MONEY MONEY MONEY - MOD 7 UNIT 3

"Money" - Pink Floyd





Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.
Money it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team
Money get back
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off my stack.
Money it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
Money it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking
why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"




"Money" - Liza Minnelli, Joel Grey





Money makes the world go around
...the world go around
...the world go around.
Money makes the world go around
It makes the world go 'round.

A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound
...a buck or a pound
...a buck or a pound.
Is all that makes the world go around
That clinking, clanking sound...
Can make the world go 'round

Money money money money
Money money money money
Money money money...

If you happen to rich
And you feel like a night's entertainment
You can pay for a gay escapade.
If you happen to be rich and alone
And you need a companion
You can ring (ting-a-ling) for the maid.
If you happen to be rich
And you find you are left by your lover,
And you moan and you groan quite a lot
You can take it on the chin,
Call a cab and begin to recover
On your 14-karat yacht! WHAT!?

Money makes the world go around
...the world go around
...the world go around.
Money makes the world go aroung
Of that we both are sure...
*rasberry sound* on being poor!

Money money money money
Money money money money
Money money money...

When you haven't any coal in the stove
And you freeze in the winter
And you curse to the wind at your fate.
When you haven't any shoes on your feet,
Your coat's thin as paper,
And you look 30 pounds underweight
When you go to get a word of advice
From the fat little pastor,
He will tell you to love evermore.
But when hunger comes to rap,
rat-a-tat rat-a-tat at the window
*knock knock* (at the window)
Who's there? (hunger) oh, hunger!!
See how love flies out the door...

For, money makes the world go around
...the world go around
...the world go around.
Money makes the world go 'round
The clinking, clanking sound of...
Money money money money
Money money money money...
Get a little, get a little
Money money money money...
Mark, a yen, a buck or a pound,
That clinking, clanking, clunking sound,
Is all that makes the world go 'round,
It makes the world go 'round!






"Money" - The Beatles




The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
Now give me money
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want

You're lovin' gives me a thrill
But you're lovin' don't pay my bills
Now give me money
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want

Money don't get everything it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
Now give me money
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want, wah

Money don't get everything it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
Now give me money
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want

Well now give me money
A lot of money
Wow, yeah, I wanna be free
Oh I want money
That's what I want
That's what I want, well
Now give me money
A lot of money
Wow, yeah, you need money
now, give me money
That's what I want, yeah
that's what I want




ABBA - Money Money Money





I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball...

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
Ain't it sad
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

TUTORIA PRESENCIAL

Tutorial session for Intermediate Level with José Antonio will be held on Mondays at 19:00

Take this into account when coming to the tutorial session:

'TUTORÍA PRESENCIAL COLECTIVA

Cada uno de los elementos que componen el curso tiene una función primordial: los programas de TV, presentación del material lingüístico y desarrollo de la destreza de comprensión auditiva; el libro, explicación y práctica de lo aprendido, así como desarrollo de las destrezas de lectura y escritura; el CD de audio, CD-ROM, DVD, desarrollo de la comprensión auditiva; el cuaderno de actividades, complementa y facilita la práctica de los diferentes aspectos del curso. Quedaba sin desarrollar, por tanto, la expresión oral.
Es evidente que el aprendizaje de un idioma moderno no se puede concebir sin la práctica oral y, con este fin, dispones, una hora a la semana y dentro del horario que se te asigne, de la ayuda de tu tutor/a en el centro al que pertenezcas.
La tutoría se dedicará principalmente a la práctica oral ya que, al ser éste un curso a distancia, es probable que carezcas de oportunidades para hablar inglés. La práctica oral te ayudará a consolidar los conocimientos nuevos y a retenerlos, a comprobar la pronunciación, a adquirir poco a poco más fluidez y a perder ese miedo que se tiene a la hora de hablar un idioma extranjero.
Como puedes comprobar, la tutoría tiene una gran utilidad. Por lo tanto, es necesario que, si te surgen dudas en el estudio de cada unidad, las resuelvas preferentemente antes de asistir a la tutoría, para así poder dedicar estas sesiones a la práctica oral. En cualquier caso, tu tutor/a te orientará en las técnicas y estrategias que faciliten el proceso de aprendizaje del idioma inglés, anticipándose a las posibles dificultades que se te puedan presentar.
En el libro encontrarás algunos ejercicios abiertos, cuya solución no aparece en la clave de respuestas, que se centran principalmente en la práctica oral y pueden ser la base de actividades que se realicen en la tutoría. Así mismo, encontrarás ejercicios abiertos para desarrollar la práctica escrita, que te aconsejamos realizar y entregar a tu tutor telemático para que te oriente sobre cómo escribir en inglés.
La asistencia a la tutoría, aunque no es obligatoria formalmente, es de gran importancia para que consigas los objetivos del curso y es una magnífica oportunidad para conocer a tus compañeros y compañeras. Debes, por tanto, hacer todo lo que puedas para asistir regularmente a dichas sesiones de tutoría.'

