Boozing?? What does it mean? What is the difference with 'drinking'? Why should we stop boozing in January?
Yes, some people believe that we should do it during this month in order to keep healthy and make our body recover from all the Christmas excesses.
Here's a listening exercise to do and some articles to read about the issue:

The big bottle As you said, it is also FALSE that the police are afraid teenagers..., because it is the city councils the ones that are afraid ("cautious"). They accept 'repair, mend, fix' as opposites of BREAK. TO COME ACROSS S.O./STH is to meet or find s.o. or sth. by chance (example: "I came across this book in a second-hand shop")

ResponderEliminarBoozing? What does it mean ? It means drinking alcohol, especially in large quantities. What is the difference with “drinking”? As nouns the difference between drinking and boonzing is that drinking is an act or session by which drink is consumed, especially alcoholic beverages while boozing is the act of drinking heavily.
EliminarIt is an open secret that at the begenning of a new year a lot of peple decide to do their best that year. Owing to this fact, it very common to see on social media how they make a list of resolutions for the year that it is coming.
A great amount of these resolutions are related to healthy life style, for example: taking up yoga classes, going to the gym or stopping boozing. Why should people stop boozing in January? I reckon that they should do it in order to make their body recover from all the Christmas excesses.
To conclude, I would like to add that I believe that there is nothing wrong with drinking occasionally, but it can turn out to be a serious issue if someone does it everyday, especially if it is excessively.

In our day-to-day lives, it is a widely-known fact that alcohol is quite present in our lives. After Christmas holidays, many people decide to give up booze for the next month in the hope that it will do them some good. However, is it effective quit drinking and stay dry for only 30 days?
ResponderEliminarTo start with, most of teens go always to a lot of parties, and there, they have alcoholic drinks. Lately, it is very ordinary to see younger and younger children vomiting and ambulances treating them. Youngsters usually drink to be sociable and not to be distinguished from the rest.
Another fact is that in every special occasion we usually drink alcohol, especially on Christmas holidays and then, they decide quit drinking in order to improve the health and save some money. Furthermore, sobriety helps you sleep better, although many people use drinking as a crutch. Apart from that, the resolution of staying dry during January isn’t effective unless you keep on at least 66 days.
Taking all into account, nowadays there are such long amounts of campaigns against drinking and more real cases are shown on television so as to concern parents not to drive drunk and not to allow their children consume alcohol. This is a worldwide problem that many people are involved in and as long as we are concerned of it, we will reduce deaths and damage as a result of alcohol.

ResponderEliminarJane Eyre is a story written by Charlotte bronte, published in 1847 by Smith, Elder and Company who got great popularity encumbrando to the author as one of the best romantic novelists, and is today considered a classic of literature in English.
ResponderEliminarThe novel was initially titled Jane Eyre: an autobiography and published under the pseudonym of Currer Bell. It had immediate success, as for readers as critics. One of its most staunch defenders was the writer William Makepeace Thackeray, to whom many attributed the work, because the author remained anonymous until a time after its publication. As a thank you, Charlotte dedicated the second edition of his novel to him. It can become an autobiography, since the author had a secret love with a Belgian professor named Constantin Heger. The novel is considered one of the first feminist stories.
Jane Eyre has had several adaptations to the cinema. One of the most modern dates from 1996, in which we can find the award-winning Anna Paquin (playing Jane Eyre as a young man) or Charlotte Gainsbourg, as well as Geraldine Chaplin and William Hurt. But this is not the most famous adaptation of the novel to the cinema, since Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine starred in a film well remembered in classical cinema, characterizing Rochester and Eyre, respectively.
In 2007, the BBC made an award-winning series on the story. In 2010 and 2011 she was taken to theater in Dublin by Michael Colgan, starring the singer Andrea Corr. In 2011, a version directed by Cary Fukunaga was premiered, starring Mia Wasikowska in the title role of the play, an actress who is remembered for her starring role in Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton.

