In our real world, do we still have this kind of characters? Tell me about someone who may be similar either to Robin Hood or James Bond.
What do you know about Robin Hood? Here is a good listening exercise to discover this character, but if you want to have further details about him and the city of Nottingham at the end of this That's English programme: Module 9 / 8b. (Remember you've got a page on my site with all the links to the different chapters).
Here's another interesting listening exercise about James Bond: Licence to kiss .
And finally, what about listening to two songs connected with these two fictional characters?
'(Everything I do) I do it for you' by Bryan Adams and 'Skyfall' by Adele.
Robin Hood was an English archer of the Middle Age who stole the money from the rich people and gave it to the poor. He was a very kind man and he also faced the king and the sheriff from Nottingham. This legend was used in many films and books like Robin Hood Outlawed, In the days of Robin Hood.
ResponderEliminarJames Bond, whose nickname is agent 007, is an English secret agent who is the best in his job. He kills everybody who they order. He is also very attractive and in all films he appeares with a different woman. He always lives on the edge.
All in all, both of them lived in England and they fought for the justice and equality of every people. I think nowadays we need someone like them to catch the corruption, the thieves and the injustice.

ResponderEliminarThere have been many characters in our history like Robin Hood or James Bond, that have taught us the good values of life and that have also been local heroes, because they have fought against the rich people that stole money from the poor. In actuality, James Bond is still one of these characters that promote these types of values. In fact, soon there will be a new James Bond’s film. However, do we still have these local heroes in our minds? Have we got a little local hero in our everyday life?
ResponderEliminarFirstly, it’s a well-known fact that these types of heroes had a lot of influence in the past, because there were no TV and no Internet, so to do revolutions against the rich, they needed to believe that a hero like Robin Hood for example, was supporting them in another part of these wars. I don’t know if they really existed, but perhaps it was true that someone did similar things and after his death, he became a myth, even if we couldn’t testify it.
And what do we know about them? Well, Robin Hood was an English archer of the Middle Age who stole the money from the rich and gave it to the poor. It’s said that he was a very kind man and that lived in the wild forest of Nottingham fighting even against the king. Another character is James Bond, or 007, an English secret agent who is the best in his job, because he kills everybody who is ordered. People think that is the perfect English gentleman because of his look, but in reality he’s a bit womanizer.
All in all, I reckon that before there were more local heroes that people believed in than in our days, because now our politics are more corrupt and we have less local heroes. At least, now we can decide “the king” that is going to steal our money.

ResponderEliminarRobin Hood is a legend who was born in England in the thirteenth century. He lived in the city of Nottingham and Sherwood Forest.
ResponderEliminarRobin was a thief who stole from the merchants and rich people to give money, food to poor people, for this reason I think is a hero although steal is wrong, but does so with a good heart.

I listened the two songs and I prefer Adele's song.

-------------------Robin Hood-----------------
ResponderEliminarRobin Hood was the legendary bandit of England who stole from the rich to help the poor. The stories about Robin appealed to common folk because he stood up against and frequently outwitted people in power. Furthermore, his life in the forest hunting and feasting with his fellow outlaws, coming to the assistance of those in need seemed like a great and noble adventure.
Stories about his life and adventures first appeared in the late 1400s was originally associated with several locations in England. One was Barnsdale, in the northern district called Yorkshire. The other was Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire, where his principal opponent was the vicious and oppressive Sheriff of Nottingham. Robin's companions included Little John, Alan-a-Dale, Much, and Will Scarlett.

Robin Hood
ResponderEliminarWas a legendary English hero who stole money from rich people and ecclesiastics to deliver some of the things that he stole to the needy and oppressed people.
The story is placed between the end of the XIV century and principles of the XV, it is doubt if it was a real or a legendary personage. In the story, he is described as a hunter who lived in the royal forests of Sherwood in Nottinghamshire and Barnsdale in Yorkshire.
Nowdays there´re millions of people like him, people who give his own money, clothes, even organs, to help other people, but we prefer don´t recognise them as they´re, real heroes

James Bond
ResponderEliminarIs a fictional character created by Ian Fleming, Bond had his first appearance in 1953, but he has also appeared in many films, novels, even video games.
Bond is a Secret Service agent with code number 007 who resides in London, but he is active all over the world. Along all the books and films, we can see that James Bond likes cars, he loves food and drink and he has an obsession for smoke.
There have been 26 Bond films which seven actors have played Bond in these films.
As I said He´s a fictional character, and we won´t probably never know if there´s or there was someone like him in real life, because he is a spy, but, in my opinion there was, He´s Jason Bourne, whose has also many films and novels which are based on true story
