Madame Tussauds

Madame Tussauds, in London, is the world's oldest wax museum. Let's have a look.

Madame Tussauds en Londres es el museo de cera más antiguo del mundo. Echemos un vistazo.

TRANSCRIPT:

Step 1: What's there?

Madame Tussauds has 180 wax models representing celebrities from the past and present, historical and political figures and characters from horror. Each figure is disconcertingly realistic. When a new one is made, experts research the real person as thoroughly as they can, where possible measuring, weighing, photographing and taking plaster casts to ensure that the wax figure matches in every detail - from height to skin texture to ear shape. You can get as close to the wax figures as you like - touch them, hug them and look up their skirts. But there's more to do than look at the figures. Madame Tussauds staff will take professional photos of you with your favourite celebrity. There's also a ride called 'The Spirit of London' which takes you on a journey through London's history.

Step 2: History

It's been on the same spot for over 200 years. Madame Tussaud inherited the business from her uncle, a man called Philip Curtis who made wax anatomical models and then turned to making entire human figures. The oldest figure in the museum is a mechanical model of a princess which breathes in and out. Philip Curtis made it in 1765. Madame Tussauds hasn't lost its appeal since those days - over 2 and a half million people visit each year.

Step 3: Where is it?

It's on Marylebone Road in central London. It is a 2 minute walk from Baker Street tube station and is signposted from there.

Step 4: Further information

To find out more on opening times and ticket prices, and to book a ticket go to www.madame-tussauds.co.uk or phone 0870 999 0046.

Although it's possible to buy a ticket on the day of your visit, queues can be long, so it's a good idea to book ahead. There are substantial discounts for booking online.

TOP TIP Madame Tussauds has links with other attractions so look out for special offers and discounted tickets when booking.

Healthy Food

Image credit

In 2005 it was rumored that the Cookie Monster was going to become the Veggie Monster to teach kids to eat healthy food. It was just a rumor, as the Cookie Monster still keeps on eating cookies. However, despite his love for cookies, he taught children to eat healthily as we can see in this rap in 1987.

En el año 2005 corrió el rumor de que el Monstruo de las Galletas se iba a convertir en el Monstruo de las Verduras para enseñar a los niños a comer sano. Fue sólo un rumor puesto que el Monstruo de las Galletas sigue comiéndolas. A pesar de su afición por las galletas, enseñaba a los niños a comer sano como lo demuestra con este rap sobre la comida sana del año 1987.

Well, me known for eating cookie,
Bien, se me conoce por comer galletas,
When me don't, they shout,
Cuando no lo hago, gritan,
"Look, he trying to throw loyal fans a curve!
¡Mira está intentando sorprender a su leales fans!
What he doing eating fish,
¿Qué hace comiendo pescado,
Or vegetable dish?
O verdura?
Man, he sure got a lot of nerve!"
¡Tío, tiene mucha cara!

Well, me answer you straight,
Bien os lo diré sin rodeos
When me filling up plate,
Cuando me llenaba el plato
Taking only cookies is all wrong!
Con sólo galletas, ¡estaba equivocado!
'Cause you also got to eat
Porque también tienes que comer
Fruit or veggies and meat
Fruta o verdura y carne
If you want to be healthy and strong!
¡Si quieres estar sano y fuerte!

(Chorus)
(Estribillo)

Healthy food!
¡Comida sana!
Boy, it taste so good.
Chico, sabe tan bien.
Me one healthy dude
Yo soy un tío sano
'Cause me eat healthy food.
Porque como comida sana.
Me love it boiled or stewed,
Me encanta cocida o guisada
Me love it whole or chewed.
Me encanta cruda o masticada
You'd feel just great if you'd
Te sentirías de fábula si
Eat some healthy food!
Tomaras comida sana!

