TIPS ON READING

Although my book is a novel, not a text book, it was designed to benefit you as an English reader and learner. When we read in a foreign language it becomes very frustrating when we don´t understand most of the words. That´s why I put a glossary - it is at the back of the book. An English person always *thumbnails the book from the back to the front.The Spanish do not, and I don´t know about other nationalities. I would like feedback on this please.
When you read to learn; new vocabulary , sentence structuring, grammar and they way it´s used, you need one very important thing. Concentration. It´s like being in class you must concentrate to benefit fully.
New Words
I suggest you underline in colour all new words but continue reading till you come to the end of the paragraph. I am sure many new words are not vitaly important to understand what´s going on. At the end of the chapter make your mind map list and some sample sentences. One of my students has suggested I put the more difficult words at the foot of the page. Please tell me if this would be useful to you.
Grammar
See what it is, how it´s used. Analyse. Make your own sentences. How would YOU have written it?
I do hope you enjoy / are enjoying the book and please post your comments on this blog.

WELCOME NEW READERS

WELCOME NEW READERS

This site was created to help students interact with the author, write opinions and answer reading comprehension questions and ask any questions about Diana´s death.

You will find lots of official information from French, British and private investigation.
This of course is not written in plain English but if you are interested enough have a go at investigating yourself.

The latest is a documentary called "Unlawful Killing" which was financed by Dodi´s father and made by Keith Allen. It wasn´t received very well at the Cannes film festival.

There are still unanswered questions, such as ;
Nobody has ever been accused of her death and the Police (French & British) aren´t looking for anyone.
Why were the bodies disposed of so quickly?Victims of sudden death require a post mortem by British law.

Well while you are all on the beach, in the mountains or on a terrace here in Madrid reading the book , enjoy and give me your opinions

What A Wonderful Day!

Congratulations to William & Kate on their wedding day.

Wouldn´t it have been wonderful for Diana to have been there?
Do you think she is ?

INTO 2011

We are well into 2011 and I have already broken one of my new years resolutions.

I hope you will be stronger than me and fulfill yours.



Aren´t there a lot of things happening? William is marrying Kate, the crisis is gradually getting better (some countries- worse others), China and India are becoming world trade leaders and market targets for every company.



Well what about you- new readers? I am still looking for suggestions for actors for the screen play which I am writing of Thin Air. Please look at the information in early blogs, they are full of scientific proof that something very strange happened that day.



The Royals have been in the press again this week as Colin Firth won the golden Globe for his wonderful interpretation of George VI. See, and hear a trailer on http://www.thekingsspeech.com/

Enjoy.



Please keep sending me your ideas, comments and written work. Everyone will be answered.

Don´t forget to check out the video "Who Killed Princess Diana?"

By The Way

Welcome to my friends from LINKEDIN many who are students of mine or people I have coached for job interviews or exams. I hope you enjoy my book and this complementory blogspot to give it some added value.

I have spoken many times about the Plain English Campaign in class and now there is a chance that it will go through Parliament in U.K. President Obama has already passed a Plain English Writing bill in U.S.A. Let´s hope it will go through in the U.K.

If you want to learn more go to the link at the top of the page and you can hear the interview with MP Andrew Bingham.

A Funny Leak

In the book Suzanne was born in a sect. Fruit of her mother with one of the elders of the sect. While I was investigating for the book I was surprised to see just how many there were. On the link below you can see an A-Z of sects. (What a difficult word to say- sounds like sex) Some of them we know, like the Hare Krishna, those young bald men and women, dressed in yellow, dancing in the street making everyone feel happy, or the solem Jahova´s Witnesses. Others have names which make you think; The garbagdes Eaters, Harry´s house (not Potter, I hope) Solar Temple. Soemthing for everyone.
