TWILIGHT
La mayoría de mis alumnos de ESO y bachillerato están "enamorados" del libro y de la película Twilight, de Stephenie Meyers. Son ellos quienes me han pedido una actividad de listening comprehension utilizando el trailer de la película, así que durante la clase de hoy verán uno de los trailers oficiales de la misma mientras rellenan este típico ejercicio de fill in the gaps:
TWILIGHT
TWILIGHT is an action, modern-day love story between a teen girl and a vampire. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a bit different, never fitting in with the girls at her school. When Bella is sent to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn’t have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Edward has been waiting 90 years for a soul mate, which he finds in Bella. They are soon swept up in a passionate and unorthodox romance. Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will they do when a clan of new vampires – James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre) – come to town and threaten to disrupt their way of life?