Me promise that when you eat varied menu,
Te prometo que cuando tomas un menú variado,
You get more out of every meal.
Sacas mayor provecho de cada comida.
You need balanced diet,
Necesitas una dieta equilibrada,
Come on and try it!
¡Vamos! ¡Pruébalo!
Not believe how great you'll feel!
¡No te vas a creer lo bien que te sentirás!

Munch some carrots or beans
Mastica unas zanahorias o judías
Or poultry or greens,
O pollo o verduras,
Along with your chocolate chip.
Con tus galletas de chocolate.
And banana or plum
Y plátano o ciruela
Will make you go, "Yum!"
Te harán exclamar "¡Qué rico!"
Nutrition... it really hip!
¡La nutrición... mola!

There broiled spring chicken,
Hay pollo a la parrilla
Grapes ripe for picking,
Uvas maduras
And swordfish, tuna and trout.
Y pez espada, atún y trucha.
And apple and cherry,
Y manzana y cerreza,
And all kinds of berry,
Y todo tipo de bayas,
And broccoli and Brussel sprout!
¡Y brócoli y coles de Bruselas
There lettuce, tomato,
Hay lechuga, tomate,
Boiled new potatoes,
Patatas nuevas cocidas,
There spinach and celery and beet.
Hay espinacas y apio y remolacha.
Milk and honey and cheese,
Leche y miel y queso
Peanuts, peppers, and peas,
Cacahuetes, pimientos y guisantes
Pears and peaches and cream of wheat!
¡Peras y melocotones y crema de trigo!

To review the future tense go back to Weekly Links —12
Para repasar el futuro mira en la entrada anterior Weekly Links —12
And to practice, here is a song I think you will like: "Que será será" from Alfred Hitchcock film 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' (1956)

Y para practicar aquí tenéis una canción antigua pero creo que os gustará: "Que será, será" de la película de Alfred Hitchcock, "El hombre que sabía demasiado" de 1956.

When I was just a little girl
Cuando era niña
I asked my mother what will I be
Le preguntaba a mi madre qué seré
Will I be pretty will I be rich
Seré bonita, seré rica
Here's what she said to me
He aquí lo que me decía

'Que Será Será'
Whatever will be will be
Lo que será, será
The future's not ours to see
El futuro no es para que lo veamos nosotros
'Que Será Será'
What will be will be
Lo que será, será

When I grew up and fell in love
Cuando crecí y me enamoré
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
le pregunté a mi amor qué nos esperaba
Will we have rainbows day after day
Tendremos arcos iros todos los días
Here's what my sweetheart said
He aquí lo que mi amor dijo

'Que Será Será'
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see
'Que Será Será'
What will be will be

Now I have children of my own
Ahora que tengo hijos
They ask their mother what will I be
le preguntan a su madre qué seré
Will I be handsome will I be rich
seré guapo, seré rico
I tell them tenderly
Y les digo con ternura

'Que Será Será'
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see
'Que Será Será'
What will be will be
'Que Será Será'

Let's review Relative Clauses:

Restrictive / Essencial / Defining relative clauses

Non-restrictive /Non-Defining relative clauses

If you want to see what I have to tell you about relative clauses, you can go to my explanations on Bon's tips

And to review Conditional Clauses, 'If I needed someone' from the Beatles live in Japan, July 1966.

If I needed someone to love
Si necesitara a alguien para amar
You're the one that I'd be thinking of
Eres en quién pensaría
If I needed someone
Si necesitara a alguien.

If I had some more time to spend
Si tuviera más tiempo
Then I guess I'd be with you my friend
entonces creo que estaría contigo
If I needed someone
si necesitara a alguien
Had you come some other day
si hubieras venido otro día
Then it might not have been like this
Entonces pudiera ser que no hubiera sido así
But you see now I'm too much in love
Pero sabes ahora estoy demasiado enamorado

Carve your number on my wall
Graba tu nombre en mi pared
And maybe you will get a call from me
Y quizá recibas una llamada mía
If I needed someone
Si necesitara a alguien.
Ah, ah, ah, ah

If I had some more time to spend
Then I guess I'd be with you my friend
If I needed someone
Had you come some other day
Then it might not have been like this
But you see now I'm too much in love

Carve your number on my wall
And maybe you will get a call from me
If I needed someone
Ah, ah

As you can see they sweated their lyrics.
Como podéis comprobar, se "curraban" la letra.

