Practice in home

1) Initial songs to practice

Homework for Mondays and Fridays.

This homework has the objective to make you feel confident with your pronunciation
and improve your listening. It will be easier to reach your goal if you practice enough.

Directions:
1. First you will choose your favorite song from the list.
2. Then you will listen the song and write what you listened in your song book.
3. After that, you will look for the song lyrics in Google or the web navigator that
you prefer.
4. Compare what you wrote and the correct lyrics, so the correct way can keep in
your mind.
5. Finally, you will do the fun and scary part, you must sing the song. You can start
with the next song, when you can sing the one that you learned, OUT LOUD
and WITH OUT READING.
6. I will need evidence of your homework, so bring your song book with every
new song and send me your audio record singing it.

List of initial songs:

 “ABC” by Jackson 5
 “Always on My Mind” by Elvis Presley
 “And I Love Her” by The Beatles
 “Beautiful Day” by U2
 “Every Breath You Take” by The Police
 “Manic Mondays” by The Bangles
 “California Dreaming” by The Mamas and the Papas
 “Live Forever” by Oasis
 “Wind by Akeboshi”
 “Counting Stars by one republic”

2) About the vocabulary

The best way to upgrade your vocabulary is reading. So, we are going to read at least 2
pages on Tuesday and Thursday.
Directions:
1. We will choose a book from the list.
2. You will send me an audio record of you reading the 2 pages.
3. I will correct all the mistaken words by WhatsApp audios.
4. Every Monday, we will talk about what you read.
5. You must underline the difficult words whether it is hard to pronounce or
understand, so we can check them in the next day of classes.

List of initial books:

 Charlotte´s Web by E. B. White

 The Cantevile Ghost by Oscar Wilde
  Midsummers Night’s Dream by Shakespeare
 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer´s Stone by J. K. Rowling
 Animal Farm by George Orwell

3)For the Weekends

One of the most popular ways to have fluent conversations is watching well-known
movies or TV shows. So, it is important that you can do it at least in the weekends.
You must watch it with English audio and subtitles, pay attention to the characters
faces and reactions.

We all learn our native language by paying attention to the people around us. This
will help you to eliminate the unnecessary step of translate the words in your brain
before understanding. DON’T STOP the movie each time that you can’t understand
some word, the idea of this exercise is that you can relate what is happening in the
movie with the audio and the subtitles to generate a general idea, not word by
word. Later, you will learn all the words that you didn’t understand. I can SUGGEST
some easy programs to learn in this list:

Comedies are easier for learning:

 Friends
 How I met your Mother
 The Ranch
 Modern Family

4) About Classes
We will start defining the topic of the class the previous day. So, we can have an
interesting conversation in each class. Progressively, you will improve your fluency
and your confidence with English talks.
