Who would you like to dance with?

"Who would you like to dance with?"  >>>  Is it a subject or an object question?

Some exercises to do:   1  2  3   

But perhaps it is no time to dance with all the problems we have in our world: climate change and its consequences, unemployment, the future for our younger generations, economy...

Very soon we we will be having one of Albert-coded exams and, although he is said to have a heart of gold, all that glitters is not gold, as he is the hardest teacher we have this year. Everybody says that we are as good as gold, which is an opinion he doesn't seem to share. Anyway, to put things nicely, he is really worth his weight in gold.... but for the worst!! Here you've presented with 4 expressions connected with gold. and one with -coded. You can check the meaning of each of them just below in the English in a Minute section and the English We Speak section.

Breakfast, the key to a healthy life!

 

Breakfast is and has always been very important in our lives and in all the civilisations around the world. Why? Because it gives you the energy to face the rest of the day. Soldiers in the front, farmers in their fields, clerks at the office, students and teachers at school...

What does the singer of the song "Breakfast in America" want for breakfast? Listen to the song and tell me the answer in your comment. Besides, What do you usually have for breakfast? 

 

In our English classes early in the morning we have got a big problem we haven't solved so far: Certain students arrive, put their schoolbags on their desks and are out like a light as soon as Albert starts talking. After some research a fact has shed light on this problem: our students don't have enough (or anything at all) for breakfast!!! Will there be light at the end of the tunnel?  I hope so. After reading this post maybe our students will see the light and stop giving no importance to breakfast. Here you've presented with 4 expressions connected with light. You can check the meaning of each of them just below in the English in a Minute section.

Spain, what is Spain for you?

 

It is the name of the place where you live. You may say it is your country or just the name of a football team. Nowadays, we are in a globalised world and you've got relatives and friends working and living all around the world and problems throughout the problem might affect you, so we don't feel so much part of a country, but of the world.

You hear on the news that there are floods in New York and that is the city where your brother and his family lives. There is a severe drought in New Zealand and that is the country where a friend of yours works as a civil engineer. A heavy snow fall where your elder son is doing his Erasmus or a pandemic in Cardiff where your younger son is also doing his Erasmus. There is an avalanche in Laussane (Switzerland) and that is the spot where Benjamín Béjar Haro lives and works as a university professor and who was one of Albert's most brilliant students and whose family is from Molvízar.

Am I as bad as I used to be?

 

 

No way!! Long time ago I must admit I used to be a bit strict with my students, but now that I even have my old students' children, I'm no longer as bad as I used to be!!

I know times are changing, but it should be for the better. Although the latest students coming to our school haven't been the best, at least the promotion of students that has just started their secondary education is quite promising.
