Dear Emmanuel

Put on your best sun glasses, otherwise the light of Truth could burn your watery eyes. Here comes my advice.

For sure you have found very difficult to deal with your own feelings sometimes. So, how hard can it be when we talk about another's? What I mean is that you can´t control that girl's heart. Moreover, if you like the girl sincerely, you won't try to control her a little. As The Waterboys sing: "She tried to hold me/she didn't know/love is letting go". So, accept that she probably don't like you anymore.

However, if I were you, I'd call her in order to know why do you have split up, instead of asking her out. Maybe you both have been separated by a misunderstanding easy to fix up. If that's not the case and there's no way of being together again, don't desperate. Your heart is a sun and it will find another moon to reflect its light on.

Woa! How twee it sounded in the end!

Mm... One moment... Were we talking about being in love or only about having sex?

Moreover, if you like the girl sincerely, you won't try to control her at all. As The Waterboys sing: "She tried to hold me/she didn't know/love is letting go". So, accept that she probably doesn't like you anymore.

However, if I were you, I'd call her in order to know why you have split up, instead of asking her out. Maybe you two have been separated by a misunderstanding easy to fix up.

**The seven ages of man**
(by Alberto Algueró)

Shuttering a dream forever unattainable, the alarm clock sings in the morn, on the new Ikea bedside table, announcing that a new day is born.

With renewed energy he jumps up off the bed, ties the belt of his dressing gown with a lace, "not a knot, as mum to me taught" he says, and for breakfast has coffee, butter and bread . Afterwards, before the shower, a love story begins (As all of you, men, for sure will know) "Here we are: you, me and the five" he thinks, "it is time to come before we go".

Then he goes to work, dressed to kill. And at the bus stop he waits with his usual morning-mates. Empty looks, silence and he feels ill.

Back from work, with a neighbour he comes across, talks, argues, jokes, and puts the world to rigths. A look in his letterbox shows how vain he was, the re's no love letters, only bills, and he sighs.

On his tired eyelids the night falls with cold and black wings. The corridors he walks with a shuffle in his pyjamas dressed, curved under the weight of the day. His only goal is to rest and silence the complaint that his knee, the bad one, brings.

Fortune tellers and tele shopping announce that the end is near. Although he is almost lethargic on the sofa, that thought is clear. Turns off the lights and, blood dried, crawls to the bed, since next day, once more, he will rise from the dead.

Writing, **Unit 4**, workbook
The graph compares the amount of people who voted in 1983 against which did it in 2001, in both cases for the UK parliamentary elections. The voters are separated in six groups, each one reflecting diferent ages.

As can be seen, except for the people older than 64, whose voters were incremented in a tiny percentage in 2001, there was a significant fall of the voter turnout in 2001. The most relevant drop toke place in people between 18 and 34, both included. In that case the lost of voters was slightly higher than a quarter.

On the other hand it is apreciated an increase of the number of voters which grew together with the age, in both years. However, people older than 64 made the exception once again, since their voters broke this upward trend. In that sense, the two first groups together, which include people from 18 to 34, turn to call the atention because of the distance between them and the next group was significant higher than between the other ones, overall in 2001.

To sum up, although the drop of voters in 2001 represented a general shift from 1983, the more younger people is, lower is their interest in participate in the elections.

On the other hand, one may appreciate an increase of the number of voters which runs parallel to age, in both years. However, people older than 64 made the exception once again, since their voters broke this upward trend. In that sense, the first two groups together, which include people from 18 to 34, call our atention again because of the distance between them and the next group was significantly higher than between the other ones, overall in 2001.

To sum up, although the drop of voters in 2001 represented a general shift from 1983, the younger people are, the lower their interest in participating in the elections.

This book is built on several keys which all together define the personality of Paul Auster's work. The most important of them is his passion for literature. In that sense, in Oracle Night, we find to Paul Auster writing in first person a novel where the main character, Sidney Orr, is also a writer who works on a novel the main character of which, Nick Bowen, is an editor whom the destiny brings an important book of which title entitles the Auster's book. This labyrinth of stories inside other stories will immerse us deeper and deeper in the book as we read it. This, botting the limits between reality and fiction, will help us to accompany to a character during its journey to madness. This travel will start when an incident make us consider the Existence as a meaningless realm where luck and fate rule capriciously over us.======

I've never been a great reader, I confess. However, Paul Auster is a writer who has always hooked me. This book is ideal for those of you who enjoy reading and writing. It is particularly interesting when Sidney Orr thinks about how to deal with the creation of the characters of his novel. Also when he talks about the loneliness of the writer and his relationship with reality, where he looks for inspiration. You also will find Oracle Night an existential story, with an atheistic point of view, which shows a cold and void universe where a helpless mankind roams aimlessly to the mercy of the winds of chance and fatality. Besides, it is very easy to be read because, although there are loads of unknown words, the action is generally clear.====== CORRECTIONS AND ASSESSMENT
