Editorial
Dear students,
Welcome to the first issue of LCB News 2016! As you
may already know by now, we are interested in offering
you as many opportunities to use English as possible.
Actually, you will find that the more activities you
engage in, the more confident you will feel about the
language and the more your English performance will
be enriched.
We are looking forward to working with you and
introducing you to our many extracurricular activities
so that you can make your pick: blogs, virtual
classroom, radio programme, guided visits to places
of interest, theatre outings, free conversation courses,
this magazine, you name it!
Remember that all these instances for using English
were thought for YOU, so do make use of them as often
as you can. You will feel that, as with any other activity,
learning a foreign language is also a matter of exercise,
so let´s train together!
Experts say that if you learn something with pleasure,
you will remember it more easily. That is why we are
eager to invite you to learn and have fun with us, to make
things happen and commit yourselves to mastering
this wonderful language.
In case you haven’t made up your mind yet, let me share
two more tips with you:
• By participating in any of the activities offered, you will
have the chance of meeting new people who share the
same interests as you. This means you will be able to
make new friends and socialize with new mates.
• You may even discover a hidden talent in you. What
if you end up being a poet, a lyrics writer, or a creative
genius? Give yourselves a try!
New opportunities to challenge yourselves and surprise
your friends with your contributions are waiting for you.
Your poems, articles, crosswords, anecdotes, games
and stories will be always welcome and you will feel the
thrill of being published.
Together with all the LCB staff, I wish you an exceptionally
good year full of learning, joy and growth. Thank you for
being part of this experience.

EVITA AND JUAN DOMINGO
Juan Domingo and Evita were the ultimate political power
couple. They became one of the most beloved political
couples of the era.
On January 15th 1944 an earthquake occurred in the town
of San Juan, Argentina, killing some 10.000 people. In
response, Peron, who was then the Secretary of Labour,
devised a plan to have an artistic festival as a fundraiser,
and invited radio and film actors to participate. After a
week of fundraising, all participants met at a gala held at
Luna Park Stadium. It was at this gala that Eva Duarte first
met Colonel Juan Peron. They got married in 1945.
Eva Perón was the second wife of the Argentine president
and the first lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death
in 1952.

Pets provide people with relationships that

something that humans just can’t provide.
Perhaps it is the simple distinction that pets
are non human that makes the human pet

