JOHN LENNON ( The best singer ever!)

PODCASTS
I have added some very useful websites where you can improve your listening skills. These sites are destinated to all the students who want to listen to some podcasts in their free time. Don´t worry! It´s not COMPULSORY!
I´d like you to create some podcasts this term. I know it´s dead easy, but you have to download some programs (audacity and more things) and record yourselves at home, so I´m afraid we cannot do this. You will be quite busy for this subject this term, which lasts less than two months.
Anyway, in this term we are going to work with topics related to those in selectividad. I hope you work hard and learn a lot of new vocab.
See you next week
P.S The more you listen the more you learn.

POEMS
Time Will Pass
Life is something you can not fake
you live and learn from each mistake
Sunny days or cloudy skies
Happy Greetings or Sad Goodbyes
So don't sit by and let time pass
For live each day like your last
This is something that you must do
if you expect to grow and stick it through
All the sadness all the pain wash
it away like the rain.
Fast or slow whatever your pace
take your time life is not a race.
Friday, 12 March 2010
