DO YOU REALLY KNOW ME???

I know that you are laden with exams, but maybe you have some free time for this activity. Just a way to forget your stress for a while.
Some of you interviewed several teachers and you got to know many things about them... but what about me??? Probably, you do not need an interview. So many hours together... I am sure you have loads of information about me, don't you? Let's try to remember. You just have to complete the gaps as in those boring grammatical exercises you have been doing since you started your English lessons.
Let's get going!!!
"My name is (1) Ana Isabel ................. and I am (2)........ years old. I was born in Granada, in a village called (3) ................... It's not very big but I really like it because almost all my family live there. And of course, I love it because it is near (3)......................... and you know that this place is one of my favourite places, especially in summer.
I only have one (4) .................... who is (5) ................. than me, but I have many cousins. Probably you remember some of them. And their names? (6)........................... They are really lovely!!! I miss them all.
As you know, I also have very good friends and some of you know my friend (7) ....................... She always asks me about you and sends you her regards. Anyway, I am sure you remember another of my friends, the one who gave me the keyboards for you. She is (8)............................
I like my job very much. I've been teaching for (9) ................ years. I have never worked in another thing because before coming to Castilla La Mancha I taught (10) ............................. in Granada. So, teacher all my life!!!. Sometimes, I think that if I weren't an English teacher, I'd be a (11) ........................ What do you think?
Now, I spent many hours working but I also have some free time and then I (12) ......................... or ...................... There are many things that I really like, such as (13)....................................... and many others which get my nerves on the edge, for example (14) ........................................ I also love travelling and I have visited some countries: (15) ................., ..................... or ..........................
Other more personal details... You all know that I'm single and ... yes! I don't like animals"
And I think that's all, but you are allowed to include all the information you know about me!!! Of course, compliments are accepted and rewarded.

DUBBING ACTORS!!!

Last year I discovered you were very good actors. But... what about dubbing? Do you dare dub this scene from "Física o Química"? The plan is easy: you prepare the script and then you show your dubbing to the rest of the class in the last five minutes of the lesson. What do you think? Maybe, it is very dificult... I don't know, but I think it could be very funny and a good way of forgetting your problems.

Feist is a Canadian singer that I really like. This is one of her most famous songs. It's really optimistic. You can watch the video; I think it is quite cool! So colourful!!! And what about the dancing? Maybe, we can try one of these days...



But this is not all; now I invite you to watch a different version of the song. Feist visited Sesame Street and she sang her song with the characters of this famous street, but... Is it the same song? Can you understand the differences in the lyrics? Which version do you prefer?

HAND IN MY POCKET

This is a new video for you to practice your English. I know that you haven't heard this song before but I hope you like it. I really love it!!!
I want you to pay attention to the lyrics because this song is an excellent opportunity to learn new adjectives. Moreover, the meaning of the song is quite interesting.
And now... you new task!!! If you listen to the song and read the lyrics, you will see that there are many opposite adjectives which appear in pairs in the song. Which one will you choose to describe yourselves??? Choose one of the pairs and give me the reasons for your selection.
I have chosen "I'm sad but I'm laughing" and remember "what it all comes down to that everything is gonna be fine fine fine"

SING A SONG.

Singing in English is a very good way of learning. You can improve your pronunciation and learn new vocabulary and structures. That is why I have included this video with the lyrics of the song "If I were a boy" by Beyoncé.
Moreover, I think that this song provides us the perfect context for my question:
What would you do if you were a boy (if you are a girl) or a girl (if you are a boy) for a day?

THRILLER.

Do you remember our Halloween special lesson??? Did you enjoy "Thriller"? I'm sure you did.Now, I have a new proposal. As you know there were some vocabulary exercises in the Thriller worksheet, but we did not have time enough to complete them (in fact, we didn't even start them). So, I would like you to finish them on your own. If you do it, you just have to give the worksheet to me and I'll give you some stars.
