Last Christmas

 Hello,

Here is a Christmas song for the Wednesday Workout class. It is a classic from the 1980's- I remember slow dancing to this at school discos when I was a teenager :

Last Christmas

 

How do you pronounce the words in BOLD?

 

What is the meaning of the expressions in italics?

 

Last Christmas

 

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

 

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

 

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

"Merry Christmas" I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you", I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again

 

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
etc...

 

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
etc...

 

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Ooh, ooh, now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again

 

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
etc...

 

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
etc...

 

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year we'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency

Hi Everyone, and especially the Chatterbox class! Here is a link to the opening pages of the novel The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Have you read it? Read the beginning and see if you like it. It hasn't been modified in any way for learners of English, but it is written in a simple style so it shouldn't be too difficult for higher level students. Perhaps intermediate level students in the Workout class might like to give it a try also?! The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Chatterboxes, can you read the extract before Wednesday's class? Here are some questions for you to answer while you read- we can discuss the answers in class on Monday. If you like it, we could perhaps order the book and read it together, what do you think?   In the title, "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency", does Ladies' refer to Mma Ramotswe or her clients?  (Paragraph 1) What qualities make Mma Ramotswe a good detective? (Paragraph 2) Describe what you can see from Mma Ramo

Classes d'anglès a l'estiu

  Benvinguts i benvingudes al bloc English in Alpens!   Arriba l’estiu i arriba una oportunitat de millorar el vostre nivell d’anglès. Voleu preparar-vos per a passar unes vacances a l’estranger? O tenir més fluïdesa per a la feina? Els vostres fills o filles necessiten classes de reforç o han de treure’s el First abans que acabi l’any? En qualsevol cas, tinc una proposta per a vosaltres. Tot just estic planificant classes semiintensives per als mesos de juliol, agost i setembre. De moment he pensat en quatre classes diferents que podrien ser interessants... 1.    Una classe per a principiants que volen fer un curs intensiu per a poder començar a parlar una mica en les situacions més quotidianes, i entendre també una mica. 2.    Una classe per a estudiants de nivell intermedi que volen fer una classe intensiva per a millorar el seu nivell i fluïdesa notòriament. 3.    Una classe per a gent que vol fer servir l’anglès que ja tenen en un context divertit i real fora de l’aula. 4.    Una
