    Dear students,

    Welcome to our 2022 room! 

    See you!

    • We're going to use New Headway Elementary unit 12 and New Headway Pre Intermediate.

      do these exercises to correct in class. Bring it on paper!


    • You use the PRESENT CONTINUOUS to express what is happening now (at this moment).

      * Pay attention to this short video.


    • Oprah is interviewing Lady Gaga.

      * Just watch the video and tell me if there's something you don't understand.

    • Dear students,

      You have to do  the three first exercises on the HI page. They're for revision. You don't need to give them to me, but you can send me your questions and doubts.

      Take a look at unit 1 in your New Headway Pre Intermediate (it's a revision module) and ask me if there's something you don't understand.  

      You can use the workbook to practise.

      *For the FUTURE you use WILL when you make the decision at the moment of speaking and GOING TO when you made it before speaking. You can also use Present Continuous for the future when something is sure to happen.

      Best wishes!

      MEMORIES   - MAROON 5

      Here's to the ones that we got
      Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
      'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
      Of everything we've been through
      Toast to the ones here today
      Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
      'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
      And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
      There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain
      When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same
      Now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name
      'Cause I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, yeah
      Everybody hurts sometimes
      Everybody hurts someday, ayy ayy
      But everything gon' be alright
      Go and raise a glass and say, ayy
      Here's to the ones that we got
      Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
      'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
      Of everything we've been through
      Toast to the ones here today
      Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
      'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
      And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
      Doo doo, doo doo doo doo
      Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
      Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo
      Memories bring back, memories bring back you
      There's a time that I remember when I never felt so lost
      When I felt all of the hatred was too powerful to stop (ooh, yeah)
      Now my heart feel like an ember and it's lighting up the dark
      I'll carry these torches for ya that you know I'll never drop, yeah
      Everybody hurts sometimes
      Everybody hurts someday, ayy ayy
      But everything gon' be alright
      Go and raise a glass and say, ayy
      Here's to the ones that we got (oh)
      Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
      'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
      Of everything we've been through (no, no)
      Toast to the ones here today (ayy)
      Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
      'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories (ayy)
      And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
      Doo doo, doo doo doo doo
      Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
      Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo
      Memories bring back, memories bring back you
