Hi Mª José!
How are you? I hope you are spending a nice summer break.
Thank you for your reading suggestions. Personally I could read "A love for life" last July, during my holidays in Almería. And I also read "Othello" during the last term of the course. I really like both books although they are very different.
On the one hand I think "Othello" is an interesting and easy to read adaptation of the great classic of Shakespeare, full of passion and dramatism, jelousy and betrayal. I remember it was a very exciting reading.
On the other hand, in my opinion, "A love for life" is a very nice story about human relationships, where I could find very good expresions and vocabulary to describe situations, feelings and emotions, which I didn't know before.
Actually, If I have to choose one of them I think I couldn't... I would choose both of them, because I find them as complementary readings :-)
Well, I just wanted to wish you good luck and a good start of the new course, which will be full of new challenges for all, won't it?
But as Almudena Grandes wrote once: " Happiness is a way to resist"
Thank you teacher.
Thanks a lot, Isabel, for your wonderful comments on those summer readers. BTW I believe reading is the key to keep improving English.
Personally, I had a quiet summer half working and half chilling out ;-)
All the best in your next course!!
