Christmas is coming!




As it is already a tradition in my English classes, there is no Christmas without adverts,
 so let’s watch five of the cutest ads 2019 in Great Britain. Of course,
 my favourite and one of the most expected  is John Lewis’ ad.
What do you think? 


ADVERT 1: ASDA
Warmer:
What do you most like about Christmas?
What do you do for others at Christmas?

While watching
Watch the video until 0:22: what is she going to use her grandad’s walking stick for?Watch the video until 0:55: what are they going to do with the magic?

After watching:
Which Christmas superpower would you like to have?If you could do anything for anyone at Christmas, what would it be?

ADVERT 2: WALKERS





Warmer:

Do you know Maria Carey? Do you know any of her songs?

She is going to advertise a product. What product will it be?
While watching:
Watch until 0:42. Who is going to get the bag of crisps? Why do you think so? How will they get it? Watch to find out.
After watching:In the video, Maria Carey says:  I love Christmas, It’s a magical time, 

A time for GIVING
A time for CARING
A time for SHARING
-- Add as many lines starting with ‘A time for…’ as you can.
--  Is there anything you would not be prepared to share with anyone else? Why?


ADVERT 3: JOHN LEWIS
My favourite every year!!




The short-film was made in Hungary during the summer - in 30 degree heat - so all the winter scenes had to be created by large amounts of biodegradable fake snow and CGI.
Ten-year-old Scot Ruby had to practise her reactions with another actor as the lovable dragon was computer generated, but the schoolgirl worked perfectly to capture each emotion.

  1. Fireworks go off and the crowd go wild for the two drummers
  2. The television turns itself on to show a music video
  3. The dad and the daughter have a drum duel
  4. He sees a child’s drum kit
  5. The oven transforms into lights
  6. There is a man sitting at a table looking through a catalogue
