Let's have some laughs! =D

You just took a test, so I thought you would need a laugh!

At the beginning of this year, when we started this blog, Francesca told me she usually follows an English TV show, Jimmy Fallon (if I'm not wrong).. and I thought about another show I usually follow that always makes me laugh a lot.

The anchorwoman (presentatrice) of such TV show is Ellen Degeneres, one of America's most well-known  (conosciuta/ famosa) comedians. She also provided (dato) her voice to Dory, in the animated film "Finding Dory".





In the second video, she was with Kristen Bell, who gave her voice to princess Anna in Frozen!




Like Fallon, she sometimes interviews different famous people, but she does it in a funny way...


...or she makes parodies of song videos or films! Look here (try to watch them with subtitles)







And finally look at her playing Taboo with Katy Perry



I think she's great and hilarious! What do you think? Would you like to watch some more videos with her? Do you watch videos in English sometimes ? What kind of videos do you like to watch?

St Paddy's Day

Did you know that yesterday it was Saint Patrick's Day?

St Patrick's Day occurs annually on March 17 in observance of the death of St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

What began as a religious feast day in the 17th  century has evolved into a variety of festivals across the globe celebrating Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing and a lot of green!

If you don't remember the history of Saint Patrick's Day... here is a funny video for you!




But St Patrick's Day is not celebrated just in Ireland: indeed people of Irish heritage celebrate it all over the world!




In Chicago they even colour the river in green!


Ehm... poor dog!

Can you think of a similar celebration here in Italy?

Comparison

As I promised, I'm posting a couple of pictures about comparatives formation.

Here you can take a look at the structure (moreover you can also see how to form the superlative... that we're going to learn next week!):





Such as in the previous posts (come nei post precedenti), I'm posting some videos too!



When in the summary it says C+V+C... it stands for ( sta per) Consonant + Vowel + Consonant


In the next video, instead, you have some songs with examples of comparisons:




As in one of the songs we listened to...

.... don't give up with English: what doesn't kill you, makes you STRONGER!😉

Have a nice weekend!
