Here is the video we have watched to learn some expressions:
bite your tongue [morderse la lengua], hold your breath [estar en vilo], rock the boat [hacer olas -armar jaleo], make a mess [estropearlo todo], breaking point [límite], stand for [aguantar], fall for [dejarse engañar], hold someone down [oprimir], brush off the dust [juego de palabras entre limpiarse el polvo—porque te has caído y te vuelves a levantar— y "brush someone off", rechazar a alguien]: Roar by Katy Perry with subtitles in English and Spanish. The translation into Spanish is quite good.

To review the difference between Past simple and Past continuous —and practice listening, this video of Leonard Cohen singing live one of his most beautiful —and ironic— songs  about the futility of art: "Hallelujah". No exactly your kind of music, but I think you should have a go with it. And if you want the lyrics...

Para repasar la diferencia entre el pasado simple y el pretérito perfecto — y practicar escuchando, este video de Leonard Cohen cantando una de sus canciones más bellas —e irónica— sobre la futilidad del arte: "Aleluya". No es vuestro tipo de música, pero creo que merece la pena que le deis una oportunidad. Si queréis la letra...

Have a nice weekend.
