What is Scientology? (according to Alan Shore)
Girls, this video (00:02:39 long) is from "Boston Legal," a fantastic American legal drama-comedy created by David E. Kelley.
The script is delicious! and this character in particular, called Alan Shore and played by James Spader, is a lawyer of great intelligence and wit who will give his particular point of view as regards Scientology (a body of beliefs and related practices created by American science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard). This ideology has been lately adopted by some Hollywood stars, being actor Tom Cruise one of the most well-known Scientologists.
I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did, and still do!!!!!
Link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPBiGtVmir4
Activities:
1. Pay attention to stresses, pauses, emphasis and intonation. Please don't miss the punch line! Just, enjoy it.
2. If this is the first time you hear about this topic, read some on it. Then, give a short response to the lawyer as if you were Mr. Cairns (try to apply some of the expressions we've been dealing with when giving opinions)
3. Extract at least three expressions or specific terms you would like to remember.

Hey!!! Get pen and paper to work with Florencia's contribution!!! Very interesting. Let her know what you usually draw.
<YOU ARE WHAT YOU DRAW!!!
Before beginning reading what I prepared for you, you have to take a piece of paper and draw whatever you want. Please don’t read the text below.
Ok!! Have you finished to draw? Now you can read the information.
According to some graphologists at any rate, doodles may hold the key to your responsibility. The underlying idea of graphology is simple: writing is an automatic action controlled by your subconscious. Whether you loop your letters or angle them, how you join them together, how you spread them over the blank page, indeed every tiny twitch of your writing fingers may betray something of your inner turmoil. While the finer points of graphology have never stood up to hard scientific testing, its basic premise is hard to deny, as anyone who has received a letter written in scrawling block capitals in green ink will confirm. So while I would not go so far as to claim absolute validity for what follows, it may be worth taking some notice of it.
-The first thing to look for is the position of the doodle on the page:
Extroverts doodle on the middle of the paper, showing their need to be at the center of things and the need for space.
Doodling at the left of the paper is sign of worry and fear for what the future may hold.
Doodling at the right shows impulsiveness.
If you draw at the bottom, it shows critical and practical approach, at times depression.
Drawing at the top of the page is a sign of enthusiasm, spirituality, and an unpractical approach.
-Now comes pressure: turn your paper over and hold it up to the light. Can you see a firm impression made by your pen or pencil?
§ HEAVY - could express energy, activity, at times aggression.
§ MEDIUM - points to a well-balanced personality.
§ LIGHT - could be evidence of sensitivity.
§ IRREGULAR - might indicate that the person's inner energy is not altogether regulated. A lack of stability and frequent changes in moods, restlessness, and impatience.
-Now, you have to look at he pictures and read their explanations, they are related to common shapes.
1. GEOMETRICAL SHAPES
Triangles, squares, pattern formations: organized brain, clear thinking process and planning skills, meticulous planning on one's steps, efficiency, purposefulness.
2. VARIOUS TYPES
Stars, sun, moon, celestial bodies: optimism, ambition, a need to prove and advertise oneself.
3. ABSTRACT SHAPES

He is interested in other people, has a need for closeness and social involvement. He has a keen sense for aesthetics, sensitivity and consideration in others.
6. DRAWING FACES WITH OPEN MOUTHS

7. DRAWING UGLY FACES Suspicious, bitter, dislikes people, doesn't trust them, rebellious, lacks self-confidence, does not delegate and does not work well in a team. Bad-tempered, feels offended and deprived. He has a negative approach, looks for the worst in everyone and every circumstance and does not enjoy himself. He is highly judgmental, defensive, and tends to distort reality as a result of his "dark" view of things.
8. ARROWS AND LADDERS
Much ambition; a strong drive to prove himself; the end, in his opinion, justifies the means. Impatient for prolonged processes and aims for the nearest goal.
9. DRAWING HOUSES

