Fun fact time!
Shakespeare invented half of the words he used! So... before Shakespeare the words 'worthless', 'grovel' and 'assassinate' didn't exist (along with many others!)

Intriguing....

British and American films: My favourites for you to check out!

Hello everyone! After talking to my KET class today I have decided to write up a list of my all-time favourite films in English. Maybe you have seen them or maybe I can persuade you to...

Here are my top 5:

1) Almost Famous - a feel good film about rock music journalism in the 70s. Some amazing music, great fashion and first class acting!

2) Submarine - a film set in Wales about young love. Very funny and quirky (unusual). Very British!

3) Me Without You - a film about friendship that starts in the 70s and ends in the 2000s. It's not a very well-known film but I can guarantee you will enjoy it! It's set in England and has a wonderful soundtrack.

4) Hallam Foe - I am particularly proud of this one as it is set in my hometown - Edinburgh! This film is hard to describe - it's very unusual but really worth watching! Something a bit different...

5) My Girl - an American classic from the early 90s. This is the story of two children and their moving friendship. It really captures the essence of childhood. Be warned - you might cry at this one!


Let me know if you have seen any of these or plan to! Happy watching!



Oops! I almost forgot another absolute favourite of mine: Dead Poets Society. This is incredible. It's about a revolutionary teacher (very inspirational for me!) A must-see!
