DEALING WITH CHILDREN

Although we have some interferences because of their native language, I have found this interesting video explaining how to discipline children since they are toddlers. And the best is that it has subtitles, so we can practise at the same time listening and reading. I hope you find it useful!

PROS & CONS OF HAVING CHILDREN

Now we are dealing a new topic in class, parenthood and the advantages and drawbacks of having children. Here is an interesting article I have found related to this. I hope you find it useful to get ideas to talk about.

You can read it in the following link:

On the other hand, I'm sure you have watched this video, but I feel it is perfect for those who still believe that having children is worth it. Enjoy it!

And finally, a funny comic strip to show how unpredictible children are. 

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN 30 ACCENTS

Although it is a bit long, I feel it is worth watching and, of course, listening to this video. I think that if you are able to understand at least one word in each different accent, you are trained enough for the listening test, aren't you? It is also very funny.

I hope our teacher chooses the better accent for us to understand in the exam. What about the boy talking at the beginning and at the end of the video? What marked accent!

By the way, here is an interesting link about the -ed pronunciation in regular verbs:

Have a great weekend!

ADJECTIVES ORDER

As we learnt last Thursday in class, there is an established order to place adjectives next to a noun. Here is a nice video explaining it. I hope you enjoy it and it helps you remembering it better.

And if you want some practice on this topic, you can click on HERE and HERE. They're very useful and you can correct yourself.

SONGS FOR PRONUNCIATION

For those who love listening to songs lyrics, here is a present. And if you like this singer, there you are! 

Have a nice weekend!

P.S.: I recommend you this web page: http://es.lyricstraining.com/

You choose the song and, depending on the level, you can write its lyrics. It's very useful and entertaining.

PARTICIPLE CLAUSES: THE NEW NIGHTMARE

After correcting those endless exercises in class, here is a bit of help. Maybe, as they say, they're not that bad!

And now... some tip to improve our English. According to this teacher, we know we master the language when we dream in English! What do you think? Have your reached this step?

Have a nice long weekend! If you're lucky. And if not, too, of course.
