Making a fresh start

Hi there! A new school year is about to start at the Official School of Languages in  Torrevieja. And a new level too. This year we are having level  C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages for the very first time.

"The Common European Framework divides learners into three broad divisions that can be divided into six levels:

A Basic User 

A1 Breakthrough or beginner

A2 Waystage or elementary

B Independent User 

B1 Threshold or intermediate

B2 Vantage or upper intermediate

C Proficient User 

C1 Effective Operational Proficiency or advanced

C2 Mastery or proficiency

The CEFR describes what a learner is supposed to be able to do in reading, listening, speaking and writing at each level." (from Wikipedia) 

Orden EDU/3377/2009, de 7 de diciembre, por la que se establecen los currículos y las pruebas correspondientes a los cursos especializados para el perfeccionamiento de competencias en idiomas de niveles C1 y C2 del Consejo de Europa impartidos en las Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas de Ceuta y de Melilla: 
   https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_Nb3d84W0THX0dxaGhrVW9sd3M/edit?usp=sharing

Let's hope that everybody in the group finishes the year being capable of doing everything the Framework establishes for C1 and let's hope they enjoy the lessons and find them useful.

...ONE FLEW EAST, ONE FLEW WEST, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest  is a 1975 drama film directed by Miloš Forman and based on the 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey. The film stars Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher, with William Redfield, and introducing Brad Dourif.
The film was the second to win all five major Academy Awards (Best Picture, Actor in Lead Role, Actress in Lead Role, Director, and Screenplay) following It Happened One Night in 1934, an accomplishment not repeated until 1991 by The Silence of the Lambs.
The film is #20 on the American Film Institute's 100 Years... 100 Movies list. It was shot at Oregon State Hospital in Salem, Oregon, which was also the setting of the novel.
Plot
In 1963 Oregon, Randle Patrick "Mac" McMurphy (Jack Nicholson), a recidivist anti-authoritarian criminal serving a short sentence is transferred to a mental institution for evaluation. Although he does not show any signs of mental illness, he hopes to avoid hard labor and serve the rest of his sentence in a more relaxed hospital environment.
McMurphy's ward is run by Nurse Mildred Ratched (Louise Fletcher), who employs subtle humiliation, unpleasant medical treatments and a mind-numbing daily routine to suppress the patients. McMurphy establishes himself immediately as the leader. McMurphy's and Ratched's battle of wills escalates rapidly.
McMurphy steals a hospital bus, herds his colleagues aboard, stops to pick up Candy (Marya Small), a party girl, and takes the group deep sea fishing on a commandeered boat. He tells them: "You're not nuts, you're fishermen!" and they begin to feel faint stirrings of self-determination.
Soon after, however, McMurphy learns that Ratched and the doctors have the power to keep him committed indefinitely. Sensing a rising tide of insurrection among the group, Ratched tightens her grip on everyone.
The struggle with Ratched takes its toll, and with his release date no longer a certainty, McMurphy plans an escape. (Adapted from Wikipedia)

LIVING IN CLOUD CUCKOO LAND

Reed Warbler feeding a Common Cuckoo chick in a nest.
Brood parasitism
Photograph by Per Harald Olsen

The cuckoo is a bird with a call that sounds like its name.
Most species of cuckoos leave their eggs in the nests of other birds, that's why they are called brood parasites, laying their eggs in the nests of other birds. The cuckoo egg hatches earlier than the host's, and the cuckoo chick grows faster; in most cases the chick evicts the eggs or young of the host species.Cuckoos have evolved various strategies for getting their egg into a host nest. Different species use different strategies based on host defensive strategies. Female cuckoos have evolved secretive and fast laying behaviors, but in some cases, males have been shown to lure host adults away from their nests so that the female can lay her egg in the nest.
(Adapted from Wikipedia)

Listen to David Attenborough giving us some more information about this fascinating species: 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01s6y1h/Tweet_of_the_Day_Cuckoo_Male/

And here you have the transcript in case you want to check some of that information:

“The spring song of the male cuckoo. I'm sure all of us can recognize this bird from its song but how many of us can say that we've actually seen the bird itself. It's perhaps no surprise then that William Wordsworth⁽¹⁾ wrote

             Shall I call the Bird,
          Or but a wandering Voice?
Male cuckoos are indeed great wanderers spending their winters in Africa and their summers in Europe. But it's only very recently, thanks to modern technology, that we've been able to confirm this and scientists have been able to follow a number of cuckoos as they migrate south to the dense equatorial forests of Central Africa.

This will all come as a real surprise to our ancestors who believed that the cuckoo turned into a sparrow hawk in winter. Not perhaps as silly as you might think, given that both birds are grayish in colour and have barred plumage and long tails.
After spending winter in the south, the migratory urge propels  the cuckoos northwards and for many of us the return is a welcome sign that spring is well and truly here. "




⁽¹⁾ William Wordsworth (7 April 1770 – 23 April 1850) was a major English Romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature with the 1798 joint publication Lyrical Ballads.

Last Tuesday, April 23rd, was World Book Day and Saint George's Day. In class we talked about both. We also watched a video where a lovely little girl, Millie , tells us the story of Saint George. Do you know where he was from? Do you know why he had to fight with a dragon? Do you know of any places he is the patron saint of? If you watch the video you will find the answer to some of these questions!
