DIARY OF A WIMPY KID

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a novel in cartoons by Jeff Kinney. The main character is a boy named Gregory who says it is not a diary, only a journal. This novel tells what happens to the protagonist's life for a school year. We know their siblings, parents and friends.

This book narrates anecdotes that happen in his school with classmates with a touch graceful and fun for the reader. Moreover, it's an easy book to read because his vocabulary is not complex, and drawings help to better understand the stories. On the other hand, the novel is very short and can be read very quickly. If you have not got enough time, I think, it is the perfect book. In my opinion, this book is totally different from the rest.

Finally, I would like to recommend it to people because you have a good time. I believe, it will be a good choice and you will not regret.

In Oracle Night Paul Auster takes us into the life of a writer, SidneyOrr, who is recovering from an illness that no one thought would survive. Every morning, his wife Grace , goes to work and he walks around the city. One day he walks into a bookstore, The Paper Palace, where to buy a blue book captivated him. After several months of inactivity, he discovers that the book appeals to re- write.

This work has a structure of kind of Chinese boxes or Russian dolls, where within a story is followed by another and so on, making it original. The tension never slackens, because when it comes to a climax in the life of Sydney Orr, it is in the Bowen , and when not otherwise in the parallel story. And one jumps from one story to another without being able to release the book. This n ovel is told in first person, whose interwoven plot and unexpected twists keep us in suspense, eager to know what new surprise awaits around it. In that book we have a big story of three stories in one, where reality and fiction " homogenized" perfectly. Paul Auster wrote it with competence and brilliance. Against him I have to say that the story of Nick Bowen ( Sidney writes the story, the protagonist) is very poorly resolved (in a somewhat ironic ) and also leaves some questions unresolved in the air. Finally, I would not recommend this book to people because I think some stories are not finished and I expected a different outcome. Although I believe it's an easy book to read and entertaining.

PROFILE JUANBA

Hi !!!

I am 36 years old. I studied chemical engineering at Politecnic University in Valencia. I have a Master in logistics. I´ve been working in a factoy for 9 years, so I am very lucky. I love travelling and doing sports, in fact, that year I ran my first marathon in Valencia. Although football is my real passion. Nowadays I am studing at Official School of Languages to improve my English. Knowing english is very important in order to promote in working life and to move in other countries.

WRITING UNIT 1

Hi Sushant, That sounds music for my ears. I´m very happy that you come to visit me. I´m on holiday next week because I´ve been working very hard for five months and I´m very tired, so I´ll have a week off.

So I can show my city for all day: in the morning, evening and night. There are a lot of things to do, then our time should be well spent. Valencia isn´t a big city but you can find all services that a big city can offer you.

In the last 15 years, there´ve been a lot of changes, now there are new areas such as The City of Arts and Sciences where you can sight seeing Science Museum, "Oceanografic", "Hemisferic".... On the other hand, the new harbor which was rebuilt for America´s Cup. Moreover we go to the city centre where we can find the old town with the building council, the Cathedral, "Miguelete Tower"... These areas are very beautiful and cosmopolitan.

At last, of course, we live the Valencia´s night. It is really vibrant, because there are plenty of restaurants, bars and discos. We can have the typical drink of Valencia: " The Valencia´s Water" is very delicious although it´s an alcoholic beverage. Now I don´t want to tell you more activities that we can do until you are here.

Please tell me when you arrive at station and I´ll come and pick you up.

See you soon.
