You'll have 1 of the stories. Write a summary of the story. Describe the characters in the story:
How do they look like? How are they?
What's the relationship between them?
How do they feel at the beginning? At the beginning the characters they have different problems and solve them in different ways, but after the crash... the characters change their minds.
How do they react in the story? For example, the story between the policeman and the girl, in their first meet, the police is very strict and he touch the girl and the girl is very angry and she don't want to see him again. But then there's the crash, she is driving when she has an accident and the car burn. Then the polices arrived at the place and is this police who saves her. Then they change completely their minds.
Do they change? Why? Why not? Yes, they change the minds a lot and they became more sensible.
Give your opinion. We think this story is very good to see, how the people change in front of the different situations. With this film we've learned a lot about feelings.
Choose one character in the story. Describe the story using past tenses and expressions: past simple, past continuous, present perfect.

We talk about the story of the blond police, called Tom Hansen. He first works with the other police, but when he touches the girl he wants to work alone because he is a good person and he don't like the comportment of his partner. So he decides to stop working with him and he works alone. One day when he's working he has to stop a car because he is driving at a full speed, but when the man comes out of the car he see that is the black man of the other night witch his partner touches his wife. Hansen tells the fellow officers to leave him with a "harsh warning", as he has no prior history of breaking the law. Cameron drops off Anthony at a sidewalk, gives him back the gun, and tells him that he embarrasses him.

In the end Tom Hansen is in his car with his friend and the friend puts his hand behind his trousers and the police think that he has a gun, so he immediately takes his gun out and shoot him in the head. The black man dies at the moment and then the police see that his friend didn't got any gun he was only taking out a small figure of Saint Cristobal, then the police goes away and leave his friend on the road. So he wasn't that good.

Podcast your story.

SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE!!!



1. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SHAKESPEARE?

William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564; died 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrati ve poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613, where he died three years later.

2. THEATRE AT SHAKESPEARE TIMES: THE GLOBE.

The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare. It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, and was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613. A second Globe Theatre was built on the same site by June 1614 and closed in 1642.
A modern reconstruction of the Globe, named " Shakespeare's Globe", opened in 1997 approximately 230 metres (750 ft) from the site of the original theatre.
