En esta sección pondremos las canciones y las letras que hemos trabajado en clase en 3º y 4º de primaria.

AVICII. WAKE ME UP

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
[x2]

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
And I don't have any plans
I wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is a prize


So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
[x2]

I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost

KATRINA AND THE WAVES. LOVE SHINE A LIGHT

 Love shine a light in every corner of my heart

light up the magic in every little part let our love
shine a light in every corner of our hearts 

Love shine a light in every corner of my dream
let the love light carry, let the love light carry
like the mighty river flowing from the stream
let our love shine a light in every comer of our dreams 

Chorus:
and we're all gonna shine a light together
all shine a light to light the way
brothers and sisters in every little part
let our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts 

Love shine a light in every corner of the world
let the love light carry let the love light carry
light up the magic for every boy and girl
let our love shine a light in every corner of the world

IRENE CARA. WHAT A FEELING. (B.S.O. FLASHDANCE)

 "Flashdance... What A Feeling"

First when there's nothing
But a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide
Deep inside your mind

All alone, I have cried
Silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel
Made of stone

Well, I hear the music
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart

What a feeling
Being's believing
I can have it all
Now I'm dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life

Now I hear the music
Close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a flash, it takes hold of my heart

What a feeling, being's believing
I can have it all
Now I'm dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
Now I'm dancing through my life

What a feeling

What a feeling (I am music now)
Being's believing (I am rhythm now)
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life

What a feeling (I can really have it all)
Being's believing
(Pictures come alive when I call)
I can have it all (I can really have it all)
Have it all (pictures come alive when I call)
(Call, call ,call, call, what a feeling)
I can have it all (being's believing)
Being's believing (take your passion)

WORLD BOOK DAY (DIA MUNDIAL DEL LIBRO). WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

WORLD BOOK DAY

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Why is Shakespeare famous?

Who was William Shakespeare?

William Shakespeare is one of the world's greatest writers. He wrote plays for the theatre. He wrote poetry too.
Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, in England. Later he went to London, to be an actor. But he became famous for writing plays. His friends said he was the best writer of his time. Most people now say he was the best of all time.

Why is Shakespeare so famous?

Shakespeare lived more than 400 years ago. Yet people still go to see his plays.
Shakespeare plays are performed all over the world. Students study Shakespeare in school and at university. People write books about Shakespeare. There are Shakespeare theatres and Shakespeare festivals.

When did Shakespeare live?

William Shakespeare was born in 1564. He grew up in Tudor England in the time of Queen Elizabeth I.

He lived in exciting times. Francis Drake sailed around the world (1577-1580). Shakespeare was probably in London when the Spanish Armada sailed to attack England in 1588. He saw the coronation of King James I in 1603. 1605 was the year of the Gunpowder Plot and Guy Fawkes. Shakespeare died in 1616.

The young Shakespeare

The Shakespeare family

Baby William was christened (baptised a Christian) on 26 April 1564. Many people think his birthday was 23 April - St George's Day.

Shakespeare's father was John Shakespeare, a glove-maker. His mother Mary was the daughter of a farmer named Robert Arden. His grandfather was a farmer too.

School days

John Shakespeare was an important man in the town of Stratford. In 1568, he was mayor. He sent William to the town grammar school.

The boys at the school had lessons in Latin, Greek and history. They had to work hard. If boys were naughty, the teacher beat them.

Having fun

Shakespeare and his friends played in the fields. They went fishing and swimming in the River Avon.
When Shakespeare was about 5, a group of actors came to Stratford. Perhaps he was taken to see their show. When he was 11, he may have seen Queen Elizabeth, who made a visit to Kenilworth Castle. For her, there were plays, dances, music, feasts and fireworks!

Shakespeare gets married

Young Shakespeare left school by the time he was 16. We do not know what job he did. Perhaps he worked as a teacher. Perhaps he helped his father.

In 1582, Shakespeare got married. His wife, Anne Hathaway, was a farmer's daughter. She was 8 years older than him. Soon they had a family - a daughter Susanna, and in 1585 twins, named Judith and Hamnet.

Shakespeare in London

The mystery years

Shakespeare did not write his life story. Some of his life is a mystery.
Some time before 1590, he left Stratford. One story says he had to run away from home, after poaching deer. But this is probably just a story.
He may have been a tutor in a rich family's home. He may have joined a travelling group of actors. He may have gone off to be a soldier. In the end he went to London.

Why London?

London was the biggest city in England, though much smaller than today. London had markets, shops, taverns (inns), churches and palaces. The River Thames was busy with ships.
London was where poor people went hoping to make their fortunes. And London had theatres!

London's theatres

London's first theatre or 'playhouse' opened in 1576. By 1590, there were several theatres, such as the Rose, the Theatre and the Curtain.

Shakespeare became an actor. Soon he was writing plays too.

 Plays in Shakespeare's time

• A new theatre:
  
  Shakespeare was a member of a company of actors, called the Lord Chamberlain's Men.
  In 1598, they built a new theatre. It was round. They called it the Globe.
  The Globe was open to the sky. A flag was raised to show a play was about to begin. Plays began at 2 in the afternoon.
  
  
  What were theatres like?
  
