SONG: BORN TO BE SOMEBODY - Justin Bieber

Hello everybody!
We have listened to a song by Justin Bieber (yes, I know some boys don't like him so much, but next time, it will be their choice :-)
It is a fun and motivating way to listen to English music and start understanding the lyrics.
Here it is the link to youtube if you would like to listen to the song again with lyrics:

ENJOY!!! Sing the song and practise English at the same time!
Bye bye!

BORN TO BE SOMEBODY

There's a dream in my soul
A fire that's deep inside me
There's a me no-one knows
Waiting to be set free

I'm gonna (=going to) see that day
I can feel it, I can taste it
Change is coming my way

 

CHORUS:

I was born to be somebody
Ain't (=there is) nothing that's ever gonna (=going to) stop me
I'll light up the sky like lightning
I'm gonna (going to) rise above
Show them what I'm made of
I was born to be somebody
I was born to be.
And this world will belong to me

This life can kick you around (woah)
This world can make you feel small (wooh)
They will not keep me down (woah)
I was born to stand tall
I'm going all the way
I can feel it, I believe it
I'm here, I'm here to stay

CHORUS

Feel it
Believe it
Dream it
Be it

CHORUS

CATWALK - Bugs World. Unit 1: Vocabulary: Clothes.

The group-classes of 6A and 6B will organise a catwalk next Tuesday 8th November 2011.

There will be 5 teams of 4 or 5 people each, and everybody in the team will play a different role:

• Clothes designer, who will choose the clothes that the model is going to wear.
• Graphic designer, who will prepare a drawing in power-point / or on paper of the model's outfit.
• Presenter 1 / Presenter 2, who will present the outfit of the model to the rest of the group.

Example: ".... is wearing a black skirt with green tights. It is very nice and comfortable for cold weather!, etc"

• Model, who will put on the clothes for the catwalk.

This is a fun way to review vocabulary about clothes and practise English in a real communicative context.
Pictures will be posted here soon :-)

Here they are!
