School subjects

There's a beautiful song by Sam Cooke called "Wonderful World". It's about school love:

Do you like music and films?
I really do  !!

Director Peter Weir included this song in the soundtrack for"Witness" (1985), which is one of my favourite films.
(Although it's just one in quite a long list  !)

Harrison Ford (Han Solo, Indiana Jones) and Kelly Mc Gillis played main roles in this thriller about a little Amish boy who witnesses a murder.

In this the scene they dance to the song:

Don't you think it's cool? (...I guess that your mums will agree with me!!)
:)
Another famous actor in the film was Viggo Mortensen.
(...yes, Aragorn  !!)
:)

The school community: should, shouldn't, must, mustn't, have to, don't have to.

This week we've discussed on rights and responsibilities at school, at home and in life in general.

I'd like to share with you one of my favourite short videos by Pixar.
It's called "For the Birds".

After watching the video, use these verbs

should

shouldn't

must

mustn't

have to

don't have to

 



to teach the little birds how to be respectful to others, no matter how different they are.

Remember: Nobody's perfect!!

 

School days

If you're interested in the topic of school we've worked on these days, maybe you should have a look at this lipdub against bullying which was made by highschool students.

It's a good example of collaboration to make improvements in communities:
Everyone did their best and got involved in a cool project.

Would you like to sing along?

Lyrics for Who Do U Think U R? (single) by Kaitlyn K.

Who Do You Think You Are?
© 04.02.12 Knippers / Thomas / Young
Verse 1
When you look in the mirror tell me what do you see?
Are you wearing the words that you throw at me?
When you’re fixing your hair and whitening your teeth
Do you know that it’s ugly what you do to me?
Pre
Guess what you’re lame
You don’t even know my name
I don’t wanna play your games.
I don’t wanna play.
Chorus
So who do you think you are?
Who died and made you king?
Think you know it all
You don’t know anything
Who do you think you are?
Try’na call the shots
Think you’re so cool
But you’re so not
Who do you think you are?
Verse 2
When you’re out in the crowd knockin’ little kids down
Does it make you feel big? Does it make you feel proud?
You’ve got all the right stuff when I comes to your clothes
But your attitude sucks you need a new one of those
Pre
Guess what you’re lame
You don’t even know my name
I don’t wanna play your games.
I don’t wanna play.
Chorus : REPEAT
Bridge
I kinda wanna say thank you for what you’ve done
When you say I can’t, makes me know I can
When you push me down I just get up again
Pre
I not gonna play your game
I not gonna play your game.
Chorus : REPEAT

Present Perfect+ still, yet and already.

I really like music to practise English.
I love rock music.
And U2 is one of my favourite bands.

This is my suggestion to remember the use of still together with the present perfect.

 

And this is a version with a gospel choir in Harlem.

 

(It gives me goose pimples!)
