Perfect by Ed Sheeran

Well, this is a PERFECT song to revise irregular verbs. What other tenses can you find apart from simple past ?

I  ............ a love for me
Darling just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well I  ............ a girl beautiful and sweet
I never  ............ you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we  ............ in love

Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're  ............ mine

Baby, I...............in the dark with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you ............ you looked a mess, I ............ underneath my breath
But you ............ it, darling, you look perfect tonight

Well I ............ a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I ............ a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes

Baby, I'............ in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I ............ you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight

Baby, I............ in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight

BREAKING NEWS ON CATALONIA

BREAKING NEWS ON CATALONIA

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HIM/HER. 1ST BACH ORAL PROJECT

Last year I asked my 1st Bach students to prepare an oral project about a person who has done something relevant to humanity, who has managed to change the lives of others for better. People who surprinsingly may have been forgotten. I remember I gave them some examples. In that case I focused on women, as we know they are pretty often the forgotten ones. The outcome of that project had some  lights and lots of  shadows  with students talking about singers,  football players and even wrestling fighters.

This year I am planning to give you the same assignment and I am bringing here what could be a good example. 

Sir Nicholas Winton who organised the rescue and passage to Britain of about 669 mostly Jewish Czechoslovakian children destined for the Nazi death camps before World War II in an operation known as the Czech Kindertransport. This video is the BBC Programme "That's Life" aired in 1988.

He met people he had saved from death when they were kids 

during  a BBC Programme

There is a biographical documentary as well. Have a look at the trailer.

Have you got a talent?

I don't really like music shows such us "The Voice", "Operación Triunfo", etc. but you can also learn with them if they are in English, especially if you like the songs. There are lots of examples. This is one that surprised the jury.

More about. Catalonia

The king on TV and it is not Christmas time. Something big must be going on.
