This is Marta’s painting, my favourite!

Bill Sikes is planning to break into a country house and steal the money and jewels. His only problem is that the house is closed at night and only a little boy can get into through a small window. That boy, of course, is Oliver Twist.

One night Sikes, Oliver and Toby Crockit, another thief, walk to the country house. Oliver, very scared, enters the house but he tries to warn the family. Two men appear on the stairs and shoot their gun, Oliver is hurt but he can run out of the house. When Bill Sikes and toby Crockit see that he is bleeding so badly they escape and leave him on the garden wall. The two servants from the house do not see Oliver, who is unconcious and spends the night alone in the garden.

Oliver Twist is happy at Mr Brownlow’s, he has a house, some food, nice clothes, an education and two people who love him, Mrs Bedwin and Mr Brownlow. In the house, there was a picture of a lady who looks very much like Oliver.

One day Oliver goes to the bookshop to bring some books and money. Unfortunately, Nacy and Sikes find him on the street and kidnap him. They take him Fagin’s house, where they take his books, money and clothes. Oliver is so worried because Mr Brownlow may think that he is a thief.

Big Daddy is the title of the last film we have watched in class. Write a few lines and give your opinion about it.

Reading (SB, page 29) Translation

MORGAN SPURLOCK estava mirant un programa sobre menjar ràpid a la televisió quan se li va ocórrer una idea. Un representant de McDonalds deia que el seu menjar era nutritiu i saludable. Morgan hi estava en desacord, i va decidir fer un experiment. Va decidir menjar en restaurants de menjar ràpid cada dia, tres cops al dia, durant trenta dies.

Al començament de l’experiment, Morgan va visitar tres metges, qui comprobaren el seu pes i la seva salut. Morgan era energètic, ple de salut i feliç. Aleshores, va començar la seva dieta (de menjar ràpid). Al principi no es trobava massa malament, però aviat va començar a tenir mals de cap i mals d’estòmac.

Normalment en Morgan no acostumava a menjar massa hamburgueses, però de sobte n’estava menjant constantment i es trovaba malament; no estava menjant suficent fruita ni verdura, i estava menjant massa grassa. Una amburguesa i patates fregides amb una coca-cola gran donen prou energia per a caminar set milles, però en Morgan no feia res d’exercici.

Després de vint-i-un dies, els metges d’en Morgan estaven força preocupats perque  hi havia massa grassa i sucre en la dieta de menjar ràpid. Segons ells, l’experiment era perillós i irresponsable, però en Morgan va continuar. Al final dels trenta dies d’experiment, es trobava malaltís, cansat i amb sobrepes, i havia augmentat onze kilos de pes.

Mentres en Morgan estava fent la dieta de menjar ràpid, va fer un documental sobre la seva experiència, anomenat SUPERSIZE ME, Engreixa’m. Quan la pel.lícula es va fer famosa, alguns restaurants de menjar ràpid van canviar els seus menus. Diuen que ara el seu menjar és saludable, però en Morgan prefereix menjar a casa.
