Lady Gaga

The rumour is that Lady Gaga has called her new album ARTPOP, which must be written in capitals. ARTPOP is "pop art" in reverse. Gaga is a big fan of pop art, a 1950s art movement which transformed ordinary objects, like a can of soup, into art. She is fascinated by pop artist Andy Warhol, who died in 1987. She says that he speaks to her in her dreams!

The Host

This is the film of a book by Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight series.
There are no vampires this time - Earth has been infiltrated by parasitic aliens called "souls", which possess humans. There's a love story, of course, between a boy and a "soul". Twilight fans will be happy!




9. Write a dialogue for a story

Alba: Laia, Laia! Can you hear me? I need your help!
Laia: Alba? Where are you? What's happened?
Alba: I'm by the river. I was sailing when suddenly my boat sank because it had a hole. I think it is because I hid a rock by accident.
Laia: Don't panic. I will call the coastguard. Are you injured?
Alba: Ok but hurry up! I hurt my leg.
Laia: Hang ok, we will come to help you soon.
Alba: Laia!
Laia: Now, what's happening?

Dear Sir or Madam



I am the captain of cycling club in Banyoles, Catalunya. The name of the club is Cycling Banyoles. I am writing to you because we are planning a competition and we are looking for sponsors.





The competition will take place in May. Teams and fans from five countries are going to be in Cycling Banyoles for this event, and I think that it will be good publicity for your company and friends.
