Greetings people!!! Una de las mejores formas de aprender a pronunciar, adquirir vocabulario y fluidez en un idioma es escuchando y cantando sus canciones. Probablemente, la mayoría de nosotros estaría de acuerdo en que las canciones, una vez aprendidas, son muy difíciles de olvidar.
Por eso, para este comienzo de curso 2017/2018 os enseñaremos interesantes expresiones y términos en inglés a través de 10 canciones míticas que entroncan con el tema de la escuela y estudio… ¡Vamos allá!
9) Wonderful World, Sam Cooke
Bueno, no todos pueden ser alumnos modélicos, pero lo primordial… la base siempre hay que afianzarla y con un poco de actitud positiva se puede llegar a lograr lo que nos propongamos, si le ponemos cariño. Sam, no te preocupes… en nuestras aulas no te vas a sentir incómodo.
Don’t know much about history Don’t know much biology Don’t know much about a science book, Don’t know much about the French I took. But I do know that I love you, And I know that if you love me, too, What a wonderful world this would be.
Don’t know much about geography, Don’t know much trigonometry. Don’t know much about algebra, Don’t know what a slide rule is for. But I do know that one and one is two, And if this one could be with you, What a wonderful world this would be.
Now, I don’t claim to be an “A” student, But I’m tryin’ to be. For maybe by being an “A” student, baby, I can win your love for me.
Don’t know much about history, Don’t know much biology. Don’t know much about a science book, Don’t know much about the French I took. But I do know that I love you, And I know that if you love me, too, What a wonderful world this would be.
History Biology Science book French I took. But I do know that I love you, And I know that if you love me, too, What a wonderful world this would be.
- I do know: Lo que sí sé
- Slide rule: aparato parecido a una regla que se usa como apoyo para realizar transformaciones y cálculos básico
- An “A” student: Alumno de sobresalientes
10) Starfish and coffee, Prince
Y terminamos con una canción dedicada a todos los que son especiales, diferentes y únicos… aquellos que van al colegio con una sonrisa siempre y que sólo saben contagiarla. ¿El secreto? Una mente abierta y dispuesta a jugar sin complejos. Cuanto más nos tomemos el aprendizaje como un juego, mejores frutos sacaremos de nuestra dedicación y atención.
It was 7:45 we were all in line
To greet the teacher Miss Cathleen
First was Kevin, then came Lucy, third in line was me
All of us where ordinary compared to Cynthia Rose
She always stood at the back of the line
A smile beneath her nose
Her favorite number was 20 and every single day
If you asked her what she had for breakfast
This is what she’d say
[Chorus]
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If you set your mind free, baby
Maybe you’d understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Cynthia wore the prettiest dress
With different colour socks
Sometimes I wondered if the mates where in her lunch box
Me and Lucy opened it when Cynthia wasn’t around
Lucy cried, I almost died, you know what we found?
[Chorus]
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If you set your mind free, baby
Maybe you’d understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Cynthia had a happy face, just like the one she’d draw
On every wall in every school
But it’s all right, it’s for a worthy cause
Go on, Cynthia, keep singing
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If you set your mind free, baby
Maybe you’d understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
- Greet: Saludar
- Starfish: Estrella de mar
- Butterscotch: caramelo de azúcar Moreno y mantequilla
- Tangerine: mandarina
- Side order: acompañamiento (a un plato principal)
- Lunch box: Fiambrera
- A worthy cause: Una causa justa.
Y no hay causa más justa que la de educar y aprender. ¡Así que vamos todos al cole con una sonrisa y una actitud positiva!
