TV Room

Remember
The first Wednesday and Friday of each month we watch a
popular TV series and talk about it instead of a set topic.


Las Lecturas Compartidas En Inglés 2016







La actividad comenzó en enero de 2012. Desde entonces, nos hemos estado reuniendo una vez al mes, de 19:15 a 21:00 en la Biblioteca Central. 

Se trata de una actividad coordinada entre la Asociación Educativa Oscar Wilde y la Biblioteca Central de San Sebastián De Los Reyes. Durante el primer año leímos extractos en inglés de las obras completas de Oscar Wilde.

En 2015 nos acercamos a autores clásicos de la lengua inglesa cuyas obras han sido llevadas al cine,  Charles Dickens, John Steinbeck, Mark Twain, Truman Capote, Emily Brontë.

Una o dos semanas antes de la reunión, se comunica por correo electrónico a los asistentes cuál es el relato elegido y durante la reunión, lo leemos en voz alta, por turnos. Después de la lectura se intercambian opiniones sobre lo que nos ha sugerido la lectura.

El año 2016 promete ser muy interesante. Vamos a descubrir mucho sobre los autores y su arte. Veremos alguna película relacionada con nuestras lecturas también.
Empezaremos con una fascinante entrevista con el autor de Breakfast at Tiffany's, Truman Capote. La próxima reunión será el martes 9 de febrero a las 19:15h

Here is a blast from the past

St Sebastian's day 20th January is a holiday here in San Sebastián De Los Reyes.
This day maybe twenty years ago the Spice Girls visited Madrid and gave a free concert in front of an important store in Madrid.

 Remember them? Right click below.

BOOKS GALORE

Hi folks,

Another good reason to join this association is because you can come and borrow books all year round.
We have a cupboard full of them in our room in la Universidad Popular of San Sebastián De Los Reyes.
When you are there, you will see that we have a good dvd collection too.

 Not only that, but for your comfort you will soon be able to browse through the list of books drawn up for us by Felisa.  It is very user friendly indeed.

 Check out the space on the right.
