Now that you are on holidays and with plenty of time to spare , do you fancy playing some word games? There are
tons of them in the Merriam-Webster word games , from spelling games to word Sudokus , but my favourite is Scrabble. Have you ever played this game? I’m sure you have in Spanish, so why don’t you give it a go now in English? It’s highly entertaining and it’ll help you not to forget English.
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people’s gardens
And learn to spit.You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
Written by Jenny Joseph (born 7 May 1932), an English poet
Unfortunately , that’s the word I have most often heard today.
Used as a verb – if a river floods an area that is usually dry, it becomes covered with water
The Nalon river has flooded its banks, making some roads impassable
The Nalon river has flooded whole villages
The relentless rain in Asturias has caused the Nalon river to flood
Used as a noun – An overflowing of water onto land that is normally dry
Fortunately nobody has been killed in the floods in Asturias
The west of Asturias has been badly hit by floods
Tomorrow the flood water is expected to recede
And that’s where I live, Pravia . The picture was taken 3 hours ago.
Como seguramente sabeis,Photopeach ( la herramienta que utilizo para hacer los role-plays) ha decidido hacer limpieza general 😉 justo ahora , por lo que los videos creados antes del 6 de junio no se podrán ver durante algunos días. Pity!!
Ahora mismo, de los publicados solo podeis ver :” at the train station” y estos que acabo de hacer.
At the police station .
At the Antiques Market
Your passport , please!!
This is part of the lyrics of a song by Dolly Parton and it has never been truer.
Photopeach, the tool I have been using to create the role-play videos has decided to take a one-or-two -day maintenance break , just now. I can’t believe it!!
This is what they say on their website so hopefully tomorrow it will be working again
Meanwhile, you can enjoy the Dolly Parton’s song the title of this post makes reference to