The difference between drinking and getting drunk is very simple,
ResponderEliminardrinking is an act by which yes, you can drink alcohol but with a limit you can also drink other types of drinks such as soft drinks, and getting drunk is drinking so much alcohol that you are not able to know what you are doing.
This is very bad because it can cause commas and especially accidents, accidents after drinking alcohol are at such a high rate that there is more and more and not the other way around.
The mixture between any drink can also be very bad and if it is mixed with designer drugs or any type of substance that can make you feel better or that your head goes away it can end up causing death in an extreme situation.

ResponderEliminarTaking large amounts of alcohol is bad for your health, as it affects a large part of the body.
Today a large part of the population consumes alcohol in a non-moderate way, this is occurring more often in young people, which will have greater risk of diseases in a series of oraganos.
In my opinion this should only be consumed in adults and in a moderate way.
Jane Eyre is a novel about a love story where the protagonist named Jane falls in love with a rich man named Rochester. Despite the fact that both had a hard time being together, they finally got married at the end of the book.
ResponderEliminarThe book tells us the story of a young woman named Jane Eyre who lives with her aunt and her cousins in her Gateshead Hall who abused her. When Jane was ten years old, Mrs. Reed send Jane to Lowood where Jane studied and met her friend Elena Burns. Later, Jane accepts a job as a governess for a French girl named Adèle at Mr. Rochester's house in Thornfield. There, she met Rochester and fell in love with him. However, on the day of the wedding two people appeared at the church who said that Mr. Rochester was already married to a woman named Bertha. Therefore, Jane she didn't want to marry him and she fled from that place to be away from Mr. Rochester, who hadn't told her that he was already married. Later, Jane was given accomodation by the Rivers family because she hadn't money when she realized they were her cousins. So, when her uncle died, she shared her inheritance with them. Finally, Jane decided to return to Thornfield, to search for Rochester, where she learned that there had been a fire, because of which Rochester was left blind and had his hand amputated. However, Jane wanted to be with him and they finally got married.
Last but not least, I am going to talk a little about the author of the book. Charlotte Brontë was born on April 21, 1816, in Yorkshire, England. After her mother died, she was sent to Cowan Bridge boarding school with her two older sisters who were also writers. Charlotte worked as a teacher and governess before collaborating on a poetry book with her two sisters, Emily and Anne. Her experiences at this school as poor living conditions are reflected in the first part of her novel, Jane Eyre which was published in 1847. The first novel she wrote, The Professor, was published posthumously in 1857. In 1854, Charlotte married Arthur Bell Nicholls. One year later, she died on March 31, 1855 in Haworth, Yorkshire, England.
From my point of view, this is a very interesting book. I really enjoyed reading this wonderful love story with very captivating moments. I have to admit that it is one of the few books that I have read in English that I liked and I would read it again. Therefore, I recommend it to entertain ourselves on cold winter nights. In addition, I think this novel is more interesting than others because it is set in the 19th century.
’’Jane Eyre’’ by Charlotte Bronte is one of the best books you can ever read. The setting for this novel is in the northern England countryside and the fictitious villages of Gateshead Hall, Lowood, Millcote, and Moor House during the 19th century. In this novel, we get to recognize the conflicts between love and independence, conscience and passion, and the struggle of a young girl and woman to maintain her self-esteem.
ResponderEliminarConcerning the author, Charlotte Bronte was an English novelist and poet, and the eldest of three Bronte sisters who were all writers. Born in Thornton, Yorkshire, in 1816, Charlotte's father was an Irish Anglican clergyman. After Charlotte's mother died of cancer in 1821, the clergyman and also father had no time to care for his daughters. Therefore, in August of 1824, he sent Charlotte with her two sisters to the Clergy Daughter's School at Cowan Bridge in Lancashire. This school became the basis for Lowood School in the novel Jane Eyre. Bronte then continued her education at Roe Head in Mirfield 1831-1832 and became a teacher there between 1835-1838. During the period 1843-1844, Charlotte attended a language school in Brussels, Belgium, where she fell in love with a married professor at the school. This life experience is strongly shown in Jane Eyre in the relationship between Jane and Mr. Rochester at Thornfield Hall.
