WHY READ?

Why do you think we read¨? There can be many reasons and we explored some of them on this video:

INSPIRATIONAL STORIES

Do you know any inspirational stories???? Or anything in your life that has somehow inspired you or from which you have learnt an important lesson???? Let’s watch these videos and see what you learn from them: THE FOUR WIVES

VALUE: AN INSPIRING LESSON

THE PHILOSOPHY PROFESSOR

And they even come with a LISTENING COMPREHENSION WORKSHEET :   VIDEO COMPREHENSION INSPIRATIONAL STORIES 1ST YEAR ADVANCED

I hope you have learnt a lot and not only English!!!!! Now I am dying to watch your videos and have a look at your stories about them!!!!! Enjoy your long weekend!!!!! See you on Wednesday!!!!!

A STORY WITH A MORAL: THE STONECUTTER

 The other day we thought about stories with a moral, finally listening to the story “THE STONE CUTTER”, which seemed to have a very nice moral, that power is not real, it is just an illusion and that sometimes what you are looking for may be inside you.

Besides, this story came with a worksheet to work on your listening comprehension. In case you want to listen to it again and even read the story at the same time or if you couldn´t go to class and would like to hear it again, here it goes the link and the worksheet:

LISTENING TO A STORY THE STONE CUTTER

THE HISTORY OF THE SMURFS

We saw this interesting and entertaining video about the history of these blue creatures, the smurfs, so as to learn more about them.

The video came with this worksheet to check your comprehension:

And remember that we did a very interesting video about the HISTORY OF THANKSGIVING!!!!

IF YOU WERE A SAILBOAT…

The other day we did a wonderful song, which was also extremely useful taking into account that it is full of second conditional sentences. I hope you enjoyed it!

I thought you may feel like listening to it again! There it goes!

And, especially to Marcos (who asked me for them) or to whoever may wish to sing along, here you have the lyrics:

REMEMBER, REMEMBER, THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER

Why??? Because it is Guy Fawkes’day. In order to know more about this festivity, we watched a video in class and answered some listening comprehension questions.

In case you want to watch it again and go through the questions once more, there it goes:

I’VE NEVER SEEN STAR WARS

Do you recognize this photo????

Yes, it belongs to the reading “I’ve never seen star wars” that you had to read for homework.

Well, I thought it would be a good idea for you to watch one of the real programs in order for you to fully understand what it consists of and why not, to improve your listening skills.

There it goes!!!! This is actually the first chapter and it comes in 3 parts, but I am just providing the first: . If you see it and like it, you can watch the whole chapter!!! The part about the book “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” is absolutely hilarious!!!! And the part about judo is…!!!!

So what things would you dare do for the first time in your life????
