Yes, I know you’re a bit fed up… We’ve been watching the interview in class etc.. but I think it is a good example of how young British people talk; the speed, the rythm etc..
So check out this link in BBC Learning English because it is quite useful and you have the tapescript too, plus there’s another couple talking about their engagement.
Will you be watching the wedding live next Friday?
Check out this link to the blog HOMECOOKING ADDICT, it’s a bilingual with recipes in English and Spanish for those who love homecooking as much as I do. I have just started so I only have four posts but if you want my scones recipe, you can find it here! I must remember to post the brownie recipe for those who enjoyed it the other day. If you have any recipe in English that you want me to publish in the post, I’ll welcome any suggestions!
Next Wednesday 17 th March, the Irish( and those who are a little bit Irish in their hearts,like me!) will celebrate St Patrick’s day. Remember to wear something green, to drink a Guinness or Murphys( if you are over 18 years old!!) and to sing an Irish song.
Talking about Irish pub songs… how about this one! Dirty Old Town is a song you will hear in any Dublin pub.
This song is by The Dubliners, a mythical Irish band that I have seen live at the Olympia theatre in Dublin city.
Lyrics:
I met my love by the gasworks wallDreamed a dream by the old canal /Kissed my girl by the factory wall /Dirty old town, dirty old town./
Clouds are drifting across the moon/ Cats are prowling on their beat/ Spring’s a girl in the street at night/ Dirty old town, dirty old town.
I heard a siren from the docks /Saw a train set the night on fire/ Smelled the spring in the smokey wind /Dirty old town, dirty old town.
I’m going to make a good sharp axe/ Shining steel tempered in the fire /We’ll chop you down l/ike an old dead tree /Dirty old town, dirty old town.
Who was St. Patrick? Watch the following documentaries from the History channel and find out.
I love Irish music but what about Irish dancing…it’s just spectacular.
Watch this clip and listen to one of the best Irish bands, the Chieftains and see some real dancing
and if you still have doubts about st Patrick, come to class on Thursday and we’ll have a special activity on St Paddy’s day.. Remember to wear green !
