Tongue Twisters in English :Umber’s Diary

Here are some tongue twisters (trabalenguas) in English to try at home, try to say the words quickly!

I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice cream!

 

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers

A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked

If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers

Where’s the peck of pickled peppers that Peter Piper picked?

 

I saw Susie sitting in a shoe shine shop.

 

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if the woodchuck could chuck wood?

He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,

And chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would,

If a woodchuck could chuck wood.

 

She sells sea shells by the seashore

And the shells she sells by the seashore are sea shells for sure.

 

All I want is a proper cup of coffee,

Made in a proper copper coffee pot

I may be off my dot

But I want a cup of coffee

From a proper coffee pot.

 

Tin coffee pots and iron coffee pots

They’re no use to me –

If I can’t have a proper cup of coffee

In a proper copper coffee pot

I’ll have a cup of tea.

Baking Delicious Cupcakes : Umber´s Diary

Baking

Hello everybody I hope you are all well. Recently I have noticed the increase in home baking as people are staying at home because of the virus. Many people are keeping busy by trying new recipes and cooking/baking. I went to the supermarket and couldn’t find any flour or baking powder because a lot of people are buying items that are needed for baking. People are uploading pictures of what they have made on social media platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok. A very popular trend on TikTok is making Dalgona coffee. There are many videos online demonstrating how to create the coffee.

 

Here is a simple recipe to make cupcakes 🙂

Equipment

  • A large bowl
  • Weighing scales and measuring spoon
  • Wooden spoon, whisk (or fork)
  • Cupcake cases

 

Ingredients

  • 125g caster sugar
  • 125g butter
  • 125g self raising flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla essence

 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven
  2. Mix the butter, sugar and vanilla extract together in a bowl
  3. Add the eggs
  4. Sift the flour
  5. Beat everything together until the mixture is smooth
  6. Use a tablespoon to half fill each case with the cupcake mixture then put them in the oven. The cupcakes should take 20 minutes to bake. Enjoy! (decorate if you want)

Umber´s Diary

Hello to all of the students of 1,2,3 ESO. It’s Umber the English language assistant here. I hope you are all well and safe. I am writing to you from Scotland. In the next few weeks I will be creating content in English for you so you can continue learning English at home.

I travelled home to Glasgow a few weeks ago to be with my family. The UK is also in lockdown like Spain. At home I have been watching TV, listening to music, reading books, drawing and spending a lot of time with my family. I try to do exercise every day to keep fit and healthy but sometimes I am lazy and don’t do exercise!

I miss going out with my friends and doing normal things like getting the train or going shopping. I also miss seeing all of my aunts, uncles, cousins and my grandma here in Glasgow! It is difficult not being to visit everybody but I hope things get better soon!

Stay safe 🙂 

Write a short paragraph in English about what you do at home during this lockdown.

  • What do you do at home? 
  • Have you been exercising at home? What kind of exercise do you do at home?
  • What do you miss the most about being outside?
