File 6D. The Place where I live...

Read the following description about my home town, Cartagena. Pay attention to the use of linking words (in bold)

This is my home town, Cartagena. It is near the coast, in the south of Spain. In Cartagena, there are a lot of things to do. For example, do you like archaeology? Then, you can visit its beautiful Roman theatre and its museum. Do you like shopping? There are lots of shops in the city centre and also in the surrounding areas. Do you like tapas? There are some tapas bars near the port, and a lot of good restaurants in other areas of the city, too.

However, there is a problem. There is a lot of traffic, so some people say that Cartagena is a noisy and polluted town. What do you think?


Now read this tale and answer the question at the end of the story.

File 6. Song: Waterloo Sunset

Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night
People so busy, makes me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright

But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine

Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night

But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine

Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound

And the don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise

Waterloo sunset's fine

I live in a big dark house near the main road. The house has ten windows and two of them overlook the garden. In the garden there is a green fountain with fish and a small swimming-pool.

On the ground floor there is a hall, a kitchen, a living room with lots of photos on the walls, a dining-room, a bathroom and a study room with hundreds of books in a giant bookcase. Upstairs, on the second floor there are three bedrooms, a bathroom and a small toilet.

This house is very cold because it hasn't got central heating. And it's dirty because there are lots of spiders and dust.

Funny stuff: Lip dub at the EOI Murcia, ext. Infante

A lip dub is a type of video that combines lip synching and audio dubbing to make a music video. It is made by filming individuals or a group of people lip synching while listening to a song or any recorded audio then dubbing over it in post editing with the original audio of the song. There is often some form of mobile audio device used such as an iPod. Often, they look like simple music videos, although many involve a lot of preparation and are well produced. The most popular lip dubs are done in a single unedited shot that often travels through different rooms and situations in, say, an office building. They have become popular with the advent of mass participatory video content sites like YouTube.

Here's a sample of what our fellow teachers & students at the EOI Murcia, Ext. Infante did for their "Jornadas Culturales 2010 Edition".

A masterpiece, isn't it?
