An Impossible Love
(Love at Firs t Sight) vis ta
Juan Pedro is an eighteen-year-old student. He is
good-looking and clever. He has very art ist ic tastes. He
loves music, art and poetry. But he is very t imid and he is
not happy.

Why isn t he happy? Because he is poor and he has no
fr iends. He knows many other students, of course, but
they are not his f r iends. People wi th l i t t le money have fewfr iends. I t is very sad, but i t is so.
por supuesto
Juan Pedro is from a l i t t le town near Granada, but he is
studying at the Universi ty of Sevi l le. He has got two
brothers and two sisters. His father is a school teacher
and his mother is a housewife.

Behind the house, there is a large ki tchen garden, where
they grow al l k inds of vegetables and some frui t trees:
cherry trees, lemon trees, orange trees, apple trees andfig trees.

The chi ldren help their parents to cul t ivate the

When Juan Pedro comes back from school to his l i t t le

His town is not very far f rom Sevi l le, only two hundred

see his fami ly; but he doesn t want to spend the money,
so he goes home only oncea month.

(continuation) An Impossible Love
In Jun Pedros class there are three students who are
always talking about night clubs and discotheques. Jun
Pedro never goes to night clubs or discos. He never goes
to the theatre or to the cinema. He never goes to part ies.
He just studies al l the afternoon, al l the evening, and very
often at night, too. a menudo
So he cannot talk wi th his companions about the things
that interest them. He can only l isten to theirconversation.
His companions spend a lot of t ime talking about
footbal l , too. But Juan Pedro hasn t got a television in his
room, so he is not wel l informed about footbal l .

His only pastime is reading. He l ikes to read al l k inds

study foreign languages. Now he is learning Ita l ian,
because he loves art, and one day he would l ike to visi t

I t is a cold winter evening. Juan Pedro is in his l i t t le
room studying. After a few hours he begins to feel t i red
and hungry. So he gets up and does some stretching for
about ten minutes. Then he goes to his l i t t le fr idge, and
takes out a bott le of mi lk. He puts some mi lk in a bowl
and adds two spoonfuls of sugar and some chocolate
powder . Whi le he is dr inking the mi lk, he begins to read
the newspaper. On one of the back pages there is a
beauti fu l colour picture of a famous f lamenco dancer:
Mara Estrel la Lpez. There is also a long art ic le about
her. The art ic le speaks about her last tour in South
America and in Mexico, and her fantastic success. The
art ic le also says that she is going to dance in a night club
in Sevi l le for three nights.

After dr inking his chocolate mi lk, Juan Pedro goes
back to his l i t t le desk and begins studying. But after only
ten minutes he has to stop. He cannot concentrate. So he
takes the paper again and begins to look at the picture of
the beauti fu l f lamenco dancer. He goes on looking at the
picture for a long t ime. Then he l ies down on his bed,
closes his eyes and begins to think about dancing, music,
poetry and his future tr ip to I ta ly.

where he keeps the money to buy his food, to pay the

are very expensive... Wel l , he says, I could have just
a glass of mi lk for breakfast and only a sandwich for
lunch. For dinner I wil l have only an apple. I could also go
to school on foot, instead of taking a bus. So I can save

A tal l b londe woman is now singing a popular song.
The t i t le of the song is: Under the Orange Trees of

He cannot give the waiter a t ip, because he now has

Learning a Foreign Language
The word language comes from the Latin word l ingua.
How many languages are spoken in the world today?
Scholars say that they are about 6,800.
There are also thousands of dialects. What is a
dialect? A dialect is a form of a language that is used in a
part of a country or by one group of people. For example,
Sici l ian is a dialect of I t a l ian.

a populat ion of around 3.9 mi l l ion.
Mandarin is the main language of China, and about 874

Engl ish is a special language. I t is used by more than

Learning a Foreign Language
Are there easy languages and di f f icul t languages? Not
at al l . When chi ldren learn their own language, by
l istening and imitat ing their parents, and al l the people
around them, they don t f ind any di f f icul ty. But when they
are in secondary school and they try to learn a foreign
language, that is very di f ferent from their mother tongue,
they f ind lots of di f f icul t ies.

For example, for a Spanish pupi l of ten or eleven tolearn Chinese or Arabic, is qui te di f f icul t , because these
two languages are completely di f ferent from the Spanish
language. But i f he wants to learn Ita l ian, French or
Engl ish, he wi l l not f ind many di f f icul t ies, because Ital ian,
Spanish, French and Engl ish, belong to the same
language fami ly: Indo-European.

There is, of course, something important that we

Learning a Foreign Language
But a student must not waste t ime watching TV or
playing si l ly videogames on his computer, and then say, I
haven t enough t ime to study.

When a students vocabulary is big enough, he must
begin to have l i t t le conversations in Engl ish wi th his
teacher. He must not say, Oh, I can t ta lk. That is too
di ff icul t . I make so many mistakes. I f he makes
mistakes, the teacher can correct him. Good teachers arealways patient.

Al l th ings seem diff icul t when we begin to do them,
but things that seem di ff icul t today can seem very easy
after a few days.

The teacher can ask the student easy questions
about his name, his parents, his brothers and sisters, his
relat ives, his studies, his favouri te sports or his favouri te
singers. The student must answer al l these questions,
using al l the words that he can remember. He must neveranswer only Yes. or No. That is not conversation!
Many people col lect th ings, foreign stamps, for
example. Some col lect postcards, wi th views of
interesting or beauti fu l p laces. I f the student col lects
things, he can talk about his col lect ion.
If the student is a woman, and i f fashions interest
her, she and the teacher can talk about fashions. Some
people l ike to talk about the theatre, or the television and
radio programmes that interest them.Yes, there are dozens of th ings that the student can
say. Of course, there are some days when a person has
no ideas in his head. We al l know that. So what can a
student talk about on these days? Wel l , he can talk about
the weather. Engl ish people love to talk about the
weather. They talk about i t every day. So i f the student

Why has Robert th is nasty character? Why is he always

reasons why he is always i rr i table is that he has got a
stomach ulcer. And as you know, ulcers are very painful.

Why has Robert got an ulcer? He says that the food at
the car factory canteen is horr ib le. And at lunchtime he
has to eat there. - Mi l l ie says that the reason why he
has an ulcer, is that he dr inks too much beer and wine
and he dr inks a lot of whisky, too. She also thinks that
he has got headaches because he never stops smoking.
He even smokes in bed. In fact, every night he l ikes to
read in bed for an hour or two, and while he reads, he
smokes and dr inks whisky.
