5th Day: film Gran Budapest Hotel

1. Very nice summary from Gui:
First of all we were talking about the film that we watched yesterday and then we did our own film, using more or less the same guide AS the "real" film and interpretting the characters. Then we continueD with the differences and stereotypes between British and American people and their common vocabulary, listening TO a Sting song called "Englishman in New York".
After the break, we listened TO a Beyonce song called "At LAst" and we saw a Obama picture OF OBAMA dancing with his wife and we talked about the relationship between the lyrics of the song and the picture.
Next, we discussed about republic and monarchy.
 Finally we found some genres of movies and an example of each one.

2. Now about the film.
 - Don't forget that tomorrow the film is at 16.00, so go directly to the Auditorium ( Salón de Actos) on the Ground Floor
- Although I handed out the exercise for the film, here it is online. This way you can click onto links.

3. Wonderful website for practicing your pronunciation for your presentations and to hear the difference between British and US English. .

  CLICK HERE Then enter word or sentence(s) you would like to hear pronounced, click onto "voice" and enter the name of a male or female  from the UK or US according to what you want and click on SAY IT. You can listen to the other accents too, but they are less useful as models.

4. Finally don't forget to post your favorite love song in English on the Comments of yesterday's Post.