On Saturday, April 23rd, we all remembered the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death in 1616.
Here are a few reflections, both by teachers and students, on his life and works… as well as a handful of his
productions!!!!! Enjoy!!! / Ivana Gambarrutta
FA MOUS L I N ES FR OM T H E P L AYS A N D SO N N E TS
SHAKESPEARE'S PYS
Hamlet
To be, or not to be: that is the question.
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and, by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub.
For in this sleep of death what dreams may come….
There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it
so. -Hamlet
There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than
are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Conscience doth make cowards of us all.
Henry
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberedWe few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
08
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
Romeo and Juliet
Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.
Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast.
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Macbeth
Fair is foul, and foul is fair,
Hover through the fog and filthy air
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
What’s done cannot be undone.
Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble!
Stars, hide your fires;
Let not light see my black and deep desires.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Lord, what fools these mortals be!
Much Ado About Nothing
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.
Let me be that I am and seek not to alter me.
As You Like It
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exists and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
Julius Caesar
Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.
Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus; and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs, and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves.
Men at some time are masters of their fates.
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
but in ourselves, that we are underlings.
Et tu, Brute? Then die Caesar
Othello
O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-ey’d monster, which doth mock
The meat it feeds on.
The Merchant of Venice
All that glistens is not gold;
Often have you heard that told:
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms enfold.
The Merry Wives of Windsor
Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.
The Tempest
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
What’s past is prologue.
All’s Well That Ends Well
Oft expectation fails, and most oft there where most it
promises.
SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS
SONNET NUMBER 2:
When forty winters shall besiege thy brow,
And dig deep trenches in thy beauty’s field,
Thy youth’s proud livery, so gazed on now,
Will be a tatter’d weed, of small worth held:
Then being ask’d where all thy beauty lies,
Where all the treasure of thy lusty days,
To say, within thine own deep-sunken eyes,
Were an all-eating shame and thriftless praise.
How much more praise deserved thy beauty’s use,
If thou couldst answer ‘This fair child of mine
Shall sum my count and make my old excuse,’
Proving his beauty by succession thine!
This were to be new made when thou art old,
And see thy blood warm when thou feel’st it cold.
SONNET NUMBER 12:
When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silver’d o’er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer’s green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing ‘gainst Time’s scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.
SONNET NUMBER 15:
When I consider every thing that grows
Holds in perfection but a little moment, T
hat this huge stage presenteth nought but shows
Whereon the stars in secret influence comment;
When I perceive that men as plants increase,
Cheered and cheque’d even by the self-same sky,
Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease,
And wear their brave state out of memory;
Then the conceit of this inconstant stay
Sets you most rich in youth before my sight,
Where wasteful Time debateth with Decay,
To change your day of youth to sullied night;
And all in war with Time for love of you,
As he takes from you, I engraft you new
SONNET NUMBER 18:
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 dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
SONNET NUMBER 64:
When I have seen by Time’s fell hand defaced
The rich proud cost of outworn buried age;
When sometime lofty towers I see down-razed
And brass eternal slave to mortal rage;
When I have seen the hungry ocean gain
Advantage on the kingdom of the shore,
And the firm soil win of the watery main,
Increasing store with loss and loss with store;
When I have seen such interchange of state,
Or state itself confounded to decay;
Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate,
That Time will come and take my love away.
This thought is as a death, which cannot choose
But weep to have that which it fears to lose.
SONNET NUMBER 116:
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Teenage students at LCB Quilmes attended a
workshop called “Shakespeare’s Day” to celebrate
the lasting legacy of the world’s greatest playwright.
After learning about Elizabethan theatre and social
life they set out to adapt two of his classics into
modern times…
This is how “Romeo and Juliet” became a comedy
and “The Tempest” a script for HBO.
ROMEO AND JULIET
This story takes place in Verona, Italy, where two families that
live in the same building fight all the time. The reason?
The Montagues steal wi-fi signal from the Capulets and the
Capulets steal cable television from the Montagues.
The person in charge of the building, named Sally, warns both
families that if they go on fighting they will sleep on the street
and she will call the police.
One of the main characters is named Romeo Montague. At the
beginning of the play, Romeo tells his cousin, Benvolio, and his
friend, Mercutio, that he is sick with love for a girl who won't love
him back. Benvolio and Mercutio encourage him to forget about
her and go with them to a costume party at a Capulet’s flat.
They know it will be dangerous because they are Montagues,
but they think it will be fun.
Old Capulet wants his party to be a happy place for love to
blossom, so when his nephew, Tibalt, tells him that there are
Montagues at the party, Capulet demands that Tybalt leave
them alone to enjoy the party.
While Romeo is at the party he meets Juliet. He falls instantly
in love with her and is sad to hear that she is the daughter of
his family's enemy. Romeo decides to risk his life and asks for
her cellphone number. When Juliet follows him on Instagram,
Romeo finds out that Juliet is in love with him too.
They chat on whatsapp and make plans to secretly get married
even though their families are enemies. The next day Romeo
and Juliet go to Friar Lawrence who agrees to marry them.
Friar Lawrence hopes their marriage will help to bring peace
to the families.
On the way home from the wedding Tybalt, who is still angry
because the Montagues came to the party, challenges Romeo
to a duel dance in the street. Romeo refuses to fight him but
Mercutio agrees to dance with him. Tybalt instead Romeo tries
to stop the fight and accidentally gets on the way. Suddenly a
car hits Mercutio.
Romeo is so angry and sad because Mercutio is in hospital that
he agrees to dance with him and then the same car hits Tybalt.
Benvolio begs Romeo to run away from Verona so that Sally
can't kick his family out.
Juliet is sad to hear of her cousin's accident, but she is even
sadder to hear that her husband, Romeo, must leave Verona.
She has another problem too. Her family doesn’t have anymore,
so now she is bored and alone.
She goes to Friar Lawrence for advice. Friar Lawrence gives
Juliet a special type of poison. The poison will make her fall
into a very deep sleep, but everyone will think she is dead.
Friar Lawrence plans to send a message to Romeo so that he
comes back to Verona and meet Juliet when she wakes up in
her funeral, then they can leave the building and be together.
Juliet follows her part of the plan, but something goes wrong.
Friar Lawrence's whatsapp makes it to Romeo but he doesn't
answer back, instead, Romeo hears that Juliet is dead. Romeo
returns to Verona.
He goes to Juliet's funeral very happily because he knows that
Juliet is alive, and when Tybalt sees him, he gets angry and
starts to follow Romeo on his wheelchair. Then Romeo tries to
explain that Juliet is alive but nobody believes him, until Juliet
phone starts to ring and she wakes up.
When the Montagues and the Capulets learn what happened
with their children they agree to end the years of fighting.
And Juliet and Romeo move in together and have their happily
ever after.

