Suggested readers

Dear NI1 students,

As some of you have asked, I'll suggest a few books for you to read during this summer:
 UNABRIDGED:
  •  The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas by Tom Boyne (unabridged)
  •  The curious incident of the dog in the night time (unabridged). Mark Haddon
I hope you enjoy these readings. If you read any of these, don't forget to drop you opinion about it. Other students may want to read them as well!

    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!!
