Us, Me


A Song with Capital Letters. Listen as you read, will you?
;-)



Us, and them
And after all we're only ordinary men.
...
Me, and you.
God only knows it's not what we would choose... to do.
.
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died.
And the general sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side.
...

Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
...
Up and down.
But in the end it's only round and round.
...
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried.
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside.
.
.
.
..........
.
Down and out
It can't be helped coz there's a lot of it about.
.
.
.
With, without.
And who’ll deny it's what the fighting’s all about?
...
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I’ve got things on my mind.
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died.

Oral Test

May you start looking forward to a relaxing holiday!
:-)
Time to prepare for the oral test!
Remember there are two tasks:


  • A Monologue or Oral Presentation, where you must talk for about three minutes about a topic- from any of  those studied in class.


Always start saying:
Hello my name is... and I am going to tell you / talk about...



  • In the second Task (Interaction) you must have a conversation with your partner, trying to make it as natural as possible. Forget about the teacher, who will be taking notes, no matter how well or badly you are doing. Focus on your partner only- and make eye contact- that's vital to make the conversation flow and to help you relax.


GO HERE  (Saro's Blog) for some more tips.


I take this opportunity to thank you all for your hard work both in class and in this blog. I really appreciate your effort and continuity during the whole school year.


Congrats and


GOOD LUCK!
;-)
