ( PAST SIMPLE tense), por eso es esencial que miren, estudien y revisen los verbos en infinitive de la lista de la página 17 (page 17) del cuadernillo de Inglés y anoten el significado en castellano al lado. Usen el dictionary, please!!!!! Por ejemplo:

INFINITIVE

be (ser/estar)
become (convertirse/transformarse)
blow (soplar)
etc....


y así sucesivamente... el primer día de clase yo pasaré a revisar que eso esté hecho...ok?
See you soon and good luck!!!!
PS: Felicito a aquellos alumnos que han cumplido con la "tarea" anterior, que han visitado las paginas, practicado... eso les servirá de mucho para la evaluación... aunque hay muchos que no han hecho nada aún... a apurarse porque el tiempo se acaba y se verá en los resultados, ok?
Now... yes, I´m gone... see you soon!
Best wishes,
Leda

This is my favourite song...

The glory of love by Peter Cetera

Tonight its very clear
As were both lying here
Theres so many things I want to say
I will always love you
I would never leave you alone

Sometimes I just forget
Say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I dont wanna lose you
I could never make it alone

I am a man who will fight for your honor
Ill be the hero youre dreaming of
Well live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love

Youll keep me standing tall
Youll help me through it all
Im always strong when youre beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone

I am a man who will fight for your honor
Ill be the hero youve been dreaming of
Well live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love

Just like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away

I am a man who will fight for your honor
Ill be the hero youre dreaming of
Were gonna live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love

Well live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love

We did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love...

The activity for Tuesday 31 March...

to read and translate the plot (argumento) of the play "Cleopatra":

Before dying, Pharaoh Ptolemy, the King of Egypt, hands the
Sacred Key to Cleopatra, his young daughter. This key is
very special as it unlocks the secret chamber in the Temple
and the person who possesses it is the rightful king or queen.
This causes a deep resentment in Cleopatra’s sister,
Arsinoe, who feels she should have been the one to receive the
Sacred Key, and so starts planning how to get hold of it.
Bored and tired of her life within the palace walls, one day
Cleopatra decides to go out. She wants to see the real world
and it’s people, and she is clever enough to pass unnoticed by
Arsinoe. It is then that Cleopatra meets Bek and becomes
his friend. Bek is just a working boy but Cleopatra shares
with him the simplest but most beautiful things of life.
At the palace, Arsinoe convinces Appi, one of the servants,
to pass himself off as Juba, the King of Numidia. Arsinoe
plans to marry Cleopatra to this fake king. By law, Cleopatra
has to give the Sacred Key to her husband, so Arsinoe and
Appi sign an agreement which forces him to hand the key
over to Arsinoe in exchange for turning him into a king.
Arsinoe tricks Cleopatra into believing that her nation is in
desperate need of food supplies, and that there is only one
way to save the people from starvation: King Juba has
offered to send the food Egypt needs, but only if Cleopatra
marries him. Cleopatra is filled with deep sorrow because
if she marries King Juba she will not see Bek again.
In the end, in order to save her people, she decides to put
her personal life aside and marry Juba. Arsinoe and Appi
celebrate in advance the success of their plan and make
the arrangements for the wedding.
But in the fantastic and mysterious Egyptian world,
surprises still await...
Good luck!!
With love,
Leda