CLASSICS ARE THOUGHT
What difference is there between Harry Potter
and Don Quixote? Well, for once, Harry does not
seem to be as crazy as the Spanish pseudoknight, but, of course, one should say there are
more differences than similarities between them.
Yet, the public has gone crazy for Harry and only
a select few have felt the same for Don Quixote.
Still, the latter is as adventurous as the young
magician, so, in a way, Harry Potter fans should
thank Cervantes for the antecedent. Adventure
stories begin with Don Quixote. That is how Alice’s
Adventures in Wonderland emerges, also mocking
( as Cervantes did before- though in a more
linguistic tone) adventure stories and tales of the
like. Then Tim Burton comes along to destroy the
magic. The film becomes no mockery, dissolves
the irony, and creates a story of real adventures
where language has very little more to do than
the famous, inescapable, “Off with her head!!!” of
the impulsive, egocentric, ironically dis-heartened
Queen of Hearts.
The way in which some films and contemporary
literature have done away with the art of their
originators is lamentable and must needs be
mended. The greatness of Cervantes stems from
his capacity to have mocked knightly writings of
his time as they were considered mind rottening
enough to make a subject like Don Quixote believe
that reality had an virtual hue. Is not the epic
element in the cinematographic version of Alice
the same sort of damaging mechanism on its
audience’s thought? Why should there battles in
films for them to be deemed entertaining? Can’t
the latter be summoned by thought? By raising
questions upon our social order? By understanding
the mise en abyme technique that we find both in
Alice and in Don Quixote and becoming dazzled
by its effects of multiplication ab aeternum? Well,
yes, of course it might, but for that to occur, we as
a social body should begin to develop a gusto for
mind challenges and a desire for our parameters to
be shaken. Until we learn that our life as subjects is
more than a mere repetition of routinous behavior
we will keep on getting literature of the Harry Potter
kind, and films of the Burton flavor.
You might be cozy in your comfort zone but, is it not
worth the while to plunge into the abyss of thought
and its marvels? Give the classics a chance and
delve in the wonders of mind challenging views.
Life is way more than the mask it shows us in the
effortless routine of our monotonous everydayness.

