STORIES BEHIND SONGS - (B2.2)

Dear students,

Do you like music? Have you ever wanted to know the answer to the following questions?




I'm posting a great link for those of you who are curious about the stories behind songs. 

The song we listened to in class, Penny Lane, is certainly one of those songs that spark the fans curiosity. Why would the Beatles choose that street in Liverpool in particular? What's special about it? What does it reveal about the band?

BACK TO SCHOOL




Hi there everyone!

After a long and nice summer break, September is officially here so it’s time to get into full ‘back-to-school mode’…

Me, I’m pretty excited about starting the school year and going back to Rivas. This year I’ll be teaching levels B2.1 and B2.2 so I expect to find some of my old students. Whether you are one of them or not, I welcome you to my blog, a space I will use to share useful information to help you continue learning out of the class.

I’ll also post the information on the class notice board in the classroom (E.g. news concerning upcoming assignments, tests, events… etc) for those students who had to miss a lesson.

I look forward to seeing you in class and working together to improve our English.

Good luck for the new academic year and happy learning!

Best wishes