10. MUSICAL NOTES Love of music.

12. PLANTS, FLOWERPOTS, FLOWERS

14. HEARTS

15. VARIOUS TRAVEL VEHICLES

16. BOOKS BALANCED ONE ON TOP ON ANOTHER; BUILDING RESTING ON A BRICK OR TWO

Sofia's contribution!!! Thanks. Good job!
Read the following text taken from the book “For And Against” (L. G. Alexander)
Once upon a time there lived a beautiful young woman and a handsome young man. They were very poor, but as they were deeply in love, they wanted to get married. The young people’s parents shook their heads. “You can’t get married yet”, they said. “Wait till you get a good job with good prospects”. So the young people waited until they found good jobs with good prospects and they were able to get married. They were still poor, of course. They didn’t have a house to live in or any furniture, but that didn’t matter. The young man had a good job with prospects, so large organizations lent him the money he needed to buy a house, some furniture, all the latest electrical appliances and a car. The couple lived happily ever after paying off debts for the rest of their lives. And so ends another modern romantic fable.
We live in a materialistic society and are trained from our earliest years to be acquisitive. Our possessions, “mine” and “yours” are clearly labelled from early chilhood. When we grow old enough to earn a living, it does not surprise us to discover that success is measured in terms of the money you earn. We spend the whole of our lives keeping up with our neighbours, the Joneses. If we buy a new television set, Jones is bound to buy a bigger and better one. If we buy a new car, we can be sure that Jones will go one better and get two new cars: one for his wife and one for himself. The most amusing thing about this game is that the Joneses and all the neighbours who are struggling frantically to keep up with them are spending borrowed money kindly provided, at a suitable rate of interest, of course, by friendly banks, insurance companies, etc.
It is not only in affluent societies that people are obsessed with the idea of making more money. Consumer goods are desirable everywhere and modern industry deliberately sets out to creat new markets. Gone are the days when industrial goods were made to last forever. The wheels of industry must be kept turning. “Built-in obsolescence” provides the means: goods are made to be discarded. Cars get tinier and tinier. You no sooner acquire this year´s model than you are thinking about its replacement.
This materialistic outlook has seriously influenced education. Fewer and fewer young people these days acquire knowledge only for its own sake. Every course of study must lead somewhere: i.e. to a bigger wage packet. The demand for skilled personnel far exeeds the supply and big companies compete with each other to recruit students before they have completed their studies. Tempting salaries and “fringe benefits” are offered to them. Recruiting tactics of this kind have led to the “brain drain”, the process by which highly skilled people offer their services to the highest bidder. The wealthier nations deprive their poorer neighbours of their most able citizens. While Mammon is worshipped as never before, the rich get richer and the poor, poorer.

Art: Diego Rivera. What a great painter!! By Meli Lasorella.
Diego Rivera's Man at the Crossroads (1934)
By 1930, Mexican muralist Diego Rivera has gained international favour for his passionate murals. Inspired by an intense devotion to his cultural heritage, Rivera creates boldly hued masterpieces of public art that adorn the municipal buildings of Mexico City. His outgoing personality puts him at the centre of a circle of left-wing painters and poets, and his talent attracts wealthy patrons, including Abby Aldrich Rockefeller. In 1932, she convinces her husband, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to commission a Rivera mural for the lobby of the soon-to-be-completed Rockefeller Centre in New York City. Rivera proposes a 63-foot-long portrait of workers facing symbolic crossroads. Once finished, the Centre’s building managers order Rivera to remove the offending image. As he refuses to do it, the mural is first covered and then demolished. Rivera never works in the United States again.
Now, look at the mural and try to guess why the company’s directors as well as Rockefeller himself were so hungry and decided to destroy it.
To give you some help, try to find these faces in the mural, some of them appear, others not.
Leon Trotsky
Charles Darwin
Pancho Villa - Mexican revolutionary leader
Abraham Lincoln
Vladimir Lenin
Frida Khalo
After making out which faces appeared, surely you are able to tell the reason why this work of art was destroyed, aren’t you? Please, write a brief response to the painting expressing if you like it or not and whether the image means something to you. What would you have done if you had been in Rivera’s place? Would you have been loyal to your ideals or to the people who entrusted you a mural? Don’t hate me; use the energy to express it in only a hundred and fifty words.

Quite an interesting reading passage by Virgi! More practice for you!!
Article from “The teacher ´s magazine”. Year 2008. Number 90. Ediba Editorial.
- Before reading, what do you think the text is going to be about?
“From an animal to mankind”.
I am writing to you, human being; although you look like one of my brothers, I cannot call you human animal, because an animal would not do what you have done for such a long time. Mother Nature has given you a perfect world: vegetation, animals, land, water, sky, air and all its elements in place, the entire planet in harmony. What have you done in return? You have wasted and destroyed it; you have destroyed me, my brothers and my world. Every day, I suffer when you chase me and hunt me for pleasure or sport, not for necessity. You steal my only shelter , my skin from me. You have settled in my home, my habitat, and destroyed it to build yours; you have killed all the animals you think dangerous for your cattle and yourselves. You have felled my trees, which were my refuge and my food. You have introduced foreign species of plants and animals which have changed my habitat. There are not rainforests where there used to be! You have poisoned the air and the water with weed killers, pesticides and other toxic substances. As a consequence, brothers of mine are born malformed or die before they can see the sunlight. You have polluted me and spoiled my soil. What you do not realise is that the world is so devastated that we are already witnesses of terrible catastrophes due to severe climate changes. Your own kind is at risk of extinction and we, animals, continue dying, unnoticed… Despite your best efforts to “help” us, you have confined us to zoos and circuses, where people mock at us. On behalf of all animals I say it is high time for you to do something for us and for yourselves. We want to live freely, enjoying our habitats. We want you to live in harmony with Nature. No more invasions. No more death. I only wish you wisdom to be able to see the terrible things you have done to the Earth. I do hope that day will not be too late!!
Activities on the article:-Try to infer the meaning of the underlined words. Then look them up in the dictionary.
