Make and do

La diferencia principal entre ambos verbos es que DO normalmente
implica que hablamos de actividad sin precisar de cuál se trata, o bien
hablamos de trabajo, mientras que MAKE conlleva la idea de creación o
construcción.

do

good, harm, business, one's best, a favor

make

an offer, arrangements, a suggestion, a decision, an attempt, an effort,
an excuse, a mistake, a noise, a phone call, money, love, war, peace, a bed

Por supuesto ambas listas no están completas.

Tailchaser's Song

Hoy voy a dejar que sea otra persona la que hable aquí comentando una novela que ha leído hace poco y que cuenta las aventuras de un intrépido gatito llamado Cazarrabo (Tailchaser). Silvia de 4º de ESO opina sobre los personajes y la novela en cuestión a través de un trabajo presentado en clase:


CHARACTERS.

The main characters who take part in this adventure are:

FRITTI TAILCHASER: he is the main character the is very young, brave and determined.

POUNCEQUICK: she is an hyperactive little kitten who goes with Fritti to rescue Hushpad.

EATBUGS: he is a dun cat who accompanies Fritti. He is old and quite mad.

ROOFSHADOW: she is a young and elegant female cat who helps them in their search.

HUSHPAD: she is Fritti’s cat friend. She has soft fur and she is very beautiful.

QUIVERCLAW: he is the prince of hunters. He is Fritti’s friend.

FENCEWALKER: another hunter who helps Fritti.

HEARTHEATER: he is the villain in the piece. He is a black lord who represents darkness.

PERSONAL OPINION.

I like Tailchaser’s song because the characters are cats and you can feel like cats do and cats think they are the most advanced species. They look at humans from the point of view of a cat. I also like the story but I think it is a bit boring and slow, specially the part of the hill.

Other thing I don’t like of this book is that it shows dogs as bad animals and I love dogs.

The cat’s beliefs are very interesting and it is one of the things I like most from the book, they think humans came from cats, and that the moon is a cat’s eye.

The end is very predictable, during the novel you can see that Eatbugs is more than he looks.

I like the fact that Fritti is not the typical hero who saves the situation alone, he helps the others.



Y hasta aquí la opinión de Silvia, como vereis, dice muy claramente lo que le pareció bueno y malo de la novela, que es lo importante de comentar un libro. Bueno, basta por hoy, la próxima creo que será The Time Machine de H.G. Wells.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadios.
