Here you have the lyrics of the song we worked on in class. Have a look and answer these two questions:
1) Do you think the song is sexist? Why? Why not?
2) Girls, what woud you do if you were a boy? Write a conditional sentence
Boys, what would you do if you were a girl? Write a conditional sentence
If I were a Boy
By Beyoncé
If I were a boy even just for a day
I’d roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted
And go drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it
‘Cause they stick up for me
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
‘Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
‘Cause he’s taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleeping alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
‘Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waiting for me to come home, to come home
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
‘Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
‘Cause he’s taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say it’s just a mistake
Think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
And you don’t understand, oh
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
‘Cause you’re taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
But you’re just a boy

I have found a very interesting activity for you to practice English. It will take place on three different Saturdays: 8th November, 13th December and 10th January in Barcelona (Teatre Llantiol). The show is called ‘La leyenda de King Arthur. Cuentacuentos en inglés’. I know what you are thinking but it is not for children,it is for adults and teenagers and it is in English!!!
You have all the details inthe following link: map, how to get there,etc. It is just 6€!!! You have to book it on line but you don’t have to pay it until the day of the show.

Do you want to know the origins and history of this special day? I worked a bit on that in class with some of you, but it deserves more time. Read the articles first and then watch the videos to understand them better. I think it is very interesting!!! The first video is a bit long and would be more apropriate for the students of 2nd batxillerat, but everydoby is invited! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Here you have the list I promised. You will see 5 columns instead of 3, which I think is better for you to avoid confusion with other tenses (gerund, present simple).
Student of 3rd ESO: you can fill in the gaps of the list you have in Workbook page 127, but you still have to look up the meaning in the dictionary for the exam we will do soon!
Students 2n Batx: it will be good for you as well to revise, although I know many of you already know it, don’t you?

Here you have a song to practice the 3 past tenses we have revised today in class. I’m sorry I didn’t find a song by Columbus, I think he was too busy sailing the sea…
You have to fill in the gaps with the correct verb form meanwhile you watch the video. Ask me for the solutions next week!