CAE REVIEWS
Movies
for a twist
Students from the CAE course in Flores used characters from different
films and created their own scripts. Then they reviewed those movies.
“Merged Characters”
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to
chose all your favourite characters from different
movies and be told a story with all of them put
together? Well, if you have, and like science fiction
you should probably watch these two stories:
“Casino Voldemort” and “I am a Father”.
In “I am a Father”, Lara Croft, an intelligent and
dynamic archaeologist, while researching in the
tombs of Egypt, finds a boy who was holding a toy.
She then realizes it wasn’t just a normal toy, it could
speak and move and his name was Woody. All of
a sudden, Darth Vader appears claiming that the
toy is his, and then a fight starts with the incoming
Spiderman. This story is well written due to the
excellent narrative style and it has a unique way of
catching the audience’s attention because of the
well-known leading actors.
On the other hand, in “Casino Voldemort”, James
Bond is dating Princess Leia and his old envious
friend, Voldemort, who lives in outer space, orders
to cast a spell on a dinosaur in order to kidnap
Bond’s girlfriend. This story has a romantic focus
and shows Voldemort’s soft side in his desire to
have a girlfriend.
While the moral in “I am a Father” is that family
comes first, in “Casino Voldemort” it is that one
never really knows people in depth. So, if you are
looking forward to watching an entertaining film, I
strongly recommend seeing either of these two.
Fiona Wilensky
HAVE
A LOOK!
“Something New”
It is incredibly shocking to have the honour of being
sitting on the front row of a cinema watching a film
where Lord Voldemort, James bond, Princess Leia
and the amazing T-Rex from Jurassic World work
together as main characters in the newest Steven
Spielberg’s film, “Casino Voldemort”.
On the plus side, we are used to being surprised
by all Spielberg’s films, and “Casino Voldemort”
isn’t the exception. The special effects, which
were developed by Scott Farrar (known by
“Transformers”), keep the audience’s attention the
whole film. The dialogues between Lord Voldemort,
played by the great Shakespeare interpreter Ralph
Fiennes, and the leading actor Sean Connery, in
the skin of the famous secret agent James Bond,
showed the unconscious purpose of the script
writer to give the characters a deeper interpretation,
different from previous films.
On the negative side, it seemed that there was no
coherence or cohesion in some scenes from the
plot. As an example, according to a few colleagues
of mine, the relationship between Voldemort and
Leia was unimaginable but curious until T-Rex
came up trying to kill both of them. That last scene
was not expected by most of the audience and did
not improve the film.
All in all, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending
“Casino Voldemort”. An interesting development
and shocking character interpretations make an
excellent combination for a fantastic film.
Adrián Urrutia
“Casino Voldemort”
Have you ever thought about a film in which characters
from any kind of genre should perform? Well, yes, that IS
possible, and has already been made. The next two films
will be released in our country. The first one is called
“Casino voldemort” and the second, “I Am a Father”.
To begin with, in “Casino Voldemort” the legendary
James Bond, who is played by a renewed Tom
Hanks, marries Princess Leia. Everything goes well
until an envious Voldemort and a dinosaur appear
on stage. This film is fairly long but, without doubt,
you will be at the edge of your seat waiting to see
what will happen at the end.
On the other hand, “I Am a Father” is rather a
parody. Angelina Jolie lets us down with a poor
performance as Lara Croft, who is working in the
Egyptian pyramids, when she suddenly finds a little
toy. Yes, you know who it is. The first apparition of
Darth Vader changes the plot. Actually, this movie
had a huge budget but in my opinion the director,
James Cameron, did not do his best.
To sum up, both movies are worthwhile. However, if
you want to save money, “Casino Voldemort” will be
a good option. Maybe these films will open the door
to a different kind of cinema.

