Last week, I made a work about how to teach rhythm:

We know that the differences between english rhythm and spanish rhythm is that English is stress-timed rhythm. When there is a stress word, the speaker increases the volume of their voice.
The sound of unstress syllables is “schwa”
Spanish is syllable-t¡med stress. The syllable have the same intonation.

We can teach the rhythm throuth nursery rhymes:
The nursery rhymes are texts with rhyme, like that, songs and short poems.
For example:

Rain is like train without a T.
East is like beast without a B.
Love is like glove without a G.
Hair is like chair without a C.

THE CONTENT WORDS AND FUNCTIONAL WORDS ARE:

The content words are the stress words, like that, noums, verbs adjetives, adverbs.
1 step: In a song the pupils underline the stress words.
The funcion words are the unstress words, like that, article, prepositions, auxiliary verbs and pronouns.
2 step: The teacher explain them that there are unstress words.
Some words have strong and weak forms in different contexts.
3 step: The teacher puts examples the word, such as, “and” or “of” in different contexts.

HOW TO TEACH THE STRESS PATERN:

The students listen these words:
Sunday, pencil, motor.
The teacher says this stress patterns: “dadi, dadi, dadi”.
And he puts the emphasis in the “da” and he indicates the rhyme with his hand.
Later, the teacher writes the words in the blackboard and he point to the accents of different ways:
Example: Sunday, pencil, MOtor.



There are some methods about this.

Woman rights in Kuwait

Hello everybody!

I have found this new in the BBC:

Women's rights in Kuwait
Hundreds of protesters in Kuwait have held a women's rights protest outside the country's all-male parliament.
The assembly is debating a government request to speed up the passage of a law on women's rights, which was approved by the cabinet last May.
But most Islamic groups in Kuwait are against granting women political rights and the parliament has twice defeated similar measures in recent years.
Should the Kuwaiti authorities do more to improve women's rights in the country? Do you live in Kuwait and are you involved in the protests?.

On my view, I think the woman in Kuwait are capacity for vote. Because they are important in the society and theirs opinion it´s very interesting.
Kuwaiti women must be allowed to vote and be involved in the political process of their country.
This woman need freedom, they can help her country.

What your opinion about this?

THE PUBLICITY

We live in the advertiser`s world. You probable don´t realize how many adverts you see in an average day on TV, in newspaper and in the street. But if you counted them, you`d find over 100 advertiser.

Companies look for the succes of a new product and they use questionnaires to find out information about consumers.
Advertising agencies employ psychologists to analise potential consumers of a product. They put the packets of different-coloured because it look more attractive.
The advertising has a strong influence on children because they want to buy toys and sweet all the time.

The advertising is going to become persuasive they want you feel good when you buy the product.But What about you? What about the brands?

I think, some brands are too expensive but the quality is better than other products. And you, What do you think?

See you soon Diana.

THE FAMILY IN BRITAIN

THE FAMILY

The typical family in Britain headed by two parent, but this is changing during the twentieth century.There has been a rise in the number of single person.

In the past, people get married and stayed married, but with the divorce many couples without getting married.

Moreover people are generally getting marries at later age now and many women don`t want have children immediately. They prefer to concentrate in their jobs and put off having a baby until late thirties,

The numbers of single parents are increasing.

I think this isn`t different to Spain.

I want to write about birthdays in Britain.

Children invite special people to their party though sending birthday cards .The birthday child will have a party with their friend and family and the visitors to the party bring presents for the child birthday. The present are opened as soon as the children are awake.

In the party children play games such as musical chairs but nowadays, parties tend to sleepovers.

The birthday cake is decorated with a theme there is a candle for each year.

It used to be traditional children have bumps. The number of the bumps given is the age of the child plus one for extra good luck.

I hope you like my topic.

See you soon
