Give me a word – just one word – and I’ll tell
you why you’re here
You’ve been into learning English for quite some
time, so there must be something in
particular that fuels your curiosity. What is it?
By now you already know that words never mean what they seem to mean: just change the structure in which you “insert” a word, and the meaning will slightly – or dramatically – change.
(1) Take a few seconds to think deeply about a word,
or a collocation which is meaningful to you.
(2) When you have finished, put pen on paper and write
a few things about it, such as:
(a) What you like about it (sound, meaning, spelling,
usefulness);
(b) What it evokes in your mind (connotations);
(c) What relationship(s) may have with your life – is
it the essence, a leitmotif, a recurrent idea?

World Book
Day
Of all the anniversaries, this is closely linked
to knowledge.
(3) Why was the 23rd of April been chosen
as the day for celebration of books?
(4) Name the title of a book you most cherish. Could
you summarize its topic in no more than two minutes? What did you learn from
it?

Survival of
the Printed book
(5) What aspects of the modern world threaten their
survival? Name at least three inventions and activities that may turn the
printed book into a museum sample. What, if anything, can be done to help them
survive? All comments are welcome.