Jack of All Trades (Un 'manitas')

image credit

Yesterday Bruce springsteen started his European Tour in Seville, "2012 Wrecking Ball Tour", so here is another song from his last album in which Springsteen mixes his barely contained rage about what is happening with the hope we can get out it all together.

Ayer Bruce Springsteen empezó su gira europea en Sevilla. Así que aquí va otra de las canciones en las que Springsteen mezcla su rabia por lo que ocurre con la esperanza de salir entre todos.

Jack-of-all-trades [and master of none. ]

Quien mucho abarca, poco aprieta. Se dice de quel que sabe un poco de todo pero no es experto en nada.

I’ll mow your lawn, clean the leaves out’ your drain
Cortaré el césped, quitaré las hojas del desagüe
I’ll mend your roof, to keep out the rain
Arreglaré el  tejado, para que no entre lluvia
I take the work that God provides
Cojo el trabajo que Dios provee
I’m a jack of all trades, honey we’ll be all right
Soy un manitas, cariño estaremos bien.

I’ll hammer the nails, I’ll set the stone
Clavaré los clavos, y fijaré la piedra
I’ll harvest your crops, when they’re ripe and grown
Recogeré la cosecha, cuando esté crecida y madura
I’ll pull that engine apart,
Desmontaré ese motor
and patch’er up ’til she’s running right.
Y remendaré [el coche] hasta que funcione bien
I’m a jack of all trades, we’ll be all right.
Soy un manitas, estaremos bien.

The hurricane blows, brings the hard rain
El huracán sopla, y trae lluvia intensa
When the blue sky breaks
Cuando el cielo azul aparece
It feels like the world’s gonna change
Parece como si el mundo fuera a cambiar
And we’ll start caring for each other
Y empezaremos a cuidar unos de otros
Like Jesus said that we might.
Como Jesús dijo que hiciéramos
I’m a jack of all trades, we’ll be all right.
Soy un manitas, estaremos bien.

The banker man grows fat, working man grows thin
El banquero engorda, el trabajador adelgaza
It’s all happened before and it’ll happen again
Ya ha ocurrido antes y volverá a ocurrir
It’ll happen again, yeah they’ll bet your life
Volverá a ocurrir, sí, ellos jugarán con tu vida
I’m a jack of all trades, darling we’ll be all right.
Soy un manitas, cariño, estaremos bien.

Sometimes tomorrow comes soaked in treasure and blood
A veces el mañana viene empapado de riqueza y sangre
We stood the drought, now we’ll stand the flood
Aguantamos la sequía, ahora aguantaremos la riada
There’s a new world coming, I can see the light.
Hay un mundo nuevo en camino, veo la luz
I’m a jack of all trades, we’ll be all right.
Soy un manitas, estaremos bien.

So you use what you’ve got and you learn to make do
Así que usas lo que tienes y aprendes a arreglártelas
You take the old, you make it new.
Coges lo viejo, y lo haces nuevo.
If I had me a gun, I’d find the bastards and shoot ’em on sight.
Si tuviera una pistola, buscaría a los malnacidos y los mataría sin previo aviso.
I’m a jack of all trades, we’ll be all right.
Soy un manitas, estaremos bien.
I’m a jack of all trades, we’ll be all right
Soy un manitas, estaremos bien.

Prince Charles, weatherman

image credit

Last Thursday, to celebrate 60 years of television broadcasting in Scotland, Prince Charles delivered the weather forecast with his usual sense of humour. The script had been specially written to include the reference to royal residences in Scotland: Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Balmoral and Castle of Mey.
The Prince didn't know about it, so when he noticed the joke, he first chuckled then he couldn't help asking:"Who the hell wrote this script?"

