Joanna’s visit
Joanna is a seventeen-year old exchange student from Finland.
She came to Argentina in April and is staying here for a year.
She shared a class with us in October and here are some of the
comments our students made about her visit.
Joanna’s visit was fascinating because we could hear her accent
and talk to her. She also told us about her life in Finland so I
enjoyed learning about her culture and customs.
Spending a class with Joanna was great! She is very pretty, funny
and not so different from us. We talked about ourselves and her
experience in BA. I´m glad she likes the city so much. She also
taught us some words in Finnish and Swedish.
I had never met a European girl before or even talked to one, and
it was a really good experience.
We spoke about the differences between the school system in her
country and here. She told us how much she liked nightlife here,
as it was far more exciting than in Finland! She also mentioned
how difficult she found learning Spanish and that she had wanted
to come to a South American Spanish speaking country because
she knew the people were warm and friendly.
We are glad to have had the chance to meet such a nice girl as
Joanna, speaking English to communicate in a real situation.

When writing Finnish names without the Finnish alphabet
available (such as in e-mail addresses), the letters ‘ä’ and ‘ö’ are
usually replaced with ‘a’ and ‘o’, respectively, e.g. Pääkkönen as
Paakkonen. This is not the same, but visually recognizable.

Some Facts about Finnish, Joanna’s Language!!!!
In Finland, a person must have a surname and 1 to 3 first names.
Surnames are usually inherited through the father, while first
names are usually chosen by a person’s parents. Finnish names
come from a variety of traditions that were consolidated only
in the early 20th century. The first national act on names came
into force in 1921, and it made surnames mandatory. Between
1930 and 1985, the Western Finnish tradition whereby a married
woman took her husband’s surname was mandatory. Previously
in Eastern Finland, this was not usually the case.
Finnish first names are often of Biblical origin (e.g.,Jukka from
Greek Johannes), but Finnish and Swedish origins are also common.

STORYTIME
ERIC
Matias Isarrualde
Level IV- Callao
Eric was dead. His wife had signed the burial.
For many days, she tried to understand the reason for
Eric’s death, but she could never find it out.
Eric was a young man; he worked in a supermarket and
every night, when he finished work, he walked to his house.
One night, when he was going back home, he saw somebody
talking to his wife,Andrea, and he thought that it was dangerous.
The man who was talking to Andrea was wearing black
clothes, Eric saw something familiar in the man...
At that moment the man took a gun out of his jacket and
went into the Eric’s house with Andrea.
He didn’t hesitate and ran into the house. When Eric
opened the door, he heard his wife crying in the living
room, so he walked to them slowly.
Eric saw a gun on the table and he took it. Suddenly, a
man appeared behind him and they fought.
Eric heard a gunshot, the man started running. Andrea
saw Eric fall to the floor and, while she was running
towards him, she called the police.
But when Andrea was talking to the police, Eric closed his eyes
forever...

INVICTUS
Invictus is a 2009 film directed by Clint Eastwood.
Morgan Freeman plays the role of Mandela and Matt
Damon is Fracois Pienaar, the captain of the Springboks, the South African rugby team. The film is a look
at the life of Nelson Mandela after the fall of apartheid
in South Africa, during his term as president, when he
campaigned to host the 1995 Rugby World Cup as an
opportunity to unite his people.
The title comes from the fact that Mandela had the
poem written on a scrap of paper in his prison cell while
he was imprisoned for 27 years. In the film, Mandela
gives the “Invictus” poem to his national rugby team’s
captain Francois Pienaar before the start of the Rugby
World Cup.
The film title is based on the following poem:
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

STAR WARS EPISODE III:
REVENGE OF THE SITH
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005) is a
science fiction film. The main stars are Ewan McGregor
(Obi-Wan Kenobi), Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker/
Darth Vader) and Natalie Portman (Padmé Amidala).
The Clone Wars has begun and as a consequence, chancellor Palpatine has been kidnapped by general Grievous,
who is a droid.
Obi-Wan and Anakin are in charge of the mission to
rescue the chancellor and destroy general Grievous.
Although they fail to destroy Grievous, they can finally
rescue Palpatine and kille count Dooku, a Sith Lord.
When Anakin comes back, he finds out that Padmé, his
wife, was pregnant. After that, he begins to have dreams
of Padmé dying at childbirth. Next day the Jedis send
him to spy on Palpatine, as they suspect acts of corruption in the Galactic Senate.
While doing this, he becomes very close to Palpatine,
who always tries to convince him of the benefits of being
a Sith. One of these benefits is to prevent the decease of
anybody. This benefit attracts Anakin, because he thinks
that his dreams will become true.
While this is happening, Obi-Wan has been sent on a
mission to kill general Grievous. He does so, and afterwards Anakin kills master Windu, who had been trying to
kill Palpatine. After that, Darth Sidious orders his Clone
army to attack Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan manages to escape,
but Anakin, who is now a Sith, begins his new life as a
Sidious’s padawan (apprentice).
The film’s special effects are excellent, and the background music is absolutely fantastic. There are some
continuity mistakes in the movie, but you can only realize
if you pay very close attention.
Natalie Portman’s role is not very convincing in the last
part of the film, but otherwise, she plays her part very
well, as the other actors did. The last fight between
Anakin and Obi-Wan is really amazing.
If you liked the other Star Wars films, you will really enjoy
this one. It’s excellent! I recommend it!

Embarrassing Dates!!!!!!!
Here are some funny dates!!! What’s yours????
Level VIII - Flores
My First Date
I was going to study Mechanics at that time. There I met Leandro. He’s
a beautiful boy. He has blonde hair, blue eyes and he is taller than me.
He is friendly, generous… I love him!
Well, when we graduated, we had dinner together and he asked me for
my Facebook username, but I was sad because he had a girlfriend.
Some time later, though, they broke up. She was not a good girlfriend
because she betrayed him, so he finished that relationship.
When I heard the news I was happy!
We sent a lot of e-mails to each other every day. I thought we were
starting something…
Two months later he told me he liked me a lot and that he was in love with me.
Oh!! How can I explain my happiness to you?
On 15th March he asked me to be his girlfriend. We were
happy and I shouted: -“Yes!! I want to be your girlfriend…
I love you”.
Today we are in love, and we are planning our wedding…
We want to have children and a dog.
I think… it will be the best love story ever!
