WHAT ABOUT READING?

In summer you have extra time. It's good to relax, to play computer games, do some sport... and why not reading? You can read in the beach or in the swimming pool or inside your house with the air conditioner if you don't like the sun! Apart from reading in Spanish, try to read soemthing in English as well. Here comes my recommendation:

"Braveheart", Penguin readers, Level 3.

Braveheart tells the story of Willian Wallace, a Scottish hero who in the year 1280 fought against the English for the Scottish independence. The book narrates his life, so you will find war, love, history and adventure.

After reading the book you can try to watch the film. It was broadcast in 1995 and it was a big success (one of my favourite films, as well).

And after this, if you want to know more about this story try to answer these questions on the Internet about the film:

• Write a summary of the plot (story in a film)?
• Who was the director and the main actor?
• An inaccuracy in a film is when something is not completely correct or exact. Write at least 2 inaccuracies in Braveheart.
• Who is the actress that plays Princess Isabelle?
• How much money did the film make worldwide?
• How many Oscars did it win? Name them.
• The word braveheart is a compound word: brave-heart. What's the meaning of the word? Use the dictionary.
