Do you fancy mermaiding?

 

You have probably read or watched the Disney film The Little Mermaid, or the film Splash starred by Tom Hanks and Daryl Hanna, but what does it really mean 'mermaiding'? Some would rather say our English teacher is a beached sperm whale than a little mermaid. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

 

By the way, do you know where the little mermaid is?
 

Here's a listening exercise to do: Swimming like a mermaid (6 Minute English, BBC Learning English)

  

Here are some articles you can read about the issue:

• Why swimming like a mermaid is the new extreme sport (The Guardian)

• Professional mermaids work their tails off (CNN)

Here's an interesting site Eva, the Practicum student from the University of Granada who is coming to our school lately, has provided me with:

Learn English Teens (BRITISH COUNCIL)

BBC English Accent | Tutorial

Let's revise this grammatical issue doing these exercises:

• would rather, had better (OUP)
• had better and would rather exercise (Autoenglish)
