Morning to everyone!

Now that Christmas is almost here, today we are going to work on a special song. As you know, songs help us improve both our listening and speaking skills. In case you are following this class from home, in the following link you can download the worksheet to fill the gaps on it.

WORKSHEET

First, read all the verses and the chorus and try to predict the type of words that might fit in each one of the blanks. This strategy helps you with your listening skills. After reading it, it is time to listen to the song! 

You can listen to it as many times as you need or wish. After that, compare your answers with the following video that shows the lyrics.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Hi there!

Did you know that Santa's Reindeer names are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and Rudolph? Here you have a song about the most famous one! 

Lyrics

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen.
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall
the most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer 

had a very shiny nose. 

And if you ever saw him, 

you would even say it glows. 

All of the other reindeer 

used to laugh and call him names. 

They never let poor Rudolph 

join in any reindeer games. 

Then one foggy Christmas Eve 

Santa came to say: 

"Rudolph with your nose so bright, 

won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" 

Then all the reindeer loved him 

as they shouted out with glee, 

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, 

you'll go down in history!

Hope you like it!

WORKSHEET

Lights on the trees under falling snow

You get a bit closer when a winter's cold

Now I can't wait 'til you're by my side

All of the best gifts, you just can't buy

Wherever you go, you light up the room

I hope that you'll make it back home soon

'Cause it won't feel like Christmas without you

I wish we were kissing under mistletoe

The stars on the sky just can't match your glow

Now I can't wait 'til you're by my side

We'll be warm by the fire all night, ohh

I wanna hold you while the bells are all ringing

Want you to be here while the angel's singing

Days are perfect when I got you near

My only wish is you here

Wherever you go, you light up the room

I hope that you'll make it back home soon

'Cause it won't feel like Christmas without you

Wherever you are, you brighten the Moon

I hope that you'll make it back home soon

'Cause it won't feel like Christmas without you

(Without you)

We could be outside dancing on the moonlight

Watching the sky roll over our heads

We could be inside trying to sing the lines right

Laughing until we fall out of bed

So when I wake up on Christmas Day

I hope the first thing I see is your face

Wherever you go, you light up the room

I hope that you'll make it back home soon

'Cause it won't feel like Christmas without you

Wherever you are, you brighten the Moon

I hope that you'll make it back home soon

'Cause it won't feel like Christmas without you

(Without you)

It won't feel like Christmas without you.

Hope you like it!

Prepositions: Across vs. Through

Hi there!

As I told you, here you have some extra resources in order to fully understand the difference between "across" and "through". First of all, let's watch this video, it's very illustrative!

Besides, the following image will help you to notice the difference between them:

Finally, here you have a written explanation in case you need further information about them:

a. Movement: When we talk about movement from one side to another but ‘in something’, such as long grass or a forest, we use through instead of across:

- I love walking through the forest. (through stresses being in the forest as I walk)

- When my dog runs through long grass, it’s difficult to find him. (through stresses that the dog is in the grass)

b. Time: When referring to a period of time from start to finish, American English speakers often use through where British English speakers say from … to/till …:

- The office is open Monday through Friday, 9 am–5 pm. (preferred British form: from Monday to Friday)

I hope you find this useful. See you in class!

En la clase de ayer elaboramos la tarea y en la de hoy hemos realizado las presentaciones orales. Aquellos/as alumnos/as que no han podido asistir, expondrán sus trabajos cuando se incorporen. 

Además de esto, el resto de actividades que hemos realizado las podéis llevar a cabo de forma online a través de los siguientes enlaces:

World Book Day!

Happy World Book Day and happy reading to everyone!

The World Book Day is almost here!

Morning to everyone!

Mañana es un día especial e importante porque ¡es el Día del Libro! Leer es muy importante porque nos permite sumergimos en otros mundos donde podemos aprender miles de cosas, ¡por eso no podía faltar un día del libro en el calendario!

Para celebrarlo vamos a trabajar todos y todas para hacer una tarea de investigación. Quiero que penséis en vuestro libro favorito: ¿cuál es el título?, ¿quién lo escribió? Cuando sepáis esos datos quiero que busquéis información sobre ese libro, tal vez vuestro libro favorito fue escrito en otro idioma. 

Os propongo averiguar si vuestro libro favorito existe en inglés y que diseñéis en un folio o cartulina una nueva portada para ese libro incluyendo en ella el título en inglés y el nombre del escritor o escritora. Yo os puedo ayudar a buscarlo o, si no existiera en inglés, os puedo ayudar a traducirlo si me escribís las dudas en la sección de comentarios.

En clase mostraremos las portadas que hemos creado y haremos una recomendación sobre estos libros para que otros puedan también descubrirlos.

Para daros un ejemplo yo os voy a hablar de mi libro infantil favorito. Fue escrito en francés por Jérôme Ruillier y se titula "Quatre petits coins de rien du tout" que en español es "Por cuatro esquinitas de nada". Así es su portada:

Afortunadamente existe también en inglés como libro electrónico, o ebook, y se titula "Four little corners". Esta es su portada:

Y aquí podéis escuchar la historia en inglés:
