BBC 6 MINUTES ENGLISH The Soothing Power of Books

Friday 10th September.

Hi guys!

This is our work for next week, together with the listening activity on WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS SAY you have already worked out but we haven’t had the time to check together.

Remember YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAND THIS IN, JUST GATHER AS MUCH INFO AS YOU CAN and BE READY to talk about it in class on WEDNESDAY.   

BBC 6 MINUTES ENGLISH: THE SOOTHING POWER OF BOOKS.

Listen to Georgina and Neil talking about an interesting topic which is closely related to our work: BOOKS AND READING, and even THEIR THERAPEUTIC POWER.

A couple of ideas to guide you:

• What do you know about the writers mentioned at the beginning of the programme, RUTH RENDELL and AGATHA CHRISTIE?

• FIND OUT: What is the best-selling book of all time:

a) HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE by JK Rowling?

b) A TALE OF TWO CITIES by Charles Dickens?

c) DON QUIXOTE by Miguel de Cervantes? 

• WHAT DO THE EXPERTS SAY about BIBLIOTHERAPY?

HAPPY WEEKEND for now!

XOXO
