A Ghost Story: The Black Cat
The Association of students of the Cornella's EOI has organized this year the workshop "A Ghost Story" to celebrate Halloween. Finn McLafferty told us a famous horror story: The Black Cat.
"The Black Cat" is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. I knew "The Tell-Tale Heart", a similar story by Poe, but as I didn't know "The Black Cat" I could enjoy a chilling mistery.
I met my classmates Anna and MªJosé and we enjoyed the story together. Ghost stories can be fun when the storyteller is good and knows how to immerse you in the story.

gallows /ˈɡæloʊz/ a wooden frame used for killing criminals by hanging them from it with a rope around their neck -> horca

Let's go 3rd course!
We've started the 3rd course with many changes.
Our new teacher Daniel loves American English and hates British English so we need change our mind... and our pronunciation! I've decided to start by changing the look of my Art Dossier as well.
I feel sorry for saying goodbye to Scarlett O'Hara, but I found a very iconic image that could inspire me. I hope so.
