The upper berth
(Això és la lectura dramatitzada d’un fragment del conte de terror “The Upper Berth”, de Marion Crawford. Intentaré aplicar aquesta tècnica (òbviament molt millorada) per penjar els textos fets per alumnes de 4t d’ESO per Halloween, amb la seva pròpia veu, il.lustracions i text. De moment, això és tot el que he pogut fer).
“It was something ghostly, horrible beyond words, and it moved in my grip. It was like the body of a man long drowned,and yet it moved, and had the strength of ten men living; but I gripped it with all my might -the slippery,oozy, horrible thing- the dead white eyes seemed to stare at me out of the dusk; the putrid odour of rank sea-water was about it, and its shiny hair hung in foul curls over its dead face. I wrestled with the dead thing; it thrusted itself upon me and forced me back and nearly broke my arms;it wound its corpse’s arms about my neck, the living death, and overpowered me,so that I, at last, cried aloud and fell, and left my hold”.

Monty Phyton Argument Clinic
BATXILLERAT
Amb l’ajuda d’aquest gag dels “Monty Phyton” veurem en acció com es fan servir les “short answers” angleses: un tret de l’anglès oral que ens costa d’incorporar als parlant de llengües romàniques.
Argument Clinic (duració 2:29)
El protagonista arriba a una Argument Clinic (Clínica de Discussions)
Paga per una discussió de cinc minuts, i es dirigeix a la “consulta”.
El gag el podem dividir en quatre parts:
- L’arribada del client a la “consulta”
- La discussió sobre la mateixa discussió (argument vs. contradiction)
- Finalització del temps i nova discussió
- Acudit final

(2) What’s the doctor’s strategy?
Man: I came here for a good argument
Mr Vibrating: No, you came here for AN argument
Man: Well, an argument is not the same as contradiction
Mr Vibrating: It can be.

Man: No it wasn’t.
Mr Vibrating: I’m sorry, I’m not allowed to argue any more
(4) Why is this last part even funnier?

Man: Aha! Well if I didn’t pay, why are you arguing … got you!
Mr Vibrating: No, you haven’t
Man: Yes I have … if you’re arguing I must have paid.
Mr Vibrating: Not necessarily. I could be arguing in my spare time.
