Hello again!
This weekend many countries celebrate Saint Valentine. Generally speaking, many people say that this is not part of our tradition and that it is just a celebration to spend money. Be as it may, I attach here an article about the history of Saint Valentine for you to read.

What do you think about the things they explain in this article?
And here is the video we watched the other day in class. Watch it and try to answer the following questions:
1) Who are the people in the story?
2) What's the relationship between them?
3) What does she think about him?
4) What does he think about her?
5) What is the story about?
6) How do you feel about the film? Would you recommend it? Why / Why not?
7) Write a brief summary of this story (100 words)
Remember that to answer the questions you must go to "comentarios", click there and write, ok?
Oh, by the way, and for those of you who feel like going to the cinema and watch a romantic comedy these days, what about "Valentine's Day"? Here is the trailer for you to have a look at and decide whether you want to spend the evening watching it or not...
And now the same clip but with Spanish subtitles. Did you understand the same when you watched it without subtitles? Now it's your time to check... By the way, there is a mistranslation in the final part of the clip. Can you find it? Do you think it has been done on purpose, i.e. as an act of censorship?
Well, and that's all. Happy Saint Valentine to all of you!
