A CRUISE SUNK IN

COSTA CONCORDIA

vests — and have a guide line to open water, just

as they do when exploring caves.

There are some victims in

Concordia's disaster and the students

are worried.

The Costa Concordia cruise ship ran

aground off the west coast of Italy, at

Giglio Island on Friday.

Italian cave-rescue divers are

painstakingly checking thousands of

debris-filled cabins on the Italian liner

Monday for more than 20 people still

unaccounted for out of the 4,200 who

were on board.

Worsening weather and heavy seas

earlier made the wreck slip on the rocky

underwater slope where it is lodged off

the island of Giglio and rescue teams

were evacuated. But they returned to

work after several hours. Eleven bodies

have been found so far.

The divers wear wetsuits reinforced

with Kevlar — the same material used

to make bullet-proof

Due to the fact that many students are

going on a trip to Italy next month,

they are worried about it as we are

going to Italy on boat.

EARTHQUAKES scale liberate?

Every year there are hundreds of

earthquakes in the world. Some of them

are very slight, others have material

damages, and others even provoke

thousands of deaths, such as the

earthquake that last year took place in

Japan.

This made us think a lot about it and we

decided to write this article so that people

know how to react if there is an eartquake

near them.

What is an earthquake? It is a tremor on land caused by the

colission of the tectonic plates. It is

measured with the Ritcher scale.

To know more about earthquakes we are

going to raise some questions:

1.Has the number of earthquakes been

constant along the history?

It has been constant but the number of

deaths has been raising because there are

more building.Nowadays it is more

dangerous because they can fall down.

2.Which are the consequences of the

earthquakes?Are they all the same in

all the countries?

The earthquakes have economic

consequences: they destroy a lot of

buildings and they also have social

consequences: a lot of people die because

of them when the eartquake is very strong.

Earthquakes aren't the same in all the

countries because it depends on the

development of each country.

3.Are there any earthquakes in others

planets?

Yes, In Mars there was an intense

earthquake and we know that in the Moon

there are lots of them but with slight

intensity.

4.How much energy does an

earthquake of nine degrees in Richer

The energy it liberates is compared with

25 000 atomic bombs.

What can you do if there is a

earthquake near you?

- If the tremor is slight,don't panic, it will

finish quickly

- If the tremor is bigger, look for a heavy

structure and stay under it

- If you are inside a building, don't go out,

because it will be more dangerous

- If you are outside look for an open place

and move away from glasses, buildings or

electricity cables.

Conclusion

There are some ways to predict

eartquakes but they aren't very reliable, so

the only thing you can do is to react with

the advises just given before.

Material consequences of an earthquake.

CONOCIÉNDONOS de la democracia en España es algo que

Hola a todos. Somos Laura y Cristina de

1º BC A. Queríamos presentaros nuestra

sección para esta nueva y revolucionaria

revista que estamos realizando en nuestra

clase.

“Conociéndonos” es una sección dedicada

a saber un poco más del entorno de éste

nuestro centro. Esta revista es bilingüe,

por lo que algunas de las entrevistas

también lo serán. Con esto queremos

acercaros un poco más a aspectos que no

son tan cercanos y familiares.

Para empezar, lo haremos con una

profesora que ha aportado mucho a este

instituto durante un largo período de

tiempo. Se trata de Doña Gloria Viedma,

profesora de Historia y una gran persona.

Entrevistadora

s- Buenos días profesora, le

agradecemos mucho que haya

accedido a nuestra entrevista, y

queríamos comenzar

preguntándole, ¿qué fue lo que le

impulsó a estudiar esa carrera?

Profesora- Me impulsó que estaba

estudiando en Sevilla y me sentí atraída

por esa carrera, porque siempre me ha

gustado conocer sobre las civilizaciones

antiguas.

E- ¿Qué destacaría de su trabajo?

P- Destacaría sobre todo la relación con

los alumnos ya que al tener contacto con

la gente joven hace que tú también te

sientas más joven y que estemos más de

acuerdo con la realidad en la que vives.

