Cinebaix

I suppose most of the people who are in class, are living in the Baix Llobregat. Perhaps, dear colleagues, you are into cinema. If it is your situation, you need to know Cinemabaix .http://www.cinebaix.com/.

Cinemabaix is in Sant Feliu de Llobregat. Years ago, it was Cine Guinart. It was closed because the owner had financial problems. Time after, some cinema lovers decided to try to reopen it. They managed the town hold paid the rent for the building. It recuperated two jobs: the doorkeeper, Sebastià, a man who recommends the films when you go into the cinema, and the engine driver. But, all the other jobs are doing by volunteers: from choosing the films to cleaning.

The programming is very interesting. It’s possible to see films, one or two weeks after the première in Barcelona. They project films in catalan, they organise cycles, and the first Friday every month, there is a special session with debate. And the most important, from time to time it’s also possible to see original versions. (Very interesting for English students.)

The price is cheaper than Barcelona. It cost 5.5 euros, but if you are member, you only pay 4.5 euros, and you don’t pay for cycles.

I’m very into, but it’s necessary more people go in. People, please, come on!. This kind of initiatives is interesting from itself, and it offers a social service. Do you agree?

I forgot it: If you need to take the car, you can park any time at the rail station.

Alcañiz
....

A big hailstorm

I’ve never lived a “natural disaster” directly, but I’ve seen his effects.

I often go to Alcañiz, a town where may mother, my sister, her husband and their three sons live.

Two years ago, more o less, during the spring, there was a big storm, a big hailstorm. The ice balls were as big as a billiard balls, and they were fallen during thirty minutes. Can you imagine? The result was horrible: blind and glasses of the windows and balconies broken, cars dented, branches of the trees cracked… and all the roof tiles destroyed, triturated to be exactly.

I visited my family two weeks later and, when I was arriving I could see a very different landscape. The urban area was empty of cranes, like a big iron trees between the houses. I had an estrange sensation.

These cranes had been brought from around the country. Many people earned a lot of money because, all the people needed to arrange their roofs as quickly as possible and the price of works went up very quickly.

When I came back, one month later, the cranes have disappeared, bat the estrange sensation remained. What is wrong now? , I asked me? I stopped my card and I looked at the town attentively. Finally, I noticed what happened: all the roofs were new. It seemed like a picture, a bad and unreal picture.

Little by little, people have gone recuperated their normal live. Nevertheless, when the sky gets grey, many people look at it and start to pray.

Natural disaster?

What are the“natural disasters”? Are the” natural phenomenons”, disasters?
“Natural disasters” is an expression not too much correct, in my opinion. When we use it, we refer to the nature like some bad. The nature exists and reacts. The problem is when people are in the middle on phenomenon.
What do you think about it?

Women second part

Dear English class colleagues :

Tanks for your messages. In general, I not agree with you, but I undesrtand your ideas. They are normal ideas in this society.
I apologize. In this moment, the "patriarchate" is arriving at his end, and it's very normal, men(in general)and some women resist to the change. I don't worry about it. We are a lot of women, more every day, and some men also, we are hands on projects.
