This blog has been designed to provide information about the activities held at the social studies bilingual sections in CPI Tino Grandío (Guntín,Spain). The English language and Social Studies teachers have elaborated most of the resources you can see but our "auxiliares de conversa" also have their own page and posts. Therefore everyone is invited to have a look .

WHILE LISTENING: Complete the lyrics with the missing past tense forms you have written down before:

Our whole universe ___________ in a hot, dense state
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion ___________, wait
The earth ____________to cool, the autotrophs ____________ to drool
Neanderthals ____________ tools
We ______________ a wall (we ____________ the pyramids)
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries
That all ____________ with the big bang! Hey!


Since the dawn of man is really not that long
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song
A fraction of a second and the elements ____________ made
The bipeds _____________ up straight, the dinosaurs all ___________ their fate
They _____________ to leap but they _____________ late
And they all ________________ (they ________________ their asses off)
The oceans and Pangea, see ya wouldn't wanna be ya
_________________ in motion by the same big bang!




It all __________________ with the big bang!


AFTER LISTENING: Now listen to the song again and check.

Movies and music to improve your English

In this post I am going to mention a couple of applications that might help you improve your English:


  • lyricstraining
    • This website has many songs with activities that will let you listen and write in English. Songs are graded according to their level of difficulty.

  • spotify and musiXmatch 
    • These aplications will let you listen to music in English (Spotify) and if you install musiXmatch, this extension will find the lyrics of the songs you listen to in Spotify. This combination is very useful and also works for mobile phones.

  • pordede 
    • This is a useful website to download movies or TV series with subtitles in English. Remember that this is a Spanish website so not everything is in English or with subtitles in English, but most of the series you will probably like are here.

  • YouTube
    • This website is a great place to find movies, documentaries, TV series or songs. just look for materials in English with English subtitles and there you are.
