With this activity you can learn the use of the modal verbs HAVE
(GOT) TO and SHOULD:
We use SHOULD to express ADVICE.
We use HAVE TO to express OBLIGATION in written and oral
communication. But we usually use HAVE GOT TO in oral communication,
for example in song.
So it's very common to find HAVE GOT TO in many different
versions, as they appear above:
have got to = 've got to = got to = gotta
Can you find more examples of SHOULD and HAVE (GOT) TO in the
song's lyrics?
Remember that have got to can appear in different
versions.

FORM & MEANING.
A relative clause tells us which thing or person the speaker
means.
"The man who works in the bank is my brother" - 'who
works in the bank' tells us which man.
We use who in relative clauses for a
person. Who is followed by a verb.
We use whose in relative clauses instead
of his/hers/theirs. Whose is followed by a noun.
We use where in relative clauses to talk
about a place. Where is followed by a noun or pronoun.
We use which (and that) in relative
clauses to talk about a thing.
Para preparar el examen de lectura en voz alta (Reading Performance) debes conocer cuáles son las palabras claves que te ayudarán a llevar el ritmo de las frases.
Es fácil detectar esas palabras cuando leemos porque son aquellas que más significado les dan a la frase. Como ya sabemos esas palabras en inglés las hemos llamado "Strong Words" y son principalmente los sustantivos, los adjetivos y los verbos principales. También pueden ser las expresiones de tiempo y las palabras interrogativas en las preguntas.
Sin embargo cuando escuchamos esas palabras en una lengua que no es la nuestra nos cuesta más trabajo identificarlas. Al hablar en inglés las "strong words" son las que le dan el ritmo a la frase, es decir le dan una musicalidad. Eso es lo que debes intentar hacer cuando leas en voz alta, es decir, pronunciar bien las "strong words" para llevar la música de la frase.
Parece difícil pero no lo es tanto. Hay un truco para aprender a hacer esto escuchando canciones. Las canciones de rap son las que más marcan el ritmo con las "strong words" pero suelen ser muy rápidas.
Para comenzar a practicar te aconsejo que empieces por una más lenta y conocida, como "Don't Worry, Be Happy"
1. Escucha la canción. Aquí tienes una versión bastante graciosa
3. Cuando empieces a escuchar te darás cuenta de que las palabras débiles "Weak words" también se pronuncian, pero menos fuerte que las que llevan el ritmo. Aquí tienes las "Strong words" de las primeras líneas:
Here's a littlesong I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note Don'tworry, be happy
4. Practica con toda la canción y reconocerás el ritmo que lleva.
Cuando leas en el examen tendrás que haber trabajado en casa la pronunciación de las "strong words", y haber escuchado el audio de la lectura para aprender a llevar el ritmo.
Good Luck
