Summer Songs

Dear students,
This is my favourite way to say Goodbye and Happy Summer!

 "Here comes the sun" The Beatles

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darling
It's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darling
The smiles returning to the faces
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
(bis)

Little darling
I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
It's all right, it's all right

Let's continue with some poetry, what's a Haiku poem? Read the following one

A summer river being crossed

how pleasing

with sandals in my hands!

Golden beach

sandcastles touch the sky

childhood memories

The origins of haiku can be traced back as far as the 9th century. Haiku is more than a type of poem; it is a way of looking at the physical world and seeing something deeper, like the very nature of existence.

A haiku poem consists of three lines, with the first and last lines having 5 moras, and the middle line having 7. A mora is a sound unit, much like a syllable, but is not identical to it. Since the moras do not translate well into English, it has been adapted to where syllables are used as moras.

I would enjoy to see you face off in a twist on the card game WAR, where the loser of each hand faces wet consequences, but we should go to the playground...; )

Jimmy and Zac Efron face off in a twist on the card game War, where the loser of each hand faces wet consequences.

1º F 1st Conditional You Can count on me Bruno Mars

The formula for the first conditional is as follows:

If + present simple…, will + base verb…

OR

Will + base verb… if + present simple..

“If you make dinner, I’ll do the dishes.

“I’ll do the dishes if you make dinner.”

Note that both the IF CONDITION and the RESULT can also be negative.

If you don’t do the dishes, I won’t make dinner.

If you don’t do the dishes, I’ll be very upset.

I won’t make dinner if you want to go out to eat.

Listen for the first conditional in the following  two songs by Bruno Mars:

3º E Relative Pronouns

The Longest Sentence Game, How much do yous know about world-famous people? 

Instructions:

- Make two groups, your body will decide if you are A or B ...

- Watch some short biographies, pay attention and take notes 

https://www.biography.com/people/nelson-mandela-9397017

https://www.biography.com/tag/video

https://www.biography.com/video/adele-mini-biography-35740227647

https://www.biography.com/video/beyonce-mini-biography-12301891834

- In each round, two students will face off to find out who knows more information about a given person. Have the youngest person of the two go first and make a simple statement about a famous person. (For example, Albert Einstein was a scientist.) 

- The next person must then add a piece of information to the sentence (using a relative clause) without changing what the first person said. (For example, Albert Einstein, who discovered the theory of relativity, was a scientist.)

-  Play goes back to the first person who must add another piece of information to the sentence, and so on. When one player can no longer add a true piece of information to the sentence, the other person scores a point. 

Good Luck!

"And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going"

And I am telling you

I'm not going

You're the best man I'll ever know

There's no way I can ever go

No, no, there's no way

No, no, no, no way I'm living without you

I'm not living without you

I don't wanna be free

I'm staying

I'm staying

And you, and you

You're gonna love me, oh ooh mm mm

You're gonna love me

And I am telling you

I'm not going

Even though the rough times are showing

There's just no way, there's no way

We're part of the same place

We're part of the same time

We both share the same blood

We both have the same mind

And time and time, we've had so much to see and

No, no, no, no, no, no way

I'm not waking up tomorrow morning and finding that there's nobody there

Darling there's no way

No, no, no, no way I'm living without you

I'm not living without you

You see there's just no way, there's no way

Please don't go away from me

Stay with me stay with me

Stay, stay and hold me

Stay, stay and hold me

Please stay and hold me, Mr. Man,

Try it mister, try it mister

I know, I know, I know you can

Tear down the mountains

Yell, scream and shout like you can say what you want

I'm not walking out

Stop all the rivers, push, strike and kill

I'm not gonna leave you

There's no way I will

And I am telling you

I'm not going

You're the best man I'll ever know

There's no way I could ever, ever go

No, no, no, no way

No, no, no, no way I'm living without you

Oh, I'm not living without you,

Not living without you

I don't wanna be free

I'm staying, I'm staying

And you, and you, and you

You're gonna love me

You're gonna love me, yes you are

Ooh ooh love me, ooh ooh ooh love me

Love me, love me, love me, love me

You're gonna love me
