Book Fair 2015

INTRODUCTION

The book fair is the most important place, where you can find a variety of publishers and buy books which are cheaper than in bookshops. The fair is situated in at Palermo, in La Rural and it is 41 years. The book fair begins from the 23rd April to and ends on 12nd th May.

During the first few days, the fair is not open to public, because the owners of the publishing houses and people, who work there, are meeting for business and they explain what their employers have to do in the fair. Then, people can go to visit the fair. This place is well worth visiting because students, teachers and people who want to enjoy reading or they can do different activities, for instance, stands and lectures.( ?)

The seventh of May we met went there searching for useful material for us to develop our classes. The first place we visited was the information stand. There we received the map of the place, a newspaper that contained the most suitable information and some brochures related to the schedule´s of the fair. It was divided into different sections which were called streets. Each street had a different colour and a different number. that indicated the place where you wanted to visit. There, we went to the English publishers´stand to check in the materials they were offering this year. Among them we could find Richmond Editorial, Macmillan, Ediba, Pearson and Kel Ediciones,. It was the crowdest place, where we found some interesting teachers´magazines and two of ower our teachers. Unfortunately we were not very welcomed well, the personal   staff were very busy trying to sell their products to the people, so we could not interrupt them very much with our questions.
After that, we decided to go to the other section and we had to pass through a tunnel. In these sections, we could find the most important activities like lectures, the stands of different editorials. The most important radios had their transmissions with their journalists in the air.

Apart from that, there were some stands which offered to us some courses. So, we completed a paper with our details and then they splained why it was important to us to do the course. Later, the promoters gave us some presents.
