Extra work


I am sorry I could not make it for the lesson yesterday, I am sure you were very sad you missed the lesson. Therefore you can find two activities to do at home.

ACTIVITY ONE
Let´s start with your favourite skill, listening.
Please listen to "Vincent", one of Don Mclean songs. The singer was very impressed by Van Gogh's work and composed this song about him.

Download the handout and the audio track clicking on the icons:

1) Watch the video once just to get used to the music and the words while you read the lyrics.
2) Listen a second time and start filling the gaps.
3) Listen a third time and finish completing the gaps.
Do not worry if you do not understand all the lyrics, you are only required to identify words related to painting, body parts, colours and nature.

Once you have finished, have a look at the clip from youtube that includes the song and paintings by Van Gogh. I will send you the answers during the weekend and we will discuss the song in the next session.

ACTIVITY TWO
-Download this file where you can find a reading on a person who won the lottery and what happened to her and her family. Read the text carefully and answer the questions. If you print it and give it to me in the next session I will correct them for you and give you the mark.
