LYRICS TRAINING
Dear
students,
Here’s a
link for those of you who missed the last class and would like to listen to
the song we played and worked with.
(I'm posting Pink and Nate Ruess's live performance of the song at the 2014 Grammy's Awards too)
Lyrics Training is a fun website where
you will be able to improve your English while listening to your favourite music. It will help you improve your ability to understand
English through the lyrics of songs. Choose a song, select a game mode
(Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced or Expert), watch the clip, and fill in the
gaps in the lyrics.
Enjoy it!

HALLOWEEN IN THE USA
Dear students,
We talked about British Halloween traditions in the class. Here's a video about how Halloween is celebrated in the USA. The YouTube channel where you will find the video (ESL English Class 101) is also full of useful resources in the form of video lessons so it is worth taking a look too.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Are you celebrating
Halloween this year?
As you
know, it is becoming more and more popular in Spain. The night of the 31st
of November has become a special date on the calendar. Lots of Halloween-themed
events take place, such as costume parties, especially in big cities.
But it is
still not quite as big as its celebration in the USA. Would you like to get an
idea of how important it is there? Take a look at the statistics below:
