Soon we'll be talking in class about significant English & American writers and books. Would you like to suggest any? Have you read any classic works of English literature? If you have, what are your favourites?
I'm looking forward to hearing your recommendations!
I think JRR Tolkien would be a great option. I love his books.
ReplyDeleteI think that ancient literatura, it's too complicated
ReplyDeletePerhaps Joseph Conrad´s books or short stories of Agatha Chistrie such as -Poirot- .
ReplyDeleteBesides there are many fantastic books not very big of C.S. Lewis (-Narnia- saga) or J.K. Rowling (-The Tales of Beedle the Bard-) and the most beautiful for me, but very big, -The Name of the Wind- by Patrick Rothfuss.
Ah! And the classic -Alice in Wonderland- of Lewis Carroll.
José Carlos, those are too many! I'm impressed but I'm afraid we don't have time for them all... Pick one!
ReplyDeleteOnly are suggestions hehe
ReplyDeleteOk, I choose -Oliver Twist- of Charles Dickens.
In my opinion, trying to understand The Silmarillion in English would be funnier than Oliver Twist but I like Dickens too.
ReplyDeleteThe Silmarillion likes me too but is very big and complex for the average English level of the classroom, other book more appropiated of JRR Tolkien is -The Hobbit- because his reading is more regular.
ReplyDeleteThe Silmarillion... Are you serious? I haven't even read that one! Sounds reaaaally complex even in Spanish! What if we just talk about Tolkien and his books in general?
ReplyDeleteMark Twain's best novel, "Tom Sawyer", is my suggestion!
ReplyDeleteHi, teacher! My suggestion is 'Oliver Twist' by Charles Dickens. I've read that book when I was 10 years old at my English class on the afternoon. See you tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteDear Elena,
ReplyDeleteOliver Twist is a "tostón"
Guys, you're fun!
ReplyDeleteDear Marcos,
ReplyDeleteCharles Dickens was a inspiration for Mark Twain, considerate the "American Dickens". The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn have many similarities with Oliver Twist. Without "tostón" of Charles Dickens, Tom Sawyer would not have existed as we know it.
But I likes Mark Twain very much too ^^
And... who are you?
ReplyDeleteYes, who are you??????
ReplyDeleteI do not want....
ReplyDeleteteacher know that enters the English test of the military academy NCOs?
ReplyDelete"google translator"
I still tihinking Tolkien is the best and with a few pages of The Silmarillion we would learn a looooooot of vocabulary...
ReplyDeleteI think that Dan Brown is a very good writer and that his best book is The digital Fortress.
ReplyDeleteI have read all his books.
I am Riddler and I am pleased to meet you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rubén, The Digital Fortress or Deception Point maybe are the best options, I have read all his books too (is very controversial in his last book)
Riddler, one of these days I'm going to find out who you really are...
ReplyDeleteThe Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka
ReplyDeleteHi teacher ^^