E- Como profesora de historia que es, ¿en

qué época histórica le gustaría vivir?

P- Me gustaría vivir en la que vivimos

pero tengo que decir que he vivido en

una época muy buena que ha sido la

etapa de la transición política; la muerte

de Franco y la consolidación

debería haber vivido todo el mundo para

que después se pueda valorar la

democracia.

E- Si no fuera profesora, ¿a qué se

dedicaría?

P- Pues me hubiera gustado ser

senadora, porque los senadores tienen

un trabajo complementario del

Congreso, viven bien. También es verdad

que ahora me hubiera gustado ser

parlamentaria europea porque me gusta

mucho viajar.

E- ¿Qué es lo que más destacaría de sus

compañeros?

P- De ellos creo que el ambiente de

compañerismo que hay y sobre todo la

amistad que tengo con algunas

compañeras; la verdad es que es una

relación muy especial.

E- ¿Qué países ha visitado?

P- Todos los años hago por lo menos dos

viajes al extranjero. Conozco Europa

casi entera. Este verano he estado en

Polonia, República Checa, Londres,

París y Nueva York, que es la ciudad que

más me ha impactado. También he

estado en Egipto que también me ha

impresionado mucho aunque para vivir

yo me quedaría en España porque la

calidad de vida es mucho mejor. Además

también he estado en Noruega, que es el

país que más ha impresionado a mi

marido. E- ¿Qué culturas antiguas son las que más

le gustan?

P- La egipcia y la griega. La griega por

la trascendencia que ha tenido hasta

nuestros días. Las pirámides son

preciosas e importantísimas pero no han

tenido la trascendencia que ha tenido el

arte y la cultura griega.

E- ¿Qué proyectos le gustaría emprender

en un futuro?

P- Como voy a cambiar de vida pronto,

pienso que voy a vivir tranquila y a viajar

un poco más, visitar a mi hijo siempre

que pueda y creo que también me voy a

apuntar a un gimnasio. E- Profesora, muchísimas gracias por

haber colaborado con nosotras en este

proyecto, esperamos que le haya gustado

y que le vaya bien en el futuro.

Hola otra vez, esperamos que disfrutarais

de la entrega anterior. Volvemos de nuevo,

pero ahora es el turno de Don Cristóbal

Beltrán, profesor de Lengua y Literatura,

secretario de nuestro centro docente y

además alguien a quien tenemos mucho

aprecio.

Entrevistadoras- Hola don Cristóbal,

estamos aquí para hacerle una entrevista

como secretario de este centro para

nuestra revista BiliNews, lo primero que

queremos preguntarle es qué diría usted

que es lo mejor de su trabajo.

Profesor- Pues creo que lo mejor es el

contacto con los alumnos, sin duda es lo

más interesante.

E- ¿Y lo peor?

P- Lo peor también es eso porque

vosotros los alumnos siempre tenéis la

misma edad, aunque vayáis cumpliendo

años, al siguiente curso vendrá una

promoción que tendrá otra vez los

mismos y no envejecéis como alumnado,

sin embargo, los profesores vamos

cumpliendo años y sí, vamos

envejeciendo. Por otra parte, daros una

educación y unas normas de

comportamiento también cansa mucho.

Por esto, el contacto con los alumnos es

lo mejor y lo peor.

E- ¿Le resulta fácil compaginar la vida

personal con la laboral?

P- Si dijera que no, creo que sería injusto

porque aunque a veces cuesta trabajo, yo

me considero un privilegiado porque yo

trabajo por las mañanas y por la tarde

tengo que preparar clases y más cosas,

pero cuando pienso en otra gente que

tiene trabajos de muchas más horas y un

horario más difícil, pienso que soy un

privilegiado.

E- ¿En qué época del año tiene usted más

trabajo?