Flores from Lit to Beat
CAE DID IT AGAIN!
Students from the CAE course in Flores were shown a number of images from a novel by
George Eliot and they had to use at least three of them to write a song. Also, they were
required to use a number of ways of laughing, looking and walking. Hard job! But look at the
poetic results!
Tonight by the fireplace
We sing the old song
Of the girl who sold her soul
Wishing to be happy
While in the fog she got lost.
Every day working at the loom
Making the fabric for her dresses
She would never wear
Staring at a life that wouldn’t be
Without realizing she was getting closer
to the cliff.
One sad evening of frosty windows,
Detestable Death turned up.
Limping by the side of her loom
To offer a deal she could not resist
Her soul was taken by the mist.
Richness at the moment was the good
Her soul when decided was the price
Death cackled while she squinted
The coins at the end of the rainbow
She could not see the trick.
The richer she was the poorer she felt
Owner of a thousand dresses
She lost her dreaming eyes
She led a life of grey concern
For matters never endingly vain
And when the moment of her burial
came
Isolation shrouded her decayed smile.
Silvina
He lurched after the girl.
When Thomas reached Gina
They stared at each other for a moment
Then he offered a safe drive home to
her
Because her heavy load would not let
her pace the way.
She willingly accepted and they both
walked away
The night was rich with comfort
The future bearing a family one day.
14
The rainbow turns up
And everyone’s surprised
It was me growing up
And finally facing real life.
Adolescence is a hard time
Your friends jeer at you
Dead horses come alive
It’s your life you’re going through.
Antonella, Fiona, Guadalupe.
Hard times always come
You should stagger and dance
Like a skeleton at night.
Once upon a time
There was a man
He was limping through life
He had a goal, a dream to fulfill
The rainbow he wanted to reach
And owzn the gold hidden in it.
Even though you may stagger
Move on and keep dancing
Life comes in different flavours
Pick one and enjoy your ride.
Staring at the rainbow was a girl
With eyes the colour of the sky
With which she squinted at the distance
A man too old to walk
As straight as the man could
He reached the end of the rainbow
Where he found an incredible treasure
Elderly people can fulfill their dreams
As much as the rest of us can
Or maybe in a greater measure.
Michelle Bondar, Micaela Wall and
Nicolás Taurozzi.
Gina and Thomas met one night
And fell in love at first sight
After a couple of drinks
She had to leave the party they were at
And frightened by the idea
Of never seeing her again
She started staring at him
Baby, do you know what I mean?
“Keep on Dancing”
One day in the field
Mom and dad were having a meal
“Cackling in the Rainbow Inn”
It was just about another rainy night
Not many people were coming in
But at the distance in the Rainbow Inn
A horse approaches galloping.
An old man goes down strangely
He is certainly staggering
Is he drunk? Is he tired?
Don’t know but at something he is
staring.
Is it me? Is there something about me?
Then his horse seems to be cackling
What can it be? I am getting angry.
I will show them in front of
what a nice lady they are standing.
Pablo and Fernanda.

Air is necessary because we need oxygen to breathe. Air is stored in: oxygen tanks, balloons, balls,
tyres. The atmosphere is the layer of gas that surrounds Earth. The atmosphere provides oxygen
that we need for living, protects the earth and regulates the Earth’s temperature.
WHAT DO THE GASES DO?
● They protect us from the
ultraviolet rays.
● They make the Earth a perfect
place to live.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THERE WAS
NO ATMOSPHERE?
● Meteors would crash against the Earth.
● Ultraviolet rays would reach the Earth.
● We would have no air and no life.
THE ATMOSPHERE LAYERS
The atmosphere has five layers.

TROPOSPHERE
● It’s the lowest layer of the atmosphere.
● It extends to 7km (Poles) 17 km (Equator).
● It’s the most dense.
● Temperature: drops from 17 to 52°C
● It is also known as the weather layer (there is rain, wind and snow here).
STRATOSPHERE
● It starts above the troposphere.
● It extends to 50 km.
● It’s dry and less dense.
● Temperature: goes up to 3°C because it absorbs the ultraviolet radiation through the ozone layer.
MESOSPHERE
● It starts above the stratosphere.
● It extends to 85 km.
● Temperature: drops from to 93°C.
● The chemicals are in a excited state (because they absorb energy from the sun.
● This is where meteors burn up.

EXOSPHERE
(ALSO KNOWN AS THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE)
● It starts above the mesosphere.
● It extends to 600 km.
● Temperature: goes up to 1727 °C.
● Chemical reactions happen faster than in the surface of the Earth.
● It starts 640 km above the Earth.
● It’s the highest layer.
● Here helium and hydrogen are the main components.
