Mr Bean´s Daily Routine -- 1º ESO

If you had an extra day in the week ... what could you do?

SPEAKING: 2nd Type Conditionals
Film English Lesson Plan
  • In pairs, ask five questions about your partner’s daily life:  age, job, studies, journey to school, routine and evening pastimes, for example.
  •  Say to each other what you do on a normal day. 
  •  Look at this question:
"If you had an extra day in the week, what could you do?"
  • Write down five things you think your partner would do if he/she had an extra day in the week.
  • When you have finished writing your sentences,  read them to your partner, for example:
“If you had an extra day, I think you’d spend more time with your grandparents.”
  • Your partner should say whether the sentence is right or not.

Now, you  are going to watch a short film called Everyday in which a young couple imagine they had an extra day. 
  •  Watch the film and note down as many of the activities the young couple would do.

LEARNING WITH SONGS

Reported Speech with Jonas Brothers
`Sucker´

Listen to this song and pause the video to report what the 
Jonas Brothers say ... to their wives? Or try reporting the underlined 
sentences from the lyrics below.





"Sucker"

We go together
Better than birds of a feather, you and me
We change the weather, yeah
I'm feeling heat in December when you're 'round me

I've been dancing on top of cars
And stumbling out of bars
I follow you through the dark
Can't get enough
You're the medicine and the pain
The tattoo inside my brain
And baby, you know it's obvious

I'm a sucker for you
Say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly
I'm a sucker for you, yeah
Any road you take you know that you'll find me

I'm a sucker for all the subliminal things
No one knows about you (About you)
About you (About you)
And you're making the typical me
Break my typical rules
It's true, I'm a sucker for you

Yeah
Don't complicate it, yeah
'Cause I know you and you know everything about me
I can't remember
All of the nights I don't remember when you're 'round me

I've been dancing on top of cars
And stumbling out of bars
I follow you through the dark
Can't get enough
You're the medicine and the pain
The tattoo inside my brain
And baby, you know it's obvious

I'm a sucker for you
Say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly
I'm a sucker for you, ooh yeah
Any road you take you know that you'll find me

I'm a sucker for all the subliminal things
No one knows about you (About you)
About you (About you)
And you're making the typical me
Break my typical rules
It's true, I'm a sucker for you

Yeah
(I'm a sucker for you)

I've been dancing on top of cars
And stumbling out of bars
I follow you through the dark
Can't get enough
You're the medicine and the pain
The tattoo inside my brain
And baby, you know it's obvious

I'm a sucker for you
Say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly
I'm a sucker for you, ooh yeah
Any road you take you know that you'll find me

I'm a sucker for all the subliminal things
No one knows about you (About you)
About you (About you)
And you're making the typical me
Break my typical rules
It's true, I'm a sucker for you
I'm a sucker for you

BLEND WORDS


  English is a dynamic language that is constantly evolving. Many of the words in the English language are derived from ancient Latin and Greek or from other European languages such as German or French. But starting in the 20th century, blended words began to emerge to describe new technologies or cultural phenomena. For instance, as dining out became more popular, many restaurants began serving a new weekend meal in the late morning. It was too late for breakfast and too early for lunch, so someone decided to make a new word that described a meal that was a little bit of both. Thus, "brunch" was born.

As new inventions changed the way people lived and worked, the practice of combining parts of words to make new ones became popular. In the 1920s, as traveling by car became more common, a new kind of hotel that catered to drivers emerged. These "motor hotels" quickly proliferated and became known as "motels." In 1994, when a rail tunnel beneath the English Channel opened, connecting France and Great Britain, it quickly became known as the "Chunnel," a word blend of "Channel" and "tunnel."
