<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #454545; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">(1) The story is about a man
who has hallucinations and tries to tell his wife about the things he sees. But
his wife gets impatient and warns him to stop telling unreal stories or she
will lock him up in a medical institution.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #454545; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #454545; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The man continues, so his
wife desperately calls a medical institution. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #454545; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">However, when the doctors
arrive they find the woman is very excited and the man very is quiet and
coherent, so they think the crazy one is the woman and take her to the
institution instead of her husband.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #454545; font-family: Georgia;">(2) This is
the story of a man who plans to lock up his wife in a mental institution. So,
he invents a lie to pretend he is nuts, and when his wife calls a doctor he
denies everything and he makes the doctor and the policeman believe that the
woman is crazy. Finally, they take her with them and his plan is a success.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #454545; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #454545; font-family: Georgia; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Yesterday
I went to my cousin’s house. I was alone in her bedroom waiting for her, when I
heard voices in the room next to the bedroom. My aunt was having an argument
with a man who wasn’t my uncle (I know my uncle’s voice). A few minutes
later I went to the bathroom and the door of this room was opened. I could see
my aunt kissing the man, and she saw me! She asked me not to say anything, and
I accepted. Now when I see my uncle, silence is a stone in my mouth. (by <b>Manuela</b>)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Georgia;">The truth is that silence is a stone in
my mouth. Why? Because yesterday I saved a friend when my school's head teacher
was going to kick him out for setting a rubbish bin on fire.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Georgia;">The head teacher asked me if I knew who
was responsible, and I said yes, but that I wouldn't say who he was. They told
me that they were going to punish me, and nobody in our class would go on an

important. (by </span><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Georgia;">Bautista</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Georgia;">)</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Georgia;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The problem is that if her new boyfriend learns about this tattoo, she will be

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to this new post where we are going to begin revising and practising a grammar point: <span style="background-color: cyan;">-ed/-ing adjectives</span>. These adjectives are confusing and students usually have difficulties using them properly. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Remember we use </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: cyan;">-ed</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> adjectives to talk about feelings:</span><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">I am frightened</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Remember we use </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: cyan;">/-ing </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">adjectives </span><span style="font-size: large;">to talk about the situations that cause the feelings.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>That movie is frightening!</i></span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Understanding oral English may be the most difficult activity for students. So, here is an interesting proposal to develop this skill "Lyrics Training" website where you will be able to fill in gaps and enjoy music and a video at the same time. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Lyrics Training</b> is an easy and fun method to learn and improve your foreign languages skills like <span style="background-color: lime;">English </span>through the music and lyrics of the songs."</span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></i><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once you have chosen the song you want to listen to, select the "game mode" : beginner, intermediate or expert. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-VWgEyxHRPv_6nu7EDz7RDjfPJ5UGzD21a1MyRW_34oio5vioefsUeA_GSOsQRzZ3vPyEvu2sN6CqLDnufh-vSuMWuY2Sl1lZ8-2jF-WPIiIBClDksLmPlhrYo-7mdljAB0jAwD7DZ1I/s1600/Game+mode.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-VWgEyxHRPv_6nu7EDz7RDjfPJ5UGzD21a1MyRW_34oio5vioefsUeA_GSOsQRzZ3vPyEvu2sN6CqLDnufh-vSuMWuY2Sl1lZ8-2jF-WPIiIBClDksLmPlhrYo-7mdljAB0jAwD7DZ1I/s320/Game+mode.JPG" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then a new window will appear with a YouTube video + incomplete lyrics. The picture below shows the song "My Heart Will Go On" from the movie Titanic ( it is so romantic!!! )</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You have to fill in the blanks while you are listening to the song. You get instructions about how to use the tool and/or get hints to fill in the gaps by clicking on HELP (see picture below)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can do the listening activity as many times as necessary. <span style="background-color: #9fc5e8;">Remember:</span> if you get a high scoring doing the beginner level, you can step to intermediate or experienced!</span><br />
