Do you like a good story?  How about writing one? In English?

If you write a story over the summer holidays and send it to us, you could win a prize.

This year the prize money  has gone up to 40€ in a gift token to spend on books, cds, games - whatever you want.

Please let us know the name of your school too when you send it as they deserve a mention too!

Then you will be invited to attend the prize giving  in style at
El Salón de Actos Biblioteca Central San Sebastián de los Reyes,
where we will announce the winners.

All the contestants read their stories in front of the audience  and it is a memorable occasion.

Ready? Steady? Go!

LITERATURE

On Tuesday the 10th we have our last reading at the library for this school year.

We have chosen  Gravel, a story by the Canadian writer and Nobel Prize winner
ALICE MUNRO.

Join us  if you want to polish up your English. It is a fascinating story too.

This is a gravel pit like the one beside the trailer home in the story.

TALKING GROUP

John Harrison (3 April 1693– 24 March 1776) was a self-educated English carpenter and clockmaker. He invented the marine chronometer, a long-sought after device for solving the problem of establishing the East-West position or longitude of a ship at sea, thus revolutionising and extending the possibility of safe long-distance sea travel in the Age of Sail. The problem was considered so intractable, and following the Scilly naval disaster of 1707 so important, that the British Parliament offered the Longitude prize of £20,000 (comparable to £2.66 million/$4.48 million US in modern currency) for the solution.
Harrison came 39th in the BBC's 2002 public poll of the 100 Greatest Britons.

Hi folks,


This time we have an interesting article from the International  press sent to us by our colleague Luis.
Read it and see what you think.
In Britain the government challenges entrepreneurs to solve  a major world problem offering a huge reward. Such a prize is a great motivation.


Or is it?
What do you think?
