Nada tiene que ver con una especie de mensaje subliminal dentro de las canciones ni un ejercicio alternativo o milagroso que te haga hablar como un anglosajón hecho y derecho, el esfuerzo nunca escapa de nuestras obligaciones como estudiantes. Es por esto que, atendiendo a una necesidad siempre creciente de aumentar el conocimiento útil y humano, comprendiendo que el mencionado lenguaje no es la herramienta comunicativa del futuro sino del presente, debes poner atención a las siguientes canciones y su pronunciación. –ABBA – ‘I Have a Dream’ I have a dream, a song to sing To help me cope with anything. –Adele – ‘One and Only’
Comparatives – The Art Gallery | A Mirror of Mind Time: 60 minutes Materials Required: A4 Paper (1 sheet per student) Overview: A low-prep, enjoyable, short lesson for introducing or practising comparatives. Suitable for all ages – in my experience, teenagers have reacted particularly well to this lesson as they create their own material, they get to move around and the context for the language is clear. Suggested Procedure: 1) Give each student one piece of paper and instruct them to write their first name on the bottom right side of the paper. 2) Tell the students they have four minutes to draw a picture. 3) Take in the pictures – we will use these soon. 4) Language focus: Introduce adjectives to your students by eliciting that a ‘house’ is a noun, but a house can be big / small etc. The red parts can be added later when focusing on how to compare two things using adjectives. Do the same with rooms and pieces of art, noting students’ ideas on the board and eliciting other adjectives if they don’t think of ‘dark’, ‘spacious’, ’empty’, etc.

Random Idea English: A ten-minute walk, ten minutes' walk - expressions with two nouns Expressions with two nouns to talk about time, distance and other forms of measurement Two basic patterns In this post we take a look at using expressions of time, distance, money etc when we use a number with a noun, before another noun, for example: ten + minute + walk There are two basic patterns we can use: Pattern 1 - used adjectivally We often use a number and a noun combination after a determiner such as an article, this, my etc, and functioning as an adjective before a noun and modifying that noun. It takes ten minutes to walk there It's a ten-minute walk.The holiday is for two weeks We're going for a two-week holidayYour hike was fifty miles This fifty-mile hiking trip you went on, what was it like? Note: the use of hyphens - when used adjectivally like this before another noun, we usually put a hyphen between the number and the first noun, the one indicating the unit of measure. Pattern 2 - used as a possessive compound noun When there's only one, or the expression ends in a fraction
Pronunciation of ED in English ED appears at the end of regular verbs in the past tense (e.g. wanted, helped, lived) sometimes in adjectives ending in ED (e.g. tired, embarrassed, relaxed) as well as in some Past Participles. However the pronunciation of ED sometimes causes problems for non-native speakers because it can be pronounced in three different ways: as / id /, as / t / or as / d / (Note: whenever you see letters or symbols between two slash marks (/ /), it refers to the pronunciation of that letter or sound) Before we learn the difference ways to pronounce ED, we must first know what voiced and voiceless consonants are. Voiced Consonants vs. A voiced consonant (or sound) means that it uses the vocal cords and they produce a vibration or humming sound in the throat when they are said. A voiceless sound (sometimes called an unvoiced sound) is when there is no vibration in your throat and the sound comes from the mouth area. 1. wanted (sounds like "want-id") waited needed folded 2. 3.
