Olive Ann Burns
July 21, 2008 – 11:24 amOf her career and upbringing, Burns once said, “It has been said that growing up in the South and becoming a writer is like spending your life riding in a wagon, seated in a chair that is always facing backwards. I don’t face life looking backwards, but I have written about past times and past people.”
Spain Has More Reason To Celebrate
July 8, 2008 – 8:31 amTwo weeks ago, the Spanish soccer team excelled at Euro 2008 beating Germany in the final, and on the same day a young Spaniard by the name of Pablo Larazabal excelled at golf, winning the French Open in style. However, I think last Sunday's performance by 22 year old Mallorca native Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon surpassed his compatriots with an achievement that graces the tennis hall of fame. In front of an enthralled crowd, Nadal and Federer fought a duel for almost 5 hours in what was for me the best tennis I have ever seen before Nadal emerged victorious. Interviewed afterwards, Nadal said that he was very happy. To help his English vocabulary, we have a learn English for Spanish speakers series of audio books. Hope he pays us a visit!
Interesting Question About Audiobooks
July 6, 2008 – 4:29 pmHere's an interesting question I came across which was asked by a mother whose daughter has some reading problems. The source is The Desert Sun, California. Question: Reading is a very hard task for my 6th grade daughter and her teacher suggested that I get books on tape for her to listen to this summer. My husband believes books on tape are not the same as reading and they are considered "cheating." I'm confused, are books on tape really a form of cheating? Answer: Although audiobooks can never take the place of reading aloud, many educators agree that audio books are considered wonderful tools for children for several reasons. Audio books are successful in providing struggling readers an opportunity to be exposed to literature they otherwise would not have been able to read. Reading is also about comprehending a story and audiobooks can help children develop strong listening and critical thinking skills.
Spain Had A Great Weekend
July 5, 2008 – 1:32 pmAs a sports fan of both golf and soccer I was delighted to see Spain doing so well last weekend. I was very impressed with Pablo Larazabal and the courage he showed over the last 4 tough holes of the French Open. Monty's comments the evening before were in my opinion designed to make him feel the pressure, but thankfully Pablo didn't falter and won the tournament in style. And to round off a great day for Spaniards, their national soccer team beat Germany in the final of Euro 2008 thanks to a fine goal from Fernando Torres. Monty, and Germany will have to try again some other day. This would be a good time to learn Spanish congratulatory terms.
