TASK 10: 
GIVEN on 24/04/15
DEADLINE: 30/04/15 
INSTRUCTIONS:

A. ANSWER the following questions expressing your opinion in as full as possible:

The situation we are considering is the possibility that people stay at home but can interact with the world outside through a 'surrogate' :
1. How would people be affected by it?
2. How would society, at large, be affected by it?
3. Do you think real people and machines (surrogates) could be together at work, having fun, etc.?

I think that people are afeccted by it because, for a person, can´t be healthy staying all day in a bed connected to a machine. We are made to live life naturally. I think that it may cause disorders and produce health problems, for example obesity.

Otherwise, I think humans can coexist whit surrogates because after all they are controlled by the humans. But in this film, I have observed that the surrogates have a small hatred towards the people who aren't surrogates.

B. WRITE a summary of the film as we watch it:

In this film, people live their lives by remote control throught  more attractives surrogates .
A human kills the surrogate's creator's son because he thinks that it was his father because he was using his surrogate. He shatters not only  the surrogate but kills the person that controls them because it uses a machine that ha a very strong electricity.
Greer, the FBI agent, risks his life to solve the mystery and his surrogate ends up broken.
At the end, all surrogates end up broken and the humans return to normal life.

TASK 9:GIVEN on 18/02/15
DEADLINE: 20/02/15 
INSTRUCTIONS:  Francesca Johnson and Robert Kincaid were involved in a very intense love affair that lasted 4 days in August 1965. The effects of their short relationship, however, stayed very much alive inside them for the rest of their lives. Robert Kincaid referred to their love as 'the kind of certainty that one only knows once in many lifetimes'.

Francesca could have gone away with Robert. She almost did but resisted her natural impulse thinking how much their children and husband would hurt. She put her family responsability before her once-in-a-lifetime love.

Was she right to do so? COMMENT, please:

I think that Francesca´s decision was the correct because her daughter and son are more important than a men that she has only know for four days, althougt he was her true love. If I was her, first I  would have left my husbad and then I would have started a relationship with the man that I really love. I think that if she'd have done that, she wouldn't have fallen in love with her husband but I can understand  because If a person has a lasting relationchip with the same person, the love can change.

It is a very beautiful site with a beach and many restaurants and Bars where the food is wonderfull and where it's very comfortable to drink a beer there. Along the seafront I can see the beach bars and the people walking with the good weather.

When I go there, I feel free, it conveys a lot of peace and quiet, and in summer, for me, the beaches are the best of Málaga, They are much cleaner. I love to go to the breakswaters, I sit there and I listen music. It's very relaxing.

GIVEN on 08/01/15

DEADLINE: 11/01/15 

INSTRUCTIONS: Following the activity done in class, WRITE a letter to Virginia answering her dubts about the existence of the Three Kings.

DEFENSOR DEL LECTOR 

Dear Virginia,

This is the "Defensor del lector". Concerning your doubts about the Three Kings, this is what I have to say: I think that if they´ve said to you that the Three Kings are subrealistics, you can choose to believe them or not, but my advice is: You are very little girl, and if you like Christmas, believe in the three wise men, Chritsmas is more beautifull and exciting if you believe in him. In a future, you will understand me.

Kisses!
