Singing in the Rain

This is a very simple exercise for Elementary students. You’re supposed to fill in the blanks with the preposition you hear. The lyrics that I’ve got here are Jamie Cullum’s. Enjoy the song.

Finally!!!

that's_overOh, thank God it really is! But not for a whole year, though. Just two miserable hot summer months to get the darned course syllabus prim and ready for next year’s competitive exams. A dream holiday, no doubt?

Another of Clare Barnes, Jr’s witty captions to silly pictures.

Heath Ledger Eulogy Cloze Test

Never one of my favourites, it still is a pity he died so young. Heath(cliff) Ledger (1979-2008) started his acting career playing Peter Pan on stage at age ten. Alternating between TV and the cinema, he moved into the world of big-budget films when he was cast as Mel (Ugh!) Gibson’s eighteen-year-old son in The Patriot (2000), soon followed by the teen-idol vehicle A Knight’s Tale (2001). However, it wasn’t until his role as Billy Bob Thornton’s son in Monster’s Ball (2001) that he succeeded in showing his genuine talent for the performing arts, which eventually led to being nominated twice for the Academy Awards and winning a posthumous Oscar.

Here’s a brief eulogy by journalist Belinda Luscombe, which appeared on TIME magazine on February 4, 2008. For Advanced students.
