Lemon tree (Fool’s garden)

I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday (1)…………
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But (2)…………ever happens and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too (3)………
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue, blue (4)………
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around
And all that I can see is just (5)…………(tanehor) lemon-tree

I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a (6)……………
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
Well, (7)…………ever happens and I wonder

Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree

I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you (8)…………

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue, blue (9)………
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
And I wonder, wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue, blue (10)…………
And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon-tree

I like the lesson with computers, I think that this is better than the normal lessons. The computer was going very quickly and I hadn't got problems. It seems to me that it is some kind of different to it of always.

Daniel, My First Post

Last class was very good , because we enjoy using the computers and I like it.
The problem was the google acount, it doesn't work very well in the class but in my house I can do it without problems.
In conclussion the class was better than the others

Jesus, My first post

Hello!
I enjoyed a lot working with computers last lesson because it's a fun way to learn English and I think it's better than using the book all the time.
The only bad thing I've seen is that there were some problems with the Google account but I think we solved them easily.
It was the first time I embed a video and I think it wasn't so difficult.
Maybe we could make sketches or something like that in English and post them in the blog.

Ángela , My first post.

I like the class because we do a lot of interesting activities and games.
I like so because now we have computers to work in class and listen music and do some other things we like.
Sometimes the google's count doesn't work very well, but the rest is fantastic

ManuelC - My First Post

I liked the class because is a very good and funny way to learn English because sometimes if we us always the books it can be boring.I'd like to use the computers more times. I think it will be better if we have one computer each because is easier and you won't speak with the other person, so we will do better the activities.
The video was very easy to embed, and I would like to record some videos of us doing something in English and post it in the blog.

Araceli, My First Post

I liked very much the lesson with Computers because we learn English doing something different than using the book and it’s funnier.
I didn’t like some problems that I have with the Google account but the others things were really good.
It was a bit difficult to embed the video but it was normal because it was the first time.I would like to do more things like that.

ElenaP, My first post.

Hello!

Last class was very different!
I really liked it because I enjoy using the computers and I think it is a good way to learn easier.
The only disadvantage was the computer's low battery but we solved the problem in two minutes.
It was very easy to embed the video and I would like to do activities like we did last lesson.
See you soon :)

MySong Activity

Write a post to say what you liked/didn’t like about today’s class:

1. The title should be your name - MySong Activity (e.g. HelenC - MySong Activity)
2. In the labels box type your name, MySong (e.g. HelenC, MySong
3. Write about 60 words and talk about:

• the good things
• the not very good things
• how easy/difficult it was to embed the video
• something you would like to do using the blog (if you have an idea)

Here is an example:

I really enjoyed using the computers because it is different from using the course book. I also learned lots of new technology vocabulary. There were some problems with the technology which was a bit frustrating but I still preferred this class to using the book. Embedding the blog was incredibly easy! I didn't know how easy it was.

HelenC - This is a great song!

Hi. I'm Helen. I'm from the UK but I live in Seville. I'm an English teacher and a Spanish student so I know how difficult it can be to learn a foreign language! I chose to learn Spanish because so many people speak it as a first language. I think it's a very important world language.

In my free time I love listening to music. Here is a video of one of my favourite Spanish songs. The group is Libido and they're from Peru - they're very famous in South America and a bit famous in America, but not very well-known in Spain. The song is quite sad but I love the lyrics and the music and I don't feel sad when I listen to it. I usually listen to it when I feel calm and relaxed.

Create a Song Worksheet

Every Wednesday (T7A) and Thursday (T7B) we will listen to a song at the end of the class.  But YOU will choose the song and create the worksheet.  To create a worksheet, you need to find a suitable video and the lyrics to the song.

To make your song worksheet:

• copy and paste the lyrics into a Word or OpenOffice document
• replace some of the words with lines, jumbled words, Spanish words or image
• remember to keep a copy of the deleted words!!
• print one copy - I will take copies for everybody in class.

Here is a website for lyrics - if you know a better one let me know!  You might need to watch the video and read the lyrics at the same time because sometimes the words are a little bit different.

Have fun creating your worksheets!
