Today we are going to do some grammar and practise reading skills.

1. Read this text. Copy the questions on an open office document and answer them.

The Bermuda Triangle

It was a sunny afternoon in 1945. Five American planes were flying over the sea near Florida. Everything was fine. Suddenly, the pilots sent a strange message to their controllers: "This is an emergency. We're lost".

"Fly west", the controllers said. The pilots sent this answer: "Everything is wrong, strange. We aren't sure of any direction. The sea looks different".

Then, the five planes disappeared. The pilots' last words were: "We are completely lost". The controllers sent another plane to look for the pilots. That plane disappeared too.

Soon, people were talking about the "Bermuda Triangle". Strange things happen in this part of the ocean. For example, an American ship called the USS Cyclops disappeared. There were 300 men on the ship. The weather was sunny. The ship did not send any messages. Where did it go? Nobody knows. The Bermuda Triangle is a
mystery!

Com ja varem quedar dimarts passat avui heu de crear una redacció (composition) utilitzant la informació que us donaré i seguint l'exemple del texte de Robert Graves (escriptor anglès que va viure a Deià on hi morí fa vint-i-cinc anys).

Recordau que l'heu de fer i entregar en un full apart avui a classe.

1. Read the following text:


Robert Graves was an English writer. He was born in Wimbledon (London) in England in 1895. He was a writer. He wrote novels, poems and biographies. Robert Graves studied at the University of Oxford.

In the First World War he was a soldier and he was hurt. He married Nancy Nicholson in 1918. Then, he moved to Cairo (Egypt) to work at the University of Cairo. At the university he worked as a teacher. In 1929 Robert and a friend lived in Deià (Mallorca) but with the Civil War they left the island and went away.

He wrote his famous novel I, Claudius in 1934. In 1939, he moved to England and started a new relationship with a lady called Beryl Hodge. After the Second World War in 1946 Graves came to Mallorca. He lived in Deià again. He married his girlfriend here in 1950.

On December 7th, 1985 Robert Graves died in his house in Mallorca. If you want you can visit his house "Ca n'Alluny" in Deià.
