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.

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.
