That's the way Sean Connery used to ask for his Martinis when he played the role of James Bond.
Interesting fact: Connery was a keen footballer, having played for Bonnyrigg Rose in his younger days. He was offered a trial with East Fife. While on tour with South Pacific, Connery played in a football match against a local team that Matt Busby, manager of Manchester United, happened to be scouting. According to reports, Busby was impressed with his physical prowess and offered Connery a contract worth £25 a week (equivalent to £703 in 2019) immediately after the game. Connery admits that he was tempted to accept, but he recalls, "I realised that a top-class footballer could be over the hill by the age of 30, and I was already 23. I decided to become an actor and it turned out to be one of my more intelligent moves."
However, we are actually SHAKEN by the terrible piece of news about the death of this famous Scottish actor (former football player and member of the Royal Navy) and which has been broadcasted
all around the world. Watch the news as given in different channels:

Sean Connery has been a great actor. I have not seen any of his films but my mother always says that he was the best James Bond she has ever seen.

In which his role is to be the captain of a Soviet Union submarine that wants to reach the United States and change sides.
A legend of the movie world has died.

I have never seen I film of Sean Connery, but I have heard a lot of time his name, I think that the most popular film that he has play is "James Bond" os "The Untouchable". I haven't seen any of this films, but my parents, may brother and most of my family has watched. This films are too old, and they aren't too good compared with the actually films, but in the years that they were released in cinema they were excellent, otherwise they wouldn't be so successful.
ResponderEliminarTo have role ones of the best movies of the world, Jean Connery has to be so good acting, I think that the most of the people know who is, if they haven't seen theirs films they should know who he is, because he is execellent as an actor.

Sean Connery it's a great actor . He has got brown eyes , a beard and a moustache . He is bald and tall. His death will leave a small void in the Indiana Jones films. In my opinion the Indiana Jones films had their grace with him. I'll still like the first Indiana Jones movies even if he's gone. Javier Rivas López 2ºESO A .
ResponderEliminarIt will be true that something new is learned every day, and today I just realized through this article that Sean Connery is the protagonist of the well-known movie `` James Bond '' and the movie `` The Untouchable ´´. The latter I have no idea what it is but surely coming from this great actor it must be a great movie. It would be very interesting to ask some familiar information and how is the movie `` The Untouchable '' because coming from this great actor it must be a movie.
ResponderEliminarThe movies of today do not have the same quality as the films of the past, although some without having the same quality as those of now are just as good even better if possible, because they continue to triumph with great success.
Sean Connery is apparently a very good actor because he has made many great films with great international successes and also interesting to watch.

After reading the comments of my schoolmates, I would like to add some comments myself (=Unit 2 reflexive pronouns):
ResponderEliminar-Sean Connery lived in Marbella for lots of years, although the experience didn't end very well.
-For my mum Sean Connery will always be William of Baskerville in the film The Name of the Rose.
-The pronunciation of "Sean" is very different from its spelling. Some people spell this name "Shawn" (like the singer Shawn Mendes). Another name that has two spellings but it has the same pronunciation is Steven / Stephen.

He was famous for his character James Bond. He was a world renowned actor. He received many awards and recognitions. He has a lot of movies.

