TO REVISE FOR YOUR EXAMS!!!

I have found something very interesting for you to practise grammar and vocabulary and also very useful to revise for your exams. This activity was in Isabel Perez's site. She is an English teacher in Granada that has spent many years investigating how to take advantage of the use of new technologies in class.

It is a very original exercise (it's like a game) in which you have to go from one place to another by underground (you are going to work with the real London Underground's map). In every stop you have to do an activity before you move to the next one and finally arrive to your destination. Try to complete all routes!!!!! It's very funny!!!

TO MY STUDENTS OF 3º ESO

As our first unit of the book is about music and one of your partners (Victor 3ºB) recommended me a very interesting video, I've decided to include it here so that you can watch it too and tell me your opinion about it.



-Do you think this can be considered music?
-Do you know why it is called 'beat box'?
-Do you like it? Do you consider it interesting?
-Do you really think a person is able to do it? Is it real?
-Do you think it is difficult to do or not?

I'll wait for your answers!!!!
Thank you for your collaboration and interest, Victor.

A NEW CHAPTER OF GOMAESPUMINGLISH!!!!

Hello again my dear students!!!

I've just created this entry to present you a new chapter of 'gomaespuminglish'. I would like you to watch it and tell me your opinion about these videos (remember I included another chapter in one of the first entries of my blog - you will find it if you go to the end of the page and click 'entradas antiguas'-): do you consider them interesting? do you think they are funny? do you understand them or do you think they are a bit difficult? would you like to watch more chapters?

WELCOME BACK!!!!

Welcome back my dear students!!!!

Here we are again after a long, long holiday to work and learn all together and why not? to have fun as well.

As most of my students this year didn't know about the existence of my blog (and also Chari's and Rosario's), I would like to explain them that these blogs have been created for them to practice and improve their English in an original and funny way.

You can use the blog as a way to communicate with other students and the teachers. To do that, you just need to write comments about the activities proposed.

Here you also have access to different activities related to vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, etc so that you can practise and revise contents for your exams.

Participation is obviously optional but I will take into account those students that show interest in improving their English and also their marks.

In this first entry I would like you to tell me something about your holidays: where have you been, what have you done, if you travelled anywhere, etc.

Also I would you to tell me your ideas, your likes and dislikes , suggestions so that you can help me with the blog, making it more interesting for you.

The most interesting thing I did this summer was travelling to London and Dublin. I already knew London but not Dublin. It's wonderful. I really recommend you to visit Ireland. It's an amazing country with wonderful landscapes. Here you can have a look at some pictures I took during my holidays there:

I'LL MISS YOU ALL!!!!

As the other teachers, I also wanted to say goodbye to all the students, especially to the students in 4th ESO in general (and of course to my students of 4º A).

I'm very sad because I know I'm going to miss you and the good moments together in class.
Thanks for your visits to my blog and thanks for your interest and your collaboration. I hope you have liked and enjoyed it.
I hope to see you next year (if you want to come to the high school to visit me).
If you need me, I'll be very glad to help you if I can. (First Conditional-Jajajaja!!!).
I hope you have learnt some English with me. It's been a pleasure to be your English teacher.
Good luck to all of you and take care!!!!!
Have a nice holiday!!! Now it's time to relax, at last!!!!

I'LL MISS YOU ALL!!!!!

PS: I forgot to give you my email address. I'll give it to you on Wednesday during the lunch we are going to have together.

FINALLY I ALSO WANTED TO DEDICATE YOU ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS THAT TALKS ABOUT MISSING SOMEONE.

Here are the lyrics. They are a bit difficult because the song is written in American English.

I hope you like it!!!.

Yeah... this right here (tell me why)

Goes out, to everyone, that has lost someone

That they truly loved (c'mon, check it out)

Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show

I laced the track, you locked the flow

So far from hangin on the block for dough

Notorious, they got to know that

Life ain't always what it seem to be (uh-uh)

Words can't express what you mean to me

Even though you're gone, we still a team

Through your family, I'll fulfill your dream (that's right)

In the future, can't wait to see

If you'll open up the gates for me

Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend (uh-huh)

Try to black it out, but it plays again

When it's real, feelings hard to conceal

Can't imagine all the pain I feel

Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)

I know you still living your life, after death

Every step I take, every move I make

Every single day, every time I pray

I'll be missing you

Thinkin of the day, when you went away

What a life to take, what a bond to break

I'll be missing yo

It's kinda hard with you not around (yeah)

Know you in heaven smilin down (eheh)

Watchin us while we pray for you

Every day we pray for you

Til the day we meet again

In my heart is where I'll keep you friend

Memories give me the strength I need (uh-huh) to proceed

Strength I need to believe

My thoughts Big I just can't define (can't define)

Wish I coul turn back the hands of time

Us in the six, shop for new clothes and kicks

You and me taking flicks

Makin hits, stages they receive you on

Still can't believe you're gone (can't believe you're gone)

Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)

I know you still living you're life, after death

Every step I take, every move I make

Every single day, every time I pray

I'll be missing you

Thinkin of the day, when you went away

What a life to take, what a bond to break

I'll be missing yo

One black morning

When this life is over

I know

I'll see your face

Every night I pray, every step I take

Every move I make, every single day

Every night I pray, every step I take
Every day that passes

Every move I make, every single day

Is a day that I get closer

To seeing you again

Every night I pray, every step I take

We miss you Big... and we won't stop

Every move I make, every single day

Cause we can't stop... that's right

Every night I pray, every step I take

Every move I make, every single day

We miss you Big

Hello again!!!

I just wanted to show you what some of my students of 3º D have done in their free time: they have translated some popular Spanish songs into Spanglish.

At least it is original and creative, don't you think so?
