The Plague (for 4th ESO)

In Unit 2 we can read about the plague and how it spread in the past. Here you are a video which gives the same information with sense of humour.

Present Simple vs Present Continuous

After studying the difference between Present Simple and Present Continuous tenses you can do this test. You can see the correction and if you have any doubts, ask your teacher.

Present Continuous

If you are in 1st ESO or upper levels and you want to practice the present continuous tense here you have worksheets and extra material to do at home. Bring the material to school and your teacher will correct it.

Present Simple

Let's listen to some English teachers talking about their daily routine. This is a way to practise different accents and the use of the Present Simple tense.

My favourite music (3rd ESO)

The course is finishing and I think I can say that  I  am quite happy for having got to know "most of you". When we have talked about my preferences about music, board games such as "Monopoly", and some other strange aspects about me and my personal life,  some of you have sometimes thought I was a kind of a "freaky" person (accoding to you, of course). So, as I think you are right in some of these ideas, I wanted to share one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite groups (appart from  Abba). You can sing it, and laugh, of course, especially if you try to imitate the singer's voice. Here you are. Ladies and gentlemen The  Bee Gees with all of you!

Pirates on board again! (1st ESO)

 If you are finishing Unit 9 (in Challenge 1) perhaps you'll feel like listening to Captain Jack Sparrow's real voice  in the official trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean 4. Maybe you'll find the voice of Penelope Cruz in English pretty different from her voice in Spanish. This is what happens when we do not listen to original versions .

As you told me you wanted extra activities to reinforce your knowledges about active and passive voice, here you have a list of links to do it:
http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/passive/exercises?simple-present

These two links are to change active sentences into passive.
