Walking on sunshine. WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!

There are some songs that make you jump, help you change your mood, bring a smile to your face.  This very old song may be one of them. I have a few, and I do need them from time to time. 

What about you? Have you got any to share?

Can you in pairs guess the missing words?

For and against essay

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.

 Not many official days left. You may think there won't be much to remember from this busy, weird academical year that some may want to forget soon. However, a year that will hopefully take you to the beginning of a great future. Think high and make your dreams come true. And as Bruce sings. No surrender. Never give up!

Gonzalo...Music time? Let's listen to the BOSS! 

Bruce Sprinsteen  On TOUR. 

Barcelona last weekend, Dublin today and concerts every week for months to come.

Ohhhh)  (Ohhhh)   (Ohhhh)   (Ohhhh)

Well we busted …………   ……..   …………..
Had to get away from those ……….
We learned more from a three-minute record
Baby, than we ever learned ….. ……………..
Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound
I can feel my ………………. begin to pound
You say you're tired and you just wanna close your eyes
And follow your …………….. down

Well we made a promise we swore we'd always …………………
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Like …………….. in the winter's night with a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender

Well now young faces grow sad and old
And hearts of fire grow cold
We swore …………… brothers against the wind
I'm ready to grow young again
And hear your sister's voice calling us …………..
Across the open yards
Well maybe we could cut someplace of our own
With these drums and these guitars

'Cause we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
……………. brothers in the stormy night with a vow to …………….
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Hey! (Lalala...)(Lalala...)(Lalala...)

Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim
The walls of my room are closing in
There's a war outside still raging
you say it ain't ours anymore …… ………….
I wanna sleep beneath peaceful skies in my lover's ………….
With a wide open country in my eyes
And these romantic ………….. in my head

Because we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
…………. brothers in the stormy night with a vow to ……….
No retreat, baby, no surrender
No retreat, baby, no surrender

Hungry for more...?

HUNGRY HEART

Hungry heart ( remember /hɑː(r)t/ you may need to remember the pronunciation for ABAU 😬)

with different explanations about the meaning of this catchy song. CAN YOU DISCUSS IN PAIRS THE MEANING OF THE SONG?

Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going

Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart

I met her in a Kingstown bar
We fell in love I knew it had to end
We took what we had and we ripped it apart
Now here I am down in Kingstown again

Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart

Everybody needs a place to rest
Everybody wants to have a home
Don't make no difference what nobody says
Ain't nobody like to be alone

Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart

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,

I will sail  the world to find you 

If you ever find yourself lost in the dar and you can't see

I will be the light to guide you 

1st type conditional 

If + present tense (If you find), - future tense ( I will sail)
