READERS 1st BAC

As I have mentioned in class, the titles below are for you to choose and read. There are copies in the library but not enough for all of you to read at the same time so you shouldn't have them for a long time in order to allow others to read them.  In case you want to buy your own copy, they are all from Burlington Books.

The following titles can also be found in the library ( about 10-12 copies each). They are full books, not adapted like the ones before. I would like to encourage those who like reading to pick one of them. If you find them too hard or long, you can always go for the easy ones.

IRREGULAR VERBS. WHAT A NIGHTMARE FOR SOME OF YOU! 1st ESO BIL

I know some of you are having a hard time studying irregular verbs. We are almost there!!! If you click on the picture below you can practise with this game created by Jorge QC 

It is really long, so don't even start if you have something important to do in the next hour 😅😅 and if you make a mistake it will take you to the first one again. But it is good for revision before the exam.

NOT ENOUGH? DO YOU WANT TO GO ON PLAYING?

WHAT SHOCKED SANTI THE MOST

One of my students from 1 Bac D, Santiago, was really lucky to have visited both New York ans San Francisco recently. This morning I asked him a few questions about his trip. I wondered what landmark had impressed him the most. He didn't choose a landmark but the amount of homeless people he had encountered. I mentioned "fentanyl" and some students didn't know much about it

Happy New Year!!! Just for a laugh!

"In the Ghetto" (originally titled "The Vicious Circle") is a 1969 song written by Mac Davis and recorded by Elvis Presley. It was a major hit released in 1969 as a part of Presley's comeback album.

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child ...   ......
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)

And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she ....... .......
It is another hungry mouth .... ............
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)

People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me
Are we ..... ....... to see?

Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

Well, the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind .........
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how  ...  ........
And he learns how   ...  ........
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)

Then one night in desperation
The young man breaks away
He buys a  ...., steals a  .....

Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd "........... 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)

And as her young man dies
(In the ghetto)
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)

And his mama cries.