  Some people stood in front of the stage. Others had seats. Rich men paid 12 pennies (one shilling) to sit on the stage. The audience shouted and clapped, laughed and booed.
  Over the stage was a roof, to keep off the rain. Actors could be lowered from the roof on wires. There was a trap door in the stage too. So actors could pop up to surprise the audience.
  
  
  The new Globe
  
  The modern Globe Theatre in London is a replica (copy) of Shakespeare's Globe. People can watch plays just as people did in Shakespeare's day.
  The new Globe opened in 1997. The first play was Henry V - just as when the first Globe opened in 1599. 
  
  
  Actors in Shakespeare's day
  
  In Shakespeare's time, there were no women actors. Women's parts were played by boys. For a time, child actors were more popular than grown-actors.
  Actors wore the clothes of the day, with wigs and make up. Shakespeare is said to have played the Ghost in his play Hamlet. 
  
  
  Special effects
  
  Plays had exciting special effects. There were ghosts, witches, loud bangs, flames and smoke, drums, and even cannons.
  In 1613, during Shakespeare's play Henry VIII, a cannon set fire to the straw in the roof. The Globe burned down.
  
  
  Shakespeare's plays
  
  Shakespeare wrote comedies, stories with a happy ending. These plays often have people falling in love, wearing disguises, and generally getting mixed up. A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy with fairies and humans.
  
  
  He wrote tragedies, stories with a sad ending. Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy, because the young lovers, Romeo and Juliet, both die.
  
  
  Shakespeare's history plays are about real people, such as Julius Caesar, the Roman general, or the English kings Henry V and Richard III.
   coronation procession.
  Between 1600 and 1608, Shakespeare wrote some of his greatest plays. They include Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth.
  
  
  
  
  Shakespeare's last years
  
  By 1613, when the Globe burned down, Shakespeare had left London. He lived quietly in Stratford.
  
  In 1616, his friend Ben Jonson came to visit. They drank wine and ate pickled herrings. Then Shakespeare fell ill. He died on 23 April 1616. He was 52.
  
  Shakespeare's plays
  
  Shakespeare wrote (or helped write) at least 38 plays.
  The plays were first printed as books in 1623. His friends wanted to stop other people selling bad copies of the plays, full of mistakes.
  
  What else did Shakespeare write?
  
  Shakespeare wrote some long poems, and lots of short poems called sonnets. In his plays, people speak in poetry too.
  
  The language of Shakespeare
  
  Shakespeare used more English words than any other writer. He made up words and expressions too. When someone says quick as a flash, blinking idiot or I haven't slept a wink, you are listening to Shakespeare.
  
  The English language has changed since Shakespeare's time. So he is not always easy to read.

THERE IS/THERE ARE

THERE IS/THERE ARE

La estructura en ingles 'there is' y 'there are' se utiliza para expresar cantidad. Vamos a ver un ejemplo para comprender a qué hacemos referencia.

Hay una mujer en el parque.                 Hay dos mujeres en una cafetería.

¿PARA QUÉ SIRVE?

Utilizamos las formas 'there is' y 'there are' para expresar 'haber' en inglés. A diferencia del español si hay distinción entre singular y plural.

¿CÓMO SE FORMA?

Lo único que debemos tener en cuenta para usar esta estructura es si estamos hablando de singular o plural.

AFIRMATIVA: Utilizamos ‘there is’ con cuando hablamos en singular. Sin embargo, si hablamos en plural utilizamos ‘there are’.

there + is/are + resto de frase

Hay una mujer en el parque.

There is a woman in the park.

Hay dos mujeres en una cafetería.

There are two women in a café.

* Recuerda que la forma en singular puede contraerse (I.e. There's a woman in the park). La forma plural no se puede contraer.

NEGATIVA: Para hacer las negaciones negamos el verbo ‘to be’ añadiendo la partícula ‘not’ detrás del verbo o con la forma contraída.

there + isn't/aren't + resto de frase

No hay una mujer en el parque.

There isn’t a woman in the park.

No hay dos mujeres en una cafetería.

There aren’t two women in a café.

* Podemos encontrar la forma completa 'there is not' o 'there are not', pero es mucho más común la forma contraída.

INTERROGATIVA: Para la formación de preguntas necesitamos invertir el verbo ‘to be’ y la partícula 'there', tal y como vemos en el ejemplo.

is/are + there + resto de frase?

¿Hay una mujer en el parque?

Is there a woman in the park?

¿Hay dos mujeres en una cafetería?

Are there two women in a café?

RESPUESTAS CORTAS: Para dar respuestas cortas debemos utilizar la forma correspondiente del verbo 'to be', respetando si es singular o plural.

Is there a woman in the park?

Yes, there is / No, there isn’t

Are there two women in a café?

Yes, there are / No, there aren’t

* Utilizamos la forma completa en las respuestas afirmativas, mientras que utilizamos la forma contraída en las respuestas negativas.

¿QUÉ DEBO RECORDAR?

Lo importante que debemos tener en cuenta es lo siguiente:

·         Recuerda que el verbo 'haber' en español es impersonal y por lo tanto no hay diferencia entre singular y plural. Sin embargo, en inglés sí distinguimos entre singular y plural.

·         Recuerda que no podemos traducir esta estructura literalmente, por lo que es importante reconocerla para utilizarla correctamente.
