Halloween Countdowns

MUSICAL CHALLENGE

This week we have worked on Gerund and Inifinitives. Now, I have a challenge for you. I have found a song with many examples which illustrate different uses of the gerund and the infinitive:

"... you gonna stop breaking my heart..."

"I don't wanna be another one."

"Paying for the things I never done"

"Don't let go"

"I just don't wanna let you go"

"I hate to see you cry"

"I can fix all those lies."

"You won't see me cry"

CAN YOU FIND MORE EXAMPLES IN OTHER SONGS???

TONGUE TWISTERS

Practice Tongue Twisters and tell me which one is your favourite?

Which one is the easiest for you? Which one is the most difficult?

Have fun and practice your pronunciation!!!

GERUND AND INFINITIVE

GERUND & NFINITIVE

MAYBE YOU HAVE THE MAKINGS OF A SONGWRITER

Baby I like it

The way you move on the floor.

Baby I like it.

Come and give me some more.

Oh yes, I like it

Screaming like never before.

NOW, IT'S YOUR TURN. CAN YOU CHANGE THE CHORUS?

This is my proposal:

Baby I like it.

Eating and drinking with you

Baby I like it.

Staying in bed until two.

Oh yes, I like it.

Reading my favourite book.

NOT VERY GOOD, ISN'T IT?

WHEN YOU WRITE YOURS, PAY ATTENTIO TO THE RHYME.

I LIKE IT!!!!

Tell me what you like!!!!

ANY IDEAS???

I know I told you I'd write something interesting, but I'm afraid I've run out of ideas... Can you help me??? Have you got any ideas for a new challenge???

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY...

Do you think that MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND?
What would you do if you had a lot of money?

TWO QUEENS, TWO STYLES?

Last weeks we have been reading about Queen Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen. She is considered to be one of the greatest English monarchs.
Nowadays, the British also have a Queen, another Elizabeth, Elizabeth II.
Life in Great Britain has changed a lot since the 16th century, but what about British Queens? Can you compare them? Write sentences telling the differences and similarities you can see between both monarchs.

HOW TO GET OVER A BREAK-UP

We have just finished unit 4. The topic of this unit was "relationships". We have read and talked about falling in love with someone, asking someone out, going out with someone, having arguments, getting engaged and of course, about breaking up.
Breaking up with someone you love may be a painful experience. Here you have some advice to get over a break-up faster. Can you tell me any of the things explained by the boy in the video in order to get over a break-up???

I LOVE SPORT!!!

Can you write your comments about this day??? Imagine you are a sports journalist!!!
