DR NO - IAN FLEMING
THE BOOK I HAVE JUST READ:
THE FILMS TRAILER:
I HAVE JUST READ THIS BOOK. I THINK IT IS INTERESTING. IT HAS GOT 16 CHAPTERS AND THERE ARE SOME CHAPTERS DIVIDED IN PARTS IF THE CHAPTER IS A BIT LONGER THAN OTHERS. SO YOU CAN READ IT EASILY. ITS LEVEL IS NUMBER 5: INTERMEDIATE. AND IF YOU WANT TO BUY ITS ISBN IS :1-4050-3009-7. IT CAN BE THE BEST CHOICE FOR THE THREE WISE MEN.
THE BOOK HAS GOT THREE AUDIO CDS AND EXTRA EXERCISES TO CHECK IF YOU HAVE UNDERSTOOD IT PROPERLY.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THIS BOOK WAS ONE OF THE FIRSTS ABOUT JAMES BOND AND I DIDN'T LIKE JAMES BOND'S FILMS ALTHOUGHT I SAW HOW THEY FILM "THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGHT" IN BILBAO.
I LIKED SPECIAL MACHINES, SPECIAL GATCHES THAT AN INVENTOR MADE FOR JAMES BOND, DEADLY WEAPONS, TIME BOMBS, CIGARETTE LIGHTER WITH A LASER RAY, EXPLOSIVE CHEWING GUM... MAYBE, THE PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE WATCHED MANY A-TEAM AND MC-GYVER EPISODES BUT THAT IS ANOTHER SUBJECT.
I'M WATCHING THE FILM BEFORE RETURNING TO JOB, SO I HAVE ALREADY 10 DAYS TO WATCH IT BUT FIRST I WANT TO LISTEN TO THE THREE AUDIO CDS. I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE INTERESTING.
THE AUTHOR, IAN FLEMING, BORN IN MAYFAIR, IN LONDON IN 1908. HE WORKED FOR THE SECRET SERVICE DURING THE WAR AND THAT IS WHY JAMES BOND ADVENTURES ARE SO REAL. HIS COUSIN CHRISTOPHER LEE (SARUMAN - LORD OF THE RING) WORKED IN THE FILM AS DR NO.
BY THE WAY, DO YOU KNOW THAT IAN FLEMING WROTE CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG" TOO, A VERY CURIOUS CHILD NOVEL?
IM GOING TO WRITE A SHORT TEXT ABOUT MODAL VERBS THAT APPEARED IN THE BOOK IN THE BRANCH: "SOME MODAL VERBS".

A REAL CHRISTMAS TALE:
WE ARE IN 1914. THE FIRST WORLD WAR HAS BEGUN. ALL OF THE WORLD'S GREAT POWERS ARE INVOLVED.
ON THE ONE HAND, WE HAVE THE ALLIES OR TRIPLE ENTENTE: ENGLAND, FRANCE AND RUSSIA. ON THE OTHER HAND, WE HAVE GERMANY, AUSTRA-HUNGARY AND ITALY.
THEY ARE FIGHTING SINCE JULY. IN FACT, ALL STARTED WITH THE ASSASSINATION OF THE ARCHDUKE FRANZ FERDINAND OF AUSTRIA WHO WAS GOING TO BE THE NEW KING OF THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN EMPIRE; AND JUST A MONTH LATER THE WAR HAS STARTED WITH THE INVASION OF SERBIA.
DAY IN DAY OUT, DECEMBER HAS ARRIVED. GERMAN AND ENGLISH SOLDIERS ARE FIGHTING KILING EACH OTHERS IN THE COLD BATTLEFIELD. THEY DON'T REMEMBER WHY ARE THEY FIGHTING. SOME SHOOTING WAS HEARD AND A DEAD BODY FELT DOWN TO THE GROUND. NOBODY IS GOING TO BURY IT, JUST SNOW.
SUDDENLY SOME GERMAN SOLDIERS STARTED SINGING CAROLS, WE ARE IN CHRISTMAS EVE. HOME WAS FAR AWAY AND SOME SOLDIERS STARTED LEAVING TRENCHS. THEY HAD A SIGN:
JUST BY ONE DAY WAR IS OVER, TRUCE IS DONE.
SOLDIERS PLAYED FOOTBALL AGAINST THEIR ENEMIES.
THEY TOOK SOME PICTURES. YES, THERE ARE IN BLACK AND WHITE BUT REMEMBER WE ARE IN 1914.
I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW BUT SANTA MANAGED TO ARRIVE TO THE TRENCHS.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PHOTO!, TWO ENEMIES, TAKING A PHOTO.
THEY CELEBRATED CHRISTMAS EVE SINGING, TALKING, SHOWING THEIR RELATIVES PHOTOS, WRITTING BACK TO HOME AND EATTING A SPECIAL DINNER.
AND THEY COULD DO ANOTHER IMPORTATNT THING, THEY BURIED DEAD BODIES AND THEY COULD CURE INJURIED SOLDIERS.
UNFORTUNATELLY, THEY HAD TO CONTINUE WITH THE WAR, A WAR THAT WOULD ENDED IN NOVEMBER 1918, WITH 5.525.000 ALLIES SOLDIERS DEAD AND 4.386.000 GERMAN SOLDIERS DEAD.

AMES ROOM - DR.VILAYANUR RAMACHANDRAN
WE HAD TO READ A READING ABOUT THE SCIENCE OF LAUGHTER. INSTEAD OF THIS, I HAVE FOUND A VIDEO OF THE SAME DOCTOR EXPLAINING AMES ROOM ILLUSION. I THINK IT IS THE SAME OPTICAL ILLUSION THAT WAS USED IN THE FILM "LORD OF THE RING".

LEMURS AND PLUTO ( WHAT A MIX! )
SCIENTISTS HAVE RECENTLY IDENTIFIED A NEW SPECIES OF ANIMAL IN THE RAINFOREST OF BORNEO. THEY HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS CREATURE FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AFTER REPORTS FROM LOCALVILLAGERS, AND SAY IT IS A TYPE OF LEMUR.
LEMURS STARTED DANCING WHEN SCIENTISTS ARRIVED.
SCIENTIST (AGAIN) USING THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE THINK THEY HAVE FOUND TWO NEW MOONS CIRCLING THE PLANET PLUTO. (I HAVE TO ADD THAT NOWADAYS PLUTO IS NOT A PLANET.
ASTRONOMERS HAVE BEEN LOOKING CLOSELY AT PLUTO SINCE 1978 WHEN THEY SPOTTED ITS FIRST MOON. tHE TELESCOPE HAS BEEN WORKING FOR FIFTEEN YEARS, AND HAS PRODUCED MORE THAN 700,000 IMAGES OF THE UNIVERSE.
BUT WHY PLUTO ISN'T A PLANET ANY MORE?