P- Para el cargo que yo estoy

desempeñando ahora de administrativo,

de secretario, los meses más difíciles son

septiembre y junio por el tema de

matrículas, evaluaciones, exámenes y

demás.

E- ¿Qué es lo que usted mejoraría del

centro?

P- Principalmente la convivencia entre

los alumnos, entre profesores y alumnos

incluso entre profesores y profesores. Es

verdad que en este centro hay pocos

problemas, pero la gente se queja mucho

y hay bastantes destrozos.

E- ¿Cuáles son sus aficiones?

P- Me gusta mucho montar en bicicleta,

antes montaba más, pero aun así cuando

tengo un rato libre, la cojo y me voy por

aquí cerquita. Por otra parte, tengo las

aficiones normales, leer... aunque debo

decir que no leo mucho, sobre todo suelo

leer los clásicos, pero la literatura

moderna no la leo, me da pereza.

E- Cuando era pequeño, ¿qué quería ser

de mayor?

P- Yo quería ser conductor de camiones,

como mi padre. Pero claro, él no me

dejaba, mis

padres me iban orientando, querían algo

más para mí, que yo fuera más que ellos

y veían que estudiando iba a llegar a más

y me orientaron hacia el estudio.

Después de eso, vi que los estudios se me

daban muy mal, me gustaría saber

matemáticas, pero lo que mejor se me

daban eran las letras. A pesar de eso,

todavía me gustaría ser camionero.

E- ¿A qué le gustaría dedicarle más

tiempo?

P- Al deporte por ejemplo. Madrugo

mucho y algunas veces voy a correr antes

de venir al instituto y otras veces vengo

en chándal porque cuando se acaban las

horas que tengo que echar aquí y salgo,

cojo la bici y me voy a dar un vuelta.

Otra cosa a la que me gustaría dedicarle

más tiempo es a viajar.

E- ¿En qué otros países ha estado?

P- Pues he estado en Bélgica viviendo

una temporada, también he viajado por

Marruecos

en mi Dos Caballos; volviendo a Europa

he estado en Francia, Alemania, Austria,

Hungría y Eslovaquia. No se puede decir

que los haya visitado, sino que

últimamente vamos en verano con la

bicicleta a hacer un circuito que recorre

el sur del Danubio, por esa razón he

visitado tantos países.

E- ¿En qué consiste su trabajo como

secretario?

P- Pues se puede decir que yo soy el

portero de la finca. Procurar que las

cosas estén bien, procurar que la

calefacción funcione, que haya cañones

en las clases y que funcionen... Todo eso

en el día a día, pero también es todo lo

que tiene que ver con el centro, con las

actas, es el encargado del personal no

docente, el que trata con los conserjes,

administrativos; toda la parte

administrativa la lleva el secretario

E- Bueno don Cristóbal, ya hemos

terminado la entrevista. Muchas gracias

por atendernos y responder a estas

preguntas.

CINEMA Cinema's trends:

Impresionism: This style focus on

naturalism.It has some direct style and

goes further than melodramatic schemes.

Some of the most important authors are:

Herni Ghomette and Marcel L'Herbier.

The most representative movie is ''The

wheel'' (1922) by Abel Gance.

Surrealism: Absurd images that break

logic predominate. Two important movies

are: ''Un perro Andaluz''(1929) and ''La

edad de oro'' (1930), by Luis Buñuel.

Expresionist German cinema:(1905)

Some productions that showed the

subjective over the objective perspective.

It was in Weimar's Germany and it gave

more importance to the expresion of

emotions. One important movie is ''The

cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919).

What is cinema like now?

A lot of things have changed in cinema

since its beginning. The most important

one is the appereance of the sound and

colour. Another relevant change is the

amazing developement of special effects

and something that day by day is getting

more importance: The use of the

computers on the cinema.

Did you know...?

...That the first sound movie was ''The

Jazz Singer''?

...The most expensive movie in history is

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End''?

...EEUU produces between 600 and 800

films every year?
