As we have been practising the conditional sentences for quite a long time and it still seems to me
you have problems ,I have thought of this song by The Beach Boys.
The song is "Wouldn´t it be nice if we were older?. It is for a little bit of practice. Anyway I wouldn´t be surprised to investigate that some of you not only have heard of this group but know the lyrics by heart, too.
The Beach Boys are an American rock band,formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, California.The lyrics reflect a Sourthern California youth culture of surfing,cars,and romance.I hope you like it. And don´t forget to read the lyrics.
In order to practise more here are some links, in my Delicious bookmark.
We started hearing in the news about Egypt some weeks ago. Many things have happened since then.
First of all, you should know that Egypt´s revolution began on 25 January, called the "Day of Revolt".
What happened then? Thousands of people gathered at Cairo´s Tahrir Square in order to protest against President Mubarak and his government.
TAHRIR SQUARE
Later on, the demonstrations became more and more violent , as a result of this, the internet was shut down by the government. Anyway, it is known the crucial role of young people in the transformation of the events, thanks to the use of the new technologies, such as Twitter, Facebbok and so on. It was obvious that they managed to be in touch and fix the meeting places and times.
On the 11February Mubarak finally agreed to step aside,therefore,thousands of people again gathered in Cairo´s Tahrir Square. At the moment the military is in charge of the country.
Not a soul has been seen near the Pyramyds ,there is a need of tourists .

"Biutiful" is a drama film directed by Alejandro González Iñarritu and starring Javier Bardem.As soon as we see the title ,we think of the English word beautiful. And that is the way it would sound to native Spanish speakers.It was nominated for the Academy Awards in 2010 in the category of Best Foreign Language film, apart from being nominated for Best Actor. Here is an interview in which Javier Bardem tells Pater Tracer about making his new film with A.Iñarritu, his family and making the other film called No Countrry For Old Men.
In the end,Javier Bardem had The Goya Award for Best Actor. We can see him kissing it
Knowing how difficult the use of the verb "to be"in the second type of conditionals is,here is a song which can help you remember and this is " If I were ...a rich man" .It is the title of a musical which was made into a film. You may have heard, it was very well-known.
The video shows the main character,the father, who is singing the song.
