File 6C. On the Catwalk (Present Continuous & Clothes revision)

Naomi Campbell is the best top model on the catwalk.

In the photo she's modelling casual clothes by Calvin Klein. Naomi's wearing a brown jacket and matching grey top. She's wearing jeans too. For a perfect look, she's wearing a golden belt and some bracelets.

But Naomi is sophisticated. She never wears casual clothes when she isn't working. She prefers dresses and high-heeled sandals.

File 6B: A Haunted House (Vocabulary)

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.

Strange things happen at night ...

Be careful with monsters and try to do these activities.

Vocabulary:
- Other rooms /things you may find around the house.

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?
