EditorialDear all, Welcome back! It’s a pleasure for us to start yet another school year with you. We anticipate with great pleasure all the learning and fun that we’ll be sharing this year. As you may already know, the Liceo Cultural Británico is now firmly established in fourteen locations – Casa Central, Barrio Norte, Belgrano, Flores, Villa Crespo, Villa Urquiza, Martínez, Adrogué, Hurlingham, Lanús, Moreno, Palomar Quilmes, and San Martín. A very special welcome to all the students, teachers and staff from all and each of these branches. We firmly believe that learning a language is so much about making the most of opportunities to use it in class as through a number of out of class activities. The Liceo Cultural Británico fosters this by implementing a variety of projects that cater for different interests. For starters, the LCB News, this magazine that includes work submitted by students from all branches. You are all invited to send your ideas, drawings, crosswords, interviews, stories or comments. As for further speaking opportunities, you can also join our Free Conversation lessons, which run from May to November.

A crazy Halloween storyIn 20th century London, the famous detective Sherlock

Holmes and Watson, his assistant, were visited by a famous

artist in those times: Jack Jackson. He wanted Holmes and

Watson to take part in the investigation of the murder of a

scientist named Marco Polo. They all went to the scientist’s

house. When they got there, they met the rest of the team

and they all spent the night in the house together.

In the middle of the night they heard noises coming

from the kitchen, Holmes and Watson went there and…

saw the ghost of Jack Sparrow! They decided to call the

Ghostbusters and then the ghost died.

Once the ghost died, they went to Holmes’s house and had

a party there. It was there that Holmes understood what

had happened to the ghost they had investigated and the

house. He wrote in his journal: “At last we found out that the

house was haunted.”

Matias Martínez & Leonel Bazán

Haunted HouseA group of school children went to the Hollow House for

Halloween. They had heard about the legend of the White

Lady and wanted to investigate. When they left the house

some time after, they were terrified. They told us at school

that as soon as they walked into the house they had seen a

pile of toys on the floor. Sally, Peter’s sister, said that she

had taken a look around the house and had seen a woman in

the kitchen. As soon as she told the rest and they all went to

take a look, she had disappeared and nobody saw anything.

When they left the kitchen, they realized that they had lost

Nancy, one of the girls. They searched everywhere in the

house but she was not there.

All of a sudden, Nancy screamed and they all went to look

for her. When they found her, they saw the White Lady

struggling with Nancy: she was grabbing Nancy by the

neck!

They finally managed to release her and they all ran out of

the room, out of the house and away from it.

Soon after that they found out that the White Lady was

actually called Cindy Hollow and that she had discovered

that her husband cheated on her. She had killed her

daughter and then she had killed herself because of the

enormous guilt she felt.

This is why when this lady sees a young girl, she thinks it is

actually her young daughter seeking for refuge.

Haunted house 2One night John and his friends were looking for candles

when they saw a really strange house. It looked old and

abandoned.

They were afraid, but the boys still wanted an adventure

so they walked in. Suddenly, the door closed behind them.

Now they were really scared but as they could do nothing

about the door they moved on.

They opened another door and saw a shadow. Both John

and his friend held their breath: they couldn’t believe what

they were seeing! They wished they had never visited the

house.

They started screaming and just then a specter’s voice was

heard. Immediately after that, three ghosts caught them

and pushed them out of the house.

Soon after this they found out that the house was haunted.

John asked his friend if he would like to go into the house

again...

(to be continued…)

We don’t know if John is dead or alive now.

Shaiel Zelener & Adi Cohen Sabban

Spooky!At last we found out that the house was haunted. We felt

really scared right there and then because we realized

something.

As soon as we were in front of the house, the door opened

by itself. We couldn’t believe it! And then, once we were

inside, it closed automatically behind us!

Inside the house there were spider webs, black walls, tables

and chairs and all the lights were off.

Then we started the search for the girl who was crying and,

when we found her, she was already dead. We decided to

hide but the killer found us and we

started to run in order to go out of

the house.

Unfortunately, all the doors were

closed, so we had to climb some very

tall windows and this way we could

escape.

