Saint Valentine's Day

 Let's celebrate Valentin'e Day with stories, poems or rhymes and songs. Send cards to the people you love. Sing inspiration on the words below.

• Listen to a classic love song, from Nat King Cole: L-O-V-E. Then write your own acrostic poem about love.

          

• Many other love songs have nice lyrics so you can learn the language of love: adjectives, hyperboles  or exaggerations ("yours until the rivers all run dry ... until I die"), possessives (my, yours, mine) and comparisons or metaphors.

       >  In "Baby I'm yours" (cover by Arctic Monkeys) notice how big this love is.

• Also watch a cute commercial with a beautiful message here (Reading inspires kids)
• And why not writing a love letter / card (a Valentine) to someone special?

• And do you know the story of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare? Read and watch it on the following sites:  LearnEnglishTeens or LearnEnglish Kids

• If you want a modern version of the story, you can watch Romeo+Juliet, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. See the trailer below.
