Famous people

Hello everybody.

In this unit we are studying the past simple tense and we are talking about famous people. I have a proposal: let's make a biography of a famous person.

You can choose a sports star, a musician, a film star, an explorer, an artist, etc...

This is an example of a biography of a famous person done by secondary school student's:





What you have to do is to think about your star, look for information about him or her, and write a short biography.

Don't llok for the information in English and try to copy it. I will notice it and you will fail. Find information in your own language and translate it into English. And don't forget to use the dictionary.

Good luck!!

And here I give you a tip. You can listen to this beautiful song while you work on the writing.

Castaway

One of the most famous castaways of cinema's history is Tom Hanks. He's the main character of Cast Away, a great movie from 2000. Tom Hanks obtained the Oscar for that role.

Here you've got a trailer from that film:





Cast Away had a lot of success. Even Fed-Ex, an important American messenger company, made a funny advertisement joking about that movie. Have a look!





Funny, isn't it?

When you are a castaway, if you want to be saved, you can send a message to the rest of the world. You can, for example, send a message in a bottle. The group The Police, from England, wrote a song called Message in a bottle . Listen to the song and read the lyrics.





Now imagine that you're lost in a desert island and you write a message in a bottle. You can use the letter in your book as a guide.

Good luck!

Hi Josep,

I'm on holiday here in London with my parents and my brother Adam. It's always raining here, so we always have to take the unbrella with us.

At the moment we I'm sitting in an Internet café with my brother and we're eating a sandwich. My mum is shopping next to the café and my father is visiting the Tate Gallery. He really likes art.

Tomorrow we're visiting the London Eye and Westminster Abbey.