I have been recommended to see it. He recently died at the age of 90 years.
ResponderEliminarFrancisco José Prados Espinosa 2ºA
I have never heard the name of this actor or his experiences with soccer but from what I have been able to read it is the best thing he could do and dedicating himself to the cinema was the best decision he could make. Sean Conery won an Oscar and three balloons of gold and was very famous in his time. These movies are too old and not too good compared to movies now, but in the years they were released in theaters they were excellent, otherwise they wouldn't be as successful.
ResponderEliminarTo have roles in the best films in the world, Jean Connery has to be a very good actor and he was the best in his time, I think most people know who he is, if they have not seen his films, they should know who he is, because he is excellent as an actor
SERGIO GARCÍA LÓPEZ 4ºA
Sean Connery was a great movie actor best known for his best-known film Indiana Jones. His roles in Indiana Jones were impressive and the movie would not have been the same without him. This actor left very recently and I hope his family is happy after what a good actor he was and what a good person he was. I think that Indiana Jones fans will have been left with a void without their actor.
ResponderEliminarDunia Arnedo Martín 2ºA
Sean Cornnery was one of the best actor of UK, he had done a lot of films, mythical as "Agent 007" where he played role of "James Bond" that is paper with that he did famous in the film industry, he did a lot of times of James Bond.
ResponderEliminarA lot of people think that Sean Connery was the best James Bond of the history of the films, and I agree with this opinion, I din't see all of the films of Sean Connery, but yes that I have seen some films of James Bond, and I think that there isn't any who can interpret better this paper that he.
I don't Know a lot of his live, but yes that I know that he stayed a little of was a profesional football player, when the president of the Manchester United offered he $25 the week to play in tha Manchester United, but he said that one profesional football player any that can stay in the profesional football until the thirty years and that he was twenty-three years and in this moment was when Sean Connery decided to work of actor, because one actor can stay doing films all of his life, whether acting or directing his own film.
I think that in this time he took the correct decision, but I think that if pass in this time, he would have chosen to was a football player, because nowdays in the profesional football you can win more money and you can retired more late if you have a good physical, and with the money that you can win in this years, you din't need work more to live very good.
I think that Sean Connery was the best James Bond of the history and one of te best actor that the world can see.
Sean Connery was a very famous actor in the 70's, 80's and 90's, in my life I have seen some movies by Sean Connery, the most famous of them agent 007, my father liked them a lot so I watched them with him when I was a child.
ResponderEliminarThe truth is that I never knew who the actor in that film was but when I found out that it was Sean Connery and that he had recently died I felt a little sad because I was entering that stage of my childhood.
Researching about him I also realized that he has appeared in movies like Indiana Jones, the untouchables, the rock etc...
I have heard of Sean Connery many times, but in my opinion his old films are very bad compared to those of now, because they have no color and the quality is very bad. I saw a movie of hers as a child with my grandparents, because they like them very much. My grandfather's dream was to meet him in person.
ResponderEliminarSean Connery deserves more recognition than he has, because he was a very good actor in his day and he has acted in some very good movies.
María Romero Rodríguez 4º A
I've seen some Sean Connery movies but didn't know his name. Sean Conery won an Oscar, two BAFTAs and was very famous in his day.
ResponderEliminarI think that movies from before are not as good as they are today as the quality has improved a lot in recent years.
But Sean Conery deserves more recognition for being a very good actor in his day.
Denisa Andreea Tomoroga 4ºA
I have seen some Sean Connery films, almost all of his films are action films with a lot of adventure and those are my favorite films because they are so exciting and you never know what is going to happen.
ResponderEliminarSome movies I have seen of him have been: zero atmosphere and operation thunder.
I also like james bond movies because of the work that one of my favorite movies does about him. They are live and let die and diamonds are forever.

I have seen some Sean Connery films ,but I didn't know what his name was. Most of his films are really adventurous and this kind of films are the best for me because they are usually so exciting.
ResponderEliminarI have seen a lot of the James Bond films like Moonraker, spectre or skyfall and I like so much the old film , I love the films wich haven't got any colour. My cousin is fan of James Bond and He went to USA only to take a photo with him, He got the photo but He had to look for James Bond for three months.
In my opinion the old films are better than the new ones, the old films are more interesting than the new ones but I admit that the picture quality has improved a lot in this decade.

I've seen some Sean Connery movies, but I don't know his name. Most of his films are very adventurous, and these kinds of films are the best thing for me because they are usually very exciting. I've seen a lot of James Bond movies, like "Lunar," "Ghost" or Heaven's Fall. I really like this old movie. I like colorless movies. My cousin is a James Bond fan, he went to America just to take a picture with him, got it, but he had to look for James Bond for three months. In my opinion, old movies are better than new movies and old movies are more interesting than new movies, but I admit that image quality has improved a lot over the past decade.

I haven't heard much about Sean Connery, but I have informed myself a bit in my opinion his old films are very bad compared to now, since before the quality was poor and they did not have the colors that are now. I saw a movie of hers when I was little with my grandparents, because they liked them so much. Despite their low quality, considering their age, Sean Connery's films deserve more recognition than they are, because he was a very good actor in his time and has acted in very good films.
