Well, well, ready or not, Christmas is here. If you have some time after all the Christmas celebrations and preparation, here you have some activities to improve your English.
I always tend to avoid Christmas carols but after reading Dickens's Christmas Carol and the important role of carolers there, I think that for this year's post you are going to get one. Aren't you excited? The Chosen One is Santa Claus is Coming to Town. I'm sure you've heard it a lot and you might have noticed the use of the structure 'You'd better do something' which is used as a warning or a piece of advice.
Here you have a video with the carol and the lyrics so that you can see this language structure in context and then you can do some of the exercises below.
Had better: explanation + exercises
Had better: additional explanation + more exercises
Had better: more practice, if you aren't tired yet.
Mariah Carey's Santa Claus is Coming to Town version.
Other Christmas songs that I like are:
Mariah Carey, All I want from Christmas is you ( Have you seen Love Actually? If not, you'd better see it. You won't regret it, I promise).
George Michael / Wham, Last Christmas
I wish you all the very best.
May all your dreams come true
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS too!!!
