Hemingway and Picasso

Hi, everybody,

On pages 22-23 of Headway 3, we looked at biographies of Ernest Hemingway (the American writer), and Pablo Picasso (the Spanish painter).

The biographies were quite long - so it might be a good idea just to choose four or five main points.

Here are five main points about Hemingway's life:

i) He was born in 1899, in Illinois, USA.

ii) He was injured, in Italy, during the First World War.

iii) After moving to Paris, he started to write novels.

iv) He won the Nobel literature prize.

v) In poor health, he killed himself in 1961.

How sad...

Can you write four or five points about Picasso?

Good luck. Enjoy Golden Week.

Hi everybody,

On page 20-21 of Headway 3, we look at things people do, every day.

What do you do, every day? What time do you get up?

Make a list, of about 8 or 10 things, you do, each day, and say if you enjoy doing them.

The picture above is Reginald Perrin, a British TV character. What do you think his job is? Do you think he enjoys it?

Enjoy your week.