A long time ago in a cold night, one man called Carlos went to a party with a friend which was in a bar in Canada. It was almost 12 P.M when a beautiful girl called Monica came into the bar and sat down alone in the table. When carlos saw her alone, he invited her to dance and after that they drank a beer. Monica was very cold and carlos gave her his jacket. When the girl was leaving, Carlos offered to take her in his motorcycle. When they arrived at her house, she thanked him.Next day, Carlos went to Monica’s house to get his jacket back. He knocked on the door and one mum opened the door, he asked her if she was Monica’s mum and she told him that she had died 5 years ago, he couldn´t believe it and the mum told him to go to the cemetery to see her tomb. To Carlos’ horror his jacket was over that tomb. Carlos was very scared and he went to talk with his friend.After that, Carlos didn´t speak with strangers anymore.

Revenge

A long time ago in a cold and dark Tuesday night a young lady called Lillian had gone to her boyfriend’s house to visit him for their anniversary.She entered the house and she thought she had heard a girl’s voice in his boyfriend’s room. She opened the door slightly and saw her friend Sammy kissing her boyfriend!Lillian ran away of the house while her tears were falling down. She was so angry with both that she didn’t notice a car passing while she was crossing the street.Everything happened so fast...The car hit the girl so hard that it took her life away.From that fact Lillian’s spirit appeared in front of Sammy every Tuesday night and did terrible things, for example:She cut Sam’s arms while she was sleeping and when she woke up, she looked at her cuts and she cried.Lillian has tormented her for seven years. Every Tuesday she shouted to her:-STOP BOTHERING ME AND GO AWAY!!!Lillian laughed and she came back again and again. One day Sam went crazy and she committed suicide.The Police found her body with a piece of paper next to her which was written with her blood:“NOW YOU WON’T TORMENT ME ANYMORE, WE’RE TOGETHER.”

This is a short story about a girl who started a job. She was really stressed and she couldn’t sleep well. One night, six months after she started her job, a sound woke her up. But she couldn’t move her arms , legs or any part of the body. A shadow passed in front of her, she tried to scream , but she couldn’t. She felt how something or someone sat next to her and started whispering words on her ear, she fell asleep again and woke up screaming when the alarm clock went off . Luckily, that never happened to her again.This is called sleeping paralysis , it happens when your daily routine is very stressful , or you can’t sleep well . The things and sounds you hear aren’t real they’re just hallucinations.

A real horror story

In Texas, The United States, there was an old and scary house which was in the middle of the forest.Two men were living in that house. They were hunters but not animal hunters, they were into human hunting. The names of the hunters were Enzo and Sebas. Enzo was eighteen . He was strong and clever. Enzo was taller than Sebas. Sebas was twenty-one years old. He was brave and ugly. Sebas was better than Enzo. They hunted in the forest, in the mountains and in lakes.One day, a family was camping near the forest. The family was composed of one mother, one father and one girl. The parents were in love with each other and the girl was studying Math. They were on holiday.Suddenly, Enzo looked at the family camping and started to run to Sebas. When the two men were preparing their arms, the family was having breakfast.After that, when they arrived, they were waiting to attack. They killed all of them. Finally, after committing the crime, they cooked the pieces of

It was a cloudy night, Drake and Josh were watching a football match of Manchester United when the lights turned off. As there weren’t lights, they decided to go for a walk. While Drake and Josh were walking they talked about their tests, the football match, TV programmes, artists and all you can imagine. To their horror, they didn´t see that a man was pursuing them. They ran and ran but they couldn´t escape, the man who was a thief caught them. After that, the man took them to an old factory and he tried to kill them. They started shouting but nobody heard them but then someone saw what was happening and the person called the police. 10 minutes later, the police went to the factory but it was very late. The men were dead but the police could catch the criminal near Drake’s and Josh’s house who were already dead.

A long long time ago in a far far town there were two friends. Their names were Sam and Carol. They weren’t normal people. He was a wolf and she was a “chupacabras” they were lucky because there was a farm close to their house.They went out only at the night because the sun destroyed them. For the farmers that was a nightmare because if they didn’t say hello or goodbye to them , they would appear at night an eat all their children and after their wives This story happened between 1800 and 1900 in England but it is said that they are alive now and that they travelling around the world killing people.

It was Saturday night when I arrived home. My parents were not there because they went to a magic show. I was playing mortal kombat when suddenly the moon turned red. Quickly, I found out some information about the “red moon.” It appears every 500 years, and the legend says that the moon chooses one person called the “ chosen. “I was sleeping when a mysterious force caught me and the color of my eyes became purple. I started to feel pain my skin became red and horns started to come out it was horrible! I didn’t become a hero , oh no, nothing like that, ... I became a devil .Unconsciously, I killed all my family and my friends from the Liceo! The first of them was obviously Ca - ta ( hahaha , no no, it was only a joke XD) Fortunately, it was only a nightmare!

