Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea

Publishers: Penguin Readers

This is a book about a French scientist: Mr Aronnax. He is looking for a big wale, but he founds Captain Nemo and the Nautilus, a submarine. When they are in the submarine, they can’t go out. In the Nautilus they live big adventures, they discover the Atlantis, they find gold under the water, they go under Egypt and they go to the South Pole. But Aronnax, Conseil and Ned Land (Mr.Aronnax’s friends) want to scape of the submarine. They think a plan to scape, and they do it.

 In my opinion this is a nice adventure book because there happens a lot of exciting things.

Jules Verne was a French writer, considered the founder of modern science fiction literature. Predicted with great accuracy in his fantastic tales the appearance of some of the products generated by the technological advances of the twentieth century, such as television, helicopters, submarines or spaceships.

"Castanyada"

Hi! We are Maria, Yunaida and Sara, and now we presented our project about the “Castanyada”.

This is a popular party of Catalunya that is celebrated for All Saints. It consists of a meal that is eaten: Chesnuts, potatoes, condred fruit… The typical drink is “moscatell”, which is variety of while vine. In the English-speaking countries, the “Castanyada” is the same as Halloween, and the children are disguised with scary costumes and they ring the bell in all the houses to get candies. In Catalunya, in the streets, there are the “Castanyeres” and they sell chestnuts… The “Catanyera” is an old woman that wears poor clothes, a winter coat and a headscarf.

There’s a story that tells that the “Castanyada” started at the end of 18^th century.

In our high school, “IES Sant Andreu”, we celebrate, also, the “Castanyada” and we do sport activities, workshops to make “panellets”, workshops to make-up, and others are: a workshop is dancing “Sardanes” that is the typical folk dance of Catalunya, also we drawing comics, playing  and a workshop that is a horror tunnel.

Oxford had more visitors and the city needed hotels, food and other facilities,

so a lot of people work in the tourist industry.

Oxford is a beautiful city. By day people enjoy walking near the green
