Summary of the Plot
 Hermia’s father wants Hermia to marry Demetrius (who loves Hermia), but Hermia is in love with Lysander and refuses to comply. Disobeying her father’s wishes could result in her being sent to a convent. Nonetheless, Hermia and Lysander plan to escape and marry in the house of Lysander’s aunt, some seven leagues distant from the city. They make their intentions known to Hermia’s friend: Helena, who was once engaged to Demetrius and still loves him even though he rejected her after meeting Hermia. Hoping to regain his love, Helena tells Demetrius of the elopement that Hermia and Lysander have planned. At the appointed time, Demetrius stalks into the woods after his intended bride and her lover; Helena follows behind him. In these same woods are two very different groups of characters. The first is a band of fairies, including Oberon, the fairy king, and his wife, Titania

The second is a band of craftsmen rehearsing a play that they hope to perform for a very special occasion. Oberon and Titania, King and Queen of Fairies, are locked in quarrel. Not being able to solve it and seeking revenge, Oberon sends his merry servant, Puck, to acquire a magical flower, the juice of which can be spread over a sleeping person’s eyelids to make that person fall in love with the first thing he or she sees upon waking. Puck obtains the flower, and Oberon tells him of his plan to spread its juice on the sleeping Titania’s eyelids. Having seen Demetrius act cruelly toward Helena, he orders Puck to spread some of the juice on the eyelids of the young mortal man. Puck encounters Lysander and Hermia; thinking that Lysander is the mortal of whom Oberon spoke, Puck afflicts him with the love potion. Lysander happens to see Helena upon awaking and falls deeply in love with her, abandoning Hermia. As the night progresses and Puck attempts to undo his mistake, both Lysander and Demetrius end up in love with Helena, who believes that they are mocking her. Hermia becomes so jealous that she tries to challenge Helena to a fight. Demetrius and Lysander nearly do fight over Helena’s love, but Puck confuses them by mimicking their voices, leading them apart until they are lost separately in the forest. Finally, Oberon decides that all good sports must come to an end. Puck puts the four lovers to sleep and gives Lysander the antidote for the love potion so that he will love Hermia again when they all wake up. Demetrius now loves Helena, and Lysander now loves Hermia. Next, Oberon gives Titania the antidote, and the King and Queen reconcile. Lysander, Hermia, Helena, and Demetrius asleep in the forest wake up and find everything is all right. All return to Athens to make sense of what they think is a strange dream. The craftmen perform then a hilarious version of the story of Pyramus and Thisbe. When the play is completed, the fairies briefly emerge to bless the couples with a protective charm and then disappear. Puck remains, to ask the audience for its forgiveness and approval and to urge it to remember the play as though it had all been a dream.

River Plate Athetic Club

   The tittle of my talk is “River Plate”. River is my biggest passion, I always go to the stadium to see the team play. I take River everywhere I go, that is why I want to talk about this club today.

   Let’s start with some background. River Plate is a club with many sports but I am a fan of River’s football team. River was founded on 1901, the club has 114 years of existence and glory.

   First of all, let me tell you that River has lots of fans all over the world, not only in Argentina. If you see any game in River’s stadium, you can notice the stadium full, even when the team isn’t playing well.

   Another thing is that River is the team with the most argentinien championships in the country with 35 titles, followed by the eternal rival Boca Juniors with 24 titles. There is a difference of eleven titles, and if you ask me, there is no doubt that River is much more popular than Boca.

   Finally, I’d like to say that whatever other people say about River, or if we win or lose, I will always be a huge fan of this glorious club and encourage it from any place in this world.

The tittle of my talk is ‘Disney World’.

When you were a child, have you ever dreamed about travelling to Disney?  I always did, I dreamed about meeting Mickey Mouse, Donald the duck, Pluto and all his friends. Today I’ll be talking about ‘Disney’ because I know that many people would like to know about this magical place.

Let’s start with some background. Disney is in the U.S.A, in the state of Orlando, Florida. Disney is famous thanks to its theme parks and many hotels.

First the constrction of the firs park began in 1967, less tan a year after the death of Walt Disney. On October 1st, 1971, only opened the park know as ‘Magic Kindom’, the added to that the theme parks called ‘Epcot’, ‘Disney’s Hoywood studios’ and ‘Disney’s Animal Kindom.         

Another thing is that Disney resort in addition tothe four principal theme parks has 2 water parks, 6 gols courses, 2 sports complexes, a racetrack, 23 resort hotels and a otof shops, resturants and entertainament places. The total area of the property has more tan 8094 acres and is the complex of the world’s largest theme parks, although in the last decade large tracts of land have been sold.

Finally Disney is the world’s largest theme park and has many amazing things t see and know I do not lose hope of someday being able to travel there or maybe when I have children to take them and enjoy it as much as I wish.

Let's get ready for Alice!!!!

Celebrating Alice’s 150th birthday

Lewis Carroll’s ’s classic, Alice in Wonderland, turns 150 this year.

For a century and a half it has delighted and puzzled us in equal measure. We have fallen down the rabbit hole with Alice, taken tea with her and the Mad Hatter, been maddened by the Cheshire Cat and had to convince the Queen of Hearts that we didn’t steal her tarts!

Alice in Wonderland was first published in 1865 and was inspired by a boat trip that author Lewis Carroll took with some family friends, the Liddell children, down the River Thames in Oxford. He told the youngest daughter, Alice, a story as they rowed along and she begged him to write it down. When he got home that evening he began straight away.

The book, and its sequel Through The Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, have been translated into at least 65 languages, including Cornish and Latin, and countless film and theatre adaptations have been made.

Alice in Wonderland is a book that remains as enchanting as ever, no matter how many times we reread it. Here, to celebrate its birthday, we share some of the its fantastic quotes!

“Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle.” 

 “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the cat. “We’re all mad here.”

 “I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.”

Do you dare to add your favourite one?
Be careful, you can't repeat them!!!!
