2º NB - Time is running out... Times and dates

Dear students & readers of this blog,

In our Basic level class, we have been talking about routines and, to be able to speak about our daily routine properly, we need to use the time and time expressions. Let's make a summary of what we saw.

How can we ask for the time to someone? We have different ways:

- Excuse me, what time is it, please?
- Excuse me, what is the time, please?

There are two ways of giving the time:

- Analogue

- Digital

To learn to say the time from an analogue clock, click on the words ANALOGUE TIME

For the Digital time, you just have to read the numbers on the watch, saying the hour first, and then the minutes.

Want to practise? Click on Bang on Time and start playing!!

I'm late! I'm late! I don't have time to say hello or goodbye! I'M LATE!!!!!!




We also saw the dates. First, the months of the year. Here's a video that can help you with the pronunciation:

And as a perfect end , a song I really like: TIME IS RUNNING OUT (the lyrics are below)



"Time Is Running Out"


I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
That you've created

You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction

You will be the death of me
You will be the death of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted

Now that you know I'm trapped
sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation

You will squeeze the life out of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Oh

You will suck the life out of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?

Oh
