Merry Christmas everyone!

This is the song we are going to sing this year:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-BldKcfoFY

And here you have the lyrics:

Snow is fallin'
All around me
Children playin'
Having fun
It's the season
Love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Time for parties
And celebrations
People dancin'
All night long
Time for presents
And exchanging kisses
Time for singing Christmas songs
We're gonna have a party tonight
I'm gonna find that girl
Underneath the mistletoe
We'll kiss by candle light
Room is swaying
Records playing
All the old songs
Love to give
Oh, I wish that
Everyday was Christmas
What a nice way
To spend the year, whoo, yeah
We're gonna have a party tonight
I'm gonna find that girl
Underneath the mistletoe
We'll kiss by candle light
Snow is fallin' (snow is fallin')
All around me (all around me)
Children playin' (children playin')
Having fun (having fun)
It's the season
Love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone

Revision of 5º

Hello everyone! In this entry you will find all the grammar contents we have worked in 5º this year.

I have also included links to practice units 1-3, that you worked on when I wasn´t back to school.

I hope you find them useful to revise this summer.

Remember that every little helps! Try to do a bit of English every day  (even 15 minutes a day can make a difference!). You can use the blog, you could try to read in English (books, magazines, blogs, websitess, etc), you can watch films or series in English (if you do need subtitles, use English subtitles, not Spanish ones), you could go to https://es.lyricstraining.com/ and improve your English while listening to your favourite songs...

Have a great summer and see you in September!

Present simple and continuous:

Listening:

https://www.examenglish.com/PET/PET_for_schools_listening.html

And finally, some advice for the Speaking part (also from www.examenglish.com) :

Tricks to help you feel confident

  1. While you're waiting to go in, speak English to the people waiting with you. That way you're not going in "cold" – suddenly having to switch from your own language to English. Think of it like doing warm up stretches before going for a run
  2. Forget about grammar and vocabulary today. Concentrate on answering the questions, listening to the instructions and your partner (for tasks where you have to interact with another student). If you've been studying for the exam for months beforehand, you know all the grammar and vocabulary you're going to know. So, there's no point worrying about that on the day of the exam!
  3. If you make a mistake, correct it and move on. Don't let it interfere with your fluency. You get marked down for hesitation and long pauses. But, correcting your mistakes, or even, asking the examiner or the other candidate to repeat or clarify something can gain you marks. It's called a 'repair strategy' and it's a sign of good communication skills.

Tricks for success in the exam

  1. Be interesting! Remember the examiner has been going through the same routine all day and he or she is bored. There are standard questions at the beginning of the exam about where you live, your free time and school subjects, for example. The examiner has probably heard the same answers all morning. If you're taking the exam in your own country, this is especially true as most candidates live in the same city. Before the exam, think of some interesting fact about the place you live, or a hobby you have that is a bit different, or give an opinion about your school subject. Just one or two sentences are enough to get the exam off to a good start.
  2. Interact with the other candidate. Not everyone can get top marks for grammar, vocabulary or pronunciation, but there's no reason not to get a 5 for 'interactive communication'. This mark is for initiating conversation, responding to what your partner has said, and trying to move the discussion towards an outcome. 
    Acknowledge something the other candidate has said and develop it – just like a conversation in the real world. Try to avoid just giving stock phrases like "I agree with you" and then moving onto a different topic. Say why you agree (or disagree) and discuss the point. For example 'That's what I think too because…'. You can ask the other candidate why they have that opinion too.
  3. Be yourself! It's OK to make jokes or use humour. Just because it's an exam doesn't mean everything you say has to be super serious. If your personality comes across, then it means the examiner is more likely to think of you as someone who expresses themselves well in English.
So, take a deep breath and remember – in under twenty minutes, it's all going to be over!