A devilish kidnapping

It was a dark night, Nicole had come from the house of her best friend Alisson. There was a party there so she was tired. She took a short shower and went to bed.A very strange dream took her by surprise. On this occasion, a demon was in a dark castle. She climbed up just out of curiosity.She knocked on the door and it opened itself. Slowly, she entered the lobby. As she watched the place, the door closed tightly behind her. She was scared to death, however, that wasn’t true, was it?She went upstairs to her old, dirty and dark room. Nothing happened, so she went to another one.She entered the next one and a shadow seemed to move. She came back trembling. Was she still dreaming? That’s what we wonder! It seemed that she wasn’t.The shadow jumped from the closet. The demon was real.— You are unconscious. This is not a dream — the soul was clarifying all kinds of doubts to the girl.— W-who are you? —She asked, with a clipped voice.— The devil of your nightmares, the beast that haunts you.The demon laughed at Nicole as she tried to escape. It did not work. The demon kidnapped her or so somebody said.I never heard about that but the neighbours heard Nicole’s screams coming from a castle.

Can you see me in the darkness?

When I was an innocent child, I don’t know why but looking myself in the window scared me, it always made me feel uncomfortable.I think everybody has something that makes them feel uncomfortable.I returned from school and then I had lunch and watched TV, I was alone, of course, because my parents worked every day. I went to the bathroom to wash my teeth when I saw a woman in the mirror. Her skin was as white as a dead body. Her hair was dark and she had no eyes! She started to push the window. I broke the window first and she disappeared and then the lights turned off automatically. I couldn’t see anything! I heard a sound from the kitchen. It was so dark that I decided to stay in the bathroom but the woman was behind me and she said “give me your eyes” I was shocked! Suddenly, her hand tried to remove my eyes. That was when I started to run. I went to the kitchen and I saw something that changed me, there was my dog flayer on the floor. I vomited and I started to cry. I didn’t know what to do but instantly the woman appeared and she tried to take off the eyes of my poor dog, I said crying “DON´T” but she looked at me and she said “you will not use your eyes where you go.” I took something from the floor and I threw it at her but it didn’t work so I ran to my bedroom and I closed the door.I feel her presence, I don’t know why but she can’t enter my bedroom. At the moment she is stronger, she is pushing the door now.Do you believe in ghosts?How do you know there is nobody watching you when you go to bed?She is finally is here.She is waiting for me.There is no escape.She will tell me your name and she will find you.

A holiday is actually a “holy” day. It is thus a day when we do not work because we deem it special, sacred, holy. Knowing what the word really is, knowing the “secret identity” of the word, helps us use it correctly. If we know that a holiday is in fact a holy day, then we can understand why we go “on” holiday, and not “in” or “at” holiday, for the word “day” takes the preposition “on”, as when we say “on Sunday” or “on 30th February”- an imaginary day, by the way. So the Easter holiday is somewhat doubly holy because it is a religious holiday. It is an extra holy holiday. And yet, the name in English has a seemingly un-religious air to it. You see, Eostre-the word where “Easter” comes from- was a goddess of the heathen (non believing) Anglo-Saxons. She was the goddess of fertility for them and they had festivals in her honour precisely in the month of April. So, while the Spanish give the holiday the name “Pascua”, related to the “paso” of Christ from mortality to immortality with his resurrection; the English stick to their own traditions before they were Christianised and remain closer to their own culture than that of the Christians. So, after all, Easter is a holiday that is etymologically as holy as, say, the first of May. Unveiling the secularity of the word allows us to discover how rooted the Anglo-Saxons were to their own cultural practices. This feeling of sticking to what is yours might as well be something to ponder on as regards our own cultural heritage, our own patterns as Argentinians, and the value of what it is to belong to our beautiful nation.

Since I was a girl TV movies and magazines have shown us an easy way to make marriages work. They have inspired us (women) to get brave, fair, wise, funny and why not romantic husbands.But from our very first date to our daily domestic life you realize that “the ideal man” is only in your mind, and that the bone and flesh specimen by your side, isn’t the same as you had dreamt of.I’ve been living with my husband since 1998 and previously we had had a “girlfriend –boyfriend” relationship for ten years, so we’ve been together for more than 25 years. I can’t say: “I didn’t know him”!I’ve discovered good things and bad things, strangely enough, those good things turned into a nightmare:I used to love the fact that he respected and chose to spend time with the whole family …but not all the time…and his mother included.I used to enjoy it when he helped me with the housework but now he has become an obsessive compulsive cleaner!I really love his sufficient economic solvency…but he really is a workaholic.Sooner or later the prince becomes a frog, and the beautiful princess is in fact a witch…To overcome our problems we’ve had fluent dialogues, although they aren’t always helpful, and sometimes we can argue, but we try to listen to each other and solve our problems.My husband has conquered not only half of my wardrobe, my bed, my house… but he has also won my heart.We are convinced that we don’t need to train the other.Although prince charming can lose his charm with the passing of time, he is still a prince. And whatever happens he will always be by my side.(Any resemblance to reality is pure coincidence)

How I trained my husband…Did I train him?

