contemporary American writer . The book is about not forgetting the ones we care about and the strength of real , enduring love .
8- Have you ever thought of writing your own book ? I have thought of writing a book for a long time . I guess I will do it when I retire … or when I get the spark that is needed to write a book .
9- How was your experience organizing the book day ? Was it difficult ? Easy ?
Book Day is always a rewarding experience . I enjoy having the chance to share what I do with more people , and trying to encourage my students to read more . This year , we also had the opportunity to share our work with the whole community at the cafeteria where we read a poem by Pablo Neruda . It was especially moving to see my students there supporting the activity . It is not a matter of “ easy or difficult ”; it ’ s a matter of having time to do all we need to do the best way possible .
10- How much time did it take to you to prepare the event ? A month and a half .
11- How do you select the people who work with you ?
Actually , I don ’ t select anyone . The beauty of this and the main objective is to have volunteers to do everything , from the posters to the final show . And this is for students and for teachers . This year , teacher Mariela Castillo prepared some students for the show too , and I hope next year we will count on the support of more teachers and more students as well . We need everyone to take part in this . We have artists in our career , for example , and they are fundamental in this kind of activities .
12- What would you like to do for the next English week , book day , etc ?
Teacher Mariela Castillo and I have been thinking about a musical . It would be a great challenge and a wonderful opportunity to develop speaking skills in our students and get to know more about the talents they have . And it would be so much fun !
Thank you very much for your attention ! Anytime , dear . Plus , I feel like a movie star …