LEANN RIMES - COMMITMENT

LET'S PAY ATTENTION TO /I/ & /i:/

What I'm looking for is a love that's forever.
Someone who can capture my soul in a heartbeat
And stay for all time.

What I'm praying for is a match made in heaven.
Someone who will worship my body and still put
His heart on the line.

Commitment.
Someone who'll go the distance.
I need somebody with staying power
Who will make me go weak in the knees.

Commitment.
And everything that goes with it.
I need honor and love in my life.
From somebody who's playing for keeps.

What I'm searching for is a man who'll stand by me.
Who will walk through the fire and be my
Flame in the night.

Oh, and I won't settle for less than what I deserve.
A friend and a lover who will love me for the
Rest of my life.

Commitment.
Someone who'll go the distance.
I need somebody with staying power
Who will make me go weak in the knees.

Commitment.
And everything that goes with it.
I need honor and love in my life.
From somebody who's playing for keeps.

Yeah, I've had promises broken.
Three words left unspoken.
They just left me achin' for more.
But I've found temptation.
I won't be impatient.
There's one thing worth waiting for...


Commitment.
And everything that goes with it.
I need honor and love in my life.
From somebody who's playing for keeps.

Commitment.
Someone who'll go the distance.
I need somebody with staying power
Who will make me go weak in the knees.

Commitment.
And everything that goes with it.
I need honor and love in my life.

GRAMMAR CHALLENGE

Welcome to Grammar Challenge, the programme where we help language learners use tricky grammatical structures.

Every programme is downloadable as an mp3 and features an expert commentary on that week's grammar. The website contains fun interactive quizzes, grammar tables and an area for you to practise your written English.

Este recurso de internet lo considero muy interesante y recomendable. Se llama Grammar Challenge y es de la BBC. Contiene un podcast con lecciones de gramática impartidas en inglés en las que cada día explican un tema sobre el que luego preguntan a un estudiante extranjero, al que someten a un "reto" (de ahí el nombre de Grammar Challenge).

Cada podcast empieza con una breve charla entre el presentador y el estudiante. Después una profesora explica brevemente el tema del día, tras lo cual el presentador plantea algunas cuestiones al estudiante para que las responda utilizando lo aprendido sobre el tema en cuestión.Para mí lo más destacable es:1) El mismo hecho de ser impartido sólo en inglés.2) La posibilidad de escuchar los distintos acentos de los estudiantes, procedentes de muchas nacionalidades diferentes.3) En apenas unos minutos se repasa un tema gramatical, siempre muy bien y claramente explicado.4) Hay muchísimos temas, que siguen ampliando periódicamente.5) En la página web hay otros recursos sobre cada lección, como textos y ejercicios, que pueden ayudar a comprender mejor los temas.Además, podemos suscribirnos con iTunes o algún otro programa de podcasts de manera que se puede escuchar en cualquier sitio sin tener que estar conectado a internet.