The main character of the story is Jane Eyre, a nine-year-old orphan, who is being raised by her maternal aunt, Mrs. Reed. The story begins with Jane telling her life story in the first person. She relates how as an orphan since being a baby, she has been raised by her maternal uncle's wife, Mrs. Reed. Recently she has been treated very cruelly both physically and emotionally by her aunt and cousins. Later, her aunt decides to send Jane to a boarding school for orphans at Lowood School. After being a model student and surviving a typhoid epidemic at the school during her first year, Jane graduates from Lowood six years later and stays two more years as a teacher.
Later, shortly after finding work as a governess at Thornfield Hall, Jane starts to find some real happiness in life. She is entrusted with educating the ward of the master of Thornfield Hall, Mr. Rochester, a man of about 40. After formally meeting Mr. Rochester and numerous hours spent talking together, Jane truly falls in love with him. However, a series of bizarre and spooky events occur at Thornfield Hall which forces Jane to leave and seek her fortune in another place.
All in all, ‘’Jane Eyre’’ is an exciting and captivating love story. What’s more, the early sequences, in which Jane is sent to a boarding school in Lowood, are based on the author's own experiences, which makes the story even more interesting.
Jane Eyre is a novel written by Charlotte Brontë, published in 1847 by Smith, Elder & Company, and is today considered a classic of English-language literature.
ResponderEliminarThe novel's setting is somewhere in the north of England,
At the beginning of the novel, Jane is a 10-year-old orphan girl who lives with her rich aunt and her three cousins with whom she does not have a good relationship.This is a love story where the protagonist fights for her loved one despite the difficulties presented to her
It is a Bildungsroman (a literary genre that focused on the moral growth of the protagonist from childhood to adulthood), and tells us all the good and bad things that happened during her life, until her adulthood.
Concerning the author,She was an English novelist and poet; sister of the writers Anne and Emily Brontë.Charlotte Brontë was born on April 21, 1816, in Yorkshire, England.
She had 5 siblings: Emily Brontë, Anne Brontë, Maria, Elizabeth and Branwell.Charlotte's father was an Irish Anglican clergyman.. When her mother died (23 September 1821), her aunt helped her father raise her and her brothers. Charlotte and three of her sisters They were sent to a school, the Clergy Daughters School, which was an inspiration for her novel Jane Eyre.
There, two of her sisters died of tuberculosis, so she and her sister Emily were sent home. Some time later, Charlotte went to another school, Roe Head School, in England, and became a teacher. Charlotte worked as a teacher and also worked as a governess before collaborating on a book of poetry with her two sisters, Emily and Anne. .
In May 1846, the three sisters published a joint collection of Poems under the pseudonyms of Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, also recognized by Shirley (1846) and The Professor (1857). which was published two years after her death.
The first novel she wrote, "The Professor," was published posthumously in 1857. In 1854, Charlotte married Arthur Bell Nicholls. A year later, she died on March 31, 1855 in Haworth, Yorkshire, England.
Jane Eyre was written in 1945 and was very successful.
We can say that she was inspired by her own life to write Jane Eyre, because there are many similarities between them, for example, she was sent to a school when her mother died, or that she also became a teacher and governess as Jane.
The book tells the story of a young woman named Jane Eyre who lives with her aunt and her cousins in their Gateshead Hall, who abused her. When Jane was ten, Mrs. Reed sent Jane to Lowood, where she studied and met her friend Elena Burns. Later, Jane accepts a job as a governess for a French girl named Adèle at Mr. Rochester's house in Thornfield. She there she met Rochester and fell in love with him. Later, shortly after finding work as a governess at Thornfield Hall, she begins to find true happiness in her life.
After many events, Jane ends up marrying Mr. Rochester and they have a family.
From my point of view, the novel "Jane Eyre" is a gripping and captivating love story. From my point of view, this is a very interesting book. It is a book that I would recommend because it tells us everything that Jane goes through after the death of her parents, what Jane's life is like after everything that happened. It is a cruel and miserable story, with moments of passion and love. It is a love story, but being set in the 19th century makes it different and captivating.
