Hotel ‘Caliente’ Barcelona
Sea, sun, sand, seclusion and Spain. You can have all these at a price, that is hard to believe, when you visit the new hotel ‘Caliente’. Set in cool palm-fringe grounds but only twenty sun-soaked steps from the beach. This new luxury hotel looks out on a magnificent sweep of the Costa Brava, you will only have one point of view about the rooms when you consider their carpeted comfort and their crisp neat individual decor and the rooms have only one point of view about the sea, towards it.
Bask on the balcony! You can still keep an eye on your children even if they won’t come in from that beach. And in the evening explore the excitement of our uniquely varied menu. No need to hurry either. A special microphone baby sitting system sees to that!
If you haven’t heard enough already to start you reaching for your pen remember the swimming pool, and the Cabaret, and the room-service! Oh, and the price! You certainly won’t forget that! Write for details to the manager!

Peculiarities of the drama
I. Input materials.
1.1. Rhetoric strategy
It may seem strange that drama should be considered to be of any use at all – other than as relaxation and entertainment. But it is being used, and abused in many other and varied ways. To inquire into these is not to deny its function as a means of enjoyment. Greater understanding of its nature and potential as a means of human inquiry and expression should, however, facilitate the appreciation of its importance and help to enrich the quality of the entertainment we look for.
Beauty depends, in speech as in any other art, on the truthfulness with which the mind is presented, and this truthfulness depends in its turn upon mastery of the instrument. Speech has two instruments, language and voice, and command of both is required if speech is to be beautiful. A lovely voice cannot convey every shade or meaning if the speaker is very limited in vocabulary, nor can a nice mastery of words reproduce the speaker’s mind if his utterance is faulty.
A person’s pronunciation may be impeccable according to accepted usage, and yet the voice may still grate harshly upon the ear; or a speaker’s individual way of saying certain words may be criticized, while the underlying tone, which may be rich and resonant, passes unnoticed.
The stylization of colloquial language is one of the features of the language of plays. The playwright seeks to approximate, a natural form of dialogue or monologue, a form as close to natural as the literary norms will allow. It results in abbreviation, temporizers, overlappings that are frequent in plays. Intonation as well as other aspects reflects the intermediate position of the drama between emotive prose and spontaneous speech.
