ROXANNE BY GEORGE MICHAEL

This song is for ROSANA MARTÍN LOZANO wherever she is. Nobody can  believe it. It was her birthday on April 17th and she left us on the 20th. She was 27. She got a 9,5 in the competitive exams. She was the newest teacher at CEPA Joaquín Sorolla. She brought us fresh air, lots of energy and willing. She participated in everything at school and helped everybody.  Her students loved her so much. When I close my eyes, I see her smiling. We miss her and we only had met her two months ago. I can imagine how much her family, boyfriend and friends miss her. I don't know which was her favourite song but for me this song will remind me of her all my life. We'll never ever forget ROSANA.

POSTMAN PAT

Activity for children and all the students
Listen to the song of Postman Pat and see the lovely lanscapes of the English countryside. After that listen again and  read the lyrics. Notice the use of Present Simple and Present Countinuous:


Postman Pat, Postman Pat,
Postman Pat and his black and white cat,
Early in the morning, Just as day is dawning,
He picks up all the post bags in his van.

Postman Pat, Postman Pat,
Postman Pat and his black and white cat,
All the birds are singing, and the day is just beginning.
Pat feels he's a really happy man.

Everybody knows his bright red van,
All his friends will smile as he waves to greet them,
Maybe... You can never be sure,
There'll be knock...[knock knock] Ring [ring ring]
Letters through your door.

Postman Pat, Postman Pat,
Postman Pat and his black and white cat,
All the birds are singing, and the day is just beginning.
Pat feels he's a really happy man.

Pat feels he's a really happy man.
Pat feels he's a really happy man.

You can see episodes of Postman Pat on the Internet. They are 15 minutes long. The language is easy and there are realistic situations of life in the British countryside. You will love it.
