1)    Analyse  the following pieces of your corresponding author’s work.
·         As soon as it was over, Dorian Gray rushed behind the
scenes into the greenroom. The girl was standing there alone,
with a look of triumph on her face. Her eyes were lit with an
exquisite fire. There was a radiance about her. Her parted
lips were smiling over some secret of their own.
When he entered, she looked at him, and an expression of
infinite joy came over her. “How badly I acted to-night,
Dorian!” she cried

·         "Please don't ask me, Cecil, I cannot tell you. Poor Sir Simon! I owe him a great deal. Yes, don't laugh, Cecil, I really do. He made me see what Life is, and what Death signifies, and why Love is stronger than both."

·         Dear Miss Beadnell
Your own feelings will enable you to imagine far better than any attempt of mine
to describe the painful struggle it has cost me to make up my mind to adopt the
course which I now take, a course than which nothing can be so directly opposed
to my wishes and feelings but the necessity of which becomes daily more apparent
to me.

2)   Write the most important aspects of these authors.
a) Oscar Wilde
b) Charles Dickens

WELCOME TO THIS COURSE

Learning a foreign language is learning a new culture. For that reason it is highly important  that a Modern Languages student gets to know the most important historical and socio cultural aspects that developed the creation and evolution of the language and civilization of the foreign country. Therefore, it becomes an urgent objective for a professional to understand the events that made a mark in the history of the United Kingdom, and to the world, in aspects such as politics, economics, and arts. This will allow the student to analyze national and international events from a historical, cultural, and critical point of view. 





TASKS

1.     To  analyze critically the historical, social, and political which have helped shape British culture.

 2.     To establish connections between different literary works from the UK and the socio cultural contexts in which they were born.


 3.     To analyze  literary pieces and  specify the importance they had for the country, the English language, and the world of its time and the present.




WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE


1. Who was Shakespeare?
2. Why was he such important?
3. What are his most famous works?

 SHALL I COMPARE THEE TO A SUMMER'S DAY


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,
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 wand'rest 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.
