Books I used to read when I was a teen...


One of my favourites was Reunion (Reencuentro in Spanish), by Fred Uhlman. I strongly recommend it.
Outsiders (Rebeldes in Spanish), by Susan E. Hinton is a book I'll never forget. It was a present for my 15th birthday and I still have it!
The first book I read in only one day was Love Story, by Erich Segal. If you like love stories, you shouldn't miss this one! And make sure you have a box of Kleenex handy!

  4. hi! I won't recommend a book because I think everybody will do that so I'll talk about a magazine:
    It's called "Speak up" and it has a lot of news of different topics and it's usefull for people who are learning english (like us)
    So I suggest that magazine beacuse it's a good way to learn english and it's not boring.

  5. Hi! I would like to recommend "El niño que podía volar". It´s too short and childlike because I read it when I was ten years. It is the only book that I have read voluntarily

  6. Hi teacher :D
    Other teachers are on the red LOL

    Well, I want to suggest two books, they are both about the same topic, girls in a 'internado'
    The first it's << Torres Malory >>. I recommend this book because my aunt gave me when i was 10 or 11 years old and I LOVE IT
    The second, it's << Las gemelas en Santa Clara >>. This is about two spoiled twins, who doesn't like the 'internado' and finally, they don't want to go to the university.
    Both books are more than one, so, if you want to see all of them, they are a book with all the adventures of Torres Malory, and the same with Santa Clara.
    I hope you like :D
    And...
    Happy Christmas :D

  7. Hi everyone! Well, if I had to recommend just one book, i'd probably say "El retrato de Carlota". My aunt gave it to me when I started at the high school and I really love it! I have read it many times because it is amusing and it's about love too... It is located in Venice and the main character is an spanish girl, so you can feel indentified with her.
    I enjoyed it and I hope you do it too.

  11. Hello Teacher!
    First that everything
    I hope that you are enjoying the holidays ;)
    and Merry Christmas !!

    My book is the sting of the devil ( El aguijón del diablo) of Ricardo Alcántara.
    Collection Alandar, editorial Edelvives.

    I recommend this book because I believe that this interesting for people of our age since the book speaks about a boy that his name is Gustavo, He begins to enter the world of the drugs this him causes many problems specially to his Family.
    The book is very realistic for the Teenagers because it explains the serious problems of the drugs to our ages. Many boys or girls destroy his life for beginning a new life with the devil ...

    If someone wants to read this book I can give it =]

    Bye

  13. My favorite book is The mechanics of the heart of MATHIAS MALZIEU and recommend it because it's a child at birth they put a cuckoo clock as the heart so that he could survive. The downside of this heart is not to fall in love and falls for a Andalusian green eyes that haunt in search of love.
    MERRY CHRISTMAS TEACHER ! ^^ :)

  15. Hello teacher

    September is a zombie horror book I like.(Septiembre Zombie)
    A brief summary: In less than twenty-four hours, the disease destroys the human population. Billions have died, hundreds die every second without notice.
    Victims suffer an infection of the violent and painful agony. Few people survive. But people who survive the end of the first day will also want to be dead, because the disease spreads and the real nightmare begins.

    Bye
    Happy Christmas and New Year (:!

  18. Hi professor. First of all, happy new year.

    I have read few books, if I had to recommend one would certainly "I have wanted to You " (Tengo ganas de ti) by Federico Moccia.
    It is the second part of "Three meters above the sky. "(Tres metros sobre el cielo). It talks about love. The character falls in love with a person and is impossible to forget.

    I recommend this book because love is something that we all come from one moment to another.

    reporter writes a story about Luci. Loreto is a friend of Luci with a
    problem of bulimia. Poli was the camel that sold the drug, he learns
    they're going after him, and tries to get rid of the drug, but his boss did not
    leaves. Luci's friends and keep track of Poli and leads them to a
    nightclub, police also goes. Poli is set to escape, he stumbles and falls
    breaking his neck. Cop dies.

    The Luci willpower and support from family and friends brings out
    coma.

    Throughout the novel Luci is playing a game of chess against
    death, which ultimately manages to win and awakening.

  20. Hi teacher.
    I have read many books and those that more I like are those of true stories. There is one that I have liked very much " The silence of the innocence " by Somaly Mam. The authoress is the protagonist of history. In her all since from small she has been a slave and of several families, and account as pipe that to initiate the prostitution from few age forced by a gentleman, who was like his family. Then it explains since it was his fight to go out of this life and as to achieved, after a hard battle, to do an association for women and girls who have met submitted to the same life that she, but thanks to his achievement to could liberate to many girls and teenagers. It is a very nice book that shows us the reality.

  21. Hohoho. Es la primera vez que entro al blog y estoy más perdida que un pulpo en un garaje.

    Vamoavéh. Pues si tuviera que recomendar a alguien de mi edad lecturas interesantes, le hablaría de casi todas las que he leído, pero como la cuestión es proponer algo que enganche, comentaré el libro "Química Perfecta".

    Digamos que es la típica historia de amor entre adolescente, que a ver, será típica, pero engancha, y el que diga que no... ¡MIENTE! XD. La cosa es que en este libro se aprecian muchos problemas y situaciones por las que pasamos los adolescentes actualmente. Se observa la discriminación entre clases sociales y la realidad de lo que en cada una de ellas se vive. No es que vaya de eso exactamente el libro, pero por ahí tira también.

    Y nada, que está muy bien, MUY ENTRETENIDITO (Jé), que usa un vocabulario chachi, acorde que el que nosotros solemos usar (pero con menos palabrotas), MIND YOUR VOCABULARY, GUYS! y eso, queso, a leer.

  22. I forgot I had to write in English...

    Well. I recommend you "Química Perfecta". Why? Because I know you'll like it. This book speaks about a teenager's love, about social class discrimination and problems and situations that happen to teenagers today. It's fun because it uses a vocabulary like ours and speak about real things.

    You should read it, read is great!

  25. Hello teacher!!

    I read some books and I liked all but I recommend "Dear Nobody" (Querido Nadie) by Berlie Doherty (Is about a pregnant teenager who wanted to go university but she couldn't because she had a son to care) and "Three meters above the sky" by Federico Moccia, both is about a teenagers so it is ideal for our age.

    Bye :D