El jueves pasado, para celebrar los 60 años de radiodifusión televisiva en Escocia, el príncipe Carlos dio el próstico del tiempo con su habitual sentido del humor. El guión había sido especialmente escrito con referencias a las residencias reales en Escocia: Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Balmoral and el Castillo de Mey. El príncipe no lo sabía, por eso cuando nombra la primera residencia se sorprende y después no puede dejar de bromear: "¿Quién diablos ha escrito este guión?"

"Well, it’s an unsettled picture as we head towards the end of the week.
This afternoon it’ll be cold, wet and windy across most of Scotland.
We are under the influence of low pressure and this weather front pushing northwards is bringing clouds and outbreaks of rain.
The rain, of course, will be heaviest over the borders and around Edinburgh, where it could lead to difficult conditions on the roads.
In the west, rain will be lighter and patchier with maybe a few drier interludes over Dumfries House in Ayrshire. There will be snow for the higher ground of the Highlands and Aberdeenshire. There will be the potential for a few flurries over Balmoral —who the hell wrote this script!— as the afternoon goes on.
The best of the drier and brighter weather will, of course, be over the northern isles and far north of the mainland.
So a little hazy sunshine for the Castle of Mey and Caithness. But a cold day everywhere with temperatures of just eight celsius and a brisk north easterly wind. Thank God it isn’t a bank holiday!"

"Bien, se presenta un cuadro algo inestable conforme nos acercamos al fin de semana.
Esta tarde el tiempo será frío, húmedo y ventoso en la mayor parte de Escocia.
Estamos bajo la influencia de bajas presiones y este frente que se desplaza hacia el norte traerá nubes y chubascos.
La lluvia, por supuesto, será más intensa en las costas y alrededor de Edinburgo, lo que podría dificultar el tráfico en las carreteras.
En el oeste, la lluvia será más suave y dispersa con algunos intervalos sin nubes en Dumfries House en Ayrshire. Habrá nieve en las zonas más elevadas de las Tierras Altas y Aberdeenshire. Habrá posibles ráfagas de viento con lluvia sobre Balmoral —¿Quién diablos ha escrito el guión?— a medida que avanza la tarde.
El tiempo más seco y soleado será, claro, en las islas del norte y en la zona norte. Por lo tanto, una pizca de bruma soleada en el castillo de Mey en Caithness. Pero frío en todas partes con temperaturas de apenas 8 grados y viento frío del noreste. Gracias a Dios no es día festivo."

The topic of the week: MUST.

The song, it 'Must Be Love' is played by Madness. Here are the lyrics in English.

I never thought I'd miss you
Half as much as I do
And I never thought I'd feel this way
The way I feel
About you
As soon as I wake up
Every night, every day
I know that it's you I need
To take the blues away

It must be love, love, love,
It must be love, love, love,
Nothing more, nothing less
Love is the best

How can it be that we can
Say so much without words?
Bless you and bless me
Bless the bees
And the birds
I've got to be near you
Every night, every day
I couldn't be happy
Any other way

It must be love, love, love,
It must be love, love, love,
Nothing more, nothing less
Love is the best

As soon as I wake up
Every night, every day
I know that it's you I need
To take the blues away

It must be love, love, love,
It must be love, love, love' It must be love, love, love...

Possessive Nouns - the apostrophe S

And here are some exercises to practice:

Mon_Exercise 1     Mon_Exercise 2      Mon_Exercise 3     Mon_Exercise 4    

('Mon' before 'Exercise' is a joke with a pupil. Don't pay attention to it.)
(Lo de 'Mon' delante de 'Exercise' es una broma con un alumno. No tiene importancia.)

And to finish, a music video: 'My Father's Eyes" by Eric Clapton. It's worth seeing him playing the guitar and listening to his music.

Sailing down behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.

Just a toerag on the run.
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.

Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.

Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That's when I need them,
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.

Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.

As my soul slides down to die.
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.

My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes
