1 The Crumpet had eluded the authorities for a whole year and had not been caught yet. What's more, exactly a year had passed
since the Crumpet's first robbery on December 31. Since then, the Crumpet had already committed four thefts, leaving different
objects at each site: the first one was a crumpet, and since then, the police gave the thief this alias. Then were left a scone. a
bowler hat, and a teacup-all so terribly British. But this time, Inspector Morley and his faithful assistant Nikita were one step
ahead. They made a plan to capture the Crumpet in the act. They had received a tip from Scotland Yard, the headquarters of the
London police. Apparently, the Crumpet intended to strike again on New Year's Eve at Lord and Lady Byron's New Year's Eve party
that gathered the wealthiest and most powerful people in Britain.
2 There were hundreds of guests that evening all wearing costumes and masks, but more importantly, they were wearing their
most expensive jewelry and accessories. There were guests dancing in the ballroom while others were chatting in the Grand Hall.
Guessing where the Crumpet would strike was impossible, but Inspector Morley had a theory. He believed the Crumpet would not
expose himself by robbing at the actual party and that, instead, he would try to steal Lady Byron's valuable tiara from her safe.
The detective's plan was to hide with Nikita in the library, where the safe was, to wait for the Crumpet to show up. Inspector
Morley was hiding behind the curtain while Nikita was hiding under the desk by the safe.
3 The clock was announcing the end of the old year and the beginning of the new one when a short slim figure, dressed in black
and wearing a mask climbed in through the library window. It was pitch-black, but Inspector Morley and Nikita were wearing
special nighttime-vision eyeglasses. The thief walked up to the safe and was about to open it when Nikita jumped and started
struggling with the robber. At that moment, Inspector Morley tapped the Crumpet on the shoulder and very politely exclaimed,
"So sorry, old fellow." and proceeded to use the tip of his umbrella to spray the robber's eyes with pepper spray.
The next day the newspaper headlines were all about the notorious Crumpet, but not about how Inspector Morley and Nikita had
caught this infamous thief, but about the fact the Crumpet turned out to be a "she" and not a "he." To everyone's surprise, all
these months, it had been a woman evading the authorities all along.

La primera intervención francesa en México
Trasfondo: La Guerra de los Pasteles
por Alicia Juárez
Durante el siglo XIX, los franceses atacaron México dos veces. Estos dos
conflictos se llamaron más tarde "Las intervenciones francesas". La
primera Intervención francesa fue breve y no tuvo demasiadas
consecuencias graves. Esta primera intervención ocurrió en la primera
parte del siglo XIX. En ese momento, había muchos dueños de negocios
franceses viviendo en México y tenían muchas tiendas y restaurantes,
particularmente en la Ciudad de México.
En 1838, el embajador de Francia en México presentó al presidente
Bustamante una reclamación de 600 000 pesos por los daños que habían
sufrido los ciudadanos franceses durante los disturbios de 1828 en la
Ciudad de México. Estos disturbios fueron protestas violentas contra
los resultados de las elecciones presidenciales que aún no se habían
decidido, y muchos negocios en la Alameda de la Ciudad de México
fueron robados y destruidos en la confusión. Por ejemplo, cuando
Bustamante estaba leyendo los reclamos, encontró uno hecho por un
panadero francés. Este panadero dijo que había perdido 60.000 pesos en
pasteles. A Bustamante le pareció absurdo y no le pagó al panadero.
Como resultado, en
La flota francesa llegando a Veracruz.
El 16 de abril de 1838 se ordenó a la flota francesa de Martinica bloquear
el puerto de Veracruz hasta que se llegara a un acuerdo. Esto
significaba que ningún barco podía salir o llegar al puerto.
El bloqueo había durado siete meses cuando el comandante de la flota
añadió otros 200 000 pesos a la reclamación para cubrir los gastos del
bloqueo; además, ordenó un bombardeo de Veracruz. Después del
primer bombardeo, Bustamante accedió a pagar la deuda en su
totalidad y la flota francesa se vendió. Desde entonces, los
historiadores se han referido a este incidente como la "Guerra de los
Pasteles".
The Second French Intervention in Mexico
The Final Years
By Antonio Macias
The French reinforcement troops that came finally defeated the Mexican
army on May 31, 1862. Juárez escaped to San Luis Potosi as soon as the battle
ended. The Conservative Party was pleased with these events. They had not
supported the liberal government and wanted to have a monarchy in
Mexico. The Conservatives gladly offered the throne of Mexico to
Maximilian of Habsburg, Maximilian was proclaimed the emperor of Mexico
in 1864 with the support of Napoleon III.
The new government repeatedly tried to capture Juárez. As a Consequence,
Juárez hid in the north of the country from 1864 to 865. During the conflict
between Mexico and France, the USA was extremely busy with a Civil War
(1861-1865). For this reason, the USA could not help Juárez stop the French
invasion. In 1865 things started Eo change. Juárez began to have some
successful battles against Maximillian's army and the Civil War in the USA
ended. As soon as the Civil War ended, Juárez received support from the
USA.
During the government of Maximilian, people in France were clearly
unhappy about all the money Napoleon III was spending excessively to fight
Juárez and keep the emperor in the throne. For this reason, in 866 Napoleon
III ordered his troops to retire from Mexico. Maximilian had no support and,
as a consequence, his troops were defeated n 1867. A few months later,
Maximillian was executed. La Segunda Intervención Francesa en México
Painting of Benito Juárez Los años finales
IN By Antonio Macias
Las tropas de refuerzo francesas que llegaron finalmente derrotaron al ejército mexicano el 31 de
mayo de 1862. Juárez escapó a San Luis Potosí tan pronto como terminó la batalla. El Partido
Conservador se mostró complacido con estos hechos. No habían apoyado al gobierno liberal y
querían tener una monarquía en México. Los conservadores ofrecieron con gusto el trono de
México a Maximiliano de Habsburgo, Maximiliano fue proclamado emperador de México en 1864
con el apoyo de Napoleón III.
El nuevo gobierno intentó repetidamente capturar Juárez. Como consecuencia, Juárez se escondió
en el norte del país de 1864 a 865. Durante el conflicto entre México y Francia, Estados Unidos
estuvo muy ocupado con una Guerra Civil (1861-1865). Por esta razón, Estados Unidos no pudo
ayudar a Juárez a detener la invasión francesa. En 1865 las cosas empezaron a cambiar en Eo. Juárez
comenzó a tener algunas batallas exitosas contra el ejército de Maximiliano y terminó la Guerra
Civil en los Estados Unidos. Tan pronto como terminó la Guerra Civil, Juárez recibió el apoyo de los
Estados Unidos.
Durante el gobierno de Maximiliano, la gente en Francia estaba claramente descontenta con todo
el dinero que Napoleón III estaba gastando en exceso para luchar contra Juárez y mantener al
emperador en el trono. Por ello, en 866 Napoleón III ordenó a sus tropas retirarse de México.
Maximiliano no tuvo apoyo y, como consecuencia, sus tropas fueron derrotadas en 1867. Unos
meses después, Maximiliano fue ejecutado.

56 Debates
Language Use and Form
Debates are discussions about a topic or debate statements (a sentence that
states what will be the focus of the discussion). There are usually two sides:
one that supports the topic and one that opposes it. Rules should be
established before the debate. Some students or the whole classroom can
act as judges and determine a winning side, based on their knowledge,
preparation and logical arguments.
Debates usually open with the team that supports the resolution. This team
presents their arguments and is followed by the opposing team. The pattern
is repeated as follows:
1 The first member on the supporting team presents favorable arguments.
(2-5 minutes)
2 The first member on the opposing team presents opposing arguments (2-5
minutes). 3 The second member on the affirmative team presents additional
arguments and answers any question
raised previously by the opposition speaker: (2-5 minutes)
4 The second member on the opposing team presents further arguments and
answers questions. (2-5 minutes)
5 Then the opposing team begins with the rebuttal, trying to defend the
opposing arguments (2-5 minutes) 6 The affirmative team gets their rebuttal
opportunity. (2-5 minutes)
7 Each team get a second rebuttal opportunity for closing
statements. (3-5 minutes)
There cannot be any interruptions. Speakers must wait their turns.
When the formal debate is finished, allow time for a brief discussion. The
students in charge of judging the debate should be given time to ask
questions and express their own thoughts. Assessment of the debate should
be conducted at this time