Students from the Flores CAE course on Saturdays read the story “Usher II” by Ray Bradbury. It is a text on a futuristic society where, pretty much like George Orwell’s 1984, life has become too

rational and controlled. They were asked to write an Information Sheet with the most salient event in the story- the party thrown by its main character- and a Review of it. Here are their productions.

“Party Time at Usher’s”If you are interested in having a good time or you want to live a unique experience, you should take this invitation into account. The aim of this amazing party is to celebrate the anniversary of The Great Fire, an event that gave us peace and clarified our rational minds.

What to do at the partyThere will be many things to do in this interesting event:

-Sharing opinions about effective ways of controlling what kind of books people should read.-Listening to talks by members of the Moral Climates Department.-Getting your invitations to attend the premiere of the documentary “Once upon a time- no more”(robots in charge of the Logical Department will be distributing invitations, look for them in the purple room!)

FacilitiesUsher offers you the opportunity to:

• Enjoy the day swimming in its beautifully creepy lake.• Take a ride in our private rockets and visit the planet next to ours.• Appreciate our twilight landscape from our exclusively panoramic point of view.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to take part in this intergalactic meeting. The date is at seven o’clock.Remember:Should you lack personal-robot transportation, a rocket cab will be waiting for you at the door of the Moral Climates Department!

INFORMATION SHEET

Usher II If you are fond of science fiction stories, you definitely must read “Usher II”. It’s full of imaginative scenes, the plot is awesome and the ending is unexpected- that is, if you haven’t read the whole of Poe’s stories like poor Mr Garret, RIP.

This story takes place in Mars in 2005 AD. It starts when Mr Stendhal names his new house Usher, based on the story by Edgar Allan Poe. He builds this house in order to kill the human beings in favour of burning books and forbidding any kind of imaginative productions on Earth. To fulfill this purpose, he organises a party in his house, where terrible things happen to the naïve guests that attend it.What is interesting about the plot is that Ray Bradbury uses Poe’s stories to show the reader how important literature and imagination really are. Ray Bradbury is a well-known writer of science fiction books, and this story is a great example of this genre. Although this is fiction, he is able to write a delicious, interesting and realistic story. He makes us feel as if we were in the situation that he projects with the language.

We highly recommend reading this story, for readers will find it incredible and remarkable. Besides it is loaded with fun!Cecilia Andina- Gabriela Zanoni

You should be here, Nature has need of you.She has been laid waste. Smothered by the smog,the flowers are mute, and the birds are fewin a sky slowing like a dying clock.All hopes of Proteus rising from the seahave sunk; he is entombed in the wastewe dump. Triton’s notes struggle to be free,

Sonnets have been one of the many manners in which poets have transmitted their views and feelings on life. Here is a selection for all of you LCB News readers to enjoy!!!!

DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not soe, For, those, whom thou think’st, thou dost overthrow, Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill mee. From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee, Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow, And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate:Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimmed,And every fair from fair sometime declines,

Earth has not anything to show more fair:Dull would he be of soul who could pass byA sight so touching in its majesty:This City now doth, like a garment, wearThe beauty of the morning; silent, bare,Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lieOpen unto the fields, and to the sky;

All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.Never did sun more beautifully steepIn his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;Ne’er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!The river glideth at his own sweet will:Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;And all that mighty heart is lying still!

– William Wordsworth

– John Donne

Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie. Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell, And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well, And better than thy stroake; why swell’st thou then? One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally, And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

– William Shakespeare

By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimmed:But thy eternal summer shall not fade,Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st, So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee

– Boey Kim Cheng

his famous horns are choked, his eyes are dazed,and Neptune lies helpless as beached as a whale,while insatiate man moves in for the kill.Poetry and piety have begun to fail,As Nature’s mighty heart is lying still.O see the widening in the sky,God is labouring to utter his last cry.
