I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
If "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run
If "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say [3x]
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York elmaestrojuanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15341182919821826901noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374142240970082214.post-115610931544942792016-04-23T20:26:00.002+02:002016-04-23T20:26:18.125+02:00Economics...If I say bull and bear market, do you understand...?<br />

As you know, this year we're celebrating both Cervantes and Shakespeare's 400th anniversary. Needless to say, the importance of both in world literature is absolutely huge.<br />
<br />
I propose that you go to <a href="http://www.bl.uk/shakespeare" target="_blank">this link</a> and read all the information offered by the British Library. By the way, next time you go to London, I suggest that you go to the British Library and find the exhibition room (to the left), where you'll be able to admire this copy of Shakespeare's First Folio:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwyddZak7TlmJmE7bSGeGkw4Hb4_CrPhSnmAqa6fHTYlG1lJTOHmKrWFTlMZ-UF6ZNBcOlqpmIql9EkcNLQHnPFJp8WKax1sAwYxitgONbEwyLIKGqK0uupEL2pG3B3RXKSxu3kz_pmRE/s1600/shakespeare-first-folio-title-page-introduction.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwyddZak7TlmJmE7bSGeGkw4Hb4_CrPhSnmAqa6fHTYlG1lJTOHmKrWFTlMZ-UF6ZNBcOlqpmIql9EkcNLQHnPFJp8WKax1sAwYxitgONbEwyLIKGqK0uupEL2pG3B3RXKSxu3kz_pmRE/s400/shakespeare-first-folio-title-page-introduction.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
You can also go to this map by Cambridge University Press and discover <a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/uploads.knightlab.com/storymapjs/fde342c428dd3c82aa773d046110fb5c/shakespeares-london/index.html" target="_blank">Shakespeare's London</a>. So next time you go to London, you' won't need a guide ;-)<br />
<br />
I do hope you enjoy it. And remember, as Shakespeare said,<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "droid sans" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "droid sans" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Well, sir, learn to jest in good time;</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "droid sans" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">there's a time for all things.</span><br />
Take care,<br />

<br />
<br />
My dear students,<br />
<br />
Please download this <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B54LeNZ-DtGMaWtrUEdvQzFOaTA/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">pdf</a>, print it, sign it and give it to me in class before Thursday Abril 14th.<br />
<br />
Remember it's a good thing to be recorded as you'll have the benefit of a second opinion. However, you WILL NOT have access to the recordings. They'll be only for the head of the department.<br />
<br />
Good luck everyone,<br />

<br />
I'd like to introduce a new way to work on your writing. If it works, it will be fantastic.<br />
<br />
After some time working on this, Cambridge University Press have come up with a great tool to assess your writing. All you have to do is sign up (you can also use Facebook for that), choose the exercise and submit it. You'll get instant feedback about how to improve your writing, which you can resubmit to be reassessed. I think it's a great idea.<br />
<br />
Try and do let me know if it works for you.<br />
<br />
Here's a video explaining how it works:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

And here's the link to go:<br />

Good luck and enjoy your writing!<br />
