Star Trek, The Motion Picture: the first was the best

  
The greatest science fiction series ever made just turned one year older last Friday, September 7. The story of Star Trek spans for centuries in the future and gives us a somewhat slightly optimistic vision of our fate as a species, describing the existence of a Federation of Planets to which Earth belongs to. A civilization that has learned of the tragedy and pain caused by past mistakes and lives now under a strict code of respect to whoever and whatever is different. It is a society that has successfully made the transition to spacefare and regularly sends starships to explore the universe with the Enterprise being the most important of those.
Each version of the Enterprise (there have been more than one)  has accopmplished great deeds thanks in no small part to the crews that have worked in each one, some of them legendary like the crew of the original series. Names such as Captain Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Scotty and others are now part of the pop culture. There have been other series  and a number of movies that tell the story of the Enterprises and their crews encompassing a saga that makes those who love Science Fiction just desire for more. 
I know that there are those who would argue that the Star Wars are as good or even better than Star Trek: I love Star Wars and I admit that they are definitely more popular but they are more a huge story os space swordsmen, cowboys and power-thirsty dark lords, a wonderful one at it but not real Science Fiction. Here is an example:
With no previous warning an all powerful entity appears in the space of the Federation of Planets. Nothing can stop its relentless and silent voyage to Earth . The entity calls itself Vger and announces that is ready to sweep the Earth looking for "The Creator", a mysterious being that apparently exists in Earth but does not show itself to Vger. The Enterprise crew is sent to invesitgate and discover the staggering nature of Vger, a being that effectively comes from Earth and its way to the universe was changed in a way that grew and perfect itself to have godlike powers. Its return to Earth indicates that Vger is looking in The Creator something that Vger itself cannot get on its own device. The answer to what Vger really is, what it is searching for and what is going to happen after that is just so amazing that you cannot anything but wonder where Alan Dean Foster, the writer, got the idea for this story.
I have seen plenty of other SCI FI movies and series but like that, very few are as good.

"Hmm, why do I have this nagging feeling that someone is watching me watching?" In Spanish, a MIRADOR is any place that allows a privileged view of the surroundings. In English, a MIRADOR is a VIEWPOINT or a LOOKOUT. Another possible translation is VANTAGE POINT, though in a tourist context this term is a bit less common.

The Maps of Ship-Trap Island

Image
Once I had my high school students read The Most Dangerous Game, a short story by Richard Connell. Rainsford, the main character, is a professional hunter traveling by ship to his next hunting area, accidentally ends up in an island called Ship- Trap island. When he goes into the island he finds there are two men living in a palace in the island. One of them is a Cossack general and the other, his brutish servant.  The Cossack is called general Zaroff who is also  a game hunter but has become bored of hunting regular game and now uses the island's unique position to capture sailors from shipwrecks. He lets them go first and next after some time he hunts them down. Rainford's arrival who is worldwide famous presents Zaroff with a rare opportunity to find excitement in hunting again by hunting another hunter. Little does Zaroff know that Rainsford is The Most Dangerous Game in the World and hunting him will not be easy at all. My students enjoyed themselves at reading

How do you say EXAMEN SUPLETORIO in English?

Darn! I wonder if there's a Make Up exam for this Make up exam! I remember that long ago I asked my distinguished and knowledgeable colleagues of that time to enlighten me and tell me the right English word for what we know in Ecuador as EXAMEN SUPLETORIO or EXAMEN DE RECUPERACION.  After hearing Recovery exam or Supplemenary test and even Supletory exam, I was not convinced so I decided to go to a higher authority and looked up one of those encyclopedic dictionaries from Oxford or Cambridge university (these were the pre-browser times) and found the right expression is MAKE UP EXAM which is taken when an exam has been missed or when a student needs to change one score with a more favorable one. The British say RECUPERATION EXAM which is perhaps more practical since to some people the term Make Up is confusing. Make-up is the word for the wearing of cosmetics. There are Make-up tests which are oriented to future Make-up artists.
