Have Yourself A Sullen Little Christmas

Wham - Last Christmas (with lyrics :D)

Mariah Carey: All I Want For Christmas Is You (Duet with Michael Bublé)

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree.

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas
Is you, you yeah.

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree.

I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day.

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby.

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
And I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe.

I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click.

'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Baby all I want for Christmas is you,
You Baby.

Oh, all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air.

And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?
Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door.

Oh, I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You, You baby.

All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby.

Michael Buble' & Bing Crosby - White Christmas

Sample writing: In your coursebook- page 199/ in your student's resource book-page 20. On this page you have two sample writings and vocabulary exercises which will help you revise vocabulary you can use in your writing.

Sample review: (from CAE Result . Oxford)

Pirates of the Caribbean is a highly enjoyable action/adventure film. It is a gripping action movie that contains adventure, horror and comedy.

Pirate captain Barbosa and his crew of skeletons are in search of the gold coin that will release them from a curse. When they kidnap the local governor’s daughter (Keira knightly), courageous Will, played by the gorgeous Ornaldo Bloom , sets out to rescue her, assisted by Jack Sparrow, whose ship has been stolen by Barbosa.

The acting in Pirates is superb throughout, with all the actors turning in enthusiastic performances, but Johny Depp is outstanding as the sly, rather crazy Sparrow.

The film would make for a great evening’s entertainment. Pirates is a superb family film with something for everyone.
