Hi Everyone
First of all, well done for a really great class yesterday afternoon! There was a lot of speaking and most people were in English most of the time. This is the way to go - a very positive start!
Here are the links from tonight's class:
We started off with this song - Nobody's Hero by Rush: https://youtu.be/0ZokLZV35MI
While you were discussing the two teenage heroes, I played the soundtrack for Amelie in the background: https://youtu.be/CQG7KVUDaJM
Remember, the word which means 'exchange opinions about something' is 'discuss'. You are discussing something. You are not disgusting, which means 'nojo' or 'repugnante' in Portuguese.
We watched this news item about a 'have-a-go hero' saving a baby who was about to fall from a balcony: https://youtu.be/ZEqWh6fl_sA
The heavy metal guitarist, who you thought was a tall thin old man with a beard and a bandana, was actually Yuki of D_Drive: https://youtu.be/fo4lCKHhfmk
One mischievous student suggested that I should play a Queen song while you were discussing people like the Dalai Lama and the Queen (of England) to confuse you. Pick a Queen song of your choice. 😏
We talked about an ex-student of mine who lost the use of her legs - one of you knew about her through her father.You can find out about her here, here, here and here.
