This is a fantastic song to review many concepts we've been working on during the school year: comparatives, present simple, past tense (including irregular verbs) and, mainly, having fun with English. Enjoy!

SONG TO HAVE FUN:

THE CAT CAME BACK 

Old Mr. Johnson had some troubles of his own.

He had a yellow cat which wouldn't leave his home.

He tried and tried to give the cat away.

He gave it to a man going far, far away.

Chorus: But the cat came back, the very next day.

The cat came back. We thought he was a goner.

But the cat came back. It just couldn't stay away.

Away, Away, Away

He gave it to a farmer, said he'd take it to a farm.

The farmer drove the tractor with the cat under his arm.

He dropped it in a cornfield, thought he'd surely get lost.

The cat ate up the cornfield at the farmer's cost.

Chorus: But the cat came back, the very next day.

The cat came back. We thought he was a goner.

But the cat came back. It just couldn't stay away.

Away, Away, Away

He gave it to a trucker that was going to Mexico.

The trucker stopped for coffee at a "Trucker Stop & Go".

But while he was a' paying he knew that he was stuck

He saw the cat jump in the cab and take off with his truck.

Chorus: But the cat came back, the very next day.

The cat came back. We thought he was a goner.

But the cat came back. It just couldn't stay away.

Away, Away, Away

He gave it to a pilot with a real nice plane.

The pilot could just fly it far away in one day.

But the pilot had his troubles he couldn't touch down.

Because the cat had the controls and made the pilot turn around.

Chorus: But the cat came back, the very next day.

The cat came back. We thought he was a goner.

But the cat came back. It just couldn't stay away.

Away, Away, Away

He gave it to a train conductor, put it on a train

New England's where the train was headed up to Bangor Maine

He pull down on the brakes those wheels screeched on the track

And as it ran away, conductor said, "Here, kitty cat".

Chorus: But the cat came back, the very next day.

The cat came back. We thought he was a goner.

But the cat came back. It just couldn't stay away.

Away, Away, Away

The cat was taken in by a lovely little girl

She loved that yellow cat, she made that cat her world

Now there is no reason for the cat to come back

Cuz it never has to leave and it likes it like that.

Chorus: But the cat came back, the very next day.

The cat came back. We thought he was a goner.

But the cat came back. It just couldn't stay away.

Away, Away, Away

It likes it where it is. It loves that little girl.

ONLINE DICTIONARY

Hello!

As you know, I don't like translators. You need to think in English and use it without your Spanish. But sometimes it is difficult. How can you say some words that you don't know? EASY! Use this dictionary to look up as many words as you need and to hear the pronunciation of each word.

See you tomorrow children!

OUR FIRST ESSAY

         Famous people are lucky but sometimes they aren’t so lucky.

On the one hand the famous people have got talent and lots of money. The famous people have a lot of jewellery and fans. They have got luxury and mansions.

         On the other hand the famous people have got stress. They have got a lot of bad critics. Paparazzi are very annoying people. They think that they are the best in the planet. 

         In my opinion, I think that famous people have got talent, but they have got bad critics too.
