Stand-up comedy. Humorous monologues

 

I like raw humor (humor rudo, crudo, sin elaborar)

Have you ever seen a show in TV?

In this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMHCgtaz3Jg Piedrahita talks about orangs, at 6:15 minute he talks about mandarin, the orange's daugther.

 

Do you like the next show with Sofia Vergara? (She works at "Modern Family" She is quite inocent)

Download the video

 

 

Sofia Vergara's hosting debut on Saturday Night Live proved to be a success based on LatinoVoices readers response during the live tweeting party last night.

In Vergara's monologue, the Colombian actress joked about being an immigrant in America: “This country welcomed me with open arms and pulled-down pants.”

She joked about her old, whe we see her son, she tell us: "I know what are you thinking about my old, but childs in Colombia growing up quickly, he's only five."

The Modern Family star also poked fun at her accent: "This accent can make anything sound sexy: Gonorrhea... Rick Santorum... New Jersey."

 

We can also enjoy with the next link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJKEkZL9qrM It makes joke about accent of Penelope Cruz.

 

This is unfair, the words for Penelope are a lot more difficult than the words for Sofia.

Types of commercials or advertisements

What do you usually do when the commercials' TV begin?

Channel jumping (zapear)

Going to the bathroom

Good commercials:

  • Are easy to remember

  • Make you think about the qualities of the product

  • Are not boasty (fanfarrón, arrogante) or chauvinist

  • Hold your attention

I like this commercial

Lyrics song Whatever Oasis

I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want 

I'm free to say whatever I
Whatever I like
If it's wrong or right it's alright 

Always seems to me
You only see what people want you to see
How long's it gonna be
Before we get on the bus
And cause no fuss
Get a grip on yourself
It don't cost much 

Free to be whatever you
Whatever you say
If it comes my way it's alright 

You're free to be wherever you
Wherever you please
You can shoot the breeze if you want 

It always seems to me
You only see what people want you to see
How long's it gonna be
Before we get on the bus
And cause no fuss
Get a grip on yourself
It don't cost much 

I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want Here in my mind
You know you might find
Something that you
You thought you once knew
But now it's all gone
And you know it's no fun
Yeah I know it's no fun
Oh I know it's no fun 

I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want 

I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want 

Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Yeah I know it's alright 

Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Yeah I know it's alright

DICTATION

THE SONG OF COMMERCIAL ABOUT ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES - HEY BROTHERS - Avicii

If the sky came falling down you there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you

A song about friends.

 

Look at our book 4C STILL FRIENDS:

 

HOMEWORK: Book page 113, find ten mistakes

 

 

 

 

 

Almost every family today has a TV, in fact probably more than one, and people everywhere spend hours watching it. But a few families choose to live without a TV because they think there are advantages.
The first advantage is that families spend more time talking to each other. Secondly, they spend more time doing more creative things like reading or painting. Thirdly, they spend more time outdoors, and are usually fitter.

On the other hand, there are also disadvantages. For example, children who don't have a TV may feel different from their school friends, and often won't know what they are talking about. Also it is not true that all TV programmes are bad. There are also good ones, like documentaries, and people who live without a TV may know less about what's happening in the world.

In conclusion, although living without a TV has some advantages, I think today it's unrealistic and that we should just try to turn the TV off when there's nothing good on.
