Santa's coming girl!

He's making a list
He's checking it twice;
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Oh!

He knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
You better watch out!
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
So it's that time of year
Where you let all your problems go
And you know you just
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it baby
Do do do do, do do do do do do
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it baby
Do do do do, do do do do do do

So be good for goodness sake!
You better watch out!

Santa tell me

https://youtu.be/TN7PBdQu_PY
Lyrics
Santa tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again
If he won't be here next year
Santa tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can give it all away if he won't be here next year
Feeling Christmas all around
And I'm trying to play it cool
But it's hard to focus when I see you walking around the room
Let it snow, it's blasting now
But I won't get in the mood
I'm avoiding every mistletoe until I know
It's true love that he thinks of
So next Christmas
I'm not all alone, boy
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
I've been down this road before
Fell in love on Christmas night
But on New Year's Day I woke up and he wasn't by my side
Now I need someone to hold
Be my fire in the cold
But it's hard to tell if this is just a fling
Or if it's true love that he thinks of
So next Christmas
I'm not all alone, babe
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
Oh, I wanna have him beside me like oh-oh-oh
On the 25th by the fire place, oh-oh-oh
But I don't want no broken heart
This year I've got to be smart
Oh, baby
If you want me, if you want me
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year

Shake up Christmas

https://youtu.be/n_esVrTTwcg
Ho, ho, ho...
Shake up the happiness
Wake up the happiness
Shake up the happiness
It's Christmas time
There was a story that I was told
And I want to tell the world before I get too old
And don't remember it, so let's December it
And reassemble it, oh yeah
Once upon a time in a town like this
A little girl made a great big wish
To fill the world full of happiness
And be on Santa's magic list
Shake it up, shake up the happiness
Wake it up, wake up the happiness
Come on all, it's Christmas time
Shake it up, shake up the happiness
Wake it up, wake up the happiness
Come on all, it's Christmas time

Ho, ho, ho,
Ho, ho, ho,
It's Christmas time
At the same town miles away
A little boy made a wish that day
That the world would be okay
And Santa Clause would hear him say
I got dreams and I got love
I got my feet on the ground and family above
Can you send some happiness with my best
To the rest of the people of east and the west
And maybe every once in a while
You give my a grandma a reason to smile
'Tis the season to smile
It's cold but we'll be freezing in style
And let me meet a girl one day
That wants to spread some love this way
We can let our souls run free
And she can open some happiness with me
Chrous
I know you're out there
I hear your reindeer
I see the snow wear
Your boots have been
I'm gonna show them
So they will know then
Then love will grow in
They believe again
Chorus
Ho, ho, ho,
Ho, ho, ho,
It's Christmas time
Chorus
Come on all, it's Christmas time
Ho, ho, ho,
Ho, ho, ho,
Ho, ho, ho,
It's Christmas time

All I want for Christmas

https://youtu.be/mK0z1S8SwZc


I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need, and I
Don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow, and I
I just wanna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake
To hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Oh, Baby all I want for Christmas is you
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me
The one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you, baby

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

The 25th of November we celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.


http://www.un.org/en/events/endviolenceday/

November the 25th is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. It was started by the United Nations General Assembly in 1999. The UN asked governments, international organizations and NGOs to raise global awareness of this terrible and widespread problem. This is particularly important in the many countries where the issue of violence against women is hidden. Women all over the world are the victims of domestic violence, rape, psychological torment and other forms of abuse. There is no country in which women are free from violence. The UN said violence against women is a barrier to achieving equality, human rights, development and peace.
International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is observed on November 25 because of a horrific historical event. On this day in 1960, three sisters were brutally killed in the Dominican Republic. The Mirabal sisters were political activists. They campaigned against the corrupt government of that time. Throughout their political activity, the women and their husbands were put in prison and beaten many times. This did not dampen their desire for political change. President and dictator Rafael Trujillo ordered their execution. The sisters became known as the "Unforgettable Butterflies". They symbolized the victimization of women and were commemorated in novels, poems, songs and books.

  • Which organization started the celebration of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women?
  • Why is it celebrated on the 25th of November?
  • Who were the "Unforgettable Butterflies"?

The mystery of the Unforgettable Butterflies

Looking through old boxes, María found this picture. The words Unforgettable Butterflies were written on the back.

Who were the Unforgettable Butterflies?






Clues:
1. Their names were Patria, Minerva and María Teresa.
2. We remember them every 25th of November.
3. They were born in the Dominican Republic.

A book review: Halloween Horror by Gina D.B. Clemen

It's a book about two sisters who move to San Francisco, California. They like Halloween and the sisters and their friends prepare a Halloween party. My favourite character is Kelly, because she sees many things and nobody believes her, until her friends realize that what Kelly says is true. My favourite part is when there are lots of mystery scenes. I wish the end would have been more beautiful.The story is too scary for my liking. I really liked the characters.I recommend this book to those readers who like intrigue and Halloween parties. I would give this book a nine, since I didn't like the ending very much.

Dog for a Day (bedtime Math)

Today we're going to talk about dogs.The following text comes from the Math blog bedtimemath.org



If you have a dog and you go away this weekend, you might need someone to take care of your pooch while you’re away. But then there are people who work all week and wish they had a dog only on the weekend. Hey, wait — they could just share your dog with you! And people really do this. There are dog-share companies out there who help people come together to take turns keeping a dog. Sometimes whole groups of people swap the same dog around and around. It’s a great idea: the dog always gets food and playtime and attention, and everyone gets to play with a pet. It works out perfectly — well, depending on the dog…

Answer the following questions:
1. What is a dog-share company?
2. What is a pooch?
3. Is it a good idea to share a dog according to the text?
4. If you take care of a dog, then your friend gets the dog, then you get the dog, then your friend gets the dog…who gets the dog next?
5. If you get the dog on a Friday and give the dog back 2 days later, on what day does that happen?  Bonus: If you get the dog on Thursday from someone who got it 2 days before that, when did that person get the dog?
6. If you and 5 friends all share Rufus, and each of you gets him for 5 days, how many days does Rufus get shared?  Bonus: If you don’t feed Rufus enough and he chews through your $250 carpet and $80 of your clothes, how much did Rufus cost you?

Present simple

Today we're going to learn how we form and use the present simple.


http://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/grammar-vocabulary/grammar-videos/present-simple

  • We use the present simple to talk about repeated actions or events, permanent states or things which are always true.
  • Permanent states are situations or feelings which are not temporary.
  • We also use the present simple for general facts, for example when talking about science or geography.
  • The third person singular forms end in-s or -es. (He, She, It)
  • For negatives we use the subject + do/does + not + infinitive without to 
  • For most verbs we use the present simple of the verb do/does + subject +infinitive without to to form questions.
Here there are some exercises to practice the present simple:
