AND after a really long, long, long wait... the day has arrived for Charles and Camilla.

 For the ones who are fond of the ROYALTY and that is not me. But it is surely a day to remember in the United Kingdom.

It’s the final countdown. After months of preparation, Britain will celebrate the coronation of Charles III and the world is getting ready to watch.

The coronation will take place in Westminster Abbey, which for almost a thousand years has witnessed the most important royal acts – the first going back to William the Conqueror in 1066. But the ceremony is a mere formality for Charles III, who has been serving as monarch since September 8 in the wake of his mother Elizabeth II’s death at age 96.

Count on me lip dub. Conditionals

I just love using this video to start explaining conditionals. My students were in 2nd ESO then ( that was 10 years ago so they are about to finish their degrees, maybe some are already working...) I have only kept track of some of them.  I hope they are all having as much fun as we had with activities like this one organised by the music teacher, Seso Durán.

 

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea,

FILM REVIEW. 4th ESO

USEFUL LANGUAGE TO WRITE A FILM REVIEW AND AN EXAMPLE

THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS MAY HELP YOU WRITE YOUR OWN.

1. What is the title of the film?
2. What genre is it? Can you compare/relate it to others?
3. What is it about?
4. Is it based on a book?
5. Where is the film set?
 6. When is the film set?
7. Who stars in the film?
 8. Who plays the main role(s)?
 9. Who is your favourite character in the film? (Why?)
10. What kind of person would like this film? Recommendation.

You can follow this pattern.

• To inform. The review needs to tell people who is in the film, who it is by and where or when readers can see it.
• To describe. The review should describe the story, characters and some of the action - without spoiling the plot or giving too much away!
• To analyse. A good review gives an opinion on whether the film is good or not and why.
• To advise. Finally, the review should tell the reader whether or not to go and see the film.
